Roseville Middle School

Weirdest Dinner with 'Aunt Autumn'

We both went down with identical clothes and did our old hairstyles.  Lilly with her braids and me with my ponytail. 

" Daddy!  Mummy!"  Lilly shrieked as we went down the long spiralling stairs. 

We found Dad sitting awkwardly in the middle of Hazel-nut and Mom.  Mom looked like she was going to burst and Hazel seemed smug in her red dress.  Charlotta sat next to Dad, she was also talking rapidly to Hazel and Mom.  When we ran into the room, Dad looked up and exclaimed. 

" There are my girls!"  Dad saids, opening his arms to hug us. 

We stumbled into his arms and we laughed. 

" Is Lilliana older or is Izzy older?"  Hazel asked, pointing at us. 

Mom looks really annoyed as Hazel hugged Lilly. 

Lilly smiled. 

" Right, you're James's girl?  Right?"  She asked Lilly. 

Lilly said yes and Hazel said that it would be splendid to have another step-daughter in the house that she could take care of. 

" Wait,"  I suddenly whispered to Dad, " Hazel- nut is gonna be married to you?"  

Dad looks at me sternly and said, " We were talking about a new start and Hazel saids that she would love to get married sooner."  

I looked at him in astonishment, he nodded, Hazel nodded, Charlotta nodded, Mom nodded and even Lilly nodded.

" You guys knew all this time and you kept it away from me?"  I said, tears starting to flood my eyes. 

They all nodded in unison and at that moment I couldn't bear it.  I rushed out of the room, up the stairs and knocked on Brandon's room. 

" Brandon?"  I said to the door. 

He opened the door and pulled me in. 

" Why are you crying Izzy?  Why is little Izzy bizzy crying up the castle door?"  He started to sing the tune Mom would sing to me when I cry.  "  Izzy bizzy, finding herself alone.  Izzy bizzy saids, she'll never be lonely.  Izzy bizzy comes into my door.  Izzy bizzy saids she was bored.  But the truth is that she is lonely, and she wants me to play with her again."  

I smiled weakly and he hugged me,  " If it's about that hazelnut outside is making you sad I would go personally kill her, she drove me mad downstairs by calling me Brad, I prefer to not think about her."  

We chatted for a while and Dad called us in for dinner. 

" Come down Isabelle, Brandon, we're waiting for you, dinner's starting."  He shouted. 

We both rushed down the stairs and found them sitting in the dining room. 

" Dad, Hazel, Lilly, Char, Brandon, M..."  I wanted to say Mom but Dad kicked me under the table. 

" Aunt Autumn."  He mouthed and I rolled my eyes. 

" Aunt Autumn."  I said finally. 

Mom looks really pissed off but Hazel only laughs. 
" She's so close to you that she calls you Mom, that's adorable."    She saids as the food arrives. 

I sighed, my mom is now Aunt Autumn, double A... Nice... 

The rest of the night was uttermost awkward silent from my mom,  my dad and HazelNut talking about the future wedding plans, Brandon and Charlotta arguing about why they should stay with the parent, and me and Lilly spent our night in my room chatting about the past week .
