"No, no, no. That's freakin hilarious," I laughed hysterically.

Me?  The controller of all elementals!
That's funny shit.

"I don't see what's funny about this," she asked puzzled.

"You!"

I fell off the couch in hysterics.

"GET UP," she boomed.

I slowly slinked back to sitting position on the couch from the floor. 

"Okay let's say I am. IF, keep in mind that this is a giant if, then how is that possible. You can only be one element"

"No. If you are related by blood to all four elementals then you are all four elements"

"My family is about as mediocre as it gets. My mom runs a business, my dad is a cop, and I have one grandma who's currently dying from cancer. My entire side of the family from my dad is dead and I don't even talk to any of the people from my mom's side except-"

I stopped dead in my tracks.

"Shit. Shit. Shittety. Shit. Shit!"

"What is it?"

"My aunt is getting married"

"Congra-"

"TODAY!," I yelled.

"Oh. That is an issue. I wish I could hel-"

"CYAN!"

"Cuh- who?"

"My friend!"

I whipped my phone out and dialed her number.

"Come on, come on. Pick uuup!," I muttered into the phone.

"Yeah," she answered flatly.

"I need a really huge, ginormous favor"

"OH THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL-"

"It involves a wedding and giving me a makeover"

"I'll be over in ten"

The phone beeped and she was gone.
I knew it would work.

"Why is this wedding so important?"

"It's complicated"

Not really, but I just really didn't feel like recalling all this family drama. In all reality my mom will have my ass if I don't go to this wedding. My mom's sister, Eden, is getting married.

For the sixth time.

They all keep dying on her.
I wonder why?

Oh I know because she is absolutely bat shit crazy!
She got fired from a teaching position because she took a student's phone that they had been texting on during her class, shoved it down her pants, and told him (and I quote) 'Now come and get it'.

What the hell kind of a teacher does that!
And then she wonders why they all die!
I would die too if I was married to that, but that's none of my business.

Oh well.

However, this guy is special because he's my mom's big bad boss. Granted she's the CEO, but that's none of my business either.

Long, and bat shit crazy, story short, my mom wants me to go to show how lovely of a family she has so she can get some dumb promotion.

She has a daughter from her first husband though. I don't remember her name I think it started with A.
I don't know.
She's probably just as crazy as her mom.
