Is she the good girl?

Chapter 6: Memories

Elina POV

"I have been so patient with you, caring about what you're feeling. But right now your attitude is gone over the boarder... all I've asked from you was to be nice to Elina. For goodness sake I bribed you! Her happiness for you party...but I guess you're not getting that" she finishes with an angry tone.

I stood there shocked, processing what Rose had just said. I wanted to speak but I was speechless and didn't want to say something that I might have regretted later.

So I started heading to my room. That's when Rose realised that I was there, she looked at me with an apologetic look, which caused me to stop in my tracks. "Oh god... Elina..." she exclaims while walking to me, but I took a step back and shake my head, which caused her to stop walking.

"Don't... you know what, thanks for the surprise but I am not a little kid who would have gotten hurt because some people don't want to be nice to them. But I guess you wouldn't have understood that" I spat glancing at Aaron, I decided to carry on walk, I grabbed my bag and headed to my room, when my dad tried to grab my forearm, I dodge it and headed up the stair to my room slamming and locking the door shut behind me.

I jumped on my bed and faced the ceiling exhaling whiles closing my eyes. I tried to calm myself down yet the scene kept replying in my head. I decided to call Dylan, within 3 rings he picked up.

"Hey El, what was the emergency?" He spoke, "It was a surprise that went wrong." I muttered "What do you mean?" He said, sounding confused "Well..." I started off explaining the whole situation to him, from the moment I parked my car till I got to the room.

"... how could I have been so stupid to think that he was actually being nice to me." I exclaimed, jumping out of my bed and pacing in the room. "I was so stupid... and Rose, I don't understand why she had to do this, like seriously bribing her son, is that how bad she wanted us to be a family." I said, "Well she was only trying to make sure that you get a perfect birthday" Dylan reasoned with me, I sighed "Okay so she may have wanted my birthday to be prefect and not be ruined, that's cool but why bribe him!" I say walking to the window.

"Maybe because Rose knew how much of an arse Aaron really is" He suggested... I nod my head, then realised that Dylan couldn't see me "I guess I'm just overthinking this Rose, Aaron and Matt are nothing to me. By law they maybe my family, but I am finally 18 which means that I'm a legal adult and independent, who wouldn't have to depend on anyone. It not like I have been depending on anyone anyways" I convince myself.

"Did you know that you're legal in in 118 countries?" Dylan questioned, "What?" I laugh "It's just a fun fact, I had read it somewhere on the net" Dylan answers

I walked to my desk where I saw a box labelled 'memories' 'I guess dad must have had put it there' I thought to myself, I sat down at my desks opening the box. The first thing I noticed was it being all the Polaroid pictures that was taken by my mum when she was alive.

My mum believed that Polaroid's capture the moments so perfectly, better than a phone or a digital camera, because you would get the image instantly.

"You and your weird facts" I say as I went through the pictures and came passed a picture of mum and myself, with her arms around me tightly while kissing my check.

I remember that day like it was yesterday, I was 9 years old and it was my birthday party. I was dressed in this beautiful baby blue summer dress with white polka dots and mum had on this gorgeous floral dress that looked absolutely stunning on her.

She wanted to take a picture of just me and her but I didn't want to, since I wanted to eat some of her delicious homemade pizza. So she wrapped her arms around me from behind and kissed my cheek, as I tried to get away.

I chuckled at that the picture remembering how that pizza was all I could think about and how badly I wish she could kiss me on the check right now.

I realised that a tear was rolling down my face until I saw the tear drop on the photo. I wiped my check and placed my two finger to my lips, kissed it and placing the kiss on the photo. I was pull away from the thoughts about my mother "Elina... El! Hey are you listening to me or did you zone out?" Dylan yelled through the phone "Oh sorry, I saw a box of photos taken by my mum, was just going through that" I apologized, I heard Dylan sighed "Anyways, I'm going to come over to your house, see you there" I muttered, then hung up.

With that I put my phone in my back pocket, grabbing a jacket from my closet, unlocking the door and opening it making sure to shut it behind me quietly. I walked down the stairs and headed in the kitchen, I realised the house was a bit silent but I could hear the TV being played from the living room.

I grabbed the door handle "Elina...?" I heard a small voice, I turn around facing the direction of the sound and see Matt there awkwardly shuffling. I give him a small smile "Hey Matt, what's up?" I questioned being quite "you left that downstairs" he said as he pointed to the red and white polka dots package on the counter, my eyes followed as he pointed "don't you want to open it?" He smiled which made me smile, "Err... I'm going to visit a friend maybe when I come back" I replied, he nodded then ran away.

"That was weird..." I chuckle to myself, then headed to the garage clicking the button on my keys to unlock my car, getting inside and drove off to Dylan's house.
