House Guest

House Guest (One Shot)

The family was gathered in my grandparents living room, laughing and talking, when a hoard of women came in. I must have been the most surprised, my aunt said "Elizabeth aren't you going to say hello?"

"Ah, sorry hi. What exactly are you doing here?" I spoke

"Elizabeth!" My mother scolded

"It's quite alright. She has every right to ask. We are moving into our new house." The woman in the front declared

"Your house?" I asked

"Yes, we just bought this house."

"This house hasn't been up for sale in months. This is my grandparents home; all their memories are here. All of our memories are here. You can't up and take it from them!"

"We just did."

"You can't! They have nowhere to go!"

"That isn't my problem."

"It is because you are kicking us out! You had better find an affordable place for my family to live or else!"

"Elizabeth, we don't speak that way to others." Grandma Starling reprimanded.

"You seem quite upset. I'll tell you what your grandparents can stay in the house, as long as they aren't in the same room we're in. They must do the same if we throw parties."

"What?!" I exclaimed.

"I'm letting them stay here; the least they can do is give us some privacy." The woman said.

"This is ridiculous."

"Take it or leave it."

"We'll take it." My grandpa said

I stormed out through the throng of women; too angry to say anything further. My dog may be a bitch because we bred her; but these high and mighty's were the pure definition of the word. How dare they intrude upon us in such a manner. I wanted to wring their skinny little necks. I had to get some fresh air.

"Hey Mom, when do you want us to start unpacking everything?" a young man said

"In a minute Oliver. Mommy is talking right now." The head woman replied

I started shoving past all the men. There were four in total. Bumping into one, I looked up, in awe. I knew my mind had to be playing tricks on me. This was someone I wanted to meet so badly my teeth hurt. This had to be a dream.

"Oh, sorry about that. I'm Sebastian by the way." The star said.

"No, I wasn't paying attention, I'm sorry. Elizabeth." I replied.

"Seb, what's wrong? Why aren't we moving?" A girl came to stand next to him.

The girl was around sixteen years old. She was my height which was 5'6" give or take a little. She had shoulder length mouse brown hair with brown eyes to match. She looked like a toothpick. How anyone could still be standing; and be that skinny was beyond me. Her features were mouse like. I wanted to call her a shrew.

"Nothing, I think there are just a lot of people Rene."

"Well, I'm ready to go in now. Sebby, get them to make us stop waiting." Rene whined

"Excuse me, they are my grandparents; and you are making them move out! You gave no reason or notice. This is where my memories are. This is my dream house and you decide to come months after the deadline to snatch it out of the whole family's grasp. Do you ever think about the consequences or what the effect will be?"

"Why should I or my family? It isn't our problem."

"No, you caused it, like you most likely do in everything that has to do with you."
