The Legend's Destiny

"Family"

Why is it that in the rare scenario that I need to wear something nice, all my nice clothes MYSTERIOUSLY disapear? Like, my gosh! What is with the universe screwing with me?

"Aw look at that! Little dearie Scarlet is wearing a dress," A shrill high voice says from my door frame. I knew she was coming. I was just hoping that I would be gone by then. Who is "she" you might ask? Well, it's only pure evil in creature form. Also known as my dad's girlfriend, Margo. They started dating 1 or 2 years ago and she has bothered me ever since the day my dad entered the house shouting "KIDS! COME MEET MARGO!" I wanted her to drop dead right then and there. On the contary, my brother, Connar, pretty much fell in love with our new possible step-mother almost instantly.

"Hi, Margo! Nice to see you again," I say, trying to pretend I can tolerate her.

"Scarlet, what's with the dress? That disgrace of a boyfriend dump you yet?" OH HECK NO. She did NOT just insult MY Spencer. Insult me, apologize and run. Insult Spencer, say hello to your death bed.

"First of all, he is not a disgrace, second of all, I am going on a date," she sends me a smile of evil.

"You can't go though. Dearie, we are having dinner tonight. As a FAMILY," that's it.

"Last time I checked, you were not part of our 'family', and even if my dad makes the mistake of marrying you, you will never be my mom. Not now, not ever," before she can say anything I grab my purse from my desk and squeeze between Demon and my doorframe and I leave my house. Unfortunately, Spencer isn't there yet so Margo gets a chance to come outside with me. Not only that, she brings my dad.

"Scarlet. I love you, but you are not to talk to my girlfriend like that! You are not going on that date tonight beause we are having a family dinner," my dad says firmly. I don't need to look at Demon to know that she is wearing a smug smirk on her ugly face. Although my dad is harsh on me, I like staying on his good side. Even if Connar is obviously his favourite.

"But Daddy...Spencer was going to take me out on a picnic," I say sweetly.

"My decision is final, Scarlet," No. This is not happening. The first night in 2 months that Spencer asks me out on a date, and my dad decides to have the first family dinner ever. I start to cry.

"Okay, dad," usually I would be yelling at him by now, but the energy is just not there. As I pass them my dad pats me lightly on the back and Demon hisses

"Cry baby," that only makes me cry more. Why is this my life? Why must I put up with this? I quckly text Spencer.

'cant go. dududududududu demon strikes agn!'-Scarlet

I Lay back down and cry and cry. I just keep saying the same things over and over again.

"They forgot my brithday is in 2 days. Dad is going to marry Demon. My life Is going to change and I have no say in it. My life sucks. They say they love me but they don't. They only pay attention to Connar because he's smarter and he's just so damn perfect." I just keep thinking and thinking until no more tears come out. For the past 2 years, both Connar and my dad have forgotten my birthday. I hate my family. If only my mom was still alive. Then I would be loved by someone, and no one would compare me to Connar. Stupid Connar. So popular. So smart. So perfect. He doesn't even have a girlfriend, but dad and Demon still think he's the best child ever. Connar has the perfect life. How is it that he has the best life ever while I have the worst life ever, and we live in the same house? He's almost 18 so he could move out soon. It's not like he would. I'm turning 15 in 2 days. Does anyone care? Nope. Just then I get a text from Spencer.

'aw. srry 2 hear that. ill take u out another day. k?'-Spencer

I smile a little as I reply

'k. i was looking frwrd 2 this picnic tho.'- Scarlet

In less than 5 minutes he responds.

'ill do smt bigger & better. jst wait.'- Spencer

i just smile and wipe my tears. I start to get ready for this so called "family" dinner. Let the hell begin.
