Is this a dream?

Chapter 11

I had been playing my Xbox all day and Jill just knocked on my door and told me to get ready were leaving in an hour. I switched my Xbox off and took a quick shower. I put my Tux on and i bought Xbox cufflinks yesterday to go with the Tux.

Once i was ready i met Gordon downstairs who was also ready. Jake came down after me along with Jill. "Kate come on!" Jill shouted upstairs and Kate came downstairs moaning how she was ready anyway,

"where are we going anyway?" i asked fixing my cufflinks "The Chiselton!" Jill said and i froze and just looked at her "what?" she asked and i shook my headc "nothing!" i mumbeled "lets go!" i said and we went in the car.

They kept asking me whats wrong but i just ignored them, i was to scared tog o there. My dad designed it and my mum done the interior decoration to the place, how could i go in there.

The drive was to short for my liking, i could have done it if the ground swallowed us up and we didnt have to go. We parked in the carpark outside the grey building and i gulped. "lets go people!" Gordon said taking Jills hand,

I looked up at the building suddenly scared of going in "you comming?" Kate asked from infront of me, i gave a slight nod as we walked in. The minute i went in the lobby i had to hold back the tears that were threating to surface,

We had to wait on them as they didnt like us sitting without them so i had to stay in the lobby. I took a breath and the tears sub-sided for a bit. I can do this, i just have to get through this dinner and never go in here again,ever!

Two well dressed elderly people came up to us and shook Gordons hand, he kissed the lady on the chees and they shook Jills hand aswell "mum dad this is our daughter Jo!" Jill said and i smiled "pleasure to meet you!" i said and shook there hand,

"i never knew you had a third child!" the woman said in shock "we adopted her!" Gordon said confidently, they looked at Gordon and Jill with utter shock and didnt glance my way. We were shown to our table and i chocked back the tears,

I remembered how long i took my dad to design this room, he was always staying up late and having sheets of paper all over the place over this room as it was difficult to design. It was the same with my mum when she was decorating it,

We took a seat right in the middle. It had gold legs and a white table cloth over it and a crystal chandelier above us. "you okay?" Kate whispered to me and i simply nodded not daring to speak incase the floods escape,

We ordered quickly and everytime the Grandparents glanced at me i got the feeling it wasnt a pleasent glance, not that i bothered. I was zonning out from the conversation, i couldnt listen to it i wasnt intrested.

I was so looking forward to putting them n there place today ut now i cant be bothered doing anything, i just wanna go home and curl up in bed. "hey you sure your okay?" Kate asked looking even more worried,

"just tired!" i chocked out and she nodded but diudnt look convinced "so Jo, tell us about you?" Gran said considering i dont know her name. I cleared my throat and sat up a bit "ehh.. well i play for the school soccer team, i am an A grade student, im in my last year of school and well what else is there you want to know?" i asked shyly, i wasnt in the mood for this,

Gordon,Jill,Jake and Kate all looked at me as they knew how much i wanted to put them in there place and now im acting all shy and not in the mood for anything, great now there will be questions that i dont want to answer,

"relationship status?" Gran asked and i smiled lightly but not full heartedly "in a relationship!" i said and she nodded and glanced at her husband giving him a look and he nodded, bitch. "what's his name?" Grandpa asked and i smirked,

"her name is Tina!" i said and they looked at me horrified and i took a bit of my salmon "why you both look like you've seen a ghost is everyhting okay?" i asked with fake concern and they looked at Jill and Gordon who were smiling at me,

"you adopted a dyke!" Grandpa said and before Gordon could defend me i interupted "sorry but i prefer the term Lesbian, i think it suits me better!" i said camly and Gordon and Jill looked at me as if im crazy at taking this so well,

"well i hear your kind can get married now so when do you plan on doing it?" Gran asked and i smriked "well first of im not another species, im still human and secondly i disagree on marriage so never!" i said and they looked as if they were going to pass out,

"how on earth can you adopt somone so disfuntional!" Grandpa said and i smiled "i'd rather be disfuctional than perfect!" i said and they looked at me with disgust and i simply smirked at them "well then!" Gran said,

I bl;ocked out the awkward conversation until it moved onto something more subtle but i didnt listen so  could block it out, it was about the building and no matter how much i tried i couldnt blcok out what they were saying,

"im not one who likes all this gold colour!" Gran said and Grandpa nodded "its to in your face, it could do with being taken away!" he siad, the conversation was mainly between Gran and Grandpa, the others were just eating there food,

"and those blue pillars im talking abnout all the swirls on them, with the gold they dont look rather well together!" i cringed at what Gran said, the pillars against the gold were my mums base line for the whole room it was her favourite part,

The continued pointing out faults in the room and i couldnt take it anymore "please excuse me!" i said with anger  and standing up "oh and by the way, i happen to know that both the architect and the designer spent alot of time and energy into this building and the interior decor!" with that i walked away and outside,

I didnt stray far i just sat on the steps outside. I took my tie of and undone the buttons to my waiscoat and let out a breath then all the tears i had been holding back were let loose and i was a cxrying mess.

Someone sat next to me and going by the smell of there perfume it was Jill "come here pet!" she said and pulled me into a hug and i cried onto her shoulder. She rubbed my back soothing me and i slowly calmed down,

"now whats up?" she asked and i sniffied "my dad was the architect for the building and my mum done all the decore!" with that i burst into tears again. She held onto me tight and kept telling me it was going to be okay,

"its going to be okay, dont listen to those two back there. They know no different, i happen to like the building even if it is a bit fancy. Your mum and dad would be proud of you for sticking up for them so dont worry!" she said and i smiled,

"thanks!" i said and she smiled at me. At that point Gran and Grandpa or the two bitches as ive now nicknamed them walked past us and didnt acknoledge us. The others all came over and sat round us with Gordona next to me and Kate and Jake sitting infront facing us,

"hey what happened to them?" Jill asked and Gordon smiled "they started commenting things about Jo we didnt like, i told them to stick it up them and they stromed of~!" he said and i laughed a bit "thanks!" i said and he smiled,

"you okay?!" Kate asked and i nodded "im fine!" i said and they all smiled "come on lets go home!" Gordon said, we all nodded and pilled into the car. The car ride was silent as we went home and as soon as we got in we all went straiht to bed,

Jill checked on me before she went to sleep and once she was gone i was out like a light!
