Track Mom Down

A nude color dress, it fell above her knees and it was a bit fitting but will definitely be covered with the graduation coat. That was what she wore under this graduation coat. She didn't want to look over so she had applied simple make for the day time, her hair was left with it's natural wave to add on being natural and not over.

Her eyes fell on the girl in front of her in the mirror with a small smile as she examined herself. It was her graduation day and her mother wasnt there to celebrate or shade tears for her.

She would wonder how life could be if her mother didn't disappear like that. She would have been more happy, Scott and Sean sure could still be pigs but her relationship with her dad would have been better.

He would have treated her like his own daughter and not like she was adopted, adopted kids are actually receiving more love than her, that's what she thought.

Not his girl is what she think she is, and at times it seems like it's true. She looks nothing like Sean and Scott, they had Burnett hair color and they had much from their father while she had a lot from her mother, expect that her brothers have the same crystal blue eyes like her parents and she has the milk-chocolate brown eyes alone.

She wished she had her mother's eyes instead. She didn't even know if her mother wanted her in her life in the first place.

Her mother always was that precious loving mother anyone would want, she was supportive and would always give her advice but suddenly she disappear from Scarlett's life like she have never been there.

Why did she leave? Did she hate us? Were we such a drag? Did we waste her years? Did she even love us or was that all an act?

She had questions that are waiting in for answered, one day they might get their answers by meeting her personally but the question was, is she even alive?

"Scarlett, Come on down we are leaving." The calling of Sean made her snap back to realization that their 2 minutes late. "I'm coming!" And she rushes down, almost tripping on her way to the car where her family was waiting for her.

I had just came back from the group photo with my class, after throwing our caps in the air, that's when a very funny scene happened. When we we're on the countdown to throw our caps, the moment we said three we threw our caps and Liam kissed me right on the cheek at the same time the camera snapped the picture, funny isn't it? I held all my anger in to not murder him on my graduation.

I'm gonna miss him.

"Congratulations, berry sized sister!" Scott jumped on me making me startled but laughing at the nickname. "Thank you, pea sized little brother, I hope to see you graduate one day." I smiled at him as he scoffed at me.

"Congratulations, letty." I was handed a bouquet of flowers from Sean making me feel at aww on him before pulling him for a hug. "Thank you, Sean." I smiled pulling away from him.

My eyes immediately fell on Morgan, I didn't know whether I should go and hug her for her to congratulate me or not. My eyes ignored her for good, maybe? But it landed on Jade who waved at me to come, which was what I was about to do when I was stopped.

"Scarlett, come here." She said and I turned and walked up to her. My brothers were preparing their selves for a show maybe?

She pulled her handbag and toke out something from the inside. "Turn around," I didn't know what was she going to do, murder me or anything but I just turned around.

As I do so, I felt a cold metal thing on my neck, when I looked on my neck, I saw a small shiny crystal necklace, or maybe it was real diamond?

"Ohh.. Is that real?" Scott asked taking a look at it, making Morgan smile at him. "Of course it is," she replied.
