Moments to remember

Party in the USA

Becky's POV

~March 12th~

-The day of the party-

"Oh, God, where is she? You're really gonna be late. Just awful, awful." My mom screamed, walking nervously through the room. "It's gonna be fine, I have a half hour until the party starts." My mom was annoyed because my dress hadn't arrived yet from the tailor. "Close your eyes." She said and I could feel a gentle brush going over my eyelid. I really wanted to do this by myself because I have the whole idea in my head, but this really makes my mom happy, so I let her do it. That's like the only thing that she still gets excited about, spending time with me and just making me look beautiful. "But seriously, where is she? Maybe she stole it." "Eva wouldn't steal my dress, I'm sure she got stuck in traffic." My mom sighed and turned around. In that moment Eva rushed into room holding my small black dress. "Here it is. So sorry, but the city is in such a mess you wouldn't believe." "Yeah, yeah, just give us the dress so she can try it on. Come on, go and try it on." My mom said, her eyes craving for the dress. It's always like this, right before every party, she gets me all dressed up and then she just stares at me. She says I am the most beautiful girl in the world and then breaks down crying. After that she goes to her room and looks at her old yearbooks. She was so beautiful, so ambitious and so clever. She went to law school, the top at her class every year, after she finished all the major agencies wanted her to work for them she could have had everything she wanted, but she got pregnant so she decided that it's better for her to be a stay at home mom rather than a workoholic mom who barely sees her child.And everybody where talking how a great mother she is and just how an amazing person she is. Well everyone except her parents, they are so uptight. My grandfather is a politician and my grandmother was a lawyer, one of the better ones, but she is retired now. So when my mom said she wasn't going to work my grandma was angry as hell, she said my mom was ruining her life by wasting this opportunity and concetrating on a child who isn't even born yet. Then my grandma said how she managed to balance work and a daughter and my mom yelled that she was a terrible mother because of that and my grandma said that my mom will regret this decision one day. That's when they stopped talking and it lasted for months and months, but when I was born my grandma came and apologized to my mom. Because she wasn't gonna let a stupid fight keep her from seeing her granddaughter. After that, everything patched up, my mom was extremely happy with her life. Then my dad became successful and our life was turned upside down, he became on of the top architects in the country and of course my grandma turned that against my mother saying "That could have been you. You could have been so successful." And she planted a seed of doubt in my mom that's why every time when I dress up she thinks about how her life would have turned out if she stayed at her job. So because of all of that she turns to alcohol, but I have no idea what will happen now since I hid it all. I got out from the bathroom with my dress on and her eyes watered right away. "Oh my God, Becks, you look amazing. Really, you are the most beautiful girl in the world." I gave her a big smile and turned to Eva who was looking at me strangely. "Who are you actually supposed to be?" she asked confused? "She is Nancy of course, from Oliver Twist." My mom answered with a big smile. "Nancy? The prostitute?" Eva asked shocked. "She wasn't just a prostitute, she gave her life to help Oliver, she was so kind, wasn't she?" my mom answered immediately."But still, isn't the dress a little bit short?" Eva continued speaking. IT understood her concern, the dress was just long enough to cover my butt, but it is really amazing. It was made from tight soft black material which was covered with black lace, the material just barely covered my breasts and then everything up and the short sleeves were made of lace. I really do look amazing. I put on my old navy boots I used to wear when I went fishing with my dad. My hair was in a high ponytail, I had dark red lipstick on and the rest of the make up was darkish.
