In my family, the most important thing was money. We were one of the richest families in our town. But Still, my mom wanted more. She was obsessed with planning my and my sister's future. I always believed in true love. But my mom thought otherwise, she was so excited to marry me off and profit from me and my husband's company. 14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89d1IkHfWU
There we were at the dinner table and my mom was going on a rant about finding a "suitable man with loads of money" I watched Quinn as she slowly ate her food while side-eyeing, Mom. She was my favorite sister, and my other sister Mia ( My mom's favorite) was quiet and constantly plotting things with Mom. Mia looked just like my mom with dark hair and warm brown eyes. Mom's plans never seemed to contradict her, always in her favor. You could clearly see why it was like she was her clone. 14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WhFo33ALZ
After dinner, I quickly ran upstairs before Mom could try and stick any more of her crazy ideas in my head. When I checked my phone I saw I had a missed call from Arlen. Arlen has been my friend since we were 3, he was the only person my mom let me hang with that she didn't care about how much money was to his name. I decided to call him back. I told him all about the nonsense my mom had said tonight. " And Your mom gets worse and worse" I always tell Arlen everything crazy my mom does. We had no secrets between us. Well, almost no secrets. " Arlen you can't say that she might hear you" " I don't think that's how phones work Mel"
In some way, he had a point, but he was also talking quite loud.
" Whatever, anyways what should I do?" " Let's just hope she's not serious" " We can only hope that, Quinn said she's going to try and talk to her." I tried to have some hope, but I knew she was serious, she had brought this subject up at least 20 different times. " Well, that's good! Wanna try and meet tomorrow at the Woodbrooke cafe?" Why is Arlen suddenly trying to hang out with me?" Where's that?" I asked " It's close I'll just come and pick you up around 1:00," he said " Wow how mysterious, sure sounds fine" I joked. I guess I have a lunch date tomorrow. " Well see you tomorrow," he said "Bye" 14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8seEkguzO3
After that, I headed off to Quinn's room to talk. -knock- " Come in," I saw her dirty blonde hair sway through the open door. Unlike me, Mia, and my mom, Quinn had blonde hair like my dad and green eyes. " What's up?" she said " I just felt like talking" I answered. " oh about Arlen or what Mom was saying?" I may or may not have talked a bit about Arlen to her, I mean after being friends with someone for that long at least one of you has to catch feelings. "It's about mom" I answered. " Oh ok, well like I said I'll talk to her." Quinn early after dinner had said she would try and talk to Mom about this nonsense. 14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmWUt7THMi
That's why I loved Quinn she was always there for me and was one of my closest friends. " Yeah, I don't know why she suddenly cares so much now about our future," she said "Now that Dad has been gone for almost 2 years now on his supposed "business trip, She's been acting funky," I said. My dad left for a "business trip" and it's been two years since we last saw or heard from him. For all we know, he might as well be dead. " Yeah, I know for a fact Dad wouldn't let her do this if he was home. Maybe she's out for me and has been waiting for the right moment." I said.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpS9kqi44u
" Don't exaggerate I'm sure it's in your best interest," she said I wanted to think this was true but I knew it wasn't " More like her best interest" I said rolling my eyes. "OK I won't deny that, but why hasn't she tried this on me and Mia" She said crossing her arms."Mia's like her right-hand soldier. I've never been close to her so I bet you they both planned against me" Mia had always been mom's favorite from when we were little I really don't know why, was it cause she was a replica of her or was it cause she obeyed her like she was her servant? "I think you need some sleep," she said " Come on you have to admit it's suspicious" I answered "Ok, maybe a little but we shouldn't look too much into it. Listen how about we sleep on it and tomorrow I'll talk to her." I was pretty tired. "OK, good night." I finally said. " Goodnight"
I left walked back to my room and got ready for bed. But I still didn't understand my mom, and I was suspicious of what she and Mia were up to.
