A promise lost

8pm Saturday night. Daisy and Luigi had gone to her mother's home for a dinner party she was hosting. Lilian Dill was her mother's name. She'd gotten a divorce with Daisy's father when she was younger. Ever since then she's been living in a small cottage house in Tennessee. As Daisy got older she got closer to her mother. After all her parents were legit in two different worlds. Her father had become a drug addict and was living in isolation in Sarasaland. Although he did have a pristine lady he'd married named Veronica Versailles. She wasn't the sweetest though. More like a poison apple as Daisy would say. Anyway back to the story.

The couple had just arrived at the lovely home and got settled once they were inside. Daisy was wearing a lovely short black vintage dress. It cut off on her lower thigh and displayed a pretty Aztec pattern along the rim. It was a small V-neck at the top. Her hair was down; straight bangs covered her eye brows. Her now long hair was curled at the ends. Her Smokey eyes were perfection along with the cat-eyed eyeliner design. Lipstick as red as blood and shiny black pumps finished her outfit. She looked pretty classy for a 19 year old. Oh and did I mention she was 8 months pregnant? Luigi on the other hand wore black slacks nice dress shoes, and a white V-necked long sleeve t-shirt.

The two walked into the dining room. There sat all of her siblings along with her mother. There was Acacia, Azalea, Basil, Lucas, Demetri and Annette. Acacia was the youngest at 14, then came Annette at 15, Azalea at 17, Daisy came next at 19, then Demetri at 21, and Lucas at 21 beating Demetri by a month. Basil was the oldest at 24. A big family but they rarely got together like this anymore.

*ding ding ding* Lilian had tapped her glass with her spoon to get everyone's attention

"Welcome my children, I'm so happy that all of you could make it" she greeted with a smile. Daisy and Luigi took a seat and smiled. "And congratulations to my beautiful daughter and her soon to come baby!" Daisy smiled and replied with a quiet and short thank you.

"but I unfortunately I did not invite you all here without purpose. There's… something I need to discuss with you all." Everyone grows quiet and listens anxiously.

"Everyone. As hard as it is for me to say this. I've had cancer. I've had it for 3 years. And in a few weeks I'm getting off my medications. The stuff they treat me with hurts me now. And I'm done fighting"

Acacia stands up and looks up at her mom with a mad face full of tears. "So this… this is what you brought us all together to tell us!? That you're dying." She shakes her head frantically and sits down.

Daisy looks at Luigi with fearful eyes. Then starts to slowly cry. She turns her head to a portrait of her dad on the wall. She slowly stands up. Her family looks at her. She takes her glass of wine. And she throws it at the portrait screaming "I HATE YOU! " everyone looks at her in shock. Daisy Walks over to the portrait and just stands there. The portrait was made of a hard canvas so it wasn't easily damaged. She looks at it. Eyes all red and bloodshot. And she starts to punch it frantically. "I HATE YOU! BECAUSE OF YOU EVERYTHING TURNS BAD I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU!" She falls to the ground. With her hands in her face. Luigi runs over to her and holds her tight. Annette stands up and looks at her. "Daisy what do you mean this is Papa's fault! Papa's dead!" Azalea looks at little Annette and Acacia. "Guys I think it's time we told them." Lilian nods in agreement and slowly speaks. "Your father left us when you were only merely 1 and 2 years old. He became a drunkard and it wasn't safe in Sarasaland anymore. So I took you all and ventured to the real world. Little did I know, once a person like me crosses to the real world from this world a lot of sickness can occur. In this case I got Cancer." "But that doesn't explain why daisy thinks it's his fault! We left him we should be fine!" Acacia looks up and points to the portrait. Basil stands up to have his word. "Daisy didn't come with us when we left for the real world. Of course she is the princess. She was the only one who got the royal birthmark. Daisy stayed with her dad until she was 12, and that's when mom came to get her."

Demetri chimes in with a soft reply. "Those 12 years her dad had brainwashed her into thinking Mom was the bad guy, and when we all told her the truth she was furious. Later in the years we'd realized that mom had cancer. Daisy knew that if her dad wasn't the way he was and would've been more supportive to the family at the time of need maybe this wouldn't have happened. But it did. He lied to her. And she can never forgive him for that"

Daisy gets herself together and sits back at the table. "Acacia, Annette. We didn't tell you two about the Cancer Mom had because we thought you weren't ready to hear it."

"yea you would've taken it the wrong way and not understood" lucas adds in.

"we understand." The girls reply. "It's just all so sudden."

Well how was it? planning on making it a 10 chapter story so chime in for tomorrow
