"Darling you know what we've discussed" said my father in a stern tone.
"I know, but I don't want to go, don't want to see someone I know being forced to go there. I just can't face it" I muttered.
"Look, Madge. Just get dressed." he replied before strutting out of my pristine pink bedroom and slamming the door.
I've never really liked my room. The white four poster bed placed delicately next to my window overlooking the meadow always looks immaculate as does everything else. My long mirror highlighting my every insecurity sits in the centre of my room while my wardrobe full of garish clothes stands in a separate room. Everything is so perfect, so unlike me, so mother.
I walk into my wardrobe and grab the least hideous dress I can find which happened to be an expensive looking white lace number and put it on before walking up to my mirror and combing my dirty blonde hair. "100 times, mother always says." I mumbled as I fumbled with the instrument. It was then that I remembered it. The shiny gold pin in the box on my dressing table. The pin which used to belong to my Aunt. I didn't realise the significance of it at the time so I pinned it against my dress and scuttled downstairs.
"Ready darling?"My father said. 'Hell no' I wanted to say however I couldn't bring myself to so instead I shook my head. "They won't pick you m'dear" stated he, however that was not why I was concerned."Madgey! Really? Your hair looks a state" Boomed my monster of a mother before viciously pulling back my head and quickly tying back my hair with a bright pink ribbon. "Much better." She retorted proudly as though she had made a real difference to my life. I politely smiled at her before walking over to the piano;my one true love. Just as I began to caress my fingers against the lavish ivory keys of the elegant instrument there was a knock at the door. Knowing that nobody else would answer, I walked down the marble hallway towards the large wooden door. My fingers turned around the large brass door knob and there the door opened leaving two familiar silhouettes.
