"Oh my gosh, Ashley! You look beautiful!" my mother exclaimed. In a few months it Ashley's wedding. Ashley is my sister and to be honest, it seems like she's the only one child in this family. I'm practically invisible. I got home from school three hours now and they haven't even noticed. Sure a wedding is a big thing, but I want some love and attention too. The only time I get that is when they come to butter me up to do some work.

Like for instance, Ashley never had to work at Sonic Boom, my family's music store. She's older than me by six years and still at twenty-one, she's never had to stand behind the counters and work the register. And Ashley is not even a sweet angel. She's mean and rude and doesn't give a shit about anyone. In her high-school years my mother said she's gone boy crazy. A new boyfriend for every month, then she'd go partying almost all the time. She'd come home at three in the morning smelling like beer and cigar.

I am fifteen and I have never gotten any attention. I have a huge burn across my hand form making my family dinner and they noticed a couple months later. I get home from school and only at dinner time they notice me. And first they ask Ashley about her day and she's talk all meal long. And when they ask me and just mumble a 'fine' and go to bed. They don't notice that I'm out at school because recently Ashley has been getting them up early and keeping my parents up with crying for what, I don't know. They really don't care about me. It seems as though they want to get rid of my sister before they move on to me.

And my life would never be like Ashley's. She's all crazy and fun to be around, while I'm the one with the books who doesn't get no attention. Like I said, the forgotten child.

The only time my family ever paid attention to me and even Ashley. When all their eyes were always on me, when they were actually concerned... was when I got my first boyfriend. Austin Moon. He's the best. I loved him with all my heart and he loved me back too. He was there for me. Put me first. When someone bad talked me, he'd stand up for me. When my own family ignored my presence, he'd make it crystal clear that I was home. When I always brought him home, my whole family would always be there. There was something about him, that makes everyone want to be around him.

That was last summer. The one time in my life, I was happy. I actually felt like part of my family. My life was picture perfect.

Then there was a nasty break-up. One that ended with us in tears and lots of hoarse voices. I got the news that he moved to some other place after a week in the breakup. After he was gone, no one listened to me ever again.

My life went down hill.

I was up in my room, I could hear everything. There was a vent downstairs that leads to my room. So every conversation that is downstairs, I hear them. I finished my homework an hour ago. I was get laying on my bed just resting.

"I don't know, I think my hips look fat," Ashley complained. She was probably looking for the perfect reception dress. A normal person would think about getting a wedding dress before the reception dress, but Ashley was different.

"Let's ask Alicia," my dad suggests. I groan and get off the bed before I hear, "You're right! Alicia, honey! Could you come for a minute?" My mom asks.

"Be right down!" I call out. The thing is, I always tell my parents to call me Ally, but they never do.

I walk down a see Ashley in a blue flowing dress, that's covered in sparkles. The top piece is a sky blue and the bottom is blue with pink stripes. Everything is covered in glitter. In my opinion, to much sparkle. But of course, I could never say that.

"Well, are you gonna answer or stand there and catch flies?" Ashley asks in a rude tone. Ashley was always rude to me. The only time she was nice, was when Austin was around.

"Ashley! Be nice!" My mother scolded. Ashley just scowled and turned back to me waiting for my answer.

"It looks lovely," I answer in a bored tone. I walk out of the dinning room and head to the T.V room. I sit on the couch and turn on the T.V

Entertainment news on on, so I just watched it. My dad came in a second later with a smile on his face. He wants something...

"Alicia, honey, you know daddy has a big award show tomorrow and-" I cut him off knowing what he wants.

"And you want me to iron your clothes, but wash them first," I say finishing for him

"Yes, thanks Alicia,"

"Please call me Ally,"

"Yeah, yeah," he says before walking out of the room.

I turn towards the T.V and who'son shocks me. It's Austin Moon. The Austin Moon. The Austin Moon that I dated. The one I could never get off my mind. I turn the volume up and listen intently.

"So, Austin, who's the lucky girl?"

"Well, actually no one. But there is this one girl I could never get off my mind. We dated and broke up. It was the biggest mistake of my life to end it with her," he admits.

"Awww, well now you can get who ever you want,"

"I don't want anyone. I just want her,"

"What's her name?"

"Alicia Dawson, Ally for short."

"She's from your home town in Miami, right?"

"Yes,"

"Maybe you'll catch her on your national tour there in a couple days,"

"Maybe,"

"Well that's all the time we have for today folks. Give it up for Austin Moon, everybody!" The whole audience cheered while he waved and smiled at the crowd. "Thanks everybody for coming out! Have a good night and remember Austin has his first national tour in Miami in a few days!"

I switched off the T.V and smiled to myself. My thoughts all surrounded one person. And the one thought I had now is, 'He remember's me'

Review? That would mean a lot :)
