Chapter 10: Meeting again

A few days have passed since the argument. Lizzie was washing the windows when suddenly she remembered that it was her mother and fathers anniversary. Lizzie went into the sitting room to tell her stepmother she would be right back.

"I have to go to the cemetery" said Lizzie as she ran into the sitting room.

"For what?" asked the stepmother looking up from her book.

"its my parents anniversary and I miss them" said Lizzie with hope and sadness in her voice.

"Fine but when you get back you have more chores to do" said the stepmother as she began reading her book once again.

Lizzie went to the Oak Grove Cemetery.

"Papa, Mama I can't believe I forgot" said Lizzie as she laid the flowers on the grave.

"I miss you so much I wish you were still here" said Lizzie as tears fell on the grave stone.

As Lizzie cried she remembered when her father would tell her how he meet her mother…

"Papa would you tell the story about how you meet mother?" asked little Lizzie as she was looking at a picture of her mother.

Andrew picked up Lizzie and sat her on his lap and told her the story.

"It was about ten years ago when I was on a business trip. I was at the bank that I owned, when your mother came in it was love at first site" said Andrew to his little princess.

"A year later we were married" said Andrew as he smiled at his little princess.

Lizzie always loved to here this story it was one of her favorites. Lizzie hardly remember her mother but when her father told her this story and many more, she new she would always remember her through the story's her father told her. It was starting to rain when Lizzie came out of the flashback.

"Oh just great" said Lizzie as she ran out of the cemetery to go home.

The stepmother was right when Lizzie got home she would have a lot to do.When she got home the house was a wreck.

"What happened!" asked Lizzie as she came through the door and saw the mess.

"I was looking for my brush,and you know I have to brush my hair fifty times a day" said Emma as she walked into the hall.

"Well did you ever think about cleaning it up?" asked Lizzie as she gave Emma a you should have cleaned it up look.

"No that's your job" said Kate with a laugh.

"Why I aout to…" started Lizzie as she walked toward her stepsisters.

"Mother Lizzie is threatening us!" yelled Kate as she looked at Lizzie.

Abby ran into the room and walked up to Lizzie.

"Lizzie you know better then that, say you are sorry now!" commanded the stepmother as she was a few inches from her face.

"Sorry" said Lizzie rolling her eyes, and putting her hands on her hips.

"Now clean this up" said the stepmother, then she said "Come on girls lets leave Cinderella here to clean this up" as her and her daughters left the room.

As they left the room Kate and Emma turned there heads up and threw there hair back and walked out like they were much better then Lizzie.

Lizzie sank to her knees looking at the mess her step family had made.Lizzie was up all night cleaning the house. But by the time she got to bed it was five in the morning. As Lizzie was starting to drift off to sleep the clock began to chime.

"No I just got to bed!" wined Lizzie as she rolled over and laid there for a few minuets.

It was a very long day for Lizzie she was very tired she hadn't got a lot of sleep because her step family couldn't clean up after them self's she always had to do that.

"Whats wrong with you?" asked Kate as she and Emma came into the kitchen,sitting down at the table with there cups of coffiee.

"I'm tired because I had to clean up the whole house last night, because someone couldn't find their hair brush.By the way where was your brush?"asked Lizzie as she faced her stepsisters.

"It was on my vanity in my room" said Emma very sweetly.

Lizzie started to become very agitated.

"What ever just next time think before you act" said Lizzie as her hands went into fist and left the room.

"Where are you going are mother needs to see you" said Emma turning around to face the door where Lizzie stood.

"Fine I"ll go see what she wants" said Lizzie as she headed for the sitting room.

"You wanted to see me"asked Lizzie as she came into the sitting room standing there waiting for orders.

"Yes I need you to run to the market to pick some stuff up" said the stepmother handing Lizzie a lists of thing's to get.

Lizzie left the house and went to Sargent's Market.As she was entering the market she saw Damien looking at the vegetables.

"Damien" yelled Lizzie as she went over to him and gave him a hug.

"I've missed you" said Damien as he took Lizzie in his arms.

"And I've missed you to, but I can't talk long I have to get home soon or my stepmother will get furores" said Lizzie as she looked at Damien with sadness.

"Don't worry we won't talk long" said Damien as he moved his mouth towards hers.

Just as they where about to kiss the stepmother saw them as she entered the market.

"Lizzie! I told you you could never to see him again!" said the stepmother coming up to them.

"Mrs. Borden nice to see you" said Damien sarcastically as he put his hat on.

"Lizzie go get in the buggy now,I will decide your punishment when we get home!" said the stepmother looking at Lizzie with haytried.

"I'm so sorry but I have to go" said Lizzie as she started walking away.

But before she got far Damien took her hand and pulled her back in his arms. He was about to kiss her but the stepmother had other plans,she pulled her from the store and told her to get in the buggy.

"Just wait till we get home" said the stepmother as she got into the buggy.

As Lizzie looked at the store tears started running down her face and saw Damien standing there.As she continued to look at him she saw him mouth the words I love you and she did the same.She wouldn't get to see Damien for a very long time. She may never get to see him again if her stepmother had her way.
