Wales

It was the day that I was going to go to Wales. I was completely over excited, but I assured everyone that I would miss them. I couldn't wait to get going, but the train didn't arrive for another hour, and it doesn't take that long to get to the station. I was surprised that Mike and Gina were letting me go on my own, but I didn't ask them why, in case they changed their minds.

I had been in frequent contact with Amelia since I met her, and she had sent me lots of photos of the bridesmaid dresses. I usually hate dresses and skirts, and I was certain that I was going to be uncomfortable, but I really liked them. They were sky blue and had small gemstones around the top. She'd also sent me photos of her in her dress, and she looked beautiful. It still amazed me that she was younger than me. When I showed some of the photos to Elektra, Tee, Carmen and Lily, they said that she looked like my twin.

Finally Mike drove me to the station and he said goodbye. The last thing he said to me was that I should try very hard not to mess things up, because this could be a great opportunity. Suddenly the feeling of dread swept over me again. I didn't want to be taken away from the dumping ground, but everyone seemed to think that I would become part of Dad's family again.

When I arrived in Llanfair after the four hour journey, I was greeted by dad, Marie and Amelia. All I heard as I got off the train was a massive squeal, and then I had been suffocated in a hug. Amelia let go and I saw Marie smiling at us, and my dad came over and hugged me too. That was quite weird. I hadn't actually touched him for about fifteen years.

We went back to their house after that, and I saw why Amelia had wanted me to come and see it. It was amazing. It was modern, but it had a slightly classical look about it too. Inside, the furniture was all incredibly well placed, and I could tell that it had all been cleaned recently. Amelia took me on a long and comprehensive tour of the house, and I discovered that they had several spare bedrooms, one of which I would be staying in.

It was a great room, and it was decorated in a very similar way to my one at Elm Tree House. I stood at one end of the room, which was all a massive window, and looked at the view. It was stunning. They had a massive garden which was all colourful, and there was a fountain. Beyond the garden there was a massive landscape, and I felt like I never wanted to leave that spot.

Marie called me for tea and I walked down stairs. She had made dairy free just for me. I felt like this was more of a family than I had ever had. The next day, it was planned that I would go into town with Amelia to see what there was to see. We had another great day, and when she discovered that I hadn't brought any money with me she decided to buy me and all of my friends gifts. I had to text Rick to ask if he could email me some photos of everyone to show to her, because I only had pictures of a few of them on my phone.

Throughout the time that I stayed with dad and Marie I was never seen as less important that Amelia. That was a completely new experience for me. Even though Mike and Gina treated all of us the same, it felt different when there were only two kids. I loved the feeling that I was a true part of the family, and I wondered if that was what most families were like.

I was really looking forward to the wedding, and I actually couldn't wait to try in the dress. Luckily I didn't have to wait the full two days because there was the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. That was great. I'd never realised how much effort was put into weddings, but it was fun to be part of the proceedings.

The dress was as uncomfortable as I had imagined, but I was ok with it. It was weird when I put on the shoes, because I'm so used to wearing daps, but I loved it all the same. When me and Amelia had our hair the same way, and I was wearing makeup to match hers, we looked pretty much identical.

Even the time before the wedding didn't give me any hint of what was about to happen. I don't know if the plan was already in place back then, but I have always hoped that it wasn't my fault.

Author's Note: Sorry, that was a bit rubbish, but I wanted a chapter before the wedding, but I didn't have much to put in it…. Thanks for reading and please review and be nice ;)
