Mornings with my mother are never good and right now, eating breakfast in the dining table with her is proving to be one of the most uncomfortable situations that I've been in. Food prepared by the chef in the kitchen were piled up on the table.
"Mother, isn't there too much food?" I asked while cutting my hashbrown.
"Nonsense! This is the first breakfast we had together since a long time ago," she said as she happily munched on her souffle.
"It's just breakfast Mom. I could live with just a two pieces of pancake and a sausage from McDonald's," I said.
My mom looked at me sternly and said, "Just eat, Isabella."
I finished my food and got up from my seat. I was about to walk away when I remembered that I would probably see Nate at school today. I'm still a bit hurt about th things he said and I just didn't want to see him.
I sat again ang looked at my mom.
"Mom, you have to call off the engagement," I said.
"Excuse me?" she asked, clearly frazzled.
I hesitated this time and hung my head. "You have to call off the engagement, Mom."
"It's been decided," my mom said and continued eating.
"No, Mom. It's fine if I'm the only one affected but Nate is too," I pleaded. "Mom, please."
"Isabella, for the last time I'm telling you no," she said and banged her palm on the table causing me to let out a gasp.
"Mom... just please," I pleaded again, looking her straight in the eye.
"It's your duty," she said. "If you weren't being so selfish, this conversation would be over by now. Why can't you be more like your sister?!"
Silence surrounded us and I looked at her with tears in my eyes.
"I didn't want to be a princess, Mom," I said. "And I sure as hell didn't want to be the next in line."
"You were born a princess so just live with it and about being next in line, if you didn't want to be, then why did you do what you did ten years ago?!" she replied.
"I told you it was an accident!" I screamed.
"Yes it was but it was still your fault," she screamed back at me. "If you hadn't brought her outside the walls, she would still be here!"
I just looked at her and walked away.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"I'm going for a drive," I answered.
"How about school?" she asked again.
"I don't know if I'll go," I said and walked to the front door and shut it loudly.
I was crying while walking to my car. I drove and drove all over the city till it was lunch time. I decided that I didn't have any more places to go so I just drove to school. I saw Nate's car parked there and felt my heart clench.
I got down my car and clutched my bag, walking toward the cafeteria. I spotted Cassie sitting on a table with some of our friends and I sat with them.
