Rose and Mum

Alone in my bedroom with nothing much to do I watched as the maid poored a cup of tea for me. I smiled at her as she finished. Andrew had gone out with his dad leaving me here in this horride household. 

I dreaded the fact that I had to spend my afternoon with Cassandra and my awful mother in law. Who knows what they had in store for me.

Just then my phone rang and the caller ID showed Rose my little sis.

"Happy almost anniversary..." Rose said in a sing-song voice.

"Thank you." I chuckled.

 "So how are things going over there with your horride in-laws."

"Horride in-laws, I quite like how that sounds." I said and could hear Rose laugh.

"You don't have to worry about them anymore cause I have a suprise for you."

"Really? What is it?"

"Go outside.."

"Go outside where?."

"Go outside the house silly."

"What? Why?"

"Because of the suprise. Duh.." Rose said like I was stupid.

I got down from the bed and made my way downstairs. I went outside the house but didn't see any thing. I was confused I called Rose but she wasn't answering. Did I just get pranked by my little sister. Absolutely not funny I thought with a frown. But then my phone rang again. It was Rose.

"Really funny Rose."

"Just shut up and turn around loser." Rose said and I turned around to see a car arriving at the Miners mansion.

It stopped right in front of me but I couldn't see anything through the tinted glasses. But when those glasses where winned down I saw Rose in the car with a smirk on her face. God you got to be kidding me. My sister, my best friend my biggest supporter, my partner in crime, my everything was here.

"I can't believe your here." I said as I hugged her tightly.

"You really didn't think that I'll leave you all alone with those horrible Miners did you?" She said with raised eyebrows.

Rose was the better of both of us. She was the strong one the smart one, the bold one everything I did she could better. And I love her so..much I couldn't tell you.

She was a cheerful, kind, beautiful and bold with a heart of gold. She had long, dark hair, soft brown eyes and a gentle smile that lit up any room. She was confident in her abilities and never hesitated to take on a challenge. She was kind to everyone she met, always willing to lend a helping hand. She was strong and never backed down from a fight. She's my a beacon of light in this dark world.

 "Okay. I know you love your sister but I'm here to." I heard someone say. The voice all too familiar.

I was so happy with the fact my sister was here I didn't even realise that she didn't come alone. Standing next to the car was my mum. My beautiful mother.

"Mum." I called out as I walked towards her. I hugged her so tightly inhaling her sweet scent. She smelt like home. Not mine and Andrew's home but the home I grew up in.

 "I thought you weren't coming."

 "And miss my darling's anniversary. Never." My mum said with a smile. "And also Andrew was quite convincing over the phone." She added.

"True." Rose said in agreement with mum. So this was Andrew's doing, Even when I think I couldn't love him any more he comes up with more ways for me to love him more.

"Come on let's go inside. The maids will get the bags." I told Rose and my mum.

We walked inside and was immediately greeted my mother in law Elena and Cassandra. 

 "Great. One Gibson wasn't enough now we have a house full of them." Cassandra said with a look of irritation on her face.

 "Agg... Sarah I totally forgot you had a bitch living here." Rose resorted.

 "How dare you!!." Casandra shouted.

 "Rose!!. That's no way to talk to our hosts." My mum told Rose. Rose responded by rolling hers eyes.

"That's no way for them to treat their guests either." Rose murmured.

"Julia didn't you teach your daughter any manners. How dare she talk to my Cassandra that way. She needs to apologise immediately!!" Elena said to my mum.

I turned and looked pleadingly at Rose I really didn't need any trouble and I knew Elena and Cassandra only wanted trouble.

Rose grunted in annoyance but finally gave in.

"I'm sorry Cassandra. You definitely didn't deserve to be called a bitch." Rose said with gritted teeth.

 "You call that an apology?" Cassandra scoffed.

That was when I decided to intervene.

"My sister is absolutely sorry Cassandra she didn't mean what she said. It had been a long flight so you should understand that they are both really tired." I said and immediately lead the way to the stairs without waiting for a reply. Rose and mum where right behind me.

I lead them both to one of the guestrooms. Immediately we walked in Rose ran towards the bed and collapsed on it.

"Agg... Your in-laws are so frustrating." Rose said.

"Shh... At least let me close the door first before you start insulting our hosts." My mum said with a laugh. Wasn't she suppose to be the mature one here? You know, the one telling us to respect our elders and shit.

"Mum. Rose." I called and got their attentions immediately. "I need you guys to be on your best behaviours this year please. You know all the Miners want is a chance for them to say we did something absolutely wrong and attack us for it."

 "We know. They're horrible people. Oh...except for Andrew his great." Rose said and I agreed.

"We'll be fine darling everything will be alright. Don't stress yourself to much." My mum reassured. She was always the optimistic type, who thought everything would always end up right.  I looked into her beautiful blue eyes and hoped it would be true. That everything would be fine but my sister had to crush my hopes immediately.

"Yeah right." Rose said sarcastically.

Both I and my mum turned to look at her.

 "What? Don't look at me like that, you know I'm right."

My mum and I both ignored her.

"Mum. Let's just go over too your own room." I told my mum.

"Why? I don't mind sharing one with Rose." My mum replied. 

I was about to agree to it when Rose refused saying she wanted her own space. 

"So you have a problem staying with me now?" My mum asked astonished by the fact that Rose didn't want her staying in the same room with her.

"No. Offcourse not mum. I'm just use to having my own space. I don't see why that's a problem."

"Your right. It's not a problem. Sarah darling, please take me to my own room." My mum said and immediately walked out.

 "Mum. Mum! Come on mum.. alright come back we'll share the room I'm sorry." Rose begged. But my mum was long gone.

"I can't believe you." I said to Rose.

 "What? I've already spent a whole flight with her, now you want me to stay the entire week with her as well. In the same room. No way."

I laugh. "Your so stupid. Give me a hug." I gave Rose a quick hug before running out of the room to catch up with my mum.

I was so happy they were here. But at the same time I felt sad for them, Cause the Miners always found new ways to humiliate my family.  Deep down I wish they didn't come. I could handle the Miners awfulness but I couldn't stand it when they went after my family.
