Today would be perfect. I am so happy. Matty will propose!! He has invited me to Riverside. I am so excited, I must look pretty for him. He doesn't know, I have already seen the ring. Cornelia was literally floating as she got ready for her date with Matt. She had put on a turquoise dress that perfectly complemented her dark complexion. She was wearing light makeup when she received the phone call she never expected. On the other end was the nurse from City Hospital. Cornelia couldn't process what she heard from the other end of the line, so she asked the nurse to repeat those dreadful words."Ms Von, Mr Clement has gotten into an accident. He is currently undergoing surgery at the City Hospital. Please come here as soon as possible.""I am on my way, " she said in shock, feeling her knees go weak. She was on the floor for a while, whispering to herself...... accident.... surgery. She didn't spend much time there. She quickly composed herself, put on a pair of shoes, got into her ca

Cornelia Mason was right!! Amryth is just the way I left it. Amryth's a small town forgotten by everyone outside of it, It stands still in time, and the people who live here go through the same cycles as well. They are born, they slack through school, find a girlfriend or boyfriend in high school, get married after graduation and then slack at their parents jobs everyday till they die. I know some wealthy outsiders view this kind of life as simple and idealistic..... but it's so far from that. "Dream Killer" that's what I call this town. Forcing every generation to live through the same lives again again and again...... with no way of escape. Getting out of Amryth was really hard both literally and metaphorically. This little dot of paradise was situated in middle of the fairy mountains, due to the difficult terrain there was no train connectivity and it was too small for an airport. The nearest train station was Charlottesville, from there it was a three hour drive to Amryth.

CORNELIA I have to do this. I need to face my family. I need to walk up those steps and knock on the door. This is what I came here for after all. I make my way up the porch stairs and ring the doorbell for someone to answer the door. No one answers after the first ring, so I ring it again..... I won't go away without talking to them today. Just as I was going to ring the doorbell for a third time, my mom answers the door. "What are u here for now?...... After all the shame you've bought our family.... how dare u show up on our doorstep!!!!" My mother has a knack for dramatics for sure. Afterall she had no problem asking me for money over these past few years. She had asked more.... again and again and again.... and I had always given up and gave it to her. Matty had always advised me to stop, to cut all contact with my family, but I guess a part of me still wanted their approval. Besides, I was worried how my siblings would be treated if I didn't give money to my parents.
