"Emily! EMILY! Get up!" yelled Jamie, my four and a half year old sister. I groaned and opened my eyes, only to close them again immediately. "What?" I asked, grabbing the clock.
"Its only half past nine!" I cry. "You know that I sleep till eleven normally!"
Jamie sighed. "But Ewina's mawwyed! Mommy wanted me to get you!"
I shot bolt upright. "What?!" I yelled, jumping up. I run downstairs into the living room, Jamie following me, heart thumping like mad. "Wha-?" i begin, but just then Elena threw her arms around Emily's neck. "It happened! It happened, Emily! Arin asked me to marry him!"
I gape at her in astonishment, lost for words, while Elena released her. "He brought me to the beach at midnight." she sighed, while mom and dad watched her, trying to ignore Jamie, who was trying desperately to cling onto there arms. "And then got on his knees and said: "Elena, i love you. Will you marry me?" She and mom started to scream.
"Aaaagh!" they went, hugging each other, and I’m unsure of whether or not to join in. Obviously, Kevin had just dropped Elena off, and then she had rushed inside to tell everyone the news.
Try as i might, i felt burning jealousy in my chest. Elena, my little 20-year-old sister, getting married, while here i am, 23, living in my parents house, and never even able to hold onto a relationship for more then a year! She and Kevin, off on the beach, the dark waves breaking in the background...I can't stand it. But i hastily put a smile on my face while i hear Elena's babbling. "...and we're going to have the wedding," she pauses dramatically while mom watches her, looking spellbound almost. "on New Years Eve!!!!" she shrieks again, while mom joins in, crying and hugging. Suddenly, the mail comes. "Could you get that, Emily?" says mom, and i hurry away. There’s a few letters, and the very bottom one is [my heart nearly stops] a love letter, addressed to me. I stare at it, transfixed, then stuff it in my pocket and go back to the living room to give dad the mail, pretty numb. I'll open it in my bedroom with the door locked. Yes. There is no way that mom, dad, or Elena is going to find out about this...
