Perfect

My hardship

HAZEL'S POV

As usual I woke up at 5am.school starts at 6:50. I did my morning routine, as usual. I went down the stairs and greeted my father who just gave me a nod. I sat down and as usual my brother came late for breakfast making father angry. If you are wondering about my mother, she had passed away when I was 8 and my brother 10. Yeah we have only 2 years difference. We get along well despite our differences. I am addressed as the 'perfect' child. While my brother is a disgrace. He wanted to become an Idol. So he went to a academy specialized for it. As you may have already guessed my father and my older brother is on bad terms. While I am doing as my father wants me to.

I looked at the time. I had only 15 more minutes. I hurry and get up to leave only to be stopped by my father.

Father: Come home early. I want you to join me at a party.

Me:Yes father.

My brother got up from his seat as soon as I finished my sentence.

Father: Harry.

Harry: Yes father?

Father: I want you to join in as well.

Both me and my brother's eyes widen at my fathers word.

My brother doesn't say anything.

Father: I want an answer Harry.

Harry: ..... Yes father.

In the end he also had to agree.

*Time skip, lunch break*

I sat down at my usual table with my group of 'friends'. I put the quotient mark cuz they aren't really close, just a bunch if people I hang out with. It's different people every week. I am that one person who gets along with everyone. Not only that, I'm popular and good looking too. And I hate both of  those things. I'm pretty sure most of you guys think I'm an ungrateful brat or something. But I'm telling you. Good looking, good grades, kind heart. Those are the three factors for trouble. I've been used by a lot of people. And yet I still get hurt, I'm still the one who is used, hated. Well anyway I have one friend in particular I'm close to. She's my best friend. Her name is Lily White. She's everything I wish I could be. She is already a trainee to be an idol and she has a great family. They are so supportive of her. Although she has it all I'm not jealous if her at all. Why? Cuz she is my best friend. And I'm happy for her. Or so I thought she was my best friend......

-Later that day-

I came home early as my father had requested. I hurried to my room and walked into my closet to choose an outfit for the party.

I picked a red dress(picture above) and layed it down on my bed before going inside the bathroom and taking a bath. After the bath I did my hair and makeup (picture below)

I put on a light makeup since that's what my father prefers.

And a maid came to do my hair as requested by my father. (picture above)

- Time skip, at the party-

My brother and father wore tuxedos with matching ties. The ties and my dress colour matched. My father look a bit more excited today. For some reason it made me very nervous. As my father kept in introducing us a man who looked quite different from the rest approached us. He looked much more rich and younger than the rest. I'm assuming he's the host.

??? : Ahh Mr. Snow. Glad to see that you made it.

Father: Of course. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Both of hem chuckled a bit.

??? : And are these your children?

The man asked

Father: Yes. This is Hazel.

He said pointing at me

Father: And this is Harry

He said pointing at my brother.

??? : I see.

He eyes suddenly widened as if he remembered something.

??? : My deepest apology. I haven't even introduced myself. My name is....

What do you mean?

HAZEL'S POV

??? :My name is Alex Anderson. Nice to meet you Hazel

He took out his hand as if asking for my hand. I put my palm in his which he held gently and kissed the back of my hand. Quite shocked by his actions I widened my eyes. My brother glares at Mr. Anderson

Mr. Anderson: And nice to meet you too Harry.

My brother nods at what he had said.

Father: Hazel, I hope you get along with Alex here since the both of you are gonna get married.

Both my brother and my eyes widen at what our father has just said.

Harry: Excuse me?!

He asked a bit offended

Harry:Not to be rude but father I think I deserved to know this before hand.

Father: I think so not. You don't even bother with the family business. So I don't see a reason why I should tell you about this.

Harry: But she is still my baby sister.

Father: She isn't a baby, she is 18.

Harry: But-

Before he can continue I hold his hand and lock my eyes with him begging him to stop. He sighed and turn around to face me. Alex stood there with an amused face.

Father: Now I would like to go and meet Alex's father, we still have some business to finish.

Hazel: Understood father.

Just before he left he turned around to give my brother a warning look to not create trouble. I sigh and look at Alex and then to my brother Harry. Harry was glaring at Alex as Alex just sipped his glass of red wine that I just noticed in his hand.

Hazel: So...

Both men raised an eyebrow at me. I look at Alex then I start speaking.

Hazel: Since both of us are getting married-

Harry: What?! Your just gonna let that old geezer do everything he wants?!

He speaks almost shouting. I look around there are a few eyes on us. Not wanting to gain too much attention I grab my brother's hand and dragging him out while giving Alex a signal to follow me.

-Outside-

Harry: For crying out loud! Hazel how could you let that, that bastard do this to you?!

Hazel: That "Bastard" is our father.

Harry: Father my foot. He's literally controlling your life. And now he's controlling your future too?! What about how you feel? Don't you have someone you like too?

Hazel:I know your concerned but, this is better than having to deal with fake plastic Barbie dolls. And No I don't have anyone I like.Most of them are just A**holes.

Harry: Young lady you do not curse.

He said sternly.

Hazel: And it's non of your concern if I curse or freaking suicide.

I reply gritting my teeth. My brother's eyes widen along with Alex's.

Alex: What do you mean suicide? Don't think like that!

Hazel: Stay out of this..

Alex:No I won't. Your my future wife and I won't let anything happen to you!

I scoff

Hazel: As if

I roll my eyes.

END OF HAZEL'S POV

HARRY'S POV

I stood there frozen as Alex and Hazel argued. "Suicide"? Why would she think of that? Has life for her been that bad? Why did I not notice her pain? Am I that bad of a brother?

As I was lost in my thoughts Hazel and Alex stop arguing since the notices my quietness.

Hazel: Harry? Harry? Harry?! HARRY!!

She shouts gaining my attention. I turn to her.

Harry: Yeah?

Hazel: What's wrong?

Harry: Nothing.

Hazel: Ok

Harry: Hazel...

She looks up to me as she's a head shorter than me.

Harry: Uhm.. I'm sorry. I may not have been the best brother for you and-

Before I could continue she puts her tiny hands on my waist hugging me. After a long time I felt the feeling of love and comfort. I realized even if our mother is not here, I still have Hazel the younger version of our mom. I smile as I felt a tear drop down my chin and into her head.

Hazel: Why are you crying brother?

"Brother".. She hasn't called me that after our mom's death. I cry harder. She tear up seeing my tears.

Harry: No don't cry.

I smile a little through my tears.

Hazel: I won't stop crying until you tell me the reason for your tears.

I chuckle.

Harry: Ok, ok, Now stop crying or your makeup will be ruined.

She giggled.

Harry: I just remembered about out mom....

Her smile dropped.

Harry: And how you look so much like her. She smile sadly, most probably thinking about our mom's death. Alex look at me with concern.

END OF HARRY'S POV
