Calvin’s expression eased up, after a brief pause, he responded.

“Well, <i>that’s </i>good to <i>hear</i><i>. </i>Still, <i>leaving </i><i>here </i><i>with </i><i>only one </i><i>suitcase</i><i>, </i>it <i>sends </i>a message <i>that </i>we never <i>purchased </i><i>anything </i><i>for </i><i>you </i><i>which </i><i>isn’t-</i>”
“You <i>haven’t </i><i>purchased </i><i>anything </i><i>for </i><i>me</i>.”
Calvin began to look exasperated.
“<i>Why </i><i>are </i><i>you </i><i>being </i><i>difficult</i><i>! </i><i>Are </i><i>you </i><i>trying </i><i>to </i><i>give </i><i>the </i><i>impression </i><i>that </i><i>your </i><i>parents </i><i>didn’t </i><i>take </i><i>care </i><i>of </i><i>you</i>!!”
I almostughed aloud. My days of lying about how loving you all are, was over.
<i>“</i><i>I’m </i><i>not </i><i>TRYING </i><i>to </i><i>do </i><i>anything </i><i>father</i><i>. </i><i>If </i><i>you </i><i>feel </i><i>you’ve </i><i>been </i><i>every </i><i>bit </i><i>the </i><i>adequate </i><i>and </i><i>loving </i><i>parent</i><i>, </i><i>then </i><i>by </i><i>all means</i><i>, </i><i>show </i><i>the </i><i>Christiansens</i>. <i>Show </i><i>them </i><i>the room </i><i>you </i><i>set </i><i>up </i>for <i>the </i><i>daughter </i><i>you </i><i>love </i>so <i>much</i><i>, </i><i>show </i><i>them </i><i>the </i><i>various </i><i>clothing </i><i>and </i><i>presents </i><i>you’ve </i><i>purchased </i><i>for </i><i>the </i><i>daughter </i><i>you </i><i>love </i><i>so </i><i>much</i>. <i>Tell </i><i>them </i><i>her </i><i>favorite </i><i>foods</i>, <i>movies</i>, <i>and </i>colors. <i>Tell </i><i>them </i><i>how </i><i>your </i><i>favorite </i><i>daughter </i><i>likes </i><i>to </i><i>celebrate </i><i>her </i><i>birthday </i><i>and </i><i>what </i><i>she </i><i>loves </i><i>to </i><i>do </i><i>during </i><i>St. </i><i>Merry’s </i><i>day</i><i>.</i>”
Calvin’s eyes widen, he’d realized he never did any of these things for me. He knew
absolutely nothing about his biological daughter. I smiled bitterly.
<i>“</i><i>Just </i><i>remember </i>to <i>switch </i><i>the </i><i>name </i><i>from </i><i>Olivia </i><i>to </i><i>Grd </i><i>and </i><i>you’ll </i><i>be </i><i>just </i><i>fine</i><i>.</i>”
I turned to leave; I no longer had an appetite. Calvin stalked out of the kitchen shortly
after.
The time was now 8:15am, I had just finished getting dressed and doing my hair. I didn’t have a lot of care products; I was d I purchased the few items I got yesterday. I didn’t know a lot about makeup, so I settled on a light pink blush and lip gloss. For my hair, I settled on a fishtail braid with a few strands of curly hair. Thankfully I had thick and long hair that didn’t require too much. The sundress fit me perfectly, I purchased a pair of light pink wedged heel shoes to with a deep pink flower at the toe opening.
I gave myself one more look in the mirror, hoping this would be good enough for my inws and fiancé.

At 8:35am Ma texted me to let me know they were 25 minutes away. I decided to make my way upstairs. As I pulled my old suitcase I could hear voices andughtering from the grand room. Everyone was woke. Looks like Jonathan stayed the night as well. As I made my way to the foyer, Sharon called out to me.
I stopped and turned slowly looking directly at her. Sharon’s eyes widen as she took a
closer look at me.
<i>“</i><i>Grd</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
<i>“</i><i>Yes</i>?”
Before she could finish her sentence, everyone began to walk into the hallway. My three brothers instantly stared in shock, they’d never seen me dressed nicely or in anything that wasn’t a hand–me–down. Cole was the first to speak.
<i>“</i><i>Wow </i><i>Grd</i><i>! </i><i>You </i><i>clean </i><i>up </i><i>nice</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
Brian scoffed.
“So, <i>she’s </i><i>wearing </i><i>a </i><i>dress</i><i>, </i><i>what’s the </i><i>big </i><i>deal</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
Cole rolled his eyes choosing not toment back at Brian. Noah was the next to speak.
<i>“</i><i>You </i><i>look </i><i>decent</i>. <i>Thank </i><i>you </i><i>for </i><i>not </i><i>embarrassing </i><i>us</i>.”
Dickhead.
Jonathan stared at me with furrowed brows but said nothing. Suddenly, Olivia walked
towards me with a fake smile on her face.
“<i>Oh </i><i>Grace</i>! <i>You </i><i>look </i>so <i>pretty</i>! <i>I’m </i>so <i>used </i><i>to </i><i>seeing </i><i>you </i><i>in </i><i>my </i><i>hand</i><i>–</i><i>me</i><i>–</i><i>downs</i>, <i>it’s </i><i>nice </i><i>to </i><i>see </i><i>you </i><i>in </i><i>something </i><i>that’s </i><i>yours</i>.”
This fuckin bitch! Any chance to throw a jab.
Suddenly, Brian and Jonathan began tough.
“<i>That’s </i><i>a </i><i>good </i><i>point </i><i>Livie</i><i>; </i><i>she </i>is <i>always </i><i>trying </i><i>to </i><i>be </i><i>like </i><i>you</i>. <i>Wearing </i><i>all </i><i>of </i><i>your </i><i>old and </i><i>out </i><i>of </i><i>seasoned </i><i>clothes</i><i>.</i>”

Brian continued tough until Noah shot him a re. But I just simply smiled.
