Recap
The last thought that formed in my mind before sleep took over was "What would Sarah have to say about all this?"
I guess that was more of a question. A question that I would surely get an answer to whether I liked it or not

Sarah's pov
Final exams finally ended today after lasting for over a week. I'm so glad! My classmates and I would unfortunately still be attending school as usual since the session had not come to an end yet
I don't hate school or anything, it's just that I don't get the point of us still going to school and attending classes. Like, hello we just finished final exams!!! It's just sounds odd to me
But something else was bothering me a lot more than having to still attend school after exams!!!... Something that included my family.
Let's take a recap of what happened so far that made me worried.
First, my mom and dad had a fight discussing strange thing I could not understand and they also became withdrawn. And for the past week my mom had been walking around looking dazed and usually get lost in her thoughts
I've lost count of the number of burnt offerings that she'd given us as food this past week!
Second, my brother acted wierd when I asked him what the cause of their strangeness was. He'd also been acting like he was agree with the whole world and been coming home extremely late
Next, My dad came home from work last week Tuesday... I think?... anyway he came home with all smiles, gave me a peck on the cheek and walked up the stairs to his and my mom's room. The problem was, few minutes later I heard him and my mom arguing but couldn't make out the words they said because their bedroom door was closed.
That same day, my brother came home from work looking like he had figuratively lost his only child. He walked straight to his room and didn't even come out for family dinner which was customary in our home. Even though dinner that day was real quiet and awkward
Also, I saw my mom and dad talking to my sister two days later and after they left I heard my sister crying in her room for hours. She didn't open the door when I knocked and asked what the matter was. Ever since that day she has been avoiding me for some reason.
Worse everyone in the house has been gloomy and has been avoiding me for some reason. I'm so confused! I need too find out what the matter with my family and soon!
For the period of my exams, I had forced these thoughts to the back of my mind in order to concentrate but now that I was done with that, they just came flowing back
So when I got home today and found the house empty, I was a bit sad at first but just shrugged off all those thoughts and went into the kitchen first, to get food inside me then headed upstairs because I had planned to just stay locked up in my room
I loved my family but right now I think needed a break for how toxic we had become as a family
Entering into my room, I sank into the bed with a sigh. Picking up my phone that I had literally abandoned for almost a month due to exams preparation and all, I scrolled through my phone messages, social media accounts messages and also my notifications.
Finding them too voluminous to actually try and respond to now, I decided to just play it safe and just check recent posts. I saw my classmates had already started posting celebratory photos on finishing their exams, I just smiled and liked their posts
After some time, I dropped my phone due to exhaustion and slept off feeling a bit better
Few hours later*******
"Sarah" I heard my mom's voice say while I felt someone tapping me... I'm guessing she is that someone
"Yes mom"I said in a groggy voice
"Come to the living room right now. Your dad and I have something to say to you" she said and walked out of my room
After taking a few minutes to compose myself because I was still very sleepy, I got up from bed and stressed from left to right, front to back all the while yawning
After the whole acrobatics, I felt a bit less drowsy and walked out of my room and headed to the living room
Taking a seat in front of my parents, after a few movement of uncomfortable quietness, I couldn't take it any longer and gave them expectant look
My dad cleared his throat making me focus my eyes on him
"So, Sarah you know who Daniel Morgan is right?" My dad asked
I looked between my mom and dad wondering why they would call me down by 10pm just to ask me if I knew Daniel Morgan, like, really? I could be having my beauty sleep right now. Anyway, I still answered the question wanting to find out where this was going.
"Yes I do, I guess?"
My dad gave a nod and my mom looked to the ground for some reason she had a look filled with guilt, in fact they both had the look. But my mom more than my dad.
"Well that's good Baby, well, why we called you is to inform you that you are getting married to him next week Saturday, that gives you at least ten days to prepare" he said and my mom nodded in agreement
I burst out laughing "that's a good one guys, almost got me there"
"Sarah we are not joking, you are getting married to him, we are lucky and thankful that his family agreed when he picked you out of all the options he had" My mom said in a small voice that sounded almost robotic to me
"WHAT!! HAVE YOU BOTH LOST IT?! YOU ARE TRYING TO TELL ME I AM TO GET MARRIED AT 18, I HAVE BARELY FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL!
WORSE, YOU WANT ME TO MARRY A BOY 2YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME AND HAVE ONLY SOME SPOKEN TO LIKE 2 TIMES? ARE HIS PARENTS MAD? IS HE MAD? WHAT BOY WANTS TO MARRY AT 16? IS THAT EVEN LEGAL?!! AND LASTLY WHAT THE HECK DO YOU MEAN LUCKY AND THANKFUL HE PICKED ME?!! " I replied literally screaming the whole time.
This is sooooooo not happening right now!!!
