I slammed the door to the beach house shut as my mother's voice called out to me,

"Allison come back, let's talk about this!" but I ignored her, just like she'd ignored my feelings and put nana's Beachouse up for sale.

Why did it always have to be like this? why didn't she ever put my feelings into consideration when she was making decisions that affected our whole family? Tears began to well in my eyes when I looked back at our new beach house, it was tall white old and empty just like her and I could see why she jumped at the chance to buy it. I was happier spending summers with nana back in Maryville. we'd bake cookies and gossip about the latest scandals in town, it was a heavenly escape from all the pressure that was on me back home.

Mom was currently obsessed with my new baby sister Caroline and the classic Baker genes hadn't skipped her. she had carefully spun wisps of honey blonde hair and her eyes were the most enchanting shade of blue in nature. I loved spending time with my mom; cutting up magazines and binge-watching old black and white movies starring the dashingly handsome Rudolph Valentino. But unfortunately, Mom only has time for Callie now and she was my world but i was merely a part of her landscape. Dad was almost always abroad for work and was never home for long, he was the only person I could go to when mom and I were bickering, which was all the time now. The summer had barely even begun and I already wanted to lock myself in my room for all of eternity.
