Shauna's Diary - part 1.
"Dear diary
It passed almoust a month since mother passed away. Still I'm not aware she's gone. Every time I wake up the first thought is that all was just a bad dream. But then I see this empty, aseptic walls of this sterile white room, and I know it's not a dream. It's my reality nightmare. We are living in Belladonna Cove now. Still remembering the day after mother died when social worker camed and told us we're going to live at our aunt's house now, since she is our only living relative (except grandpa who is in nursing home) and while that was our mother's last will. I'm still wondering why??? Claudia is just like I was remembering her; cold, selfcentered and arrogant. Her house is like her mirror reflection; cold. Everything is white and black, every thing has it's own place, everything is so clean that I'm affraid to breathe while I don't want to pollute that perfect air; haha. Sure, aunt Claudia isn't responsible for that cause she could broke a nail or something. She have a maid which pays that stupid of her boyfriend. But I will be back on him later. You know, aunt is a dancer, and she earn a lot of money. But still she have a sponsor. I hate her. I can believe we're related. My mother always talked nice things about her, but, I don't see them. I know she is horrified that she has three kids to think about now. Not that I'm pleased with that situation either; I wanted to stay in mother's house at Pleasantville and took custody under Emma and Tommy but authorities decided I'm too young and I must wait until 18. Mother's best friend Anne wanted to adopt us but authorities wasn't right with that either. Cause she has a full part job, divorced, and who will take care of us? Like here would be bether!
But, I guess mother thought about aunt's money and decided it will be bether for us. As if!
Even the sky cries here now. Summer is almoust over and I found out that Belladonna Cove is really rainy and cold place, very populated with big buildings and lot of smog what makes me dislike it even more. Sure, that's not all I should think about; the new school year is approaching and I should decide what to do with my school. If I would have to change the school...I will go nutz. But, I still have no idea how to travel each day for few hours there and back if I have to stay in this sucking place!
And another thing that bugs me, is my boyfriend, Evan. We haven't seen each other from the funeral. He is so distant lately. I know that bearing with difficulties isn't the part of his domain but, what the heck, my mother passed away;I expect little more attention from his side, little comfort and everything else that people in love do when their partner is suffering. I call him every day and he is always busy. I really started to think that something's wrong. Even if I know he's little bit strange in heavy situations and he don't react always in the way how he should and how the others are expecting, cause I know him very well, we're together almoust for a year and I need him so much right now, doesn't he see that? I'm getting little bit tired of need to draw him everything.
Oh, I almoust forgot what that creep of Claudia's boyfriend had proposed the other day during our so called "family dinner" or bether-burned spaghetti since that is the only meal that Claudia knows how to cook (or burn); a boarding school for girls! Can you believe it? In that condition, Tommy would have to go in the boarding school for the boys but that two schools are separated like a six hours away, with a car! And what about Emma? I surely have no intention of leaving her with those two creeps here. And I surely don't want to separate from Tommy; he's pain in the ass but he's my brother, and I know that he and Emma need me right now. They are my only family and I have no intentions to separate from them. That I told to that creep, well, not in such nice way. For further, I decided to eat in my room.
At least they could be less obvious and just tell us we're not welcome here. That creep with that disgusting face and irritating, forced smile just waits for us to go upstairs so he can grab Claudia and drag her into the sleeping room. Not she's resisting, though...
However, Claudia don't do much of the parent figure. She tries sometimes to order us to do something but usually we don't listen. Tommy listen her sometimes though, cause she bought him a new pc "for his summer homework project" but all he's doing is playing some stupid games so I have to intervene and make him to do that stupid homework thing.
And when I don't do that, I spend time with Emma. She still don't understand where mommy is and why she's not coming back. So when she ask me something about it, I try to change the subject; otherless I will start to cry.
You know mom, we spent so much time together arguing about stupid things and I was so difficult and brassy whole the time, and even when we took that picture I was so mad at you cause you forced me to wear that stupid dress but at the end you made me smile about it, cause you always knew how to deal with me...and I was not prepared that you will leave so soon while I have so much things to tell you and to pass on with you...and even I haven't told you that I love you...I can write anymore...I miss you so much."

Forced To Change
As I said, rising of three children is not that easy. I tried to do my best but everytime I tried to do something, Shauna appears and just ruin eveything. She is so difficult, so angry, sometimes I ask my self from where all that anger is coming from. Sometimes I even think that she hates me. She just don't want me to get close to Tommy and Emma. Few days before i prepared a dinner for all of us cause I'm aware that children are missing that family atmosphere, but it seemed that they aren't so pleased with that. Johnny really had made an effort and talked with mayor of Strangetown and he promissed to help him to get Shauna in one of the best boarding schools for girls there. And how she reacted on that, my God! She start screaming about how obviously we want to get rid of them and that she have no intentions to separate from her family or leaving Emma with creeps like us. I was shocked. I know she's going throught the bad period but she has no rights to act like that towards her benefactorers. If there weren't us, they would be in orphanage now. That ungrateful kids!
"Have you seen that? What should we do?" sighed I after the kids left the table.
"We should be more strictly to her. She doesn't have a crumb of a gratitude. I wanted to send her to best boarding school and she acts like that. Unbelievable!"
"Calm down, they lost their mother recently..."
"That's not an excuse. We are the best guardians they can have, we want to send them to the best schools..."
"Cause we want to get rid of them..." whispered I. "And that's maybe awful but..."
"No. We want to continue with our lifes. And we want to give them top education. That is not awful. That is better for all of us."
"I don't know..."
"Believe me..." Johnny stood up and took my hand. I knewed what he wants but I wasn't in mood.
"Honey, not now...I have to clean up the kitchen..."
"You really are becoming a desperate housewife." said he nervous and pushed me away. I put myself together immediately finding he is right, grateful for his in time warning.
"Ok, that was really a bullet! But you're right. We will send them to a boarding school. We must continue with our lifes. That's final."
" Come here beautiful, let me rip that chlotes of you! Uh, I like you when you are consistent to your opinions! You know I'm not attracted to desperate, fat housewives!"
"Oh, shut up and kiss me!"
Yes, that was the right decision. How could I even think about rising three kids? Obviously I was crazy. I have Johnny, I have my career, and this body needs a lot of practice to keep up this great shape...how could I doubt about it? I went to a gym with my best friend, Kayla, she was dancer too. I told her all about our plans with kids.
"Uh, Claudia..." started she. " Have you read the news recently?"
"No, I haven't got time to do that, all that struggling with that kids, hopefully all will be over soon, just have to find a nanny for Emma, or maybe I can send her in some boarding school too?"
"I think you should see the newspapers first."
"Why? Speak Kayla, why are you so mysterious? You're making me really nervous right now..."
"Newspapers are writing about your new...family. Some journalist called you; I will quote it; A cold hearted bitch who will surely find the way to get rid off the poor kids. And also, that you are so oriented on your career that you will samp over the dead bodies..."
Ok, that was really unexpected that I actually fell over the treadmill.
"The press are writing about it? How they dare! I must see it right now."
"We haven't finished our training..."
"Yes, we are! C'mon!"
It was just like Kayla said, black on white, facts how awful and cold hearted bitch am I and how I will do everything to get rid of poor orphans who are my only family left.
"Claudia Sommers, famous dancer and artist, becamed guardian of three beautiful children, after their mother passed away in terrible car accident. This beautiful starlet however, even didn't went to her sister's funeral, so what we are asking now is, will she finally put her career in a second place and dedicate herself to the poor children that are whole alone with no relatives left, or will she be forced to put her career in a second place after people found out how cold hearted woman she is? Our guess would be - a boarding school! Isn't that great way to get rid of the unwanted kids and smear the eyes of publicity with some discursive explanation how the boarding school is better for kids too? So what would be her next step; and I'm not thinking of the stage now!"
"I've seen this already." whispered Kayla.
"When?"
"Yesterday."
"It was in newspapers yesterday also? Uh, that stupid press! What do they want from me? I just want to live my life, to dance and to practice and that's all!"
"You should think about it before you becamed famous."
"Now you are judging me? Uh, I must go home and call my agent. See ya later!"
Of course, Rony,my agent, as always, told me that press has freedom of speech, and we can't do nothing about it. Also, he told that I usually look like cold and unreachable person, and after one of mine interviews where I had clearly announced that having a family isn't most important thing in my life and that career is mine priority, I had induced and opinion of cold harted bitch who will get rid of her sister's children. Sure, that wasn't publicity what somebody would wanted to get, and he advised me not to send childen in boarding schools. That wasn't the answer I wanted to hear.
"You can afford a bad publicity right now." said he.
"What are you talking about? Why? I'm most famous dancer in..."
"Who rises fast, fast will fall. You haven't been on your sister's funeral. You don't want to take care about her kids, your own flesh and blood. What do you think people will think about you?"
"I don't care for the people! And how do you mean, who rises fast, do you want to say I'm not talented?"
"You are skiping the subject. I'm just telling you that isn't smart thing to send those kids to boarding school right now. You are on cranky position right now; and people do matter cause they watch your every step. You're news of the day now, and I advise you to use it smart. You must be perfect guardian right now, to get rid of that cold-hearted-bitch captions. People can make you famous, but they can destroy you too."
He was very helpful. Right.
Regarding to our conversation, I took some time to think about it. There was no easy way to avoid that situation and that was drawing me mad. I decided to cook a dinner again, cause today some changes have to be done. Johnny camed soon after.
"What is my beauty doing right now? Cooking? Again? We could go out for a dinner..."
"Johnny, things are got little bit complicated. With boarding school and that.
"What do you mean?"
"Just read the newspapers. They call me cold-hearted bitch who will do anything to get rid of the children. I talked with Rony now, and he said I could not send them to boarding school right now."
"What? That is stupid!"
"No it's not stupid. It could ruin my career! Nobody loves cold hearted bitch! And my career means a lot to me, you know that. Please Johnny, we must wait for now with that boarding school, cause that can destroy me right now. Public is already mad at me cause I wasn't on my sister's funeral, this could be...the final droop."
"Who told them about boarding school? To journalists?"
"I don't know, they assumed I guess. I don't want afford them to tell that they were right. I will call kids for dinner now."
I didn't knew if Johnny was alright with that. We were so happy about continuing our lives normally. But I'm sure he understands this situation is just temporary. I called Tommy for dinner and then went to call Shauna. She was in dark, watching TV, angry again. I sighed.
"Sweetie...dinner is served."
"I'm not hungry."
"You don't have to eat much, but I made a new meal and I want to hear your opinion. And also, we must talk about something."
"Boarding school again?"
"Yes, kind off...but we have some new decisions for you kids. I think you will be happy with it."
Finally she stood up and started to pay attention.
"What is it?"
"I want to say it in front of your brother and you together. Wash your hands and come downstairs."
"So." I took a deep breathe. This wasn't that what I wanted to say. "We decided not to send you two to the boarding school. Sure, that are great boarding schools and you will lose great oportunity for your education, but, if you two want to stay here, we will inscribe you into the local school. I hope you're content with that. We wanted to give a chance to our family to succeed, and I hope you would give a try also. We are family, and we have to steak together. Right Johnny?"
"Right dear."
