Katie's POV
December 17th 2013

"And we'll never be ROYALS!" I sang as I walked up the drive way with my best friend Ashley.
"Katie how many time do I have to tell you... you cant sing" Ash said trying to keep a straight face and not laugh at me.

"Ouch that stings" I said while bringing my hand to my heart which just made us both smile.
"Well we both know that one day I'm going to be an amaz-bubbles singer!" I continued.
"In your next life maybe" Ash said bursting my bubble and making us both laugh while we walked through the front door.

My house was quite small, it was one story with three bedrooms and one bathroom but it never really fazed me because my two young sisters shared a room which meant i get a room to myself, granted its the smallest room of the house but I don't really mind. My house is in a small suburb of Wellington, New Zealand. The suburb is called Wainuiomata, I know stupid name.

"Hi Kitty Kat!" My dad yelled from the kitchen but before I could answer here appeared in the lounge room with my youngest sister hot on his heels.
"Oh hey Ash! Welcome home" my dad said with a goofy grin on his face. Ashley's family lived about five minutes away but there is eight kids in her family so she spends most of her time at my house.

"Hey dad, where's mum? she was here when I went to pick up Ash." I turned around after taking my shoes off to see a very awkward smile on my dads face.
"Oh u-uh s-she went out. she had some business to take care of." Something about what he just said seemed very weird but I just shrugged it off and turned towards the hall but before I even got half way down the hall my dad called me back into the kitchen where he was now mixing some kind of sauce for dinner.

"What's up dad?"
"Uh have you finished your Christmas shopping yet?" He asked me with his awkward smile returning.
"Um no not yet I still have a few presents to buy, why are you asking?" The whole time I talked his smile either looked forced or really awkward, What is up with him today...
"Well I was thinking that you and Ash could go shopping tomorrow and I'll give you my card because I need you to buy something for your mother from me." well that's really strange.
"sure dad" I gave him my best and most reassuring smile I could manage and walked to my room.

Once I got to my small and slightly messy room at the end of the hall I saw Ash playing on my phone that I forgot I asked her to hold.
"What did your dad want?" she asked not really paying attention
"Well he wants us to go shopping tomorrow and buy something for mum while were there." her eyes snapped up to me so fast it almost looked demonic. I didn't even know she could move that fast.
"Are you kidding me! are you for real! he never wants us spending money or going shopping. now that I think about it that's kinda weird because we both earn our own money and were teenage girls how does he expect us not to spend all our money" wow she really needs to stop thinking out loud.

I sighed and flopped on to my bed next to her not even sure how to reply to what she had just said.

"something about today feels oddly different..."
"Katie that's just because your so use to your life pulled together and perfect, its like as soon as someone pulls on one loose strand you feel like your whole world is going to unravel." wow this girl knows me way to well.

"Trust me Katie everything is fine and your fine, I promise. So stop worrying."

"I guess your right."
