Noah was in the dining hall. Their house's dining hall was large like really large two crystal chandeliers with a long dining table his mother seated on one side his father on the opposite and him in between. It was an empty table no talk, no jokes, no how was your day son and Noah though he'd never admit it hated it. Should I bring up the marriage I have a girlfriend I'm not going to get married! Thought Noah.
Finally Noah broke the silence by clearing his throat and both his parents looked at him.
Noah: Mom and Papa I don't want to get married to Ava I have a girlfriend and you two know that.
Noah's voice was a little hesitant he didn't fear anyone except his parents.
Amanda Finn: Noah we talked about this yesterday and we told you you two will get married and that's final.
Noah: I have a girlfriend.
William Finn: Break up with her sheay be a McGuire but she's cheating on you.
Noah: No she's not.
Amanda Finn: Do you know how embarrassed we were when we saw the video.
Noah: What video?
Noah's Father took out his phone and slid it over to Noah. Noah picked up the phone and turned on the video his girlfriend kissing someone at a party.
Noah: What-Where the fuck did you get this?
Amanda Finn: Noah is this how you speak to your father?
Noah: Sorry mother.
William Finn: It's circling the internet of course when we saw it we were embarrassed it was your job to keep her from doing things like this we're going to be a spectacle A Finn's girlfriend seen kissing someone else?! Do you know how bad this is for our family reputation I say you break up with her tomorrow!
Amanda Finn: Your father's right You Will Get Married to Ava and you will learn to live under the same roof as her do you understand?
Noah: Yes mother.
Noah could never speak up when his mother and father used that tone he was powerless over it and he hated it. His father would hit him if he ever got a bad grade and sometimes gos mother wouldn't let him eat if he behaved badly but then a thought occured to him Maybe when I get married they won't treat me like they do now.
He looked down at the ring in his finger. Sapphires meaning loyalty. Across the city in the Gray house an overly exhausted Ava is doing the same.
