Day 13: All's Well That Ends Well

I woke up bright and early. I did a bit of gardening and a neighbor bought my veggies and flowers though that surprised me. ~Sabrina

I think Sam's still asleep, but I don't know ~Sabrina
So Sabrina has no idea of my new look. I've been hiding this stuff in my backpack because I knew my parents wouldn't approve. I can finally be myself thanks to Sabrina. I hope she won't be mad. !Sam!

Sam: Mom and dad have had me under this strict image of rich snob goody goody two shoes. I've hated it. I can finally be myself thanks to you.

Sabrina: Well that's great, but what will mom and dad think whenever we get them to come over?

Sam:Well we'll find out sooner than later.

Sabrina: What do you mean? I never called them.

Sam: I did last night.

Sabrina: Oh no. What did you say?

Sam: I stood my ground that I wasn't going to move home and that they needed to give you a second chance. They're coming over today.

Sabrina: You choose now to change your look?

Sam: Maybe they'll see that you've allowed me to be me?

Sabrina: No they're going to think I had a bad influence on you. Oh what to do...

Sam:  It'll be okay. Just please back me up on this.

Sabrina: If I want you to stay here, which I do, then I have to back you up. I wish this new look would've waited, but it's okay. The fact that you feel that comfortable here and with me means a lot.

Sam: Thanks Sabrina. I was worried how you'd react.

Sabrina: I was just surprised since I had no idea. We'll get through this together.

Sam: Yes we will.

 

So my parents will be here soon and my sister looks goth. I'm quite nervous how things will go. ~Sabrina

 There's been no mention of my look by dad. I'm surprised. I'm sure he has to notice. It's quite a big difference. ~Sam

 Mom: This is a nice place you have here Sabrina.

Sabrina: Wow thanks mom. I've worked really hard the past, almost, two weeks to get where I am today.

Mom: I can see that. It definitely shows.

Mom: I'm proud of you.

Sabrina: OMG thank you mom!!

 

Sabrina: What do you think dad?

Dad: About what?

Sabrina: Me, the house, Sam being here, everything.

Dad: Well I love the house, but I'm not happy with Sam's new look.

Sam: You noticed?

Dad: How could I not notice? You look like Sabrina painted you with black paint.

Mom: Sam, why the change?

Sam: I always felt like I was supposed to be a certain way while living with you two. As soon as I moved in here, I changed my entire appearnce.

Mom: Did you know about this Sabrina? 

Sabrina: Yes I did and I fully support it.

Dad: How could you allow your sister to turn into...this...?

Sabrina: Freedom of self expression. She has every right to dress and look how she wants. I'm not going to tell her what to do with her own body.

Dad: That's what parenting is all about.

Mom: No it's not dear. Sabrina's right. 

Dad: You can't possibly agree with this.

Mom: But I do. We should've let Sam be her own person instead of making her like us.

Dad: What would the people at the country club think?

Mom: They can think whatever they want about her. She's our daughter no matter what.

Sabrina: ahem

 Mom: Yes, I know you're our daughter too. I shouldn't have let you leave like that. I'm sorry.

Dad: I'm not sorry. I expect my children to behave a certain way and look a certain way. If you can't respect that Amanda then we have no business being married.

Mom: Excuse me, Roger? You would divorce me because I support our daughters?

Dad: Yes I would because you were behind me on this.

Mom: That was a mistake on my part. I was never happy about disowning Sabrina, but you were adamant about it so I went with it. I wish I had never agreed to it.

 Dad: Then that's it. I'm not listening to anymore of this. None of you are welcomed into my home ever again. You can move out Amanda and live with your pathetic daughters. I'm done with all of you.

Sam and Sabrina: Dad you can't be serious. You've been married for 30 years.

Dad: This is major girls and I wouldn't expect either of you to understand.

Sam: You can't just walk away from mom like that.

Mom: It's okay girls. Part of me expected this from him. I had hoped that it wouldn't have gone this way, but it did.

Sabrina: I'm sure Sam won't mind if you move in here with us, right?

Sam: You can absolutely move in with us. We have plenty of room.

Dad: Plenty of room? We barely have room to talk.

Sabrina: For mom, it's not a problem. We will make it work.    

Mom: I get half of that money in the divorce Roger.

Dad: Fine, but that's the last dime you'll ever see from me.  

So that's mom behind us officially living here, but she's so heartbroken. Dad was her first and only love. Sam and I will do everything we can to help her. ~Sabrina

 Thanks to the demand mom made with dad, we now have over $250k. I'm not sure what Sabrina has planned, but I can't wait to see what she does with the money. I know she'll use it on the house and save some. !Sam!

 So with part of the money, I gave the house a complete makeover from the outside to the inside. I'm ready to post pictures of our "new" home that is the perfect size for 3 people.

 

So the changes that were made: changed it to stone, which wasn't easy. Re-did the roof since I added onto the house. Added a decorative fence in the front with some flowers for color. New front door and some exterior lighting. ~Sabrina
