Only you: Always and forever ( Remastered version)

"I reject," the shrill scream of Madison echoed from across the hall into the drawing room. Her eyes were wide and watering, and she looked as pale as a sheet when she remembered who she was talking to. A shudder of fear ran down her spine, but she couldn't help it. "Well, I dare say you will!" the loud and imposing voice of the Earl of Clanford echoed across the room. He looked significantly older, as if he had aged over a decade, but that didn't stop him from being as red as fire, consumed by anger that his youngest daughter would dare to talk back to him and defy him. However, Madison was too preoccupied to notice. Her heart pounded, and her palms were sweaty as her father's words kept resounding in her mind until it finally sank in: Robert Williams, the renowned Duke of Frostway, had just asked for her hand in marriage.

BEMOUNT GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL

“Simon...

The countess stared at him with wide eyes

“Where will she go? She is your daughter” she said with a crocked voice and behind her she saw Ellison already crying.

“She is my daughter, that is why I am doing this to teach her a lesson and for her to change”

Madison began to look frantically at her mother begging her with her eyes to stop him.

Her father had always spanked them or locked them in their rooms as a sort of discipline when they made a mistake, so why couldn’t he do that now, she didn’t want to leave her home and they people she loved.

………….

Standing quietly on the porch of the house, Madison patiently waited for the carriage to pull up in front of her before the coach man carried her inside and started to trot away from the house , looking behind her she saw Ellison silently crying why her mother’s head was cast down refusing to meet her eyes, her father had a stone hard expression on his face and lastly she looked at nanny Matilda who eyes were red and puffy from crying, staring at each one of their faces she tried to remember it as if it will be the last time she will see them.

The carriage began to speed up but she kept looking at them through the window until they became smaller and smaller, the coach made a turn which resulted to her not seeing them again due to the blockage of trees and she turned to face her front and quietly sat still.

Earlier that morning her father had told her that he was sending her to a prestigious all girls boarding school in bemount and that she should be happy he was saving her from the treatment she will get from society if she grew up like this, she begged and cried promising to change, but to no avail, he hadn’t listened to her and had called the carriage over to take her to the school, she didn’t know how long she was going to stay there and when she was coming back home, all she knew was that she didn’t want to leave her family.

She thought that all this had happened because of Rosette, she was jealous of her talent to make flowers bloom and decided to destroy her flowers and put the blame on her, and at that moment her little heart became so consumed with hate for the girl who single handedly ruined her life.

Arriving at a large Gate she read from a sign board BEMOUNT GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL.

Taking in a deep breath she walked into the building hand in hand with Sam the coach man who led her to the administrator office.

After he had finished talking to school administrator he left the building; leaving her alone with a woman whom she soon learned was named mademoiselle Salome.

She took her to one of the hostel rooms and left her there with a bunch of girls telling her to change her clothes and come downstairs, each of the girls were playing with one another or doing something or the other, but neither one of them seem to notice her.

Going to the only bed she saw which was empty at the end of the room and was also a lower bunk she dropped her belongings there, and began to change her clothes as she was instructed.

She didn’t eat anything during dinner and had gone back to her room feeling lonely and sad, usually after dinner her and Eli will go back to their room and play with their dolls before chattering and then finally falling asleep, but Eli wasn’t here and there was nobody for her to talk to as all of the other girls were still downstairs having their dinner.

She opened her little bag to see the doll Ellison had gave her and she smiled, she pulled out the doll and hugged it tightly to her chest and then laid it on the bed before curling herself in a ball and eventually fell asleep.

“Get up, get up”

She heard a loud voice wail in the room before she tiredly openly her eyes, she was about to tell nanny Matilda to keep it down before she took in her surrounding and then remembered where she was, it wasn’t a dream, she was here in this boarding school thousands of miles away from her home.

“Madison, come on now get up” a woman pulled her up and led her to the toilet to get ready.

After getting ready she ate very little for breakfast before going to her class without talking to anybody.

Madison was a very smart girl who was quick to learn so she understood all that was taught that day without any problem and after that she went back to the room to hear a group of girls giggling.

“Dose she carry this everywhere with her?” a girl with dark blonde hair said while chuckling and holding something in the air, and it was only then did she realized that they all had surrounded her bed.

“Of course she dose” answered another “she still sleeps with a doll like little a baby” she raised Madison piggy doll up higher in the air.

Entering the room Madison approached the girls and tried to take her doll back but the girls passed it around while making funny faces at her.

“Give it back!” she screamed but the only laughed more.

“Why, what are you going to do about it, are you going to cry?” Another dark haired girl said and they all laughed once more, having fun about her predicament.

All they girls were taller than her so she kept jumping to reach for Ellison’s doll but they kept throwing it around until she caught it, but the first girl with the blonde hair griped it and they both started pulling at the doll before the doll suddenly ripped dividing into two parts and all the stuffed foam inside it fell to the floor, the other girl dropped the head of the doll and they all started laughing at her again, but this time, it was because she was crying.

They had destroyed the last thing she had of her sister; she also threw the body and ran out of the room. She hated it here; she hated their food, their uniform and even the girls here as they were all mean to her.
