Carnations Better Be Green

Knock! Knock! knock! 

There was a heavy knock on the door

Knock! Knock! Knock! 

The knocks came again now more urgent and louder

Knock! Knock! knock! knock! 

There was no reply

Knock! Knock! 

" Oh, forget it". Tired of being ignored, Mira opened the unlocked door.

Immediately she entered a dark, dank, cramped room. The walls were painted yellow and the bedroom looks so disorganized.

The windows that were supposed to bring light into the room were enclosed with yellow curtains that were outlined with blue strips.

  The windows that were closed made everywhere to be dark except for the electric lamp that was emitting a little light beside the tattered bed filled with clothes.

The owner of the dark room and the reason for the room's moody depressed aura was a tired mopey bored face.

" Kelly" Mira sighed " you didn't answer the door" 

Kelly, who was laying down on her bed looking at her room ceiling remained quiet.

She lay there thinking about life and what a mess it had become.

Almost as if.... like overnight her whole world had changed.

All of her biggest fears were about to become true and it all started with the big m. marriage. She was about to be married to a man she didn't want to marry.

" Mrs. Stuart, I know you hear me," Mira taunted joining her friend on the bed.

" Don't call me that" Kelly huffed, turning her backside to her friend.

" Oh come on, Kells" Mira nudged her shoulder "what's up with your moody face? Today is your wedding day. This is supposed to be the happiest moment of your life " 

" I want to be left alone "

  As she lay there, her blonde hair was also laying with her on the bed, her pointed nose looked curved and her red lips looks so dried up. Her eyes were dim with worries, and her creamy body look so pale. She was scared of the future that awaited her.

" My baby girl is getting married today, am so happy for you babe, " Mira said excitedly while  still nudging her back
