You and Derek had been engaged for 5 months. His parents acted as if they never liked you.

You're backgrounds were completely different. You grew up a humble life persay and Derek was wealthy, and for fun, they would have gone on trips to italy or other extravagant places. Stark contrast between you having a job at the ripe age of 15 to help with bills.

This summer you were super excited for this family vacation that before you were in the picture, Derek and his family had always went on, then we're going to italy to view the new museums and just explore, maybe even shop.

You are currently helping pack the last bit of stuff before heading up to the airport; Excited to leave for the flight, which is in eight hours, you've never been to italy before, and you hoped that this family vacation could help you bond with his parents.

However his mother walks up to you, asking, "do you really plan on coming with us?"

You responded, "I was hoping to?"

Your future mother in law, laughed; saying, "Italy is no place for a commoner dear. Maybe you should just stay here since it's a yearly family vacation.

Inside, you feel heartbroken, but you just nod. "Oh ofcourse, go have fun, I'm not family. I'll be here untik you get back.-" I said with a smiled as my heart hammering at the sound of me, zipping up Derek's suitcase.

What I didn't know is it was all a test by his parents to see if I would respect their decisions and to test my character. It had been a test from the very start. His parents never hated me.

The way I acted as if I was used to being brushed off and not being included into fancy activities or being considered family made derrick and his father's, heart break. And his mother was utterly surprised, almost guilty.
