{Now that we have a new house, we decide its time to get some of Mum and Dad’s furniture back. But when Tracy calls Noelene, who’s been storing Mum’s prized dining room set, she actually refuses to part with it. I can’t believe it, so when Tracy, Chris and Trent are out, I call Noelene myself.
“Our mother loved that dining set and glass cabinet,” I tell my mother’s old friend. “We really can’t give them up now,” she says. I can’t believe her nerve.
A couple days later I work up the courage to drive to Noelene’s. I hate to do it, but it seems like my only option. I feel pretty certain that if Noelene sees me in person, she won’t be able to say no.
I’m standing in her dining room staring at our table and chairs.}*
“Look, Erin, I’m sorry, but we’ve designed our whole living room around these pieces,” “But you promised,” I blurt out. I am so angry. “I’m sorry. No.” “What do you mean no?” I say fuming. “Mum would be crushed, you used to laugh with her, and we used to come here for family barbecues. Mum’s friendship with you meant a lot. They hold so many memories for us.” “Again, I’m sorry, but no” Noelene explains with a shrug. “How can you do this, Noelene?” “How can you stand there denying Tracy, Trent and me some thing so precious, because you designed your living space around it?” Noelene shakes her head and walks toward the door. I can’t believe her.
{I’m seventeen and powerless to do anything else.
And that’s that.}*

I chose to rewrite this page because I think that she should have been more appalled at Noelene and her actions. I completely find it despicable that a person would deny someone an object with so much sentimental value. I find that the people that were so close to Erin’s parents when they were alive now seem so materialistic. They seem to care less and less about Erin and her family, then before when her parents were alive.
