A letter to an Advice Column

Dear Helpful Harry,

Last weekend my parents had planned to go on holiday to the beach, but I had my best friend birthday party so I didn’t want to go. They decided to go out only with my brother and left me alone.

The day after they left my best friend called and told me that she couldn’t make her party at her home. Also she asked me if I minded to celebrate her birthday at my house. I trusted in her when she explained that there were only a few friends invited.

The party day it came to my house a lot of people. When it finished and all people had gone, my house was dirty and messy. I felt angry and frustrated with all my friends and my best friend’s friends because I had to organise and tide my whole house by myself. In that moment I saw my mother’s favourite sculpture broken on the floor. I couldn’t believe it. I felt terrible guilty. I shouldn’t have lent my house, but I couldn’t go back.

Now I’m wondering if I should tell to my mother that horrible accident or if I should keep silence about it. Can you give me some advice, please?
