Chapter 12

Scarlett took a deep breath as she arrived at her home that her dad made sure they would enjoy. Scarlett walked across the lawn, reaching the front door, she turned the handle and it turned out to be locked which through her off, so she went around to the back getting same result. Scarlett dug in her backpack looking for the house key luckily she held on to it. Scarlett reached for the front door, placing the key inside the door knob and turning it, gratefully both of them were able to get inside.

Andrea came running to Scarlett at the door hugging Scarlett tightly saying,

"What were you two thinking? Staying in the woods. You both have bed's here and a perfect life here. Shane is gone for good, so you two have nothing to worry about, I will always choose my daughter and future daughter in law over someone who wants to destroy my life. Next time someone does this either of you call me at work, understand?"

They both nodded as Scarlett took a deep breath replying,

"Mom, what about Angelique has she ever returned?"

Andrea shook her head responding,

"No, but I have a surprise for both of you."

Annabel and Scarlett looked at each other curiously wondering what Andrea is up to, they stood in the doorway nervously as Annabel nudged Scarlett saying,

"I hope this isn't nothing bad."

Scarlett whispered,

"Me too."

Andrea came out holding hands to Annabel's surprise her own mom Kaitlyn, she wanted to hide or something but she stood beside Scarlett without a word then Andrea spoke,

"Scarlett, I would like you to meet my first love and Annabel's mother Kaitlyn Macabre by the way Annabel, she is divorcing you're father so you're mom will not be a Hudson."

Annabel stood breathless then Scarlett took a step forward replying,

"Mom, do you plan on marrying Kaitlyn?"

Andrea chuckled responding,

"In due time yes, not right now though, Kaitlyn and Annabel are in our lives now."

Scarlett sighed heavily replying,

"Are they sharing a room or is Kaitlyn going in you're room?"

Andrea moved Scarlett's hair out of her eyes responding,

"I have made arrangements that you and Annabel share you're room and I will have Kaitlyn in my room."

That is when the front door open with Shane standing there taking a furious look saying,

"You had everything, EVERYTHING WITH ME!! How could you do this Andrea?! I thought you loved me."

Scarlett grabbed Annabel and Kaitlyn away from the door as she saw her mother shaking in response,

"After you kicked the girls out of MY home, I knew you weren't worth my time."

Shane growled walking closer to Andrea with fury in her eyes replying,

"Those girls need discipline especially Scarlett that rebellious child."

Andrea backed away a couple feet responding,

"Scarlett is calm since Annabel has been around and Annabel doesn't need anymore complications in her life."

Shane moved closer to Andrea nearly putting her against a wall replying,

"Annabel would survive in a all girls Catholic School and you're precious Scarlett need's Military School teach her sassy ass to calm down."

Andrea is cornered into a wall as Shane pulled out a knife inching it closer to Andrea's heart that moment she told Kaitlyn that she will always love her and that for her to make sure her daughter will be safe. Scarlett and Annabel screamed in horror that moment Andrea bled from her chest with tears running down her face that froze in place. Kaitlyn held both Scarlett and Annabel that moment Shane turned on them saying,

"Well now girls, this is all good and fun but I must go."

Shane left the house leaving Andrea's body down on the ground. Scarlett reached for her phone, dialing nine- one-one explaining her mom's dead and that Ronni "Shane" White had murdered her mother. Kaitlyn looked dazed and confused from everything that happened. The police had arrived turned out Brian Burgundy who saw her father's death in that nasty car wreck had tears fall from his face as he looked right at Scarlett saying,

"I am so sorry Scarlett, now you are without Andrea and Derek. Them two will be happy together in heaven but I will be on the look out for Ronni, she won't get away with this. Where do you plan on staying?"

Scarlett knew she couldn't stay at her home taking a deep breath looking at Annabel and Kaitlyn replying,

"I will be staying with Kaitlyn Hudson and Annabel Hudson."

Brian nodded seeing the ladies in front of him responding,

"Good, where do you live Mrs. Hudson?"

Kaitlyn shyly responded,

"Actually, we don't have a place. My husband is in jail and my daughter has lived here with her girlfriend Scarlett since then. I had to sell all of our stuff to make ends meet by myself. I came here to find my daughter because Scarlett's mom called me frantically about the girls. It had been a rocky road Brian."

Brian sighed in frustration replying,

"Scarlett, your parent's left you no will to your name if anything happened to them, so you're home will be gone and so it is looking like you'll be going into Foster with Natalie Lancaster."

Scarlett groaned responding,

"What about Annabel? We aren't supposed to be apart."

Brian shrugged replying,

"Sorry princess, it's the law, they'll go to a Woman and Children's Shelter with Mark Hanson."

Scarlett wanted to scream that her life now is literally going to shit once again.
