” We need to talk..”
I blink my eyes at her as she walks in.
” Ariel, who’s at the door?” Leslie asks and peeks her head out to the living room. She freezes when she sees mom.
” Mom.” Leslie mutters.
My mom sighs and looks around our house.
” Ariel, where’s your room?” She asks.
” Everything okay?”
” No. Now where’s your room?” She asks and stalk down the hallway.
I follow behind her and point to my room. She opens it and we enter. I shut the door behind her and lean against it as I cross my arms.
” I’ve been calling you for over a week now. You didn’t respond to any of my calls.” Mom starts.
” Probably because I didn’t see any call.”
” Where did you go? I came here almost a week ago to check on you guys and Leslie told me you went on a trip. What type of trip?”
I sigh.” Mom, I went on a trip to Hawaii with Gray that week. And this past weekend we visited Canada for Mia’s birthday. Why are you here mom?”
” Mia’s birthday? You’ve seen Mia?”
