When she closed the taxi door before it drives away from her old neighborhood, Marissa has to snuck in a breath, one that made her remind herself that she was in for another heartbreak, if she thinks her mother would spare her a glance, nor a minute of her time.
She needs to talk to her, anyone! It's been three days since the last ordeal with Sasha, that made her close her heart towards finding real friendship out here in the world, which left her with no other option but to see for her mother.
Mary Diaz might be a lot of things to her, but she could never hate her mother no matter how hard she tried thinking that she does, afterall, it's her fault that her husband died so it wouldn't be any different if she was the one in her shoes.
When she went into the newly upgraded neighborhood, where her mother and her new husband lived, she breathed in one last time before wasting no time to knock on the door.
