Chapter 35

'When will you be back?' Hazel asked talking over the phone as she pranced around in the veranda outside the house.

'Tomorrow morning' Charlotte mumbled slowly, it almost seemed that she was hiding and talking.

'Why are you mumbling?' Hazel asked confused by the way Charlotte kept answering her questions.

'I am kinda outside, Haze. I will call you later' she responded quickly disconnecting the call within Hazel could speak up.

'That was weird' Hazel thought to herself as she turned back to enter the house but stopped when she heard the gate open. She saw Chris and Ed driving into the driveway in their car.

'Where were you guys?' she asked going up to them as they got down from the car.

'Hazel, I need a favor' Chris said looking at her, ignoring her previous question.

'What is it?' she asked turning serious from his reaction.

'I want you to stay in your room for at least half an hour' he pleaded, hoping that she wouldn't object.
