Chapter 16

Listen to: Look at where we are- Dani Perez

Love comes to those who hope although they've been disappointed- to those who still believe although they've been betrayed- and to those who still love although they've been hurt.

Claire's POV

Nia'll and I make our way downstairs and thankfully, when we get there, my mum's almost done with making dinner. So I literally push Nia'll to the living room to play with Miles, while I help my mum set the table.

She doesn't say a word to me, but keeps on throwing awkward glances my way, with a sick smile plastered on her face. She even freaking hums to one of her weird juju music that she knows drive me insane.

A year ago, my mum played that song at home for a full day during Christmas break and the next day, I set the whole CD'S on fire. I sat next to it with a chair and a can of orange juice in my hand just to make sure the whole thing gets burnt and leaves nothing behind.
