Chapter twenty Three

"You sound so grown up."

"You need to give him a second chance. Mom, he never meant it. Maybe his hand hit by accident against my bum when he grabbed me. Some things in this life are unforgivable, honey."

 

"Mom, we cannot go back to my schooling, and my friends are here. We won't go back."

"Honey, stop worrying about everything. That is why I am here."

"Have you heard about those missing kids?"

"Which missing kids, Mom?"

"Nick and Trish?"

"No, Mom, what about them?"

"Their bodies were found in that house Scott saw you in yesterday."

"I was not in the house. I walked around the house."

"Why would you walk around the house, honey."

"Because I heard a scream, that is when I saw Scott inside."

"Scott inside where?"

"Inside the house, mom."

"But honey, why would you see Scott inside the house and not say anything at dinner?"
