Chapter 53

Amy drove as fast as she could to her mom’s house. She was still in tears, both from Bryan’s distrust of her feelings and her mom’s betrayal. How could her mom do this to her? How could she betray her this way? She made her believe that she wouldn’t interfere in her relationship, when in reality she wanted to ruin it. Why can’t she just let her be?

After a long drive, Amy arrived at her mom’s house. She impatiently got out of her car, not bothering to close the door. She made her way to the door and entered the house without knocking.

“Mom! Mom!” She began to yell, the minute she stepped into the living room.

Paula was in the kitchen making lunch for Carl, who would be back from kindergarten soon, when she heard Amy’s voice.

‘Why is she here?’ she wondered.

From the way her daughter was calling out her name, she didn’t sound okay. Paula quickly dropped what she was doing and rushed to the living room to find out what Amy wanted.
