Chapter TEN

  Theme: The life of Ivy Rivera

  FLASHBACK TO TEN YEARS AGO

  WINSLOW, ARIZONA.

  “Emily did your sister tell you where she was going when she left the house early in the morning?” Mrs Rivera asked.

  “No mom, she didn’t say anything to me.” Emily replied.

  “I guess she is off to throwing herself at the new boys in our town.” Mrs Rivera scoffed.

  “Mom that is not true.” Emily countered.

  “So what is true?” Mrs Rivera asked with a raised eyebrow.

  “What is true is that I saw a paper where Ivy wrote her schedule for this week, she is trying to find a job.” Emily said.

  Mr Rivera glances up to look at Emily. “What did you say Ivy is trying to do?” He asked as if he didn’t hear Emily’s words clearly.

  “She is trying to get a job.” Emily repeated in a low tone.

  Emily pondered if it was right to tell her parents about her sister’s plan to get a job although she didn’t know much about it other than the fact that she saw the words written in a note.
