  Theme: A wish she was never born

  (FLASHBACK TO TEN YEARS AGO)

  WINSLOW, ARIZONA.

  (RIVERA’S HOME)

  Mr Rivera and his wife argued about the incident at the hotel. He scolded his wife for being harsh on Ivy when it was so clear that she was at force.

  “Whose side are you on? Ivy? Or me?!” She hissed out.

  “I am not taking side. I am just trying to correct you about-“

  She interrupted him sharply with a mocked laughter. “Correct me? Come on, stop acting like you are innocent in this issue. What? Are you pity your poor daughter now?”

  Mr Rivera raised up his eyebrows. “My daughter? Isn’t she your daughter too?” He questioned.

  “Is she my daughter? Oh please I can’t just stand that girl anymore! She irritates me each time I see her! Look at it now, she is not even back home yet. And I am sure she is somewhere making out with a man since that has become her specialty!” Mrs Rivera grimaced with annoyance clear in her tone.
