Unexpected incident

"Come on, Leticia, is it that bad?" Erin asked with concern as she showed her red spotted face to her aunt, she clearly woke up due to her burning face. Quickly she rushed to the bathroom to wash away the face musk she had put the previous night to make her skin soft but she could see dots on her forehead and on her right cheek

"Look here honey...well..’t...there's nothing wrong with...aish"Leticia said as she held Erin by her chin and turned her, so she could see properly and actually seeing her face Leticia gasped as she zipped her mouth not wanting to say anything, the poor woman looked hideous

"I know...its horrible... I shouldn't have listened to Lola"Erin said in frustration and walked back to the dressing table where multiple cream tubes were and all of them were from her friend who always bothered her with making the skin soft even though her skin was already perfect

"Lola?you mean you actually listened to Lola...good god Erin"Leticia said with wide surprised eyes as to why an intelligent person like Erin would listen to Lola, Lola was her troublesome single daughter who didn't know her purpose in life other than giving beauty tips that didn't work for anyone

"I know aunt, but she insisted...and you know today...oh no princess I forgot...how are you dear"Erin was so confused that she even forgot her little daughter Kiara standing there in a pretty little light pink dress with curlers in her hair. Kiara smiled and planted a small kiss on Erin's cheek and gave her a hug,

"Mommy get ready...we should go now... I don't want to be late"Kiara said in a small mischievous voice that had Erin smiling faintly not sure how to tell her daughter that she wasn't ready to go anywhere seeing how hideous her face was but then again breaking her daughter's heart on her very first school function when she just started school a week ago they moved to Italy

"Okay my princess...go and pack everything...mommy will be ready in two minutes...is that right"Erin replied as she moved away from Kiara who smiled cutely and nodded

"Okay mom"saying that Kiara ran out of the room looking all happy and only until she was gone did Erin sigh and got up from the floor and Leticia arched a brow at her

"Leticia I can't go...could you please"she started saying not sure how to go about it, but Leticia shook her head and put her hand on hip

"You know I can't Erin... I have to go to the restaurant...the food critic is coming"Leticia said with utter defeat and Erin greatly understood her aunt's situation. Leticia was a kind-hearted want who had always been there for her even in the past her aunt never seized to be by her side and she was a business lady who owned a successful restaurant not just that, but a food critic was coming to taste their food which was important

"I wish Lola was here"Erin said as she looked at herself in the mirror, and she looked horrible, she wasn't going to show her ugly face in public later on to Kiara's school because the school itself wasn't so ordinary but the most expensive school in the city with rich kids and parents she was lucky her daughter had an opportunity to get admission thanks to Leticia who didn't want her granddaughter to go to a less prestigious school

"I would have loved to go and don't ever count on that Lola...she didn't even come home last night"Leticia said furiously hating the name Lola at all cost, her daughter was careless above all single and not searching forget searching she was certain Lola didn't even think about finding a man for herself

"Don't say that...she called me last night…and well, she has a job interview later on, so I'm sure she didn't want you to know about it"Erin explained with a chuckle and started looking her through her clothes hoping to find something to cover her face with, Leticia loved her daughter very much and wanted nothing but a son-in-law which was a different case with Lola, she loved being single

"Interview my foot…anyway get ready now you will be late, and we don't want that"saying that Leticia left Erin to do her thing and Erin stood there and sighed heavily as she stared at the black cloth in her hands.

"It's better than nothing"she told herself and tried it on and yes, it was going to hide part of her face. It was going to be a long day, but she hoped to see the school principal and tell her about the situation she was in. Parents were expected to go on stage and give a little speech about their children, and well she wasn't going to do that and embarrass Kiara.

***

After getting ready she made sure her daughter was looking presentable too, and hence they took a taxi to Sun sky private school, it wasn't a long way there but just 10-20 minutes drive however with the unlucky traffic jam Erin was sad to make her daughter late when she was greatly excited and couldn't stop praising her beautiful school as well as the many friends she had met some she liked and some she thought didn't like her. To be honest, her Kiara was a chatterbox who didn't stop talking regardless of what but other than that she was everyone's favorite little girl and the principal and teachers loved her in just a short while

"Alright madam…this is it... I can't drive any further in"the taxi driver said and Erin looked out the window and understood seeing the many expensive cars driving inside the school grounds

"Okay uncle bye!"Kiara shouted in excitement and immediately stormed out of the car and made a run for it

"Kiara stop running!wait mister"Erin shouted after her daughter as she dug in her purse to get the money, so she could pay, her face was covered which the driver frowned upon but didn't say anything

"Here...thank you"she quickly gave him the money and proceeded to run after Kiara who wasn't even looking where she was going, cars were speeding by which was dangerous however the little girl was too happy to see the danger

"Kiara no!"Erin shouted as her heart beat increased as she looked to her left and saw a black car coming at full speed then to her daughter who was running to cross the road but tripped on something and fell down

"Kiara get up baby!"she shouted in fear, dropped everything she was holding and made a run for it, it seemed like her daughter had hurt herself and her shoe had come off, hence she was trying to put it back on without knowing of the car coming. Erin held her heart in her hands as tears rained down her cheeks running as fast as her legs could carry her, she was hoping the driver of the car would stop, but it seemed whoever was driving seemed to be blind to see the little girl in the middle of the road

"No!" Erin shouted as she reached to where kiara was and dropped to her knees and hugged her daughter in desperation turning her back towards where the car was coming and shielded kiara from getting hit just as the car came to a halt just an inch from Erin's back who had her eyes closed waiting for her death which didn't come. The man behind the wheel widened his eyes in fear as he got back to his senses, but soon darkened his expression and stepped out of the car in fury.
