Shantelle locked the doors and left the house. She went to Mrs Johnson's who was an old woman that lives with her two older grand children and a dog. Shantelle wasn't really friends with the girls even if they were in the same age range.
She was always indoors studying that she didn't have time to make friends in the neighbors.
She took in a deep breath and rubbed her palms together before pressing the doorbell.
The doorbell rang but there was no answer, she rang it again and again but there still wasn't any answer. She guessed that they must have been fast asleep.
She sighed and just when she was about to turn around and leave, that door opened. A young pretty girl stuck out her head outside the door and looked at Shan.
"Oh! Neighbour?" The girl gasped after she realized who the girl standing in front the porch was.
"Yeah. Hi." Shantelle replied with a s

I'm your mother," Joan said the truth anyway."What! What did you just say?" Shantelle asked in shock. It took her time to find her tongue and say something as she was in shock. Or maybe she had not heard her correctly.Lia was so vexed that she didn't hide it, she glared angrily at Joan."Just leave!" Lia snapped and gestured towards the door. She was suddenly feeling light headed and dizzy."Please just give me a chance and I promise not to ever disturb you again. Just hear me out please. I'm not asking to be part of your lives or to accept me back as your mother, I just want to explain how things really were." Joan rushed her words.Her children just stood there staring at her."If what she said about being our mother is trur Lia, then please give her a chance to explain herself because I want an explanation too.

You need to be more serious and efficient." Nick stated harshly."I'm sorry sir, I'm really sorry. I'll try my best to memorize tomorrow's schedule and tell you off hand tomorrow."

"Let's talk in the sitting room." He turned to look at Nick when he noticed that Nick was still standing."You're really pretending like you don't know why I'm here? Really?" Nick asked angrily. He was controlling himself so hard not to punch Jones again."How am I supposed to know? We didn't have a fight or an argument. I didn't do anything wrong to you, did I?"
