Chapter 22: Decisions

Spencer awoke with an already empty feeling in her heart. It wasn’t a happy day. She didn’t want to have to face her dear mother because she didn’t know what she would say.

Maybe a nights rest helped her clear her mind and maybe she won’t be as bad. Plus dad is here and that’ll cause her to be less crazy.

After quietly doing all her morning rituals Spencer was ready to leave and made her way downstairs. Her hand lazily drug on the railing shaking as she took each step down. She was in no rush for what was to come. Who would be? Who would want there psychotic mother yelling at them for having ‘Satin’s child’ as a friend while she made her assumptions of the two of you being together? Pushing everything aside Spencer took in a deep breathe ready for her form of hell.

There Paula was sitting at the table on her laptop and biting into a bagel. She looked up and their similar eyes met. Spencer put on a fake smile while Paula just gave her a cold glare. Rolling her eyes Spencer went to the kitchen to grab a glass of orange juice and prepare herself a bowl of cereal. After completely said tasks she sat down at the table. Right across from mother dearest. Awkward would describe the atmosphere. Spencer just chewed her food and drank her juice with nothing to say. Paula sighed and shut her laptop, which caused Spencer to look up from her remaining already soggy Honey Combs(best cereal lol). Clasping her two surgical hands together Paula looked at Spencer, seriousness written all over her features. Starting from her stature to those clasped hands to her fixed jaw.

Paula: "So, now we have to discuss the terms of this fiasco yesterday."

Spencer looked at the clock on the wall.

Spencer: "Don’t you think it’s a little to late? Can’t we just wait until I get home."

Paula: "No, it’s not to late and it doesn’t matter if we don’t finish this discussion now I am your ride to school anyways."

Spencer: "What? Why can’t Ashle….."

Nice way to avoid the topic. Idiot.

Paula: "That girl is to never see you again, let alone take you to school."
