Chapter 8
(Mother's know best)
Abby's pov
I don't know what has gotten into Hannah lately she's not that sweet girl I raised. She is moody and hateful. She still won't talk to Ryder and they have been best friends since birth. She is always arguing with Chance and has even gotten snippy with me. I don't know who this boy is but he has caused her to change. She doesn't even dress the same any more. She's trying to act older and edgier she's following me down a bad path and as much as I love my kids I don't want them to make the same mistakes I did. I don't want her to be a teen mom. She had so many dreams and things she wanted to do before she met this kid. Now all she wants to do is be on the phone with him, and from what I've heard he doesn't seem to like her all that much. I thought I could breathe easy once Antonio was locked away but this is just a whole new set of problems we didn't prepare for. Chance has tried digging dirt up on this kid but we get nothing. A kid like him there is no way he has a squeaky clean past. I know guys like him hell I fell for the bad boy in my high school and had Hannah and Hailey with him. I think that's what bothers Chance the most is this kid is just like he used to be before he turned his life around. I have tried talking to Hannah to find out more about this boy but she won't tell me anything. So I'm going to do what any mother in my place would do I'm going to invite this boy over for dinner and get to know the boy my daughter plans on going to this dance with. I told her if she brought him to dinner that I would allow them to go to an early movie afterwards. I don't want that but it was the only way to get him here. I also told Hannah I will take her shopping tomorrow for her dress and let her pick out any one she wanted. I needed her to trust me so I can gain her trust then maybe she will open up and start talking to me. I'm just glad Chance and Ryder are away on a business trip so they won't know what it is I am doing. I know once they find out all hell will break lose, but I will deal with that when the time comes. Of course I won't be letting the two of them go on this date alone I am having Hailey and Reed follow them and let me know what is going on. I may trust my daughter but I will never trust some high school bad boy. After all mother knows best. You have to keep you friends close and your enemies even closer and until I know just what this kid is up to he is one of my enemies and that is never a good thing to be. I will protect my children at any cost so I hope this boy knows just what's in store for him if he even thinks about hurting my daughter. This would be so much easier if she would just look at Ryder the way he looks at her. Poor boy has been in love with her since he found out girls didn't have cooties. I'm not giving up hope though I hope this Luke kid is just a faze and she wakes up from it before it's too late otherwise we are in for some trouble.
