                       Emily's POV ✿ ⁰ o ⁰ ✿

        " What is it ", I said turning to her , I really had no interest in having this conversation with her .

        " Emily , I'm so sorry , I didn't mean it that way , it's just that- ", she made to say , but I cut her off . I knew exactly what she meant . Just like everyone else , she had learnt to look down on me .

        " Leave me alone ", I said , avoiding her eyes .

        " I can't , and I will not leave you alone Emily , just listen to me first , and then I'd not try to pester you again ", she said , and I was willing to give her one chance to speak .

       " Fine ", I said , and she took a deep breath .

       " I'm sorry Emily , I didn't mean to upset you , I just don't want you getting hurt because of me , because I wouldn't forgive myself if anything wrong happens to you ", She said , and I didn't know when I started to tear up . I gave her tight hug , and she relaxed a bit in the hug .

       " I'm so sorry for being a jerk , I understand it wasn't your fault ", I said , and I wiped my tears . We pulled out of the hug .

       " Ohk so , about Allison , what are we going to do about her ", I asked

        " Um I was thinking we could ruin her reputation or something , I just want to make her pay for everything she did ", Tara said , and I had the same goal as she did , but  I felt we needed a solid plan .

                           *        *        *

   
        " Hun wake up , it's time for school ", mum said , and I rubbed my eyes , hoping it'd help with the sleep .

        " Mum , why did you have to wake me up , I'm so tired ", I said , sounding tired .

         " Get up Emily ", mum said , with some kind of seriousness in her tone , and I knew something was wrong . She didn't sound like this often , and whenever she did , I always knew we had a big talk ahead .

        " Ohk mum ", I said , still feeling sleepy , and I sat up on my bed .

         " I found clothes that weren't yours in the laundry ", mum said , and my heart skipped a beat . I was so frightened to death . What was I going to tell her ? Why did she even go to the laundry ? She wasn't supposed to go there till the weekends .

        I made sure I had snuck in through my room window and changed into my own clothes that looked similar to what I had worn that morning , and I had snuck back out , and went to the front door , to make it seem like I had just arrived .
    
        I went through all that stress to be caught out at last . I couldn't just give in . I had to say something .

           " Emily , are you even listening to me ", my mum said , and that startled me . I trembled a little bit and she looked at me with a piercing gaze , and I averted my eyes , so she wouldn't notice the fear that it withheld .

             " Yes mum , I did hear you , and um.... Those clothes - uh...... I um...... Uh...... Yes.... Tara dragged me shopping after school yesterday , and we got matching sweaters ", I  lied  " sorry I didn't tell you earlier ", I added , to make it more believable .

           " Are you sure hun , because I'm sure I saw you get scared , for such a simple question with an answer this simple ", mum said , and I knew she had her suspicions . I had to do something to change the impresst she had .
   
           " Yes mum ", I said , avoiding her eyes " umm....  I need to go get ready for school , or else I'd be late ", I said , making an excuse , to leave , because I didn't want to get busted .

           " Emily , you know you can tell me anything right ", she said , and she held my hand .

            " I feel I haven't been doing a great job being a mom lately . We've drifted a little bit apart , or maybe a whole lot . You don't even tell me what's up in your life anymore , you don't share your problems , and I know you're going through a whole lot ", my mom said , and I got teary . I gave her a hug . She was right . We had gotten apart in the past few days . I never told her my problems because I didn't want to bother her , and somehow , she knew that I wasn't fine , but I still didn't let her in on my problems .

            " It's not your fault mum , I've just been a really bad daughter ", I said , and tears rolled down my cheeks .

          " No hun , it's my fault , every parent should be able to feel their children's pain , but I have failed at doing that ", she said , her voice getting shaky , and I knew she was also crying .

           " No mum , you haven't failed . You're the best mum ever . You always know when I'm down , but I always deny it . I deny every of my problems . I run away from my problems and also decide not to share them , as if that's even going to help , I'm the one in the wrong here , but I think it's time to tell you the truth ", I said , and took a deep breath .

           " Remember how I ran off early yesterday morning ? I had gone to see Tara at school , and I was out too early , because a rogue tried to... a-a-assault me ", I said , and I began to cry uncontrollably . The thought about how the rogue touched me , made me feel dirty . I felt my mum tense up at the spot 
. I pulled out from the hug , and ran into the bathroom , and I turned on the shower . I let the water flow from my head to my toe , soaking my hair up , and my clothes . I was completely drenched in the water . I rubbed my skin , trying to get the feeling of the rogue's touch off my skin .

        Mum ran into the bathroom and turned off the shower , and I let my self fall to the floor .

          " What are you doing Emily ", mum said , and she came up to me , and gave me a bear hug .

            " I'm dirty mum , h-his touch still lingers over my skin . H-he almost had me you know ", I said , still crying , and I heard slight sobs from my mom .

           " I'm sorry hun , I didn't know you had to go through all of this ", my mom said .

            " It's not your fault mum ", I said , and I tried my best to control myself , so my mom wouldn't shed any more tears because of me .

            " Why didn't you tell me ", she said , and I felt guilty . I didn't have the right to lock her out of my life , she was literally the person who brought me into this world . She had the right to know what happened in my life .

          " I didn't want you to get worried ", I said , and she pulled out from the hug , and looked at me , and I could see the anger in her eyes  .

           " Don't you ever say or think such ever again , it's my job to be worried , you're always going to be my cute little girl , I'd love you no matter what , and I'd always be worried about you every second , so don't you ever think you're doing me a favor by not sharing your problems ", she said , and I nodded , and she gave me a peck on my forehead .

         " I think you need to get ready for school , so you wouldn't be late , but when you come back from school , we have alot to talk about ", mum said , and I simply nodded .

          " Okay mum ", I said , and I got up .
