Hi you lott, new chapter! thanks for 1.1K! Oh yeah this is that chapter I unpublished so thats why it has more views I just edited and its in the right place now, sorry abt that! That's why some of u might have voted it already btww.

I'd gotten off the hook yesterday. When I got home, mom was ordering everyone around to clean the house while she took a break. It was the one day in the week she got home a few hours early, specifically for that.

"Georgia, why are you late?" She asked from the sofa, where she was watching Tv. I knew she missed dad too, since she was watching the same show the two of them used to always watch toghether, even though she had never even liked it anyway.

"Um, I was with Emma." I lied, as always, as I struggled to take my shoes off. I don't know why I did. It's not like Reese was a drug dealer or something. 

"Oh yeah. I was going to ask you..." I gulped, knowing something bad was coming. "Are you sure? Cause I saw Emma's mom at the store this morning, and she said she hasn't seen you for months..." 

"Yeah... her mom's been pretty busy lately." I croaked. It was the only thing I could come up with.

"Okay. Well then go wash the dishes then hoover the house." She bought my filthy lies. I went to the kitchen, waltzing past a sweaty Kaiya, who was scrubbing the floor, and a moody Richard, who was folding the laundry.

I got back from school that Friday, exhausted. Just another day I would spend with Reese.

"Georgia, can I talk to you?" Mom asked as I was getting ready to leave. I immediately had a pit in my stomach. She'd said it in that tone and I already knew something bad was about to happen.

"Yeah, what is it?" I breathed. Getting ready to go see Reese was already long forgotten.

"Lets go to your room for a moment." She said coldly. This was going to be bad. I followed her, my legs as stable as noodles. She closed the door behind me and we sat opposite each other, me on my bed, her on Kaiya's bed.

"So, is there anything you want to tell me?" 

"No? What is it?"

"I know who you've been hanging around with after school." Her words cut through me like a knife. My heart lurched and ended up God knows where. I had a million questions already whirling through my mind. I stared at her in horror. That was the last thing I'd been expecting her to say. I'd completely forgotten that she didn't know about Reese.

"W-what?" Disbelief washed over me.

"You heard me." Oh fuck.

"Ho-how do you know?" There was no point trying to hide anything.

"I have my sources. All I can say is, you should be fucking ashamed. You're disgusting. I can't even look at you."

"Wh-what?!" I choked, tears threatening to spill out my eyes any moment.

"Think about what you've done." She got up to leave.

"No, mom wait! What did I do?!!" I cried, going after her and taking her hand so she wouldn't leave.

"Don't touch me." She slapped my hand off hers and continued walking.

"Mom, please!" She stopped and turned around to look at me.

"What? What do you want from me?" She demanded.

"What did I do??" I sobbed, near hysterics.

"You've been hanging out with a piece of shit. Only people who have no self respect do that. I don't have any respect for people like that either. You're literally no more than an ass wipe to me. Now go, Think about what you've done." She stormed away and slammed the door shut behind her.
