After everything that happened the last hours,Nelly went back home,crying alone in her room.Ethan would leave tomorrow,waiting for her choice,concerning her human or mermaid side and her two loves,him and Inkan.Alicia was not the friend that Nelly knew.She was a betrayer.Nelly was so confused.What should she choose?While she was crying,the door knocked.It was her mother.Nelly wiped away her tears and let her enter.Nelly stood up from her bed.
"Yes,mom"she said.Her mother seemed really angry,but her heart softened when she saw her daughter's eyes red.
"Were you crying?"her mother asked.Nelly denied.Her mother seemed angry again.
"I saw everything"she said.
Everything?What excactly does she means by saying everything?
"We are going to discuss later about your secret 20 year old boyfriend.For now,you are going to tell me about your mermaid life".
"Were you spying on me?"Nelly asked furious.She was also anxious.Her biggest secret was revealed.
"No!I was walking and I saw my daughter turned into a mermaid kissing a marine.And of course,a merman appeared and fought with the marine for your heart.By the way who was the merman?"her mother asked her.
Nelly was forced to tell the truth.There was no point lying.Her mother knew her secret.
"Prince Inkan...We had made up at the first class of high school,but we broke up.We were still friends.Sometimes,I was going to the sea meeting my mermaid mates.This year,I met Ethan who was a kind-hearted and humble man.We fell in love.But one of my mermaid friends betrayed me to Inkan.Inkan was pissed off,so..."
Her mother seemed furious and disappointed.
"For how long has this been happened?"her mother asked.
"Since I have been twelve years old"Nelly confessed.Her mother was shocked.
"How could you?I have warned you many times not to get involved with all that stuff.It does not concern only you,but me too!"
"Mamma,I am sorry,I...should have talked to you about that but,I was afraid"Nelly said.
"Now,the marine.Do you know that he is an adult?He would have gone to jail"
"You cannot say a thing about that.I will turn 18 in few months"
"I do not care.You neglected your studying!You..."
"I do not know if I want to be a mermaid or a human"Nelly confessed.Her mother heart was broken.She tried to protect her daughter from everything that concerned the mermaids,and...her daughter was in a grand dilemma.
"We can find your family.I will explain them how much you miss
them"Nelly insisted.
"Shut up!"her mother shoutted.The silence ,that followed,was deadly.
"Look,as for my choice...I have to think..."
"Well,you will have plenty of time to think,because you are grounded,young lady!No exit nights,no mermaid life and no 20year old boyfriends.Only school,home and studying!You will be locked to your room!"her mother said.Nelly did not say anything.
Her mother left shutting the door behind her.Nelly was completely devastated.
