"Mom, what the actual hell? You said to meet at the Radisson hotel on north Alafaya, not on south Vineland." I said annoyed into the phone. That means I have to drive literally across the city just to get to Kissimmee. If you haven't noticed, I get way too annoyed easily.

"I'm sorry! They said they booked the hotel on Alafaya street." She said. "I'm almost here."

"Well, I'm not!" I raised my voice a little. I sighed as I ran my hand through my hair, making a U turn from the hotel parking lot and onto the street. "Okay, sorry I snapped. Tell them I'll be a little late."

"Okay. Do you know where Mara is?"

"Um, I don't know. Call her, then text me when you know." I said into the phone. "I need the GPS on my phone. I'll call you later."

"Alright."

She hung up, and I went on Google Maps. I didn't know the address, and to be honest who would know anyways? I just typed in Raddison South Vineland, Kissimmee. It worked, so I started the GPS there.

"Head west onto 408."

I put my phone on the charger and set it down on and then turned on the radio. Stupid commercial breaks are taking over my peace time.

"Mom, why were you so mad?"

I looked in the rearview mirror to see Mason staring at me. "Oh, it's nothing. Your grandma gave me the wrong address. I'm fine now, I promise."

"Okay, good. I don't like it when you're mad."

"I wasn't mad, Mason." I said, keeping my eyes on the road. "I was just, a little annoyed, I guess."

"It seemed like you were mad."

"I wasn't." I promised.

"Who are we visiting anyways?"

"People."

"Uh, okay."

Around 40 minutes later, I parked right next to my sister's car. I started to slightly shake while I unbuckled Mason from his carseat.

"I think you're growing a little too big for this." I said as he hopped off. I shut the car door and locked my car with my keys, stuffing it in my side purse as I fixed his outfit. "You're bringing your light saber?" I asked.

"Is it okay?"

"Of course." I said. I fixed his hair a little bit and we started walking. I remembered the floor and the rooms that Mara texted me. Room 213, 214, and 215 all on the fourth floor.

I shook even more as we headed inside to the lobby. The Sugg's were in the same building as me. We are breathing the same air. Then I realized, what would they think of me having a child at 18? Even worse, that it was Joe's?

My original plan was to introduce them to Mason and say that the father left. Because, that was all true.

"Mom, are you okay? You're shaking." Mason said as he touched my hand.

"I'm fine, baby." I said quietly as we entered the elevator. Mason loved to press the buttons, and I told him, "Fourth floor."

I looked down at what I was wearing. A cotton light gray blouse with black ripped jeans and random old Converse that barely fit me with red socks. Man, I probably should've dressed up a little bit more nicer.
