Confessions

Hey guys I'm back. Sorry for the crazy long wait for chapter 5 but I kind of got stuck for a minute. Hopefully I'll be updating soon.

I think you are all really going to like this particular chapter. It's shorter than the others but I really wanted to focus more on their personal feelings, the ones that they don't share with anyone.

I hope you all enjoy and please comment and be on the look out for updates.

Xx

Normani went into her living room and sat down next to her mother on the couch. She snuggled into her as her puppy Preslee jumped up onto her lap.

"I missed you, mommy." Normani said as Andrea reached over and patted her lovingly on the head.

Normani had been enjoying school but she had to admit she'd been very homesick and was grateful for the Thanksgiving break.

"So maybe you should come back to Texas since you missed me so much." She suggested only half-joking.

Normani sat up and shook her head "No that's okay, I think I'll be fine as long as I get to come home on breaks." she said as her phone began vibrating her pocket. She took it out and read the two messages she had from Jilly in her head:

J: Hey, Marcus is having a party tonight.

J: Get ready, I'm coming to get you.

Normani smiled and replied "ok" before placing Preslee beside her and getting up.

"Where are you going?" Andrea asked.

"Jilly's coming to get me, we're going to a party."

Andrea chuckled "Who's going to a party? I don't remember you asking me if you could go to a party."

Normani rolled her eyes "Sorry, Mommy can I go to this party with Jilly please?" she pouted.

"I guess. But you better make sure you get home before two and you're getting up and going to church with Grams and I no matter how late you get back."

Normani nodded and then turned around and made her way to the stairs just as her mother called her again. She stopped on the first step and turned around "Yes?"

"Don't go off already, I still want to talk to you."

Normani groaned as she made her way back into the living room "Mom, it's just a party, I'm not going to do anything stupid. I'm 18 come on..."

Andrea giggled "Calm down, I wanted to talk about something else. Come sit down." she patted the cushion next to her and Normani walked over and plopped back down "How are you feeling about school?" Andrea asked as she pushed Normani's hair gently behind her ear.

"I love it, I told you that." she said quickly.

Part of her was trying to get this talk over with as soon as possible so she could figure out what she was going to wear before Jilly got there and another part of her wanted to sit and talk about school. Ever since Normani had left for school every conversation she'd had with her parents or people from home was about SFSU, her friends, her classes, and how much she loved everything already.

Andrea nodded "Ok, well how do you feel about leaving?"

Normani stiffened and raised an eyebrow "Well I'd be pretty upset if I had to leave. Why?" She was suddenly nervous that her parent's were going to force her to move back to Texas to stay with them and now she was even more eager to get up to her room.
