+Khloe+

"Bet i can beat you at basket ball." i sang out as we pulled up at Clara's house and the basketball hoop in the backyard.

"Haha that'll be the day" he teased.

"You wanna bet? Let's make a deal."

"Okay, what kind of deal?"

"If i win, we watch all the twilight movies tomorrow. If you win, you get to punish me" i said confidently.

"You're on"


"What's going on now Khloe?" Clara asked us stepping outside with a tray of lemonade.

"Hey Aunt Clara, we're playing basketball" i explained.

"Hey Clara" Justin called out.

"Oh, have fun you two. And Khloe, i have a surprise for you after dinner" she said.

Oh great. I HATE surprises. Justin learned that the hard way.

"So are we going to play or what?" he asked.

"Yeah, yeah alright." I said and started bouncing the ball.

"So what's the surprise?" i asked my aunt.

We just finished eat my favorite food of all time, tacos.

"She should be here soon"

I slumped onto the couch, Justin following in suit beside me.

I jumped up at a light knock on the door.

"That must be her"

What.

"Khloe," the door opened to reveal a pale lady with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.

"Hey she kinda looks like you" Justin said dumbly.

"M-mom?" i asked curiously, trying to keep calm.

"Hello Khloe" she said.

That same smile i remember as a child was still shining brightly, she smelled like coffee ground from her job as a Starbucks barista.

"Mom" i said again quietly.

Without thinking, i ran up to her and wrapped my arms around her so tightly i couldn't even believe it.

My mom was finally back.
