*Lauren's POV*

"I'm scared, I don't know these people mom what if something happens to me.I COULD GET KILLED OR KIDNAPPED."

"Lauren, it's just babysitting."she sighs"I trust that she'll make you as comfortable as possible these are friends of the family honey."

"Friends of the family.""Not friends of me."

"The baby's cute, you'll love it.""You love babies right?"

"Mom."I roll my eyes at her bad time to make jokes.

"Michelle."

"My god."I mumble walking out of the living room and up the stairs into my room.

How can she just sell my services like that?
That's not okay with me.
Who does she think she is.
Why is she my mother.

*An hour later*

"LAUREN!""COME ON WE HAVE TO GO!"

"IM NOT GOING ANY WHERE."

I hear footsteps toward my room and then my door opens.

"Who said you weren't going anywhere?"

"My phones on 6%"I whine.

"You can charge it when you get there you big cry baby you don't need your phone, you only need to watch this baby."

"whyyyyy."

"Because.""I said so."

"That's not even a valid answer, it's always because 'you say so'."

"Listen, don't play with me Lauren Michelle you will get your ass up and into that car or I swear on my life I will-"

"FINE FINE FINE OKAY."I say putting my hands up surrendering to her threats.I grab my phone and my charger and walk down the hall grumbling.

"Bitch."I whisper under my breath crossing my arms on the way down the stairs then I land a smack on the side of my head.

"MOM."

"Shut up.""Car.""Now."

*Skips car ride*

"Behave, be respectful and listen.""Don't lose the baby Lauren I know how you are, misplacing things all the time."

"Yeah yeah yeah.""I won't.""I'll call you when you can come pick me up."

"Okay honey."

I get out of the car grabbing my phone and my charger and closing the door behind me.

I walk up to the front door and ring the doorbell anxiously playing with the bottom of my shirt.I'm not very good at meeting new people.

The door opens and I sigh of relief when I see it's not a man I'm babysitting for. Sometimes men can be complete creeps.

"Hi, uh I'm Lauren."I put out my hand to shake as she smiles slightly and grabs my hand in a light shake.

"You're Clara's daughter right?"

"Yup, that's me."

"My mom told her that I needed a sitter which I really didn't but she wanted me to get a night out.""I'm sorry if you had any plans."she frowns a bit.

"No no no, it's alright I didn't have plans just another Saturday locked up in my room."

"Well come on in Lauren."she steps to the side allowing me to enter. I walk through the doorway and I look to my right seeing the living room full of baby shit.This lady must stay home a lot.
