"Thanks for taking here for a few days." I said. Mom looked at me.

"You're welcome sweetie, but why all of a sudden?" she asked.

"He who must not be named is coming." I said.

"Lord Voldemort?" she asked. I giggled.

"DON'T SAY HIS NAME!" Emma shouted, jumping behind my couch. I laughed at her.

"It's not Lord Voldemort." I said.

"MICHELLE SERIOUSLY!" Emma shouted.

"It's Dustin." I said. Her eyes widened.

"Dustin as in deadbeat dad Dustin." mom said.

"Mom he isn't a deadbeat." I said.

"He left for LA right after you got pregnant." she said. "He left you to take care of Candace alone."

"Mom..." I said, biting my lip. Time to come clean. "Dustin can't be a deadbeat."

"Of course he is. He hasn't-" I cut her off.

"He doesn't know!" I shouted.

"What?" she asked.

"He was so excited to be a guitarist I just couldn't tell him." I said, sitting down. She sat next to me. "I know it was wrong to keep it from him, but you should have seen the look on his face. I just couldn't."

"It will be okay." she said. She looked at Candace. "Come on sweetheart Nani needs to get some groceries before we go to my house."

"Bye mommy. Love you" Candace said, hugging me.

"Bye baby. Be good for Nani." I said, hugging her back. She took my mom's hand and left the house.

"Um Michelle." Emma said, handing me her phone.
