*Madelyn's POV*
I was upstairs, in my bedroom, watching some of Ashley's videos. Woohoo, nothing else to do. But a familiar voice made me pause the video and eavesdrop outside my bedroom door. I tip-toed over to the railing of the stairs and looked down to the living room. There stood dad, in front of mom. He was talking,
"I want to make things right"
"I still love you"
"I can't believe how dumb I was"
Wait, was dad trying to get back with mom? Would she believe it? Carly came over and stood by me, and we listened to the conversation. That's when we were caught red-handed. Dad looked up and saw us, and he waved with a warm smile. We waved and smiled back, and mom motioned for us to come down.
Carly and I raced down the stairs, and we all sat on the couch. Dad sat by my mom, and he told her,
"Dawn, I still love you. The reason you saw those two girls in my house was because I got drunk. And the reason I got drunk, was because I was sad. I missed you so much. I didn't mean to hurt you like that at all. The recruits are wondering about you, they miss you too. Even the team does. We want our shining star back."
Tears filled my mom's eyes, but a smile spread across her face. She nodded, and whispered,
"I'd be more than happy to be your girlfriend again."
Dad heaved a sigh of relief, and kissed my mom.
I was flooding with joy. Mom and dad, back together. This family would be normal again. Mom went to her office with dad, and I knew they were putting her back in Team Crafted, getting her new social media accounts, and skyping the team. Now the recruits would be happy, we could go to PAX Prime and Eurogamer as a family...of course along with the team.
But...not everyone loves my mom.
