"Well honey; I think Mia has a point there.
The only way this could be resolved is for Sean to visit Mr and Mrs Thorn and explain himself better.
I think they also didn't mean any harm and would want their daughter to be happy but from the way things turned out; they assumed Sean was making mockery of their religion or something like that..."
"Yeah, I guess so.
Thanks mum.
errrm before I live; I would like to ask one last question"
"Shoot! She exclaimed
"Assuming I was Emily, would you have placed your religion above my happiness? "
" *clearing throat*
I wouldn't have placed anything above your happiness darling but I would also like for you to respect the one thing I hold dear to my heart that's the word of God".
"OK mum; thanks
I love you" I shouted as I run out to meet Martha and the other girls at a cafeteria across the street.
"Love you too honey" she responded
"Hi ladies"
"Hey Paula" they answered
"I spoke to my mum a few minutes ago and she also confirmed Mia's idea of Sean going directly to the source so I think we can proceed after school tomorrow".
"Spoke to your mum? Cindy asked angrily
"I thought this was just between us...what if your mum also confides in Martha's mum and hers also confides in Mia's mum and hers also confides in Emily's parents then what are we getting at?" Cindy asked angrily
"I didn't mean any harm Cindy; I just wanted a solution to help our friend and since you guys didn't participate much the other time,I thought of confiding in an elderly person who could relate to this.
I just needed a confirmation if Mia's idea was the solution we've been seeking all this while plus my mum is not a gossip and she promised not to speak about it with your parents " I answered confidently
"Promised! Do you know how many promises our parents has made to us but they failed to comply?"
"Clearly you have family issues but this is not about you Cindy.
We've all gathered here to find a suitable solution to help Emily and you're here making it all about you!
Martha exclaimed
"Enough ladies! Enough!
Evelyn budged in.
We've had enough of this childish play.
You should rather be working on coming up with a plan B if Mia's idea should fail not to come here and fight".
"I am sorry ladies
I know we all mean well and that we've gathered because we want to help our friend so let's carry on with the purpose of this meeting. Thank you
I said
"I am sorry as well" Cindy said with a frown.

After school
"Thanks for coming Sean"
"The pleasure is all mine" He answered
"To be able to resolve this issue, we've decided that it would be better if you go directly to the source and speak to them"
"Whaaaat; you want me to go over to Em's again?
Do you want her parents to get me arrested this time around?"
Sean asked in dismay
"We wouldn't want that Sean but you should know that you're partly responsible for the trauma Emily is going through.
She has been grounded for a month; she has to rush home immediately after school; she's not allowed any visitors; and to add to all these and more, her parents feel she has betrayed them.
I can't even imagine the emotional stress she's going through right now.
You might not be entirely responsible but you're partly to be blamed.
So you need to own up. Martha stated angrily
