"Talk to me Michael! Where were you yesterday!" Constance snapped at her son.
As soon as he had come home yesterday he had hidden away in his room, a sign that he was hiding something.
The boy looked angry at his mother for prying into his life at every second.
"I was out! No big deal!" He shouted at her and threw his hands up in annoyance at being questioned.
Constance pointed a finger at him and walked closer to him slowly in a menacing manner.
"Tell me right now, or so help me Michael you will regret it." The woman spat.
Michael crossed his arms but gave in from Constance's constant nagging.
"I went to go and see our new neighbour." He said, still frustrated at his mother.
Constance clenched her jaw and edged even closer to the boy.
"If you caused any trouble at Georgia's home I will not be happy Michael."
"I didn't! We just talked! I'm not some monster that you have to chain up! I would never harm her!" Michael shouted and his mother and walked out of the room, slamming the living room door on the way out.

Georgia walked downstairs to the kitchen as soon as she woke up.
Looking around, she wanted to see if her mother had come home yet.
Her mother hadn't.
Instead, Georgia found a post-it-note on the kitchen counter telling her that a 'business meeting has come up and she's going away for a couple of days'. Her mother had left her some money for each day for Moira to buy groceries and any extras they wanted to buy.
The girl was so depressed that her mother wouldn't be home again.
She felt like she hardly saw her anymore.
Trying to brush off any sad feelings, she ate a quick snack for breakfast and walked over to Constance's house to say hello.
Boredom was her main feeling so interacting with Constance or Michael could do her some justice.
Georgia knocked on the front door lightly and waited patiently outside.
Constance opened it and smiled at the girl, immediately opening the door and letting the guest inside.
"Come in. I must say I wasn't expecting you, Georgia."
Georgia reddened, realising that she should've taken into account that Constance could be busy.
"Oh I'm sorry! I'll call back another time."
"Nonsense, come inside and have some tea." Constance said eagerly and Georgia did as she said.
They sat in her kitchen and poured two cups of tea.
"So how are you Constance? It's been a couple of days since Halloween." Georgia asked politely and sipped her tea gratefully.
Constance kept smiling.
In a strange way, Georgia was starting to be like the daughter Constance wishes she had. That's probably the reason why she was so adamant about Michael not hurting her.
"Oh I've been fine. Not doing much really, what about you?" Constance replied.
"Well, I seem to have made friends with the Harmon family. Tate's left me alone. So I guess I'm good." Georgia grinned.
Constance's smile wavered at Georgia saying what she did about Tate, knowing it was probably too good to be true.
"Just watch out about Tate, Georgia." Constance warned.
Georgia nodded, turning solemn.
"I will. Just a thought of him coming back to see me would scare me half to death."
"And death is one thing that house does not need any more of." Constance muttered and the two just sat in silence and sipped their beverages.
Georgia looked into Constance's eyes and saw they were full of concern.
The girl wished she hadn't mentioned Tate because of how it was affecting her kind host.
"I'm sorry for bringing him up Constance." She apologised sadly.
Constance shook her head.
"No don't be, I'm glad you're keeping me updated."
"Georgia, can I ask you something?" She carried on sheepishly.
Georgia's eyebrows raised.
"Sure, go ahead."
"Were you comfortable with Michael coming to your house yesterday?" Constance asked.
Georgia took a moment to think about it.
"Yes. I know you said he could be bad but since my mother's always away and I hardly ever see Moira, I liked having someone over so I felt safe from harm." Georgia admitted.
Constance put down her cup of tea and set her hands on the table.
"I don't think Michael will hurt you so if you ever want to come over and make you feel more at ease then I'm fine with that. I was just asking because I don't want him to cause you any problems." Constance stated.
Georgia nodded and understood why Constance would be worried about her son seeing her. To be honest, Georgia herself was worried at first with him visiting her. She had no clue of he was safe or not. But after yesterday she thought how Tate wouldn't bother her if she wasn't alone.
"Okay. Well I'm going to go back home now. If you want to let Michael come over then that's fine with me." Georgia said and stood up.
"Nice to see you." Constance smiled.
"You too." Georgia said just as nicely.
