Jezamine brings Raven up to the room and cleans her up to get her ready for bed.
"Want to go shopping for the masquerade party?" Alissa comes in and asks me.
"Sure," I reply. I walk with her the two of us start to go shopping. She buys me a bunch of makeup and then we head to get dresses.
(Picture shall be shown later)
We get in the uber and I go on my phone. More hate.
'Did you know her mom was arrested?!'
'Who says she isn't like her mom?'
I'm not like my mom. I'm not like my mom. I'm not like my mom.
"Everything alright?" Alissa asks. I smile and nod.
"Yeah, everything's great," I reply. Then we get back to the house. We all get ready for bed and sleep. The next day, we all wake up and Alex, Aj, and I get ready for school.
"You can go ahead today. Aj and I are going to have a little talk," Alex says, giving Aj a small glare.
"Alright...." I reply, walking out of the house and heading to school. As I walk to my locker, I hear laughter and I see people whispering and pointing. I head to my locker and there's a note.
'She's probably a rapist like her mother'
What? That's not the case. How could people say that without even knowing the true story. I rip the note down and throw it away.
"Hey, you okay?" I hear Jax ask.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I lie.
"Oh yeah," I say, remembering the masquerade party.
"Jake is having this masquerade party thing and he wanted me to invite my friends," I say, handing him the paper.
"Awesome!" Jax smiles. A little while later, Aj and Alex arrive.
"Hey," they smile to me.
"Hi," I reply. Then we head to class. Aj and I just get to sit back and relax while the class learns to dance.
*Timeskip to the Saturday*
(I don't want this chapter overflowing with pictures so imma just put them for Vivian, and have the masks only for Alex and Aj because they're just gonna wear simple black suits)
I wake up and head over to Raven.
"Hey kiddo," I smile to her. Then I do my morning routine. I bring Raven down and feed her some baby food.
"So, when's the party?" I ask Jake.
"Like 4:00. Neels is almost here. His flight just landed." Jake informs me. I nod and continue feeding Raven. I eat my cereal and Jake is vlogging.
"What is up Jake Paulers? So today we is going shopping for the party. So let's change into something fresh," He says. Then he shakes the camera, stops it, and darts upstairs to change. Then he runs back down in different clothes. Then he records and shakes the camera again. Haha. Behind the scenes action. Then he calls the other boys and they all head to the cars. There's a knock on the door. Then a second later, its open.
"Hey Neels!" I greet as he walks in. He gives me a hug.
"Hey kid. So I'm taking care of the little munchkin today?" He asks.
"Yeah. She started crawling by the way. So be careful with the baby gates," I say.
"Alright. And I heard what happened with your mom. I am so sorry," he says.
"It's alright. I guess she was just crazy," I say. He nods.
"Well. I'm exhausted. I'm gonna take a nap. Wake me up when you leave." He says.
"Have a nice nap," I tell him. He stalks off into his room. I finish eating and just go on my phone for a little bit.
Then I just start remembering what my mother told me. 'I did that for reasons'
What reasons? I grab my stuff and get out the door. I walk towards the facility in which they're holding her.
"Hi, may I speak with Roxanne Nguyen please?" I ask the lady at the front.
"Yes. Please sign here," she says, handing me a safety waiver. And then a log that proves that I came in. She leads me to the room that my mother is in.
"Hello mother," I say, sitting down. I feel a mixture of safety and sadness as I see her handcuffed to her chair. After all, she was my mother.
"I knew you would come sooner or later," she says.
"You don't seem that angry at me for putting you in here," I point out.
"I'm not angry. I'm more of concerned about you," She says.
"Concerned about me? Why?" I ask her.
"Because of the reasons I was telling you about," she says.
"What exactly are those reasons?" I ask her.
"Why should I tell you?" She asks, playing with her nails.
"You aren't handcuffed?!" I ask her.
"Oh, I am. I just know how to get out," she smirks.
"Then how come you haven't killed me?" I ask.
"How could I ever do that? You're my daughter," she replies.
"Mom...." I start. She looks at me and arches an eyebrow.
"I'm getting bullied because of you," I tell her. She stops playing with her nails and faces me.
"What?" She asks.
"They're saying that I'm just like you. They're spreading rumors about what you did. Why do they do that if they don't even know the whole story?" I ask.
"Sweetheart.....this is why I kept you away from the kids. This is why I never let you have any friends. This is why I isolated you. Because people at your young age could really hurt another. This is what I always feared for you," she says.
"Why did you hurt me?" I ask.
"Because......because of your father," she says, suddenly. I was about to say something when the door opened.
"Alright. Times up," the cop says.
"Can I please just have a few more minutes?" I ask.
"I'm sorry. Let's go," he tells me.
"I'll be back, mom," I say.
"I'll be waiting," she smiles. Then the cop escorts me out. I start walking home and just think. I ponder about everything she's done. About everything she said. What does my father have to do with this? My dead father.
I walk into the house.
"Where'd you go?" Aj asks.
"I was just around," I smile.
"Well Alissa wants you to go up so you guys can get ready," he says. I go upstairs and Alissa, Tessa, and Erika are waiting for me.
"Alright. Go hop in the shower and we need to start getting ready," Alissa commands.
"But it's only 1:00," I say.
"Exactly! If you were here 30 minutes ago, we would've been on time!" Tessa smiles.
"You're joking right?" I ask.
"Nope," They reply. I roll my eyes and head into the shower.
-Nobody's POV-
"The boys are gonna go ahead of us," Erika says.
"Why?" Alissa asks.
"So then we won't know what they look like," Tessa explains with a smile on her face.
"Why do I think that Jake did that so two certain 15 year old get a chance to dance together?" Alissa asks, smirking.
"Oh, that's the plan," Erika smiles. Then the door opens.
"Do any of you three know how to tie a bow tie?" Alex asks, holding out his tangled mess.
"Duh," the three say in unison.
"Told you," Aj whispers to Alex. They proceed to tie Alex's bow tie and Aj's tie.
"So...where's Jez?" Aj asks.
"In the shower." The girls reply.
"Jake wants us to get there an hour early for some weird reason," Alex says.
"Probably so you can greet the guests. And because Jake needs to do a bunch of last minute stuff," Alissa says. The two nod and walk out. Eventually, Jezamine comes out of the bathroom with her hair in a towel, wearing the white robe that the three other girls put in there for her (so basically matching the other three).
"Alright. Let's start on nails," Erika says.
"Why didn't you guys start while I was showering?" Jezamine asks.
"Now that you mention it, that's pretty smart," Tessa says. Then, since the party's theme is black and white, they painted each other black and white nails. Tessa turns on music as the girls wait for them to dry. It's around 1:30.
(Dear everyone, it's very hard for me to keep track of who I did mention and who I didn't so if I type about someone I haven't mentioned before, my apologies)
||The boys||
"Why'd you guys get your ties tied? It's only 1:30," Lucas points out.
"Because the girls are gonna be all busy later so might as well get it tied now," Alex explains. Then, all the boys just say on their phones while the girls were getting ready.
"Wanna mess with the girls?" Jake smirks.
"How so?" Aj asks.
"Taser," Jake says.
"I'll go," Emilio says.
"Me too," Marcus says. Then Jake hands them each a taser and sneak up to the girls' room. Jake opens the door and they 'attack'. The girls scream out of surprise. The boys start to 'threaten' the girls with teasers, making them run around.
"Stop it!!! You guys are going to mess up our nails!!" Alissa laughs. Then, Alissa 'accidently' trips Aj. Causing him to fall over and land right on top of Jezamine.
"Sorry," he breathes.
