janet has taken the children to Disney land for the week and Michael is at the studio making arrangements to start the recordings for his documentary. It's strange being home alone but it's calm and relaxing, its a nice day outside so I decided to hang out under the blossom tree, my favourite tree on the whole ranch. I was going through twitter until lilly rang.
"hey lilly what's up?"
"not much I got something to tell you"
"what is it?"
"mom is back in the area and wants to see you" my heart stopped
"how do you know she's in the area?"
"she came around ealier"
"you let her into your house" it was quiet on the line and I heard another voice in the background "did she say yes?" it was my mother,
"lilly"
"sorry about that mia was talking to me"
"don't lie"
"I'm not"
"I know that wasn't mia"
"it was"
"stop lieing to me, just before you rang she posteda tweet saying she's atthe beach and you're ringing me from the house phone so stop lieing"
"ok, it wasn't mia it was mom"
"how long have you been in contact with her?"
"erm...a few months" I'm trying my best to hold the tears in
"I know you're lieing so tell me"
"I never stopped"
"stopped what"
"I never broke contact with her"
"you what!"
"em I'm sorry"
"you lied to me all these years, I can't believe you"
"em let me explain"
"go on, explain"
"I couldn't drop her she's my mother, yes she made mistakes but she's clean and have been for over 10 years. she wants to make it up to you she didn't mean anything she done back then and she regrets it deeply"
I let the tears escape "she's a drunk and drug user she always will be"
"she's really sorry I kept in contact and forgave her so why can't you?"
"you don't know the half of it lilly, she never got her boyfriends onto you"
"what you mean?"
"that night I came up covered in blood and I said I had a accident at the skating park, I didn't I was on my way home and Darren and a few friends was walking home as well and they joined me but then they beat me up because I wouldn't go to the shop and by alcohol for mom, they said if I told anyone they would kill me. mom never made you feel worthless and made you not want to look in the mirror because you didn't like how you looked"
"em, she's really sorry and I know she used to beat you but michael forgave Joseph so why can't you forgive mom"
"woah woah woah, don't you dare bring my husband into this"
"it's the truth through em, I'm your sister please listen to me and met mom and mom tried to met you years ago but she got escorted out of your studio by security"
"thats cause i don't I told them when I employed them that if my mother ever comes in to get her escorted and sisters don't lie to each other"
"em I'm really sorry but I wanted to tell you a long time ago but you was still hurting from it and what if this was you and and Paris what if you wanted to see her and she didn't?"
"stop bring my family into it, I don't do anything to Paris that mom did to me" I put the phone down on her and placed my head in my knees, I couldn't stop crying how could she lied to me all these years saying she don't want to see mom again when all along it was a lie. all the flashbacks started to appear in my head and even more tears escaped, I was still upset but now angry after all the flashbacks finished playing in my head it wasn't my fault dad left I was so angry that he left and as a results my mom took it out on me and now wants to start again. she always said I wouldn't be a professional photographer and I would just end up in the local restaurant, I went through a time where I wanted to actually be a teacher but I wanted to prove to myself that mom was wrong and I will become a professional photographer and I done it, I proved her wrong. I felt a pair of arms around but I ignored it.

I get home and Emily isn't here so I assumed she went to the studio or something, I was on my way to the zoo when I heard crying I turned around and seen Emily under the blossom tree. I ran over and wrapped my arms around her and she didn't respond "emily what's wrong hunny?" she lifted her head from her knees and then hugged me and cried even harder in my neck, I ran my hand through her hair "shh, it's alright I'm here" she slowly stopped crying looked up at me.
"she lied to me all these years"
"who?"
"lilly"
"what's she done?"
"she never stopped seeing mom, and now mom is with her and wants to see me" she started crying again, I wiped her tears away and pulled her into another hug, how could lilly do this to her she knows how emily was effected emotionally and physically after her farther left and I'm not sure if she knows about darren but after what they done I couldn't believe emily still out up with it, she's such a strong person. her phone kept flashing with texts off lilly I looked at the screen '26missed calls - lilly 15 messages -lilly' I kept hugging emily then her phone rang emily lifted her head,
"stop contacting me" then she out the phone down and turned it off.
"come on let's go inside" she got up and held her hands out to help me up. we headed to the family room and out in some movies.

me and michael was cuddled up on the couch watching click, someone knocked on the door and michael went to answer it.
"what do you want?....of course she's not ok.....no...just leave please"
"let us in" lilly shouted, I got up im so angry hiw dare she shout at michael. I walked towards the door and shouted at lilly as I was approaching the door " don't you dare shout at him" I got by the door just as I finished my line and there I saw the face I never wanted to see, my mother. she haven't looked like she's change.
"emily please let us in" lilly pleaded
"michael said no and I also say no" michael wrapped an arm around my waist
"emily please I'm sorry for lieing"
"I don't want to hear it, so leave before I call security up here to get you to leave"
"emily don't speak to your sister like that, say sorry"
"no Mary I will not say sorry you used to tell us not to lie until you turned into a monster"
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to I shouldn't have done all the things I done to you I wasn't a monster I was just depressed"
"no you was a monster, I was so scared to get out of bed in the morning in fear of what mood you would be in and wondering where the next bruise would be. even when you was sober you would reel me in then throw me away asking to look at my photos and saying you love them and that I will be world known photographer and I would get really happy then you would laugh in my face and go 'you believed me, you're never going to be world known in anything let alone photography you will just be down the road at the restaurant' so don't put the blame on the alcohol and drugs cause even when you was sober you was still a monster" tears started to stream down my face.
"I think you two should leave now and don't come back" michael said
"no emily I'm your sister and mom is sorry"
"just leave both of you and never contact me again I want nothing to do with you ever again."
they walked off and got back in the car and drove off, michael closed the door then we went back to watch the movie.
