"Mom?" I say, feeling my whole body deflate. Not does my mom seem to just know Douglas, it looks like they....have a "thing". I don't know if I should cry or puke.

"You should probably explain to her, Donna." Douglas says. Mom, no, she doesn't deserve that name, Donna, walks over to me.

"My dear Melanie, the day your father left and took you with him, it was the worst day of my life. I knew I had to get you back, you see. I DID love you more than anything. You WERE my little girl. I met Douglas here at the local Pizza Hut..." See if I ever eat at Pizza Hut again. They shouldn't let lunatics like Douglas and my MOTHER in. "And told him about you and your FATHER. He took me to his lab, where he did a bunch of computery stuff and...tada! Convicted your dad's company to fire him! I then convinced Andrew that you would be better off living with me until he found a job. Douglas sabotaged Andrew's applications so that he wouldn't get a job, because Andrew is very good at getting jobs." Andrew is my father. "That was the end of my plan. I never wanted to hurt you. I just wanted your dad to be alone like I was for all of those years. When you finally came I was so happy....until I realized that you were just like your father and hated my guts. You wanted nothing to do with me!" She says. "So this whole thing is your fault! When you became friends with the Davenports, a new plan clicked into place! I knew you would defend them because they were your friends. But then you became Chase's girlfriend and everything was even better. I couldn't be happier. And now..." She walks over to Douglas.

"We're dating." Douglas finishes for her.

"This is all your fault, Melanie. If only you hadn't hated me so." Mom-Donna says.

"No Donna." Her face drops a little as I call her that. "It's your fault. Dad didn't leave you! You left him! He loved you! He was so heartbroken, and so was I! Do you know how devastating it is for a girl to grow up without her mother? I got older and realized what a jerk you really were. No good person abandons their family, Donna. But you aren't good, so I guess that doesn't faze you. And then I come to Mission Creek to live with you. I was mad because I had to move and because I had to live with the mother that abandoned me when I was only 4. I hate you, Mom! I HATE YOU!" All the rage that I've kept secret about my mom these 11 building up is exploding. "I only had one picture of you, Mom! And Dad hated when I looked at it because it made him so sad! You barely wrote, and the only things you sent me for my birthday were savings bonds for college and boring gray socks! What 4 year old wants money she can't even spend and socks without Hello Kitty on them? So, if all this is somewhat my fault....then I guess it's my fault." Normally in life that would be when the upset daughter would walk off, but in this case I'm stuck to a wall with a dangerous weapon pointed at my head.

Donna turns to Douglas. "Douglas, ready the Elixonizer."

"You mean the blaster?" He says, pointing to a big, ugly, scary looking machine.

Mom rolls her eyes. "Yes! I just used its fancy name to make HER more scared."

Okay guys, this story is ALMOST done! I've been wondering if you would read a story if I were to make one. I don't exactly know how to end this, but if I want a sequel I will make one. Would you read it if I did?

Thanks!
