Finding Maze

Chapter 18

Miley Pov.

I sighed as I opened the door to my house. I yelled Jenna's name as I removed my heels and placed it near the couch. I sighed and closed the door when I didn't hear a response. She isn't home yet. I checked the telephone, which I do only when I know Jenna was away when she said she would be at home, and sure there was a message.

"Hey, Miley. I know I said I will be home early but I got stuck in a meeting... "

"So you can't buy me the packets of chocolates "I mumbled, as I removed as I got myself a glass of water.

"....So I can't buy you chocolates. I can see if I can find something in this office.... "

" but you don't want to"

"....but I don't want to, so I will buy you five packets of chocolates tomorrow. Sorry, love you bye " the voice mail ended. 

I sighed and went to my room, I was about to jump on my bed to enter into a deep slumber but before I could my phone rang. I stilled when I saw my mother's name as the caller ID.

I cleared my throat and attended the call. "Hello?" I called.

"Miley, Hi " she said, her voice sounded breathless like she was running around.

"are you okay?" I asked, slightly panicking.

"Wait, I have to hide " she whispered and there was a noise of panting and rustling and then dead silence.

" mom? "

"Yeah, I am sorry. I couldn't talk to you with the in laws in front of me eyeing my every move " she said, still breathless.

I chuckled, if there was one thing my mom and I had in common it would be our dire hatred towards Amar's parents. It wasn't one way either, his parents hate my mom and me too. I had seen my mom pull all kinds of stunts to stop visiting his in laws. But I guess she had nothing this time.

"none of the stunts worked, I see" I said sitting up on my bed

"Nope, nothing worked. It's creepy out here, They keep touching my belly in a way of touching Divina, but it's soo creepy I feel like they are checking if I am actually pregnant with Divina. They could be a voodoo doll holder. Maybe I can find some here in this store room "she said, I could literally see the frown on her face.

"Mom, if they are a voodoo doll holder, They won't touch your belly, they will use the doll to creep you out" I said, grinning at the wall in front of me.

"Point. Amar keeps leaving me here with them. It's so frustrating. Josh is the best, he is literally the best son I could ever ask for. Do you have any idea how much he defends me in front of them, and little Aria is a mini savage version of you. They are the only happiness apart from Divina who is yet to come. Anyways how are you? How is the new school going? "

It was weird to hear my mom talk more than three words to me. But I guess when people are away you really start to miss them and everything else just starts to fade away.

"I am fine, I guess, the school is fine. It's boring not much of entertainment" I said and because I couldn't take the awkward silence  "How is Josh? He really hasn't been calling me much"

"Your brother has been going through a break up, and has chosen solidarity as his mission" she said.

"Well, ouch, I better talk to him" I said frowning that he didn't call me.

"Good luck with that, he doesn't even allow me to talk to him" she said.

I hummed in response, not knowing what to say. It was awkward now, we spoke about all the topics we had common grounds on and now we don't know what to talk. I bit my lip and looked at the time. "Ah, mom, I gotta go. C-call me when you ahhh need a break from the in laws" I mumbled. "If you want to, that is"
