The Mask

CHAPTER 18

When Jennifer took a walk outside, Sharmaine saw her while she was walking and waved at her,

"Hi there Jennifer"

"Hi Sharmaine" she replied,

They went to a restaurant and had some fun but Sharmaine noticed how downcast Jennifer is, she asked,

"Jennifer is there any problem you want to say?"

"A Problem? No, I don't have any problem", she replied

"Come on Jennifer I know that look on your face, you have something bothering you," Sharmaine said,

With a sigh, she told her everything,

"It's all because of my parents, they always treat me as a child. They planned on restricting me even worse, they don't want me to go outside and meet someone, If that happens we will never meet each other again, I don't want that to happen, Sharmaine, you're my only friend" she said,

"Oh, is that so, you know your family is just thinking about your safety, I'm also like that when I was a child, I don't often agree to what my parents had to say. Just try to understand them." Sharmaine replied,

"I will try to talk to them, but it's hard because it's like they don't trust me anymore" she replied,

"You won't know if you won't try," Sharmaine said,

With a sigh Jennifer was convinced; they talked about so many things about how things were going. It's becoming dark outside, they finished eating and went outside,

"Alright, then I'm going to head back now. By the way, thanks for your time" Jennifer said,

"No problems, just say anything when you have any problem, see you around," Sharmaine replied.

Then she headed back to her parents, while Jennifer was on her way home she was thinking about what should she do in order to fix her relation and problems with her parents,

"How about I start by saying sorry about my action? Or maybe I can talk to them about our plans? I can't think of any things." She said to her

She sat down to the ground for a few minutes and tried to search for a solution, she saw a beggar near the lamp post. When a man passed by he pulled out something from his pocket, it was money, the man gave his money to the beggar,

"Thank you!" said the beggar,

"No problem." The man replied.

Jennifer had something on her mind,

"Maybe I can help them inside the house? And give them something that could make them very happy."

She stood up and went to their house. After a couple of minutes of walking, she arrived, she went inside,

"I'm back!" she said with a smile on her face,

She couldn't see anyone; she searched the whole house,

"Where could they be? Well, I should wait for them, I'll stay in my bedroom." She said to herself,

After she opened her bedroom door, something hatted her and then she lost consciousness and heard,

"I'm sorry".
