06. Consequences

I don't know what to say about this except there's a lot of time skips.

I hope you enjoy(:

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The car ride home was filled with silence.

My mom and mother blatantly ignored me while my younger sisters, and Bailey, slept peacefully beside me.

I already know what's going to happen once we get home.

Not even twenty minutes later my mother was safely pulling into the driveway and trying to wake everyone up.

Once Bailey and Isabella got out of the car I decided to carry Haley up to her bedroom since she's exhausted. Isabella and Bailey were practically sleepwalking their way towards the house while I walked side by side with my parents.

I hope that they're not too disappointed with me.

As we all enter the house Isabella and Bailey silently make their way upstairs, presumably to go back to sleep.

"I'll take Haley upstairs while your mom has a talk with you" my mother says as she holds her arms out for my younger sister

I sigh as I hand her to my mother. She makes sure to secure Haley on her hip before making her way towards the stairs.

I begin to nervously bite my bottom lip as I take a seat on one of our barstools. My mom leans her elbows on the counter as she stares at me with obvious disappointment.

"See, this is why I didn't want to tell you, I wanted to avoid that look" I say which makes her furrow her eyebrows

"Hanna, how do you expect me to react to this situation?!" She questions with an incredulous tone of voice

"I expect you to trust that I know what I'm doing" I say as I begin to furrow my brows

I expected to get yelled at, but I was not expecting this.

"Hanna, three weeks ago you came home crying because he cheated on you, how do you expect me to be okay with the idea of you two pretending to still be together?!" She asks with a furious facial expression

"I only did this so that I wouldn't upset his grandparents" I inform her

She sighs as she brings a hand up to massage her temples.

"I don't want you hanging out with him or his family anymore" she says

"Mom, I agreed to have dinner with his grandmother tomorrow!" I yell out incredulously

"Then tell her that you had to cancel" she says with a tired tone of voice

"This is so unfair-" I begin to rant only to get cutoff by my moms angered tone of voice

"Hanna, enough!" She whisper yells at me

I choose not to respond to her as I stand up from my chair and stomp upstairs, past my mother, towards my room.

As I reach my room I close my bedroom door behind me and lock it, taking note of a lightly snoring Bailey on my couch.

She could've just slept in my bed.

She does it all the time.

"Hey, can I stay at your house tonight?" I ask Bailey as she looks through my closet for something to wear
