Second Chance

Chapter eighteen

I'm thinking'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
I'll just keep on making the same mistake
Hoping that you will understand

Scarlett's POV

Weeks passed in a blur for me.It was  hard for Grace at first but she later got used to it.It was also hard for me Grace was a pain in the ass whenever it was time to go home every Friday evening. There was one time she went to hide and I couldn't find her till I looked at the CCTV camera in the house. Simone even told me that we should there permanently but I refused.I knew it was Grace that told her to tell me and Grace can not always have what she wanted.

Grace and I were currently in our house and I was braiding her hair while she watched TV. It turns out Grace favorite Disney cartoon was Moana,I can't even remember the number of times she has watched that cartoon,she was always singing the song from the cartoon in the house.

Even though I hardly saw Mr Palmer,he was surprisingly good with Grace.Grace was always calling him her best friend and they were very close and she has become so mischievous and stubborn lately.

"Mama I have something to say."Grace said smiling.

"You do?"I ask and she nods her head in affirmation.

"Yes mama I have something I want to say."she grins mischievously.

"What is it this time Grace."she paused the cartoon and faced me.

"Mama you know that we are now living in Travis's house because of your work.so I told my friends that they could come there for a sleepover with me."she said smiling widely.

"That is ridiculous Grace,you can't tell your friends that without informing me first,if you want to have a sleepover,you can have it here not in Travis's house."

"But mama I told them about the pool and they want to see it,there is no pool here."she says with a frown

She always had to get what she wanted.

"You are not having a sleepover there Grace and that's final."

"I am mama,j am sure Travis won't mind,I am his best friend and if I talk to him he will let me bring my friends for a sleepover."

"You are being so stubborn Grace,you can't always have what you want,you are not telling Travis anything and if you do that you won't like the consequences."

'You are so mean to me Mama."she cried out."I am going to ask Travis and you won't do anything about it."

"Go to your room now Grace and don't come out till I say so."

"But mama."she protest."I am still watching Moana."

"Now."I shouted and she stomped out of the room.

Of all the characters in the world,she just had to have anger issues,she thought she finally had everything since I started working with Travis she believed that she finally had everything she wanted.

I desperately needed someone to talk to at that moment and the only person that I could think of at that moment was Samantha.
