Chapter 3

Claire P.O.V

I sighed & layed down. Mom kissed me goodnight & left the room after that.

Stacey entered a while later, "hey" she greeted as she walked past me to take her toothbrush.

"Sharing rooms?" I asked her.

"Yep," she replied. "Be right back. Just gonna use the bathroom"

I nodded & she left.

I guess Kaylee must be in mom's room then, with her.

I looked around the room. It was orange in colour & fully furnished. It looked really nice with a single sized bed, a mini television, a cupboard & a small shelf of fairy tale books. Maybe it was Aunt Sara's daugter's books. Megan's only 5 years old.

"I'm back" Stacey suddenly called disturbing me from my thoughts.

She was wearing pink tank top with a black jacket & shorts?

"don't be silly, you cant sleep in that" I retorted.

"I'm not going to bed yet! I'm going back home to pack some stuff, dad is sleeping right? so I can slip in without being noticed" Stacey shrugged, taking a gum & popping it inside her mouth.

Seriously?! what is she thinking?!

"does mom know? what if dad is awake?" I asked her.

"dont worry so much! I'll be fine. & if I get caught its me not you"

Geez...She's totally bonkers.

"one more question, does mom know?" I asked again feeling really uncertain.

"...well, not exactly" Stacey replied biting her bottom lip nervously. "would you promise not to tell her if I got back safely?" she asked batting her eyelashes at me.

Gosh, I love her too much that it's bad "fine. But IF"

"Thanks! you're the best! well I've got to go now. Wish me luck!" Stacey said hugging me.

"ok, good luck" I called out as she slipped downstairs. Mom, Kaylee & Aunt Sara should probably be in their own rooms now so Stacey should be safe.

Stacey P.O.V

I crept down the stairs carefully fearing mum or Aunt Sara would go out of their rooms if they heard me. As I walked pass the kitchen, I heard footsteps. My heart stopped beating, who was it?

"Stacey?" the voice said in a confused tone. Oh no! I turned around to give Megan a weak smile

"Stacey, where are you going?" she asked looking at my attire confusedly.

"erm, im just err...meeting my friends, you know ...some meetings & stuff" I stuttered.

She looked at me then smiled. "oh alright, well have fun" she skipped off hapily to her mom's room.

Wow, that was simple, I could get use to that. If only mom's were that simple to fool. Hah.

~~~

I reached our house 15 mins later. It looked dark but mom & dad's room were brightly lit.

Maybe dad was doing some work? I crept in through the broken window & looked around. Dad hasn't clean up the house! It was still a dump! This was like the worst quarrel they ever had -so bad until mom left the house!
