Moving on

The following day, I wake up before Arron does. The sun is peeping in from the window. He looks so peaceful, and I brush my fingers through his hair. It's nice and soft. I decide to start my day, leaving him asleep; I get an Uber back home and head into the house. The only person up is Mom. “ I can smell that boy on you. What have you done? “ stunned Mom never speaks to me in this tone. “ I thought I raised you to behave with more respect for yourself. I hope you are being careful, “ she scoffs while heading out the front door. She stops and tells me to shower before Dad smells me, slamming the door shut behind her. I go upstairs quickly, turning the shower on, thinking of how Mom spoke to me. Maybe she was upset and took it out on me? After getting out of the shower, I go to Gaia and Torrine's room, excited to share news of everything that I've found out. I stop at the door. I can hear whispering from the room, torrine hushing Gaia. “ stop it, that is Lena's ex. You can't be with him
