Chapter 7

The limo pulled into a two story, white house with blue shudders. It reminded Tina so much of the house that her and Bette had shared at one time. It was part of the reason why she picked it. It felt like home. She felt like she was home for the first time in nearly 20 years. She smiled at the limo came to a complete halt. She shook her daughter awake form her sleep.

“Baby we are here. We’re home.”

Spencer nodded. This wasn’t her home and she wasn’t about to let her mother refer to it as that. She had been so open to this experience until her mother answer the question about the woman in her dreams. It made her mad the her mother would come back to a place that that woman could cause more trouble in. She wasn’t going to let that woman tear what was left of her family apart.

“This isn’t home. Home is in New York.”

“Baby please. For me give the drama a rest, this is our home now and you’ve got get used to that fact.”

Spencer got out of the car and slammed the door a little to hard. She immediately regretted it. She never acted like this. She was usually a sensible kid and this was not only scaring her mom, but she was scaring herself. She didn’t want to drift apart from her mom. She was her best friend and it hurt her that she was hurting her mother, but she reasoned that with her mother apparently didn’t care when she divorced her father and didn’t think about how she was hurting her. It had been awhile, but it still hurt like hell. The move didn’t help, and right now being in the same city as one Ms. Bette Porter probably still was just added salt to the wound. She walked into the house and picked out her room. It was only going to be her and her mother here, and the house was 3 bedrooms including the basement which was set up for a bedroom. She picked it immediately because it had it’s own exit and she figured that would come in handy eventually. She laid her things on the floor sat on the bed. She soon her foot steps.

“Baby is this the room you want?”

“Yes.”

“Look honey. I am sorry this is so new to you, but can we please make the best of it. I love you and I wouldn’t put you through anything you couldn’t handle. I know you will thrive through this. You thrive through anything.”

Spencer rolled her eyes.

“Whatever mom. I guess I am just still anxious about this all. You know it’s really knew. And not seeing daddy is going to be hard.”

“I know honey. But we’re going to make it.”

Tina pulled out an envelope and placed it on Spencer’s stomach. She picked it up and opened it and screamed with joy when she laid eyes on what was inside.
