I held on my mom's arm as we walked to the door of Julien's house. I turned to look at my best friends who seemed to be discussing in the car. Ella appeared to be pissed at Julien. Mom didn't seem nervous while I was. I mean, those people in there were dangerous. I was not really fond of the idea of being inside of the same house as them.
"You're hurting my hand" my mother muttered. I quickly let go of her hand while offering a sheepish smile. "Don't be nervous, I'm with you" she reassured. I sighed then stood in front the door. My mother knocked on it while frowning. The door opened. We saw Julien's mother, Abby, who seemed to have just woken up. She was a beautiful woman. But unfortunately, she let herself go. Her eyes were red and there were dark circles under them. Her beautiful blonde hair was messy and the dress that she was wearing was stained everywhere.
