Jade's POV
"I really hope nobody is in the living room at the moment. God, please!" I prayed desperately in my mind as I got home, after school.
I trudged through the front door, feeling exhausted and emotionally drained. I just wanted to curl in bed and sleep away my worries. I didn't want to face anybody after what had happened in the morning, at breakfast.
I had even ignored Andrew completely at school. Thankfully for me, we only had one class together so avoiding him wasn't really too hard to do.
I felt bad that I was hurting him. I also felt bad treating Raymond like that. He was just trying to be nice to me and my mom, but I knew I had to do what I needed to do.
I felt pity for Raymond who had no idea of what my mom had planned for him, and thought he was in love.
