Eliza parked into the driveway and cut the ignition, Lilian sat in her seat in silence, her eyes fixed to the front as if she was frozen,
"Aunt Lili?" she called gently, touching her shoulder, Lilian snapped out of her state and glanced at her niece before letting out a small chuckle, she got out of the car and made her way towards the house. She hadn't spoken a word since they left the beach, Eliza became concerned for her well being and her mental state, she watched her climb the porch stairs and leaned back in her seat, she shut her eyes and lets out a soft breathe
"Lord, please move for us, please just help Aunt Lili figure this out, remind she is not alone" she prayed in a whisper. She took out the keys from the slot and made her way into the house, she swung the door open and found Aunt Lilian frozen in the doorway to the living room, Eliza walked over to her and looked into the room to see her Grandparents and a man in a suit and tie, standing and looking straight back at Lilian.
"Who-" Eliza asked, looking at her Grandparents
"What the hell are you doing here?!" she snapped interrupting her, her fists clenching as her face turned red, Mr. Thompson frowned at her approach "Lilian Elizabeth Thompson, is that any way to treat an old friend?!" he exclaimed
she scoffed "an old friend?" she laughed dryly "is that what you told them?" she said shooting daggers from her eyes as she gestured towards her parents, he stared at her completely frozen as he tried to form the words in his mouth. She shakes her head completely baffled as she turned and stormed out of the house, Seth apologized to Mr. and Mrs. Thompson and rushed out. He ran up behind her Lilian, taking her arm "Lili!" he cried softly, she pulled her arm away aggressively "don't touch me!" she yelled, turning to face him "you have some nerve coming to my house, meeting my parents-"
"Okay! I get it!" he cried back as he held his hands up, "I know I messed up, I know I' m a total asshole".
"Language!"
they both looked to the porch to see Eliza and her Grandparents watching them, Seth apologized and looked back at Lilian "I know-"
"YOU DON'T!" she yelled, stomping her foot down. Eliza looked at her Grandparents "Grandma, Grandpa what about we go in and have some tea?"
Mrs. Thompson shook her head "no, that's okay"
"come on" Mr. Thompson takes her hands and ushers her into the house "let's give them some privacy"
Mrs. Thompson snorted as she was being led away "what privacy? The whole neighborhood can see, and hear them"
Eliza followed them in and closed the door behind them.
Lilian's nostrils flaring, her heart racing, she couldn't keep the tears from pouring as anger continued to boil up within her
"you know I understood the fact that you had to move but the fact that you didn't call me back when I needed you the most!" she lets out a dry chuckle "now that, that was messed up!"
"I didn't know what to say" he defended
"well s**t! Hello?! would be nice!" she cried lifting her hands up helplessly and letting it fall to her side, he shook his head
"it was just shocking Lili, I didn't know how to approach the fact that you were.." he paused as his eyes fell down to her stomach,
"what?!" she snapped "pregnant?!" she asked, placing her hand on her belly as she craned her head to the side, "did it bother you?! that I was pregnant with a living form within my belly of your doing"
"I-"
"I can't believe I broke my vow to God for you!" she hissed as she points directly at him, "I gave away my virginity to a jerk like you!" she sobbed as her body began to shake "I-I gave, my baby, away because of you!" she took in a sharp breathe as she tried to control her breathing, her lip quivered as she hopelessly gives him a last look and walks back into the house. Seth stands there as he reevaluated everything she said, he lets out a deep breathe and bents over in despair with his hands to his knees.
Ethan gets out of his car and watches Seth Bennett sob into his hands, he turns and looks up, freezing. He straightened up and wiped his face with the back of his arm, he looked down and began to walk towards his car,
"hey"
Seth looks at him, stopping in his tracks, Ethan gives him a stern expression "don't ever come back here again"
Seth stared at the teenager for a second and finally nodded, he got into his car and drove away with another failed attempt of redemption.

Amberly hushed Heather as they crept onto the schools premises, they looked around for security and nodded to each other for confirmation that the coast was clear. They quickly made their way to the parking lot and found Heather's car sitting alone in the dark, deserted parking lot, Heather pouted as she ran towards her baby and rubbed her metallic body with care "oh my baby, did you miss me?" she asked in baby voice, Amberly rolled her eyes "can we just get in?" she hissed. Heather shot her a frown and took out her keys from her pocket, they quickly got into the car and she started the engine which stirred up a lot of ruckus,
"ssh!" Amberly shushed worriedly as she looked around the parking lot for security, Heather ignored her and put on her seatbelt, Amberly gasped as she sees light approaching from the other side of the building, "quick! someone's coming!". Heather in haste, stepped on the pedal and did a three sixty turn and sped off out of the lot and onto the open road with a screeching sound.
Heather drops Amberly by her gate, "you sure you don't want me to drop you in?" she asks looking out at her
Amberly shook her head "no, it's okay, I'll walk up"
Heather nodded and blew her kiss with her two fingers, she drove off, yelling "see you tomorrow!", Amberly watched the car disappear into darkness, she lets out a chuckle as she questions her friendship with Heather, she didn't know why she enjoyed her company or the fact that she was a complete dare devil at times. She lets out a sigh and walks over to the intercom box, she pushes the button and asked to be let in. She walked up the driveway for about four minutes and sees a car parked up front, she approaches the door, only to have it be opened for her, she walks in and takes off her bag, giving it to the maid by the door
"where's Mum and Dad?" she asked softly
"they're in the drawing room with the Olsen's" she replied with a kind smile, Amberly frowned "the Olsen's?" she asked back, the maid nodded and stood, waiting to be dismissed, Amberly nodded "thank you Hannah, you can go now" she answered. She made her way into the drawing room and sees her parents and the Olsen's couple seated at the lounge with their glasses of Champaign, Mr. Mason looks up and sees his daughter, he smiles and gets to his feet "Sweetheart!" he cried happily "you're back"
he gestures her over and presents her to the Olsen's "you remember Mr. Olsen and Mrs. Olsen?"
Amberly gives a small smile with a handshake, "wow, Amberly, you look so beautiful!" Mrs. Olsen complimented "you beginning to look more like your mother by the day!"
Mrs. Mason lets out a chuckle "yes, old" she jokes, the group of adults laugh humorously, she looks over to the piano by the corner and see's Rolland by the window, he watches her with a smirk plastered on his face, Garrett the Butler walks in and announces that dinner was served, the adults make their way into the dinning room as Amberly watches her guest carefully with suspicious eyes. Rolland casually walks towards her with his hands in his pockets
"did you have a good day today?" he asked slyly, letting out a soft sigh
she frowned at his retort "what's it to you?" she snapped, he chuckled as he gave a shrug "just wanted to make sure you wouldn't fall over any objects due to aftermath hallucinations"
"shut up!" she hissed, looking over her shoulder "you didn't see anything!" she spat, driving her finger into his hard rock chest,
he smirked as he looked down at her finger "you're right, Mr. Aims did" he says, folding his arms and taking a step closer "I wonder if Mr. Mason knows that his beloved daughter is dealing with m*******a" he turns away and begins to walk out, she grabs his arm, pulling him back "what do you want?!" she snapped in a whisper. He looks at her and smiles
"A date" he says, he paused for a second "no! several dates, I want you" he says confidently with desire in his eyes, she steps away with an expression of disgust on her face "what?!?!" she says, sounding out the "t". He grinned, shoving his hands into his pockets,
"you heard me".

Jonathan looked up from his math homework and looked towards his closed door "come in Rose!" he cried, he looked back down at his book and continued working around the equation in front of him, he frowned confusingly as the knocking continued, "Rose!" he cried, setting his pen down, "the door's unlocked!", he groaned as the knocking persistently continued, now more loudly and tenaciously as ever. He got to his feet and stormed towards the door, pulling it open. His eyes widened as he stared at the two people before him
"SURPRISE!" they yelled happily with their arms open, he stood speechless and clueless on how to react to the situation, he lets out a small fake laugh
"Mum, Dad!" he cried in fake shock
Mrs. Scott took him into her arms and kissed his cheek "oh baby, I've missed you!" she cooed, Mr. Scott chuckled tapping his back in manly manner. Jonathan stood frozen in his mother's arms, still trying to figure everything out, his mind crowded up with questions and a ton of cusses for Rose who was surprisingly M.I.A when he needed her.
