Theresa's eyes went dark, "Be careful with the way you talk to me. I am still your mother."
Serenia's eyes narrowed, "How did you know that I was living by myself, mother?"
Theresa hesitated, "Your father told me."
"No, he didn't. I didn't even tell him. In fact, I didn't even tell him that I worked here!"
Theresa sighed, "Fine, I came here looking for you. I ended up finding you at school and following you."
"That means you got here just seconds before I did, but that doesn't explain how you found out that I was homeless."
Theresa looked guilty, "I asked around and found out about a girl who was homeless. It didn't take long to figure out that it was you."
Serenia frowned, "Great, I was being followed and didn't even realize it."
Theresa sighed, "What is going on, Serenia. Please tell me."
"It's not like you care," Serenia glared, "I have tables to take care of."
She ran off to another table and asked them what they wanted, ignoring her mother the whole time.
Theresa stayed the whole time, until her shift was over. Serenia walked out the door without so much as another word to her mother. Theresa had to run in her high heels in order to catch up to her, "I'm sorry. Maybe running off with another man was not such a good idea-"
"Not such a good idea?!" Serenia turned angrily, "My dad loved you, and you decided to be selfish and leave your family for another man?! Were we not good enough for you?"
