James was sitting behind a bush. "It's Serenia." he said, still not believing it was truly her this time. After all of his hard work to keep her safe, and it was all for naught. Now, he was stuck on what to do. Any move he made could be detrimental to Serenia.
Suddenly, he heard a car pull up. "Shit." he thought.
If someone came now, Larry might be in a rush to kill Serenia. He looked back at his dad. Larry seemed to be stuck in his own little world, oblivious to what was going on around him.
James snuck out of his hiding place. Serenia noticed him and pleaded with him with her eyes. It nearly broke his heart.
A woman, dressed too fabulously well for Minnesota, climbed out of the car and hurried towards the lake.
Jame looked at the woman, "Who is she?" he thought.
"Wait, don't go down there!" he said urgently.
The woman looked at him as if he was nuts, and then she looked like she was about to mock him, "Oh, you must be James, right? Serenia's boyfriend!" she laughed, "I'm her mother."
James blushed at being called Serenia's boyfriend, but then he looked at her in shock, "Serenia's mother?" Serenia had never mentioned her mother before, and now he was meeting her face to face.
Larry looked up, "We have company." he pushed Serenia, who once again had to catch her balance.
Theresa looked away from James towards his father and then walked towards the lake, "What's the deal between you and my daughter?" she seemed angry as she looked at Serenia.
