Chapter 2
Previously:
Just then, the doorbell rang. Beth was about to go downstairs to answer it, when she hear Quinn's voice scream "It's fine, Beth, I'll get it. Go get ready!"
So Beth walked back to her bedroom to change, but before she made it inside, she heard a man's voice.
"Quinn, it's been too long."
O0O0O0O0O0O
Beth froze. Who was this man? How did he know Quinn? Beth knew that she should probably go and get ready, but part of her wanted to stay and listen in. She chose the latter, deciding that she was already ready, and that she could change quickly if she needed to.
Beth knew that if her mother caught her spying, she would be very disappointed, and she hated seeing her mother like that. So she came up with a plan. It was actually very simple.
Act like she just stumbled accidentally into their conversation. She just needed to act innocent.
Beth walked into her room, and changed quickly. She brushed her hair, put on a small amount of lip gloss, and put on her usual amount of light makeup. After looking in the mirror and checking her purse to make sure she had everything she needed, she headed out the door and downstairs.
Beth took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She had no idea who that man was, and why he was here. She didn't want her mother in danger. If that man knew where they lived, there was definitely something wrong.
Finally, Beth entered the living room, where she saw her mother, facing some man that she had never seen before. Neither of them noticed Beth walk in. Now was the time to act.
"Mom?"
Quinn and the man turned to face Beth. Quinn looked nervous and stressed, and when she noticed that Beth was in the same room as the man, she suddenly looked scared. Beth was suddenly nervous, too. Why was her mother acting like this?
"Yes, Beth?" her mother choked out. "What is it?"
"Who is this?" Beth asked innocently, looking at the man sitting across from Quinn. The man looked at Beth with curious eyes, and looked her up and down. She felt uncomfortable beng studied like that, but she didn't want to seem rude.
Quinn opened her mouth to say something, but the man beat her to it. "So Quinn, this is Beth?" He looked at Beth, and his expression softened. Beth didn't know why, but she felt like she knew the man.
"Yes." Quinn whispered. "This is Beth."
