Chapter 21

After dinner when the girls had all went upstairs, Stephanie received a call from Bayley's middle school, once the call was over Stephanie shouted up from the bottom of the stairs, "Bayley! Come here for a minute" before walking into the kitchen where Hunter was sitting at the Island on his computer, "I can't believe she skipped half of the day. She's knows how much trouble she's going to be in right?"

"Well I'm sure she does now" Hunter said in a monotone voice as he looked over his computer at his wife while she raise an eyebrow at him giving him a warning look, at least until the sound of slow footsteps came down "Go easy on the kid...at least until you heard her side."

Bayley slowly entered the kitchen with a wary look, already dressed in her pajama pants and tank top, "...Y-yeah mom?"

"I just got a call from your school" Stephanie said with her arms crossed, "Apparently you skipped half of the day"

"It was an accident mom I-"

"HOW DO YOU ACCIDENTLY SKI-"

"Steph...you said you would go easy" Hunter said taking a sip of coffee and typing away on his computer

"Fine" stephanie took a deep breath, "Bayley...tell me what happened"

"So I was waiting for the bus and I fell asleep" Bayley said simply causing Stephanie and Hunter to look at each other confused

"That's it? You fell asleep?"

"It-it's the truth...i was..uh..emotionally drained and I fell asleep" Bayley said kind of embarrassed, the girl alexa at her school had thought that she was badass because she skipped school when in reality she had just fallen asleep.

"Emotionally drained...from what?" Hunter asked folding his computer screen down slightly so he could see his youngest better

"Nothing...I was...I just" Bayley scratched her head not really sure if she should, or could, tell them about what she had felt when she was singing that song, "I wrote a song..and it was pretty intense.. Mean like..uh…"

"You wrote a song?"

"And then you fell asleep?"

"Okay I know this doesn't sound real but it is..it happened…" bayley said slightly pleading, "It was a really...serious... song...and it took a lot out of me"

"Ok well..lets hear it" Stephanie said causing Bayley to choke

"Wha-what?"

"Let's hear the song" Hunter agreed excitedly wanting to hear how his daughter's music was coming along

"No" Bayley said quickly, startling Hunter and Stephanie, "I mean...I can't..the song was kind of personal….something I kind of wanted to keep to myself"

"You don't get to keep things from us Bayley, especially not when it causes you to miss half a day of school" Stephanie said seriously as she walked up to her daughter and lifted the girl's chin so they were looking eye to eye, "You can either tell us about the song or you can sing it...or you can be grounded for the rest of your life like your sisters"

Bayley pulled her head away slightly, looking at her father and mother slightly afraid..she didn't want to tell her parents about Carmella, at least not right now, "I can't...I don't...i'm not ready to tell you guys yet…"

Stephanie raised an eyebrow at her youngest not really sure what she was talking about but saw tears slowly filling the young girl's eyes. Stephanie sighed and placed a hand on Bayley's shoulder, "You..you don't have to tell us Bayley...but you know that we are always here for you. No matter what. For now you'll have to have me or Hunter take you to school, no more waiting for the bus on your own so this doesn't happen again alright?"

"So..am I grounded for life?"

"For this...no" Stephanie said giving a small smile, "But don't let it happen again or you will got it"

"Thanks mom" Bayley said with a large smile before hugging her mother tightly, happy that she didn't push her to talk about the song

"You're welcome..now head off to bed" with that Bayley said good night and ran upstairs leaving Stephanie and Hunter to themselves.

"That was nice of you...you once grounded Sasha and Becky for missing curfew by a few minutes." Hunter said slightly surprised

"I know..but did you see the look on her face?" Stephanie said slightly worried about her youngest as she moved to sit down next to her husband, laying her head on his shoulder as he went back to typing, "She's dealing with something..and she said she can't tell us"

"No...she said she's not ready to Steph. Give her some time, you remember how hard it was to be a kid"

"Yeah maybe when i was Charlotte's age but at Bayley's age….the most I was worried about was which headband matched my outfit the best" Hunter laughed at this, "I'm serious Hunt...you know how much these girls have been through and they are growing up so fast...I just want them to have their childhood. I get that sneaking out and partying comes with that but drinking...keeping secrets...I don't want that for our girls...at least not yet. I want them to talk to us, to tell me when something is wrong so I can just fight it or protect them from it."

"I know babe" Hunter put down the screen of his computer again and turned slightly to face his wife as he grabbed her hands in his, "They're my baby girls and I want to protect them with my whole soul….and we can ground them for drinking and for sneaking out and for keeping secrets all we want but that won't change the fact that, if something is really bothering them...they won't come to us until they're ready. We can't push them, we have to support them we-"

"Yeah you were really supportive when you found out about Seth and Sasha" Stephanie said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes

"That's different...she just sprung that on us and I don't like that boy for her"

"You don't like any boy for her"

"Hey I can keep as many boys away as I want, that's my job"

"And it's my job to know what's going on with my kids. Bayley missing school and keeping secrets, Becky, Sasha and Charlotte sneaking out to that party and-"

"Well Becky didn't go to the party"

"No she just let Dean stay the night in her room after curfew" Stephanie said with a knowing smirk causing Hunter to frown, remembering that information, "Not to mention sasha and Charlotte drinking"

"Ok I get your point but still...we'll talk to them about the dangers of drinking and you can have...t-the..you know.."

"The talk?"

"Yeah that and then we show them the repercussions of their actions...other than that there's nothing else we can really do. They'll come to us when they're ready" Hunter said leaving the two in silence for a while as Stephanie watched Hunter worked. She knew he was right, most of the times he was even when she didn't like to admit it, "You know I love you..right Steph. I want you and our girls to be happy more than anything."

"I know" Stephanie said giving a a goofy smile as he placed his head on hers, leaning their foreheads together as their lips were only inches apart, "I love you"

Hunter smiled and kissed her, "I love you" he smiled and kissed her again, "I love your smile" again, "Your eyes" again, "Your personality" again "I love you"

Stephanie laughed thinking back when they were younger, Hunter had said the same things to her once when they dated, again once they were married, and again once they had adopted Bayle, and each time he said it Stephanie knew it was more and more true. Yet she still laughed because she always remembered, "You remember how long it took you to say that...to say you loved me?"

"Too long"

"And you only said it because…"

"Because i..I thought I was going to lose you" Hunter said with a sad laugh as he let his hands dance around hers, "To Kurt fuckin' Angle no less"

Flashback

A sixteen year old Stephanie Mcmahon stood in front of her locker wearing a white blouse and skirt as Hunter leaned against the locker beside her dressed in a black t-shirt and jeans with a pair of goggles on his head as he talked about something his best friend Shawn Michaels had done over the weekend, "And then he ran through the whole mall naked..just to get me these goggles"

"Yeah that's..funny" Stephanie said rolling her eyes as she opened her locker causing a folded up piece of paper to fall out and land at her face

"What's that?" Hunter asked as Stephanie picked up the note and opened it

Roses are red, violets are blue, i never thought of love until I met you

"Did you write me a poem?" Stephanie asked looking at her boyfriend with a raised eyebrow

"What? No!" Hunter said seriously as he snatched the paper and read it for himself before crumpling it up and tossing it in the trash can a few feet away, "Who's writing you love letters?"

"I don't know..I didn't see a name, and I can't check because you threw it away" Stephanie said before reaching into her locker and exchanging her books, "I thought it was from you"

"No way...that was a piece of crap and Triple h doesn't do sappy love poems" Hunter scoffed as he pulled the pair of goggles that he had on top of his head down to hang loosely around his neck

"I don't know I thought it was pretty sweet" Stephanie said before closing her locker and walking off to class with Hunter following behind her.

When the two got to their biology Stephanie quietly took her seat at the two person table while Hunter went around talking and joking with other kids that filled into the class before taking a seat beside her with s dorky grin on his face, "Why are you wearing those ridiculous goggles still?"

"They're cool..Shawn got them for me...babe I told you this whole story at the lockers. He streaked for me to get these"

"Aww..how sweet" Stephanie said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes, "You'd think that you two are the ones that are dating"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Hunter asked confused

"Nothing it's just that you've spent more time with Shawn then with me lately and I've even heard you say.." Stephanie paused and began to do her Hunter impersonation, "i love you man"

"So..he's my bro and he got me these goggles"

"Yeah well I've given you a lot more and you've never once said you loved me" Hunter stared at her in shocked as he choked slightly on his own spit, "What..do you..not love me?"

"No babe..i mean yes I do"

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"Then say it"

"Say what?"

"Say you love me"

Luckily for Hunter, Mr. Ramon started class and began to explain a frog dissection that the class would be doing next class in pairs of two. At this news that class began to pick partners, each person moving to sit beside their friends while Stephanie sat in her seat staring at Hunter still waiting for him to say he loved her.

"Oh..Hunter...Stephanie, we have an uneven number of students, I'm going to have Kurt pair up with you two" Mr. Ramon said as he placed two packets of information down in front of them before moving on to the next pair of students.

"Hey Steph" A short boy called out wearing a red and white hoodie and blue jeans, "looks like I'm your partner"

"Our partner" Hunter corrected as he glared at the way Kurt stared at stephanie,he had known that the boy had a crush on his girlfriend since they were in middle school even though Stephanie was probably oblivious. He was the one who had probably wrote that dumb poem too, "you better be lucky I don't pummel you into the ground..or make you sit in the corner and let us handle this. Everyone knows Angle has a weak stomach when it comes to this stuff"

"I do not" Kurt said as he checks flushed with embarrassment

"Really..I thought the last time we were dissecting that pig you threw up" Hunter said laughing

"That was only because I had tuna for lunch that day and the smell made me nauseous" Kurt protested causing Hunter to laugh louder until Stephanie hit his arm and hushed him

"Oh come on Hunter let him help" Stephanie said but saw the unsure look in her boyfriend's eyes, "please?"

"Fine, but you better not screw us Angle"

Kurt nodded at this and pulled up a stool to the end of their table while Stephanie looked at one of the papers they were given. As kurt got situated he reached for the extra sheet but Hunter snatched it away giving him a death glare before he looked over the paper. Stephanie rolled her eyes at his actions and turned her paper so he could read it before stating, "So we have to cut open the frog to examine it's internal organs and the chambers of its heart"

"We have to cut open the frog's heart too?" Kurt asked

"what ..don't got the stomach for it?" Hunter asked with a smirk

"No..i can handle it"

The rest of the class was the groups reading over the packet and answering questions about the parts of the frog to prep them for the dissection. By the time class was over Stephanie had a headache from kurt and Hunter's arguing and was ready to leave. The bell rang and the class started to empty out as Hunter, Stephanie and Kurt were the last to leave. As they stepped out into the hall Shawn called out to hunter.

"Hey babe, I'll see you tomorrow the guys and I were gonna hit up the new arcade off Peach Street" hunter said before placing a kiss on her lips, "i'll call you"

"Oh..okay. Well….I love you" stephanie said with a look in her eye waiting for him to say it back as she didn't let go of his hand

"You too" with that Hunter ran off down the hall to catch up with Shawn and two other guys leaving Stephanie by the lockers outside the class door.

"He didn't say it back" Kurt said as he walked up behind her, "That's gotta be harsh"

"Hunter's just Hunter...he doesn't know how to express his feelings"

"What feelings...that guy is a walking robot that doesn't care about anyone or anything...I seriously can't understand why you're with that guy"

"Kurt" Stephanie said slightly offended

"Sorry...but you know I'm right..he'll never say it back. You shouldn't be held hostage in a relationship that's going nowhere because he won't let it progress" Kurt said before giving her a small hug, "I want what's best for you Steph..I'll see you tomorrow"

The next day when Stephanie opened her locker there was another note, and the day after that, and the day after that. Each note being different but still expressing the mysterious person's affection for her. However the last one was more of a letter than a poem. It claimed that the person had felt this way for a long time and her boyfriend would and could never lover her like they would and that they wanted to go to the Prom with her.

"What a load of bullshit...Kurt's gotta get over himself and stop writing these. They're fuckin' creepy Steph" Hunter said with his mouth full as they sat together at lunch looking over the notes

"Kurt?"

"Yeah..he obviously has this huge crush on you" Hunter said rolling his eyes before looking around the cafeteria to spot Kurt and smirk, "I think it's time I taught him a lesson"

"Wait Hunter don't-"

Hunter got up from the table and passed by where Shawn, X-pac and a kid Hunter called Road dogg, whispering something into Shawn ear causing him to laugh before the four of them walked to where Kurt was coming from the lunch line with his tray of food.

As Kurt saw the four walking toward him he immediately gulped and tried to turn and walk about but X-pac and Road dogg cornered him before Hunter came and shouted out, "Attention...attention everyone….it has come to my attention that old Dork Angle has developed a crush..on my girlfriend"

The cafeteria quieted and kids started to stare at the group of boys as Shawn took Kurt's tray and set it down while Hunter grabbed Kurt by the collar of his blue button up shirt, "Not like she would ever...ever, go out with this loser, but he had the balls to ask her out to prom. Now she's too nice to say no...so I'll say it for her"

Shawn took the tray and began to dump it down the back on Kurt's pants causing everyone to immediately start laughing while Stephanie stared in shock. Once all of the noodles and vegetables from lunch where in his pants Hunter spun Kurt around and began to give him an atomic wedgie causing a noticeable stain on the back of his tan, khaki pants.

"Don't forget the milk" X-pac said before opening two cartons of milk and dumping them on Kurt's head making everyone in the room to laugh even louder than before as Kurt stood there with a wedgie, food in his pants and milk all over him, his face was red from embarrassment and he turned to run away before Hunter stopped him and grabbed him by his collar

"Woah milk boy..where you going...if you're going to ask my Stephanie out then you gotta do it face to face. If you're really a man, not behind some dumb love letter." Hunter dragged Kurt across the cafeteria and brought him face to face with Stephanie causing her to cover her mouth with both hands and pull away slightly in disgust of the smell and embarrassment from being put on the spot, "Go on..ask..ask my girlfriend to prom"

Kurt didn't say anything he just closed his eyes and covered his face in embarrassment until Hunter grew bored of the silence and tossed Kurt to the middle of the room where the lunch tables split in half leaving a large Aisle, "Never come onto my girl again"

With that Kurt ran off with the whole cafeteria laughing and pointing while Shawn and the boys came over high fiving Hunter, "That was so funny dude"

"Yeah you should of seen the look on his face when you gave him that wedgie" Road dogg said laughing

"Hunter..I can't believe you did that" Stephanie said angrily grabbing the boy's attention

"I know right..talk about romantic. I mean that was a huge statement in front of everyone"

"What are you talking about?"

"Well you want me to say..you know...those words and X-pac said that you really just want a grand gesture to show that I care about you..and what better way than to fight for your honor?"

"Fight for my honor? First of all you took advice from the druggie who's never even had a girlfriend?"

"I've had a girlfriend" he objected

"Your cousin doesn't count" Stephanie snapped causing the other boys to laugh before she turned back to Hunter, "And grand gesture? I don't want a grand gesture..i want you to say that you love me...and that was NOT fighting for my honor, you have mentally scared that boy for probably his entire life."

"But he was trying to take you away from me..he's knows that you're min-"

"I'm yours? Is that what you were going to say...Hunter you do not own me, especially when you can't be alone with me for an hour without bring up your little bromance with Shawn, let alone that fact that you can't even fully admit your feelings for me"

"I have admitted my feelings for you..this was me showing you that I care"

"I don't want you to show me like that….Just..right now in front of your friends tell me that you love me" Stephanie said in a low voice so that only Hunter could hear her as the rest of the cafeteria went back to what they were doing, "tell me...because if you don't love me Hunter then I will find someone who does...someone who is sweet and kind...and someone who isn't afraid to tell me that they love, because honestly I don't have the time or the patience to be stuck in a dead in high school relationship. I love you Hunter but if you do not love me back...tell me now"

"You..you would leave me?" hunter asked seriously, taking in the tone in Stephanie's voice

"I'll go to the prom with Kurt so fast you won't even be able to say my name again"

Hunter thought for a second before he grabbed her hands and placed a kiss on her lips causing X-pac and Road dogg to 'oooooo'

"Stephanie Marie Mcmahon..I love you...I love when you are so dedicated to something how serious you get and how your nose crinkles when you talk. I love your personality and how good you are, and how good you make me want to be. I love your beautiful smile and the way it gives me stupid butterflies in my stomach. I love your gorgeous hair and looks, especially your ass" hunter laughed causing Stephanie to blush with a big smile and hit him playful in the chest, "and I love you...everything about you"

Stephanie let out a slight giggle before wrapping her arms around his neck and placing a big kiss on his lips, "Now..one last thing...go apologize to Kurt...make it right"

"I don't think I can now..his reputation is probably trashed" Hunter said honestly, scratching the back of his head and looking to the guys who all quickly pretended like they were doing nothing when they were making kissing faces behind his back and pretending to be him, "What do you want me to do?"

Stephanie smiled and whispered an idea into Hunter's ear.

End flashback

"You would have never lost me" Stephanie laughed and kissed Hunter, "i love you too much for that"

"Oh really because you threatened to leave me if I don't recall for Kurt"

"It was just motivation"

Hunter smiled and kissed his wife again before thinking back on their high school years, "God I was a huge jerk"

"Yes you were, but you turned it around after that...I went to prom with Kurt and you two made amends and eventually everyone forgot about what you did to him..especially after you and Shawn embarrassed yourselves by streaking through the school to get people to stop talking about Kurt."

"Yeah..it was a little awkward sitting in the principal's office naked" Hunter laughed

"Yeah..and you guys were lucky to only get detention for a month"

"Lucky..we had to clean out the school dungeon" Hunter said causing Stephanie to smile and give him a small kiss before she pulled away and stood from her spot and walked behind him, placing her hands on his shoulders and placing a kiss on his cheek before reopening his computer, "I'll let you finish your work"

"I'd much rather finish something else" hunter said suggestively to which Stephanie laughed but kept walking

"Easy tiger..I'll still be here once you're done" she said before heading up the stairs leaving Hunter in the kitchen to work. Stephanie walked past each of the girl's, opening them to check on each of them.

Upon looking in to Sasha and Becky's room, Stephanie could see Sasha face down on the bed sleeping, with her mouth hung open snoring while Becky laid peacefully in her bed with headphones in her ears staring up at the ceiling. Stephanie knew that the girl's had no phones because of their grounding so she wasn't sure why the young girl had headphones in. She took a step further into the room gaining the irish native's attention, causing Becky to sit up slightly and smile at their mother. The girl's red hair standing out in the room's darkness along with her bright green tank top.

"Hi mom"

"Hi baby girl….why are you still up?" Stephanie whispered sitting down on the edge of her daughter's bed, careful not to wake up Sasha

"Can't sleep..Sasha's snoring too loud" Stephanie laughed at this, taking this as the reason for the headphones, "It's fine though..my mind is racing anyway"

"About what?"

Stephanie watched as Becky thought about this, there were waves of anger,frustration, confusion and sadness on the young girl's face that ate away at Stephanie as she sat across from the red head watching helplessly as the girl figured out what to say, "what do you do when this person...that you looked up to your whole life...isn't the same anymore?"

Stephanie sat their puzzled as she thought about what this had to do with anything. She knew Becky had never really had idols growing up other then her brother Shane, but the two hadn't talked recently so Stephanie doubted it was about him, "well….sometimes people change. You can't really do anything about that. Either you grow to accept them or you grow apart"

"But I don' want ta grow apart"

Stephanie sighed to herself, taking notice of her daughter's accent coming back meaning that this was really bothering her, "It's not always a bad thing...people change because they grow and they learn,,,you two may not be the same as you used to be. You can have different opinions, different tastes, different anything...but that doesn't mean that the old them isn't still there."

"Okay..well say...that now..this person is a total jerk...b-bu-but he didn't use ta be"

Stephanie was seriously confused now, "Becky is someone bullying you at school?"

"What...no..no..not me, but this kid that I knew he's bein' really mean to other people and especially Dean"

"Someone's bullying Dean..I highly doubt tha-"

"No..he's not like a bully...he's just a jerk"

"Some people can act that way because of how they were raised or what they've learned. Most people that are jerks have a certain mindset that they have to act that way" Stephanie said as Becky pulled her knees up to her chest, "You know your father used to be a jerk when we were in school"

"Really?"

"Oh yeah..he used to mess with this kid Kurt all the time"

"How could you be with someone...who was such a bad guy?"

"I loved him...and my love helped him change" Becky looked at her mother with a raised eyebrow not to sure about this

"I don't think love will really help me"

Stephanie laughed, "No..I guess not, but your friendship could. Think about how you helped Dean. Sure he still gets into trouble but ever since you befriended him, he seems like a much nicer boy. It can be the same with this kid"

"Dean was different"

"How"

"Dean wanted ta be a good guy...I don' ...I don' know if it's the same with this kid" Becky thought leaving the two in silence and after a while Stephanie didn't know if the conversation was over and she should leave or not before Becky finally started speaking again, "What if I have ta choose..between him and Dean?"

"Why is this kid so important to you?"

"I knew him when I was in foster care in Ireland..he was my only friend and he protected me from the bullies before he got adopted"

Stephanie stared with wide eyes, surprised at this new information, "From Ireland?"

"Yeah, I talked to him and we caught up and he was sweet but then Dean came and he started actin' weird" Becky said sadly, "What if I have ta choose?"

"Well I can't tell you what to do, but I will say this, anyone who has to act and pretend to be someone else whenever he's around other people had got to be hurting inside. Try and talk to him about it, tell him that Dean is your friend, but Becky…..if it's not meant to be then it's not. There are other people out there, people that care about you no matter who they're in front of..remember that" Stephanie placed a small kiss onto Becky's forehead before whispering goodnight and then moving to Sasha's sleeping form and doing the same.

"Thanks mom" Becky said as Stephanie waved and closed the door behind her.

Stephanie shook off that weight of that conversation before moving to Bayley's room, opening the door to see the girl already asleep on her bed with her guitar hanging loosely in her hand and a notebook laying under her face in danger of becoming stained with drool. Stephanie slowly stepped into the room, avoiding the mess, and took the guitar from her youngest's hand and placing it in it's spot in the corner of the room before moving back to the bed. She slightly lifted the girl's head and took the journal, making note of the worn cover as she examined it. It appears that her daughter had fallen asleep while working on her songs. Stephanie thought back to the song that Bayley claimed was too emotional to talk about, as she held the journal in her hand. She could read the pages, find out what was troubling her youngest...but then she would be invading Bayley's privacy. But what if Bayley was in some sort of danger? What if she really needed her mother and just couldn't say anything? This might be her only chance to find out what's going on.

Stephanie stood there for a second thinking on what to do when she remembered her conversation with her husband downstairs, the girl's would tell them when they are ready, just as Becky had, Bayley will to. On her own time. Stephanie closed the book, not reading it, and placed it onto the dresser beside the bed before pulling the blanket up over Bayley and straightened out the girl's messy hair as she placed a kiss on her cheek. She stood there for a second more before she turned around and headed to the door to leaving, however she stopped as she heard Bayley mumble.

"Thank you"

Stephanie turned back around with the door cracked slightly open letting the light shine into the room revealing Bayley laying there with one slightly red eye- probably from crying- cracked open, "What?'

"Thank you….for not reading it"

Stephanie smiled and nodded before exiting and closing the door behind her letting out a breath of relief. She hadn't even noticed that Bayley had woken when she moved the notebook, and Stephanie could only imagine the fear the youngest felt when she held the book in her hands. What if she had read it? That could've ruined her relationship with her youngest. Stephanie thought about this before once again shaking the weight of that conversation off and heading into the last room to check on her oldest.

However when Stephanie entered the room she noticed that the bed was vacant, so she stepped further into the room before noticing the shadow on the floor on the other side of the bed. Stephanie walked to the other side of the bed and saw Charlotte sitting there with her feet resting against the wall and her head laying against the bed, "Hello"

Charlotte looked at her mother with a laziness that she had never seen from her daughter before startling Stephanie. The oldest didn't respond simply laughing, more to herself as she looked down at the ground and played with her fingers. Stephanie sat there confused, as she watched her oldest wave her hands back and forth on the ground staring intensely at them for what seemed like forever before Stephanie spoke again, "Charlotte...are you feeling alright?"

"...Never better" Charlotte said slowly, "But I want to be alone"

Stephanie looked at her oldest confused, not sure as to why Charlotte was acting weird, "Charlotte why are you sitting on the floor?"

"Thinking" Charlotte said simply

"About what?" Stephanie asked confused

"Anything..everything"

Stephanie nodded slowly before seeing that it was already almost 11, "I think you should go to bed…it's late" Charlotte didn't respond but the girl's head lolled forward and her eyes closed, "Hey..Charlotte...Charlotte come on"

When Stephanie got no response she became worried before she began shaking the girl only to finally get snoring in response allowing her to relax only slightly, "Charlotte it's time for bed"

Charlotte gave no response this time bed slowly and clumsily pushed herself up and onto the bed before rolling over and immediately falling asleep. Stephanie stared, with wide eyes at her daughter's actions, wanting to think the worse, but couldn't. Stephanie couldn't bring herself to think about everything that could be wrong with Charlotte at the moment. She had nothing but complete and utter faith in her faith and her choices, even after the party incident. Also there were no signs of alcohol..she didn't smell like alcohol or weed so Stephanie decided that the girls was just tired. This wasn't the first time that Charlotte had worked herself until she almost passed out. Once the girl had stayed up for the whole weekend, barely eating or sleeping because she was worried about her first day of school that Monday. Charlotte had a terrible probably when it came to stress and her anxiety had gotten a lot worse since her car accident with Hunter years ago. Even though Stephanie knew that neither of them would ever admit it but they were both deeply impacted from that accident, Charlotte's anxiety spiked and became a more recurring while Hunter every now and then would get nightmares of the car accidents, sometimes it was just replaying what happened he told her, but other times he said that the girls would switch and it would be Becky or Sasha or Bayley and sometimes even her.

After a while of watching Charlotte sleep Stephanie closed the girl's books and placed them onto the girl's desk before she kissed the girl goodnight and headed off to her own room for bed.
