The drive had been fun; we spent most of the time listening to music and making up new lyrics for the ones we couldn't remember while lubi slept in the back seat.

I could tell mom wasn't happy to go back, so I tried my best to make her smile and pretended to be enthusiastic to go to live with grandma, which was true, although we only met for holidays she was a fantastic person and I was looking forward to spend more time with her.

The problem was Chance Harbor.

A small town with a population of three thousand people. My mom hated that place, and I couldn't blame her. Ever since she was born she had been destined to choose between the boys whom she had grown up with, get married, have children and dedicate her life to the town. Don't get me wrong, it is not like if it was a cult or anything like that; of course people could leave, but the ones who did where then considered strangers, even dangerous (as if they had some sort of plague and it could spread),so we were not exactly thrilled to say the least.

As soon as we got to our new home Jane came out to meet us.

"Hy girls! had a pleasant trip?" Did I imagine the hint of fear in her voice?

"It was ok, we are just happy we finally got here" mom said in a comforting voice. That seemed to calm grandma a little.

"Well, let me help you to get your things inside so we can talk" Jane said while holding me in a hug, she was happy that we were there with her and so was I.

The unpacking was easy. Neither of us had too much clothes or personal things which made the time to put everything in place much shorter. As soon as we finished we went down stairs for a cup of coffee. An awkward silence stood there until Jane broke it,

"So… Tomorrow you will start school?" She asked me.

I could see my mom's eye widen with reproach and grandma said,

"Well, do you have a better topic Amelia?" She was the kind who speak up, with not too much "Bullshit" toleration, just like mom and I.

Mom stood quiet giving her the reason.

"Yeah, I hope the teachers are good." I said with not too much conviction, and added playfully "I heard that the new English one is a bitch" while winking to Jane who laughed out loud when I hugged mom and smiled.

"You will have plenty of time to make jokes while writing the one-thousand words essay about pride and prejudice" she told me with an evil smile on her face.

"See what I mean?" I told Jane with fake horror.

We all laughed and chat a little more when Jane suddenly said,

"I´m happy you are here, I have really missed you both" The honesty in her words was so overwhelming that mom's face got full of emotions, she hugged her for a long time and then they both pulled me into a big hug. Despite everything she had missed grandma and was pleased to be now with her.

I didn't know about school, but things were looking good at home.
