Not your typical baby mama

Chapter 118 Mona's Trick

"You think so? I don't think he'll be so irresponsible after last time", Stella voiced her doubts.

p Richard shrugged, not sure what to make of the situation. Amy also had a contemplative look analyzing the matter. She was not sure what the situation was between him and Mona; especially after observing them at the party, she was not sure if he was still with after the whole going missing fiasco.

"Maybe something happened. Let's wait to hear from him, I don't want to alert the authorities only for him to randomly show", Stella's annoyance was evident in her tone and her expression.

"Mm. Let's wait. And don't stress yourself over him, he's a grown man. He knows what he's doing. He did say he'll be responsible for his actions and decisions", Richard reminded.

And the three left the matter at that.

Meanwhile, Demi had just exited the school premises. She never really had friends except for Mona and the guys who supply them the drugs. So as usual, when she's alone, she plugged on earsets and played rock music as she strode home. The day had been boring without Mona. The thought of what she was doing made her sick to the stomach and she felt a pain in her heart. Mona always thought she was just joking when she expressed her dislike over Ian. The girl thought Demi was just being a typical best friend. Speak of the devil, Mona's name flushed on Demi's phone as it rung.

"So....", Mona begun sly. "How was school?"

"Just get to the point", Demi sighed.

Mona gave a coquettish giggle. "So, it seems I won't be able to go home tonight. Can you do that thing for me?"

"Are you for real right now? Your parents could catch me!!!" Demi was clearly annoyed by the request.

"Yet they never have. Come on! Please do this for me! I promise to grant you a hundred wishes after this."

Silence.

"Please Demi! Do this for me!!!"

Silence.

"The next batch of you know what is on me! I'll get you two times the usual amount!"

Silence.

"Guess how much I love you?" She started to sing to which Demi groaned in irrigation as she rolled her eyes.

"Fine! Just don't sing that song anymore!"

"Thank you! I love you! Bye! Muah!"she blew a kiss into the phone before happily hanging up.

Demi's face grew dark. All this because of that Ian. She didn't understand why her friend was so obsessed with the guy! Yet it was clear that the guy didn't want her as much as she wanted him. Mona never listened to this reason and clung to him. They were both mesed up and very wrong for each other.

Demi resumed her walk home. The sun was beauting down on her but she didn't mind. Her pace didn't change, the music still blasted in her ears, but her expression turned cold.

When she reached home, her older brother was passed out on the sofa with food residues around his mouth and a video game currently paused on the screen. Their home was full of clutter but she navigated her way through. Her mom was out back smoking whole her Dad was God knows where. He always disappeared in the morning and came back late at night.

She went up stairs to her room and took a backpack to pack a few clothes and of course a pack of weed. She was quick to shuffle back downstairs and went to where her mom was. The woman was still in her night wear and a shower cap.

"Mom, I'm going to Mona's for a sleepover", she announced.

"I thought she was grounded?" The mom asked without turning to look back at her.

"She is that's why the sleepover is there and not here", she said.

"It's a school night. Do it on the weekend", the mom rrefused.

"We have a project to work on and a ton of homework. She would come here if she could."

"Fine."

That's all she said before Demi left. Her mom was negligent towards her but always pushed for the school stuff. Demi went on her way, but first she stopped in town. She went to the public bathrooms and went on to change. She removed her piercings, her gothic makeup and clothes and changed into simple clothes that Mona would be seen wearing. Satisfied with the look, she went on her way.

Later that night, Mona's parents arrived home from work. They didn't bother working on dinner and simple went to bed.

"I'm going to check on Mona", Mona's mom said to her husband.

"Okay", he responded.

She went up and found the room was dark but could clearly see a silhouette under the sheets.

"Mona, are you asleep?" She asked.

"Mm."

"Alright."

"Did you eat?"

"Mm."

"Okay, goodnight sweetie."

"Mm."

And with that, the woman left the room thinking her daughter was sleeping. Demi felt she could finally breath after she heard the door close. Her expression darkened knowing the little things she could not help but so do for her friend. Until when could Mona's trick go on?

Meanwhile, Amy was still thinking about the day's incident. She had left the couple with Alex as she had caught a cab on her way home. Ian never came to pick her up. That was not surprising since he had been missing all throughout the day.

The moment she got home she hacked into the security cameras from the hospital to the ones that lead to his place. She saw the one where he stopped by the road for a bit. She couldn't see what he was doing. He stayed there a while before he drove off.

Odd.

She went on to watch as she caught the different footages that had caught Stella's car on camera and sure enough, he went home. Why? She had no clue.

Could something have happened?

While she pondered over this, her phone chimed again. She smiled when she saw the sender of the email but her smile turned into a grown when she read the contents.
