I knew it. I knew that somehow in their deranged ways, they were going to shame me about my daughter. Lydia was absolutely wrong, I shouldn't have even considered it.

The wind blew harshly while small portions of rain began to pour. I held a good grip on Ariella's hand when finally on the third ring she answered. ''Juliet?''.

''Alice come pick us up''.

''No Lydia''. I got up and went to the kitchen and took out a spoon, twisting the knobs on the faucet to run it under cold water.

''Juliet no matter what, their you're parents. Maybe inviting you is their way of trying to make amends'' She stated as she scopped her finger into the cookie dough flavored ice cream.

''Well their attempt has failed. I'm not going and I don't want Ariella anywhere near my so called family''. My bare feet slapped against the floor as I walked back over, handing Lydia her own spoon so she can stop dipping her fingers.

I was scrolling through movies to rent for the night as she spoke. ''Please just go. You don't even have to stay for the whole night. Just for like an hour and you can leave''.

My option of movie choices landed on The Boy Next Door.

''Whatever'' I mumbled before clicking play.

''So I have grandparents and an aunty?'' Ariella questioned while I zipped up her dress from the back.

''Yes'' I confirmed.

''How come you never talked about them mommy?''.

I shrugged, fixing her messy bun. ''You never asked''.

''Are you two done? It's Thanksgiving not a Quinceanera'' Alice remarked from the hallway whereas we were in my room.

I ignored her and pat Ariella's shoulders. ''Let's go''.

The engine was still going while the car doors slam shut. Ariella ran up to the front porch excited, leaving Alice and I to have a minute to talk.

''If anything goes wrong, call me and I'll rip somebodies throat out for you'' She reminded.

I nodded. ''Will do''.

I took my head out of the passengers window, letting Alice drive off down the slightlt wet pavement.

I turned and followed after Ariella who was waiting for me right in front of the door. I took out my hand for her to grab and while she did, I was mentally preparing myself for the worse.

I took a deep breath before reaching out to ring the doorbell.

''Wait!''.

I looked down at Ariella to see her hands up to help initiate me to stop what I was doing.

''I wanna do it'' She stated. She stood on her tippy toes and rang it herself.

Not a moment later my mother answered the door.

She gasped. ''You came''.

She was grinning from ear to ear as she pulled me into a hug. She released me after a moment and looked beside me.
