Mother and daughter as enemies Chapter 4

Mother and daughter as enemies Chapter 4

I was sleeping soundly when Chloe woke me 

  1. up

I’m hungry,she said impatiently. “Make me 

something to eat.” 

I checked the time. It was midnight

く 

The old me would have jumped up and made 

her favorite latenight snack

I always felt she worked so hard at dance

burning so many calories, so I never said no 

when she was hungry

But tonight, all I wanted to do was sleep

I rolled over, closed my eyes, and said 

nothing

Chloe stormed out, slamming her bedroom 

door

A few minutes later, I heard her yelling, Fine

Starve me! See if I care!” 

I ignored her and went back to sleep

I don’t know how much time passed before

was shaken awake again

It was Chloe

Her face was a mask of disbelief. You really 

didn’t sign me up for dance camp?she 

shrieked

It was registration day. She’d gone bright and 

early only to find out I hadn’t enrolled her

I rubbed my eyes. Didn’t I say you could 

decide?” 

Chloe stared at me, like she was seeing me 

for the first time

Seriously?” 

く 

I shrugged. Did I sign you up last time you 

came back from your dad’s?” 

She was speechless. What are you playing 

at?” 

I smiled, but didn’t answer

I’m just respecting your choices, I thought

I’m not wasting my money anymore

Chloe huffed. Fine, then give me the money 

you saved. Dad’s birthday is coming up.

want to get him a Burberry coat.” 

My heart sank

Seventeen years I raised her, and I never even 

got a Happy Birthday.” 

く 

Her dad hadn’t paid a dime in child support

and she wanted to buy him a Burberry coat

I didn’t set aside any money for dance 

camp,I said coldly

Chloe stared at me, then said angrily, You 

think you can control me with this? I’m not 

going to give in.’ 

” 

If I hadn’t been so young and naive when

was born, I would have chosen Dad.” 

If I’d grown up with him, I’d be so much 

happier.” 

He wouldn’t control me and force me to do 

things I don’t want to do.” 

I laughed to myself. If you’d chosen your dad

く 

you’d probably be stuck in some trailer park 

somewhere

Chloe rolled her eyes. Whatever. I’m going 

out

وو 

Wait,I said, stopping her

She gave me an Iknewit look. See? Your 

true colors are showing.” 

Since you and your dad are so close,I said 

calmly, “why don’t you call him over? The 

three of us can talk about transferring 

custody.” 

Her eyes lit up. “You mean it? You won’t 

back out?” 

She dashed to her room to call him before

could change my mind
