(Lola's pov)

Hi guys, it's the old chapter I updated before but it's just that I added few more words because when I published it those words got deleted that's why it was not making sense when you first read it

Shout out to @geegervy

      Mom's in the house this morning, I can hear her yelling orders at some people. Gosh I hate mornings, there is almost nothing good about mornings.

   "Lola honey" my mom called walking to my room as I could hear the clicking of heels coming closer.

    Then Mom walked into my room dressed in her version of casual in a red silk tan top that made her deep tanned skin shine, it was tucked into a high wasted jeans, Jimmy Choo kitten heels on her feet. Her long brown hair plaited into cornrows which was styled into a little low bun, her red lipstick coated lips were pulled in a nervous smile but her hazel eyes however, stared confidently at me as always.

    "Mom?" I said more like a question than a statement.

   "Yes that's what you are supposed to address me as" my mom said replying me sacarstically but I ignored the statement and asked another question.

"What are you doing here?", Shaking her head, she answered my question with a question of her own

   "In my daughter's room?"

    " I'm sorry, it's just that I'm haven't seen you in two days" I said to my mom then she looked at me with a little trace of guilt in her eyes.

"Oh I'm sorry baby I've just been really busy with the line and your dad Is about to lunch a new product"

 she said hurriedly, the last part she might have been said by mistake because I saw the regret in her eyes after uttering it. I wonder what product Mom is talking about

   "Product?, no one told me"

"Um... I mean he wants to start making bicycles".

My dad only made cars  and early this year he started making motorcycles I don't know why though and that is why I then asked.

  "Oh why?" I was really surprised.   Dad has always made cars since forever, then he started making motorcycles earlier this year and now he wants to make bicycles. One thing I know about my Dad he always has a reason for whatever he does and he usually talks to me himself about things like this.

  "That's what I came to talk to you about", Mom said and all I could think  was, talk to me about what?, because I  keep hearing new things everyday, yesterday it was dad telling me about Mom's new line and today it's this.

   "Talk to me about what?" I asked exactly what I was thinking because I'm totally clueless, Mom sighed and started.

"Lola darling, it's your final year in high school and we don't want you to keep hiding in this shell you've been living in throughout highschool".

      Mom said making a gesture towards my outfit  "This is not how you were before, you don't even have friends again" Mom continued and then I became defensive .

" I have friends, I have Edward and Chloe" I said.

    "Lola Edward is your boyfriend and Chloe is your only friend and she doesn't dress or behave like you" Mom said her nose scrunching up like it does when she's annoyed, I'm officially hurt. I understand I've changed but does she have to comment on it every time making me feel like I'm being selfish.

     "Dear you have lived literally all of your highschool life hidding from the world" Mom said again, I didn't even know I was already crying till I tasted the tears on my lips

   "Our Lola used to be more lively, always waiting for the next Fashion Week, trying out new things, going on vacation to different places, she had lots of friends and a busy schedule but now all you do is hang with Edward or sometimes Chloe. The reason I want you to walk and the reason your dad want to make a new product and hopefully have you in the bicycle ad is because he is hoping we could continue our lives happily and not the sad cycle we are currently living in and we also want you to have a memorable last year of highschool. The name of the new collection is LoLi, it's a mixture of yours and your brother names and it would make me really happy if you could do it Lola".

      Mom turned away and left but before that I saw tears drop from her eyes. It hurt rembering the past and all it took away from us, I was still sobbing when my phone lit up and it's a text from Ed. I remembered we were having a date and decided not to let my mood get ruined so I stood up to go and have my bath and get ready for the date.

        As a result of the little chat I had mom I decided to dress a little bit more than I usually did and I should really give Edward the pleasure of seeing his little old girlfriend in something other than jeans and an expensive baggy T-shirt.

        I decided to wear a short floral dress and my favorite pair of Fossil heels and instead of straightening my hair I just decided to leave it in its natural curly form, I looked at my reflection in the mirror and I knew the girl I saw she looked like a girl I knew Three years ago.

      I didn't put any make up on so I put on some lip gloss so my face doesn't look too bare then I took my purse I got for my fifteenth birthday. Now I was ready to go on my surprise date— my, my Edward is going to be surprised.

"Dad" I called walking down the stairs, I haven't heard his voice this morning and dad was always talking whenever Mom was around, two lovers catching up on the time they missed together when they were working.

      I then heard dad's rushed voice coming towards me from the dining room, then I saw him rush toward me with a briefcase in his hand and toast in his mouth; it seems like he's in a hurry to be somewhere but he stopped walking more like striding and he was looking at me.

"Princess?" my dad called like it was a question, he stood staring at me, then my mom walked to where he was standing and she started smiling brightly at me. All of a sudden dad's eyebrows shot up like it does when he remembers something.

    "Oh ladies I need to go and Lola you look beautiful" dad said and gave mum a kiss on her forehead then he kissed my forehead too and with that he hurried out. Mom was smiling at dad hurrying figure then she turned to me with the smile still on her face she said

    "Lola honey you don't know how happy it makes me feel to see you looking like this, I can't even remember the last time you put on lip gloss. Since we moved to San Francisco you've stopped putting any effort in looking good and you started wearing those baggy and T-shirt and black jean, I feel relieved to see that you listened to what I said and I feel like you are finally coming out of your shell".

Mom said and I smiled but I did not reply with any words of mine so mom just gave me a long hug. With smiles on our faces we let go of each other then I told her.

   "Mom I'm going on a date with Edward today and I would stay over at  his house tonight" Mom looked at me with one of her perfectly drawn brows up.

"No young lady you would be back at ten tonight no buts" mom said refusing to let me sleep over at Edward's, I'll be eighteen in two months and mom is behaving like I'm still a child

    "Mom I'm just sleeping over because we would be out late" I tried to make her accept but mom said

    "Be back by midnight and that's final" I don't agree with this being final so I plead because it's my only option 

"Mommy please, prettty please" I said making my best imitation of a puppy's sad face then mom agreed, just then Edward entered into the house dressed in a T-shirt and Jeans and he wasn't wearing his,  glasses today so I could his beautiful green eyes very well today.

   "Hello Manuella" he greeted my Mom and she gave him one of her warm smile

  "Edward! It's been a while, how are your parents ?"

   "They are great" he said."I am here to pick Lola up for our um... date"

"Sure, have fun you two" Mom said still smiling, then Edward looked at me and said

"You look stunning" I could feel my ears get hot and If not for my olive skin I would have looked like a Tomato.

"Shall we" Edward said and I nodded with that we left.
