Delanie pulled her into the house. The anger she had from the conversation with their father was boiling over. Demi cowered behind the door while her mother stomped outside to give the men a piece of her mind. “You filthy son of bitches you have no right to follow my daughter and terrorize her.” Before she was able to get closer the car sped away. Delanie walked back towards the house with her arms against her chest.
Once she was in reach of Demi, she pulled her in for a hug. Demi finally felt comforted and let the emotions seep out of her. “Mom, don’t make me go back there ever.”
Delanie rubbed the back of her head and kissed her forehead. “You won’t have to.”
The two of them went back inside of Maxine’s home. Victoria walked over to her while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Demi ran to her and hugged her tightly. The two girls headed into her room while Delanie made a call to Mitchell. His phone rang a few times before going to voicemail.
