When Jannessa decided to be excused from cheer practice today due to a sudden heavy headache, she headed straight home. She walked up the steps of her porch steps when her mother came out, her hands on her hips. "Your father wanted to say goodbye to you, but he had to get back to work. So he wants to have dinner with you sometime," her mother told her.
Jannessa froze and sighed. "Alright," was all she said.
Before her mother went inside, her mother stopped and looked at her. "Why aren't you at cheer practice?"
Jannessa dropped her book bag to her feet and crossed her arms in an insecure way. "I'm really tired and I have a lot of homework to do. The coach excused me," Jannessa answered.
Her mother just nodded and went inside. Before Jannessa went in after her mother, she just staid their for a moment, needing to gather herself together. What she wouldn't give to burst at her own mother...it took all the strength she had to hold her tongue.
