Chapter 16 - The Anderson's are here!

WATSON HOUSE -

Immediately the driver got home, he headed straight to the house to report what Ariana had told him.

"What do you mean by she's going to a friend's house?" Eva Watson asked irritated.

"Well... Ma'am she said you approved, that you sent her a voice note." The driver quickly replied, afraid he'll lose his job.

"Wow! It's seems she outsmarted me this time." She frowned.

"You may leave!" She said and hurriedly went upstairs to call her PA.

MASION HOUSE-

The driver pulled into the driveway as the car came to an halt. The two girls got down and headed towards the entrance, where Mrs Mason welcomed them in.

"Urm...you must be Ariana right?" She asked as Ariana nodded in response.

"It's really nice to meet you, you know Annabel never brings home friends...it seems you must be very special to her." Mrs Mason smiled as Annabel giggled awkwardly.

"Come in! I've already made arrangements for snacks, you can keep yourself busy in the main time." She said and led them into the living room.

"Make yourself at home, I'll be in the kitchen if you need me." She said and left.

"Wow! Your house is so lovely." Ariana said to ease the tension.

"Urm... thanks!"

"Actually I'm really sorry for the way I tried you earlier this week, I wasn't my usually self... I'd never done that before." Ariana explained.

"It's alright, I was just curious and...just let it be it's fine." Annabel replied.

"I'll show you were you'll sleep for the night." She said bas they both headed upstairs.

...

"So what you're telling me now is that you can't track her." Eva flew into a rage on the phone.

"Ma'am she turned off her exact location and her phone I don't... I'm really sorry ma'am there's nothing I can do." The PA replied nervous, waiting for her boss to fire her.

"Wow! That's really great, you all are incompetent fools...useless." She shouted over the phone.

"I'm really sorry but why don't we call the police to file a missing person's case ?" The PA suggested as Eva hung up the phone.

"I had underestimated her really good." Eva smirked.

"But there's one thing she forgot, if she can play the game, I can play it better."

"Mrs Watson! The Anderson's are here!" The maid announced.

"Let them in!" Eva said as she adjusted her clothes and put on a smile before walking back downstairs.

JAYDEN 'S ROOM -

"Joshua you need to leave, it's already getting dark!" I complained.

Joshua had insisted on following me home after school because he didn't want Ariana to see him on time but he can't stay here any longer, it's already getting late.

"Jayden please just a little more time, besides I can't go home but myself my driver already left." Joshua begged.

"But it's late already, can't I just wait the night and I'll leave first thing tomorrow." Joshua promised.

"Look! I know you don't want to ruin the plans you've made but you can't stay here tonight." Jayden stated as Joshua quickly stood up.

"I'll leave, I didn't mean to cause any trouble besides you've helped me a lot so thanks." Joshua said and was about to leave when the door opened, a little girl was standing clutching a paper on her hand.

"Hey there! How are you?" Joshua said as he picked her up.

"I'm fine, are you leaving already?" Rebecca asked as Joshua nodded.

"But I wanted to show you the picture I made." She poured.

"You can-"

"What are you doing here? I've told you many times not to come to my room." Jayden said in anger.

"Why do you always follow me around?" He asked angrily as he snatched the paper and tore it into two.

"Jayden! She's still a child." Joshua protested as he tried to calm the already crying child.

"No she's not! She knows what she's doing, she's just like her mother!" Jayden yelled.

"Joshua please take her out, I need to think and her cries aren't making anything better." Jayden said as he pushed them out and shut the door behind him.

"Hey! Jayden open up!" Joshua shouted as he banged the door.

"You said you were leaving so go!" He yelled back.

"Hey! Don't cry let's go get you something to eat." Joshua said as he wiped her tears.

"Why doesn't brother Jayden like me? Dis I do something wrong?" Rebecca asked.

"No! He's just in a bad mood, I'll take you to your mum."

WATSON 'S HOUSE -

"Welcome!" Eva greeted as the Anderson family came inside.

"It's been such a long time, we really do have a lot to catch up on." Mrs Anderson smiled as Eva nodded in response.

"Urm...where is Ariana? Is she upstairs perhaps?" Sara asked impatiently .

"Actually she's not home, she'll be joining us another time." Eva explained with a smile.

"Oh?" Sara sighed.

"Well Evan and is dad will be here soon." Mrs Anderson said to ease the tension.

"Yes and Alex must also be on his way too." Eva smiled.

"Yh! Let's go to the dinning area in the meantime." Eva said as she ked the way.

"You're new house is so beautiful! I really love the decor it's top tier." Mrs Anderson said.

"I've been nagging my husband to change the interior decor but he never listens." She stated

"Urmm... I heard about Evan?" Eva said as they made themselves comfortable.

"Well he's busy receiving treatment, he's almost done that's why the doctor said he should come out to mingle a little but I'm still scared." Mrs Anderson replied worried.

"It's fine! I know it's not easy, I used to have a rebellious daughter also but now she's changed." Eva said patting her friend's back.

"Not it's not the same, Evan became addicted to drugs, he started smoking and he wouldn't tell anyone what started it."

"We had to take him to a therapist and then the therapist said we should take him to rehab, I can't bear to lose my only son, he's all I have got, please Eva...please." Mrs Anderson begged as Eva comforted her
