Mum knew that I had been fighting, and wanted to know what had happened. I froze. My heart flew out of my chest as icy shivers dripped down my face, she could never know the truth, it would kill her. Little did she know I was only trying to protect her, she couldn’t know that everyone knew her biggest secret, it would consume her, make her vanish from existence. As much as I love my mum, I would never follow in her ways, the twisted secrets and broken friendships, it was not a good way to live, but I guess it was her way.
I’m not sure if you’ll like it or what year/grade your in do what’s appropriate but I hope it helps :)

She borrows the necklace from her friend then loses her necklace and spends years paying off a necklace that was not worth a lot
