My mom knocks and comes into my room. "Uh, hey mom.". I mumble quietly. She's silent for about 20 seconds, which was extremely awkward. "We need to talk." She suggests. I nod and allow her to sit down next to me on my bed.
I adjust my hair and suddenly my mom freezes. "KYLIE!" She shouts. I'm startled. What happened? "What mom?" I ask, concerned. "YOUR ARM!" She shouts. "YOUR WRIST!"
Oh no. She discovered my cuts. I knew she would at some point. She looked mad, just like I expected she would be.
She stared at me straight in the eye for what felt like forever. I braced myself for the lecture I was about to get.
She suddenly reaches out her arms and hugs me. The first time she's hugged me in months. "Sweetie! This is worse than I thought! I'm so sorry I haven't been here for you." She cries. I cry along with her. For a few minutes straight we are just hugging eachother and crying.
And crying.
I was crying tears of sadness and joy. It felt good though. I got my mom back.
