That One Last Kiss Goodbye [ON HOLD]

Baby Photos

Chapter 6

Mitch and I headed into the kitchen to have some coffee ‘mom, this is Mitch; he’s a friend from school!’

‘Nice to meet you Mitch!’ my mom said with one of those cheesy attitudes! She is one of those mom’s! Sometimes I hate those times but at the end of the day, were mother and daughter! I started putting the roses in a vase and filling with water ‘so Mitch!’ my mom starts ‘how did you and EJ meet?’ oh god not that question! I start cringing. ‘Um, we got put as lab partners!’  Mitch lied; he looked over at me and looked at me ‘isn’t that right EJ?’

‘Yeah, that’s right!’ I said hoping up onto the kitchen bench and sat there waiting for the coffee to brew ‘one or two shots Mitch?’ I ask to get off the conversation

‘Two, thank you!’ Mitch said making himself comfy on the breakfast-bar stool. I started to pour in the coffee beans, and just sat there and watch the machine grind the beans into a dust substance. It felt like everything I was doing was worthless and had no meaning, I was starting to zone out on the beans until I felt my mom tap on my shoulder ‘don’t you remember how old you were in this picture?’ my mom was showing Mitch my children photos! ‘MOM! What are you doing?’ I grabbed to album out of her hands! I started to blush! ‘EJ! Give back the photo album now!’ I mom started shouting a bit

‘No! Mitch probably doesn’t want to see baby photos of me!’ I strike back I was getting a bit pissed at her!

‘EJ! Now!’ My mom was holding out hand asking for it back

‘No!’ I start walking off, out of the kitchen and up to my room.

‘EJ, back here now!’ Mom was getting louder and angrier each time

‘For the last time mom! No!’ I was walking up the stairs to my room. I slam the door to my room close so my mom would know I’m angry as well. Then I go in front of my bed and just flop down on it, still with the photo album in my hand, I look at the cover of the album all I could think is ‘burn it! Burn it now!’ but I would be grounded for a year if I burnt the photo album. I hear a knock at my door and I put the photo under my pillow ‘EJ? It’s Mitch!’ Mitch starts to open the door ‘are you okay?’ he asks

‘Yeah Mitch, I’m totally fine! My mom just showed you my baby photo’s’ I felt the anger growing bigger and bigger inside me ‘EJ, I think she just thinks that were a couple or something, I mean, come on! If I were a girl she probably wouldn’t show me then!’

‘Well, duh whenever I bring over a guy friend in middle school my mom would do this kind of shit! Ugh, I can hate her so much! I’m sorry for me and my mom’s actions! ’

‘It’s okay! I get it! You don’t need to apologize! I do all this kind of shit with my dad all the time! Do you need a hug?’ Mitch asks me!

‘Yes please!’ I reply
