‘Because we don’t know how to respond babe!’ Ma said, as she started to sit up. I followed her suit and so did Jules.

I was taken aback by the tone she used.

‘This is a big deal you know.’ Jules told me.

I shook my head and mumbled, ‘I know that. You don’t think I know that?’

Jules replied sympathetically, ‘Of course we know that, we just don’t really know what to say to you.’

Ma cut in, ‘You’ve only been going out with the guy for two weeks!’

My anger was rising; I didn’t really expect Ma to be taking this angle with me.

‘And?! I like him enough, so.’

She scoffed at me.

‘What the hell Ma! What’s your problem?’

‘How did you measure your likeness towards Damien? How did you know now was the time? Huh?’

‘I dunno Ma, it just happened! It happened and now it’s done and there’s nothing you can do about it.’

‘I can’t believe you’re so stupid Ana, seriously. I really can’t believe this.’

I stood up, pissed off at Ma for being so rude to me.

‘I don’t need to listen to this shit.’ I told her and started to walk out.

Ma got up quickly and pulled my arm around, my body soon following.

‘You do need to listen to this shit Ana, because you’ve just done some pretty big shit and I’m your wake up call.’

‘I don’t need a wake up call.’ I told Ma defiantly, our bodies inching closer out of anger.

‘Well you’re gonna fucken get one Ana!’ I shoved her away, willing myself away from her before I slapped her in the face.

‘Don’t look away from me Ana, you need to hear this. You just had sex with someone you’ve only known for two weeks. You hardly know the guy! What if he tells everyone?’

‘He won’t! He’s not like that!’ I yelled at her.

‘How do you know what he’s like? You hardly know him at all!’

‘I had sex with him, I think I know him a helluva lot more than you do!’ I pushed her away, not yet realising how much her words were really hurting me. This really was a wake up call.

‘Can you guys calm down please?’ Jules asked, quietly catching our attention.
