I couldn't stop replaying last night over and over again.
"Can I take you out tomorrow?"
No matter how much she assured me, I couldn't help but think it was a sympathy ask. Everyone feels sorry for the girl with the crazy, widowed mother.
I unlocked the door to my house, sighing as I looked around at all of her prescription pills laying on the floor. The exhaustion of the day was catching up with me and I still had to complete projects and my late assignments.
Some people aka school administrators and teachers don't understand that the grieving process never ends. They don't understand that sometimes you need a mental health day or week. Which is why I'm failing almost half of my classes.
It doesn't matter that much, really. I won't need to know how to solve a damn polynomial after high school. Plus, it's not like I'm gonna be able to go to college once I graduate. Dad already didn't have enough money saved for retirement. That and the money the government supplies hardly pays the old medical bills and the ones we still have.
Bending down, I sort out her pill bottles and place them on the coffee table. Another reason I won't be able to go to college. Someone has to take care of my mom, she's barely surviving as it is, who knows what'll happen to her if I leave.
That's the one thing I promised my dad; to always take care of her. And I wouldn't go back on that.
I headed to my room to get some work done while it was actually peaceful and quiet in the house. Not even thirty minutes later my phone buzzed and I saw that my ex girlfriend, Chelsea, had commented under my recent instagram post.

I scoffed as I kept reading over the words on the screen. Her illiterate ass. And just my luck, I hear the front door open and my mother's footsteps, I can never catch a break. "Novah! Come here!"
