Why Me?

Chapter 3

I don't know if it's just me but Friday's are the longest, probably because you're anticipating the weekend..actually I think Monday's might be the longest because you have a hell lot of time before the weekend. As much as I just LOVE school my feet were aching and my brain cannot take anymore Physics. Who even made all this stuff up and did they think that this would be fun for us? Boy were they wrong.

*2 hours later*

"YES i'm finally done with this stupid Physics assignment!"

*does a mini happy dance for about 30 seconds*

"Shit! Dinner, I forgot! George'll be here in 20 minutes"

*rushes downstairs*

"Hey, where have you been I haven't seen you in a while?" Mom asks

"Maybe that's because you're always in your room sulking and doing god knows what in there, and if you must know I was finishing an assignment..you know, because I still have to get an education and life goes on. Even after what happened to dad" I reply

"it's not like you even care" I mutter looking down

I'm so tired of my mom just dragging herself around. It's like she doesn't even notice i'm there anymore i'm pretty sure she hasn't spoken a word to me since Tuesday, and even then she was asking me to shut the door behind me after I was doing her laundry. It's not like she even wears them anyway she just stays in that dirty old robe of hers and her worn out bunny slippers that my dad bought for her 3 years ago. At least i'm trying to make an effort to move on and accept what happened to dad, she's still stuck in limbo.

"Do not speak to me like that young lady! I am moving on. Don't you see this house still here? Cut me some slack I lost me husband!"

"This house is still here because George pays the mortgage now and you can't find your way back to the office. Dad died almost two years ago mom. How long before people stop cutting you slack? And by the way I lost my father, so you can't play that card me"

Mom had me at a young age, she's still so young. She could have any man if she wanted, but she chose an asshole alcoholic who inappropriately touches minors. I don't understand. And the worst part is, she didn't have to move on so fast. Dad died only 2 years ago, and she wasted no time to start dating George and for him to move in. Why mom? You're so beautiful, you're so smart, you deserve way more than George. A whole lot more. This isn't you.

*Mom leaves for her bedroom and I go to the kitchen*

"Shit shit shit" I cursed myself

"George will be here any minute and he'll be so angry I haven't finished cooking dinner" I say

*5 minutes later*

Okay good the pasta will be done in a about 10 minutes hopefully George won't be back—

*A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts*

"Alexis?! Alexandria!?"

Alexis,my mom. if he calls me that one more time i swear

"Hey there beauty... wait, you haven't finished din—"

"Before you finish that sentence George the pasta is nearly done" I assure him

*ding!*

"see." I smartly say

*George sets his bag down and walks up behind me, squeezes my ass, and whispers in my ear*
