How to be a Good Girl

Part 54

I'm still home.

I can't go out.

School ends the next week, I think.

Marcus will come back tomorrow.
I reckon he doesn't know about my situation. I mean... I'm trynna look happy in our video calls. But sooner or later, he'll figure it out anyway.

Mia and Leah supported me a lot.
I told them about it this morning.

They got sad too.

Well, I'll get used to it. But I'm not ready for neither college nor a relationship.

Doorbell rang.

I opened my eyes.

I was lying on the sofa, holding a bottle of water. The TV was still on.

It's night?

I looked at the window and I saw the sun shining behind a couple of clouds.

It was noon.

The house was quiet.

I wasn't feeling cozy.

The atmosphere is different when you're alone.

Doorbell rang again.

I stood up.

Sneaking out, I went in front of the door.

I wasn't scared.

I was just... afraid of other people.

If you differ from others, you're judged.

Doorbell rang again.

Me; Who is it?

No one answered.

I opened the door slowly.

Mum; Surprise!

I didn't smile.

Well yes it was such a big surprise.

It was my mum.

Not my step mother, of course.
My real mother.

Me; What are you doing here?

She was kinda shy.

Mum; Um... Can I come in?

I was still shocked.
I nodded quickly.

She sat on the sofa and, closing the door, I went closer to her.

Mum; Sit.

Me; Mum it's been a lot of time since we-

Mum; Yeah I know.

Me; What are you doing here?

Yes I was kinda annoyed.

She didn't reply.

Me; You remembered me now?

Mum; You know that YOU were the one that you didn't want us together!

Me; So what? I regreted, okay? The other woman was much worse! When dad died I was alone with her!

I started crying.

Mum; Sweetheart-

Me; No wait I didn't finish. I changed, mum! I smoke, I do drugs, I-

Mum; You didn't change. SHE changed you.

Me; Yes but... I'm not a good girl mum. Lately, I've been trying to but-

I stopped talking and she wipped her wet eyes too.

She was sad.
