Y/n
"Y/n why are you never here?" My Mom asked me. "Your always with that Bryce kid" I could hear the anger in her voice, but she had no right to be.
She was always at work; 7 days a week. She's always out partying and getting drunk, leaving me home alone. So I am always with Bryce because he makes me not feel alone.
She always does this, fighting with me and trying to make me feel guilty and make her the victim. "Why can't you just spend time with me, do you not love me" and then I saw the glass of wine on the counter. She wasn't drunk but she had a glass or two, and when that happens she gets emotional and angry.
I usually don't say anything to her when she's like this, the one night a month she's home. "Y/n! Should I send you to live with your Dad?" I'd probably be better off there but my life is here in Orlando.
"Your never here!" She yelled again. I've had enough of this now.
"Oh so I'm never here!" I yelled. "I'm not the one who works all week and then goes out and gets drunk!"
"Oh shut up! I'm your mother!" She yelled back. "I'm an adult, I can do what I want!"
"You can't leave me to fend for myself all the time! So yes! I'm with Bryce a lot! Only because you won't step up and be a mother!"
"I am a Mother! I pay the bills around here and I put food on the table!"
"Oh please! By putting food on the table you mean leaving money for me to buy it myself. And just because you pay the bills doesn't mean your a good Mother!"
"Don't ever talk to me like that! What has gotten into you? Maybe your not such the Angel everyone thinks you are!"
"You! You make me like this, I love you and all but you have problems!"
"Oh I have problems! You think your so perfect because you have a boyfriend and everybody loves you! Your not perfect!"
"Of course I'm not perfect, Mom! I'm far from it but I just want you to realize that you need to step up!" I yelled walking towards the door.
"Where are you going young lady?!"
"Doesn't matter! I'm always gone anyway, right!?" I slammed the door and walked down the road of the street.
She has no right to say those things, she's the biggest hypocrite I've ever met. She can be gone all the time but I can't! She makes me so mad and it takes a lot to make me snap like I just did.
I kind of feel bad though. I mean in a lot of ways she deserved it but she's still my Mom. She just needs to be guided, she's lost. Or maybe she just needs to cut alcohol out of her life and work a little less. I just want her to be happy, but that doesn't change the fact that she makes me mad and need to work on some personal issues of hers.
Maybe I should have just lived with my Dad, he's a lot of fun but he's still a parent. But my life is here in Orlando, Bryce is here in Orlando.
Bryce has been with my through the tough times in my life, including my parents divorce. He was there through everything. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me, I don't know what I would do with out him. We've been dating for almost two years now.
I let out a sigh as I watched the sun get lower, turning the sky into a golden color. I made it to the pier that I went to when I was upset, sitting down and swinging my feet. The sun was lower than it was before now, going from a golden color to orange and pink.
I loved it here, it seemed to calm me down looking at the reflection of the sky in the water. But right now it wasn't working as good as it usually does. I just wish I didn't have a dysfunctional family.
"Hey" I heard the familiar voice from behind me. I didn't need to look to see who it was because I knew that voice. He sat next to me looking at the sky.
"What are your doing here?" I asked not taking my eyes off of the fishing boats in the distance.
"When you didn't answer your phone I kinda figured you were here" When I didn't say anything he put his hand over mine resting on the dock.
"Hey" He said softly "what's wrong?" My eyes met his and I sighed.
"I got in a fight with my Mom" I looked down. "She yelled at me for not being home when she's only home at most two nights a week. She just doesn't get it" Bryce listened as I rambled on about my Mom.
"I love her and I just want her to realize things, she needs someone to guid her, but I don't think it should be her seventeen year old daughter. Then she told me I should go live with my Dad, but I like it here. And she started yelling at me and turning things one me, saying that I think I'm perfect and she thinks just because she pays for things that she's a good mother and she not. She just makes me so mad"
"Well if you love each other then I think you'll work it out. Just have a mature talk with her when she's probably all the way sober" Bryce said moving closer to me and wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I sighed again and leaned my head on his shoulder.
"I just wish my family wasn't so dysfunctional. But your right" I looked at the beautiful sky and the birds flying over the channel markers in the water.
"I know, I'm always right" I laughed slightly at him, playing with his fingers.
"For a TikTok boy your pretty wise"
"What's that supposed to mean?" He asks trying to sound offended. I giggle and he wraps his arm tighter around me and sighs.
"You want to go to my house?" He asks.
"Yeah, after we watch the sunset"
He smiles and leans his head down to give me a kiss. Our lips connected and I got those same butterflies I always get.
And at least for now I was at peace, as long as we're watching the sunset.
