Comfort
There was a soft knock on the bathroom door and I sighed.
"I'll be out in a minute!" I called. I hoped that I wasn't loud enough to wake my mom. Even being as sick as she was, she couldn't help being a miserable b*tch to me and I didn't want to have to walk out to that."It's me. Can I come in?"I closed my eyes and leaned down on the sink with my hands, gripping the porcelain hard. This was it. He was going to do it. I turned slowly and took a deep breath.I opened the door slowly and he walked in, his eyes looking over my face. I leaned back against the sink and crossed my arms over my chest so he couldn't see how hard my hands were shaking."Hey." He said quietly. He shut the door behind him and we both stood in the small bathroom, staring at each other awkwardly."Hi." I swallowed hard, wincing. My throat ached and I could feel my eyes prick with tears again.Maybe I should be the one to do it. Maybe it would be eRelated chapters
Unapologetically Me Resentment
"Where did you go?""Wherever I wanted.""Mom, please. Just...where did you go?""You and your father are both the same. Always try to keep tabs on what I do, who I'm with, and what I drink. Just leave me alone!"I grit my teeth and rolled my eyes. She was shaking and vomiting, getting worse because she was in withdrawal from all of the drugs she had been doing while she was away. The hospital staff referred us to a rehabilitation place for her that would help nurse her since she was unable to do sh*t for herself right now.The only issue was that it cost a lot of money. The money we no longer had because she had spent over five hundred grand while she was away. Her bank account was wiped clean and when I searched the purse at home that she had brought with her, she only had forty-two dollars and a bunch of needles and baggies of drugs in there."I just want to know where you spent all of the money."She cackled and nodd
Unapologetically Me Homemade Video Deal
James came in shortly and sighed. "There's no point in arguing with her. I don't see why you keep trying.""Because I'm hoping that maybe one day it will dawn on her that I'm making sense and she'll turn it around."He snorted and I elbowed him lightly. He wiped at my face and pressed his lips down gently on my lips. "Go relax, take a shower, read a book, do something else to calm down. I'll feed her and then we can try to watch a movie or something. Sound good?"I smiled at him because no matter how angry I was, he always seemed to know what to say or do to make me happy. Even if it meant that he had to deal with my mother.I nodded and sat up slowly. I jumped in the shower after he left and washed away all of the day's stresses. After I got out, I walked into the living room and listened to my mom's room. "C'mon, I know it sucks, but you can't eat solids yet and you need something.""Just sneak me something solid. I'll leave h
Unapologetically Me Hateful thoughts
I was the worst daughter ever. I hated myself and I hated her and that's why I was the worst.I stared at her still form on the bed and selfishly thought about myself and my plans and how if she hadn't shown up, I would be in Massachusetts right now with James and we would be looking at the apartment that we were going to start leasing.It was going to be a fresh start and I was going to be free. And now I was here, brushing my mom's yellowing skin with a wet rag and giving her water when she got thirsty and waiting on her hand and foot because it was the least I could do. I had all of these raging emotions that made no sense, but also made perfect sense in my head. I hated my mother. I hated that I was here. I hated that James didn't go to Massachusetts and that he was in here with me, instead of out with his friends. I hated that with everything she put me through, I couldn't just stand up and leave her to die her slow, miserable death.I felt guilty and angry and sad and everythin
Unapologetically Me Promises
My mom was on her own two feet now, the withdrawals had finally subsided and she was eating normal food. She was also bustling around the house on her own without help. She seemed almost normal now. And since she could mostly take care of herself, James and I took advantage and began leaving her at home to go out on our own. It didn't even matter where we went. Some days, after work, we would just drive around aimlessly and listen to music with his hand on my thigh and a small smile on his lips. Other days we would visit his family and I'd get lost in the controlled chaos for a little bit and feel completely relaxed. It was like this for weeks leading up to James leaving and it was nice, but it didn't erase the fact that he would soon be gone and I'd be left by myself to deal with my mom. For now, now that she could walk and take care of herself, it was fine. She didn't bother me as much and would mostly stay in her room and watch TV. But some days it was like she was itching for
Unapologetically Me Goodbyes
My eyes teared up and my stomach churned as we sat in the car at the airport. My mom was at home and his mom insisted on driving us, but I wish we had come alone. I didn't want to look like a giant baby after he left in front of her. James was getting his stuff out of the back and I couldn't stop my hands from shaking. Was it possible to get withdrawals from people? When all of his stuff was on the sidewalk ready, he opened the back seat door and looked down at me with red eyes. His bottom lip trembled slightly and he took a deep breath. "I love you." He whispered to me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his cheek quickly. "I love you too." He wiped under my cheeks and took a shaky breath. "I'll call you when I get in. Keep your phone on you. And don't cry. I'll be back. I promise." I nodded slowly and sat back. His mom was on the verge of tears too and I realized belatedly that she was letting go of her first child. He was the first one to leave and be far away and
Unapologetically Me Bills, Bills and more Bills
Getting a taste of just how much money I spent a month in bills had my blood pressure at an all-time high.My mom's health insurance was crap and expected high ass deductibles just to not pay for certain medications and treatments she needed according to her doctors. Groceries were at an all-time high because my mom sat around the apartment snacking all day and the electric bill was so much higher since she was home all day.Since it was summer and I had no plans on going to school, I began working double shifts just for ends to barely meet. I worked my usual six to two and then took on the full graveyard until nine. When I'd get home, I would shower, take my mom to her endless doctor appointments, and grocery shop, and then get home and take a nap before starting all over.I was running on fumes and the only thing that made me feel recharged was when James would call me in the middle of my first shift and we would chat for about an hour while he studied f
Unapologetically Me Considering a New Job
I hang up the phone and look down at the screen. I lean against the stool I brought to the counter from the back office and close my eyes. All I can hear is the girl yelling his name. I wonder if it's Sarah.A little while later, Kimmy and Hayley show up and my mood brightens a little. Hayley sits on the counter and Kimmy leans against her and eyes me with her flirty eyes."So, how's tonight been treating you?""Same as usual. You?""We got to dance for that rapper from California. The one with the gold teeth."I grin at her and shake my head. "And how was that?""Kimmy had him sign her ass for her. I took a picture. Do you want to see?"Before I could answer, she pulls up her phone and shows me a picture of Kimmy bent of the guy's knee with a marker in hand and a giant grin on his face. Kimmy is looking at the camera with her mouth open in a laugh.I smiled down at the picture and chew on my bottom lip. "That's
Unapologetically Me Phone S*x
I held my breath as the phone rang and began feeling nervous. I didn't even know if I still wanted to do this, now that it was day time and I had all night to think about it. But as my mom emerged from her bedroom yawning with her legs looking more swollen than usual, I felt my resolve harden."Hey, baby." He said as he answered the phone. I smiled at the sound of his voice."Hey, did I catch you at a good time?""Yup. Just woke up. I have a few hours before we take off to go bowling.""Bowling?" He chuckled. "Yeah, you know where you throw giant heavy balls to a bunch of pins at the end of a lane and wear funny shoes?""I know what bowling is, smart ass." I rolled my eyes and he chuckled again. "I just didn't know you liked bowling.""I didn't. I mean, I only went as a kid, but it's not too bad.""That sounds fun. Not really, but you do you I guess."I smiled and he laughed. He sounded so happy, I won
