"what's your problem, justin?" mother sighed. "i'm not asking for you to wreck and rebuild this wall, i'm just asking for some milk."

"mom." i groaned. "i'm too tired to go to the-"

"drew, now." i rolled my eyes at her words.
i hated when she called me by my
middle name, she did that every time
she was being stern with me.

"goddamnit mom i'm 22, quit using that voice
with me as if i'm 5." i couldn't help but roll my
eyes again as i got up and slipped on my vans.

"so quit acting like one." she rolled
her eyes back at me.

"man, i just wanted to come visit you
after two weeks of not seeing you but again,
like every time, i find myself at the mini
market down the street." i whined.

"that's just how it is." she shrugged
and turned on the tv.

"whatever, you better not watch
your stupid shows when i'm back."

"oh yeah, i'll just watch hockey and
scream like an animal with a blue scarf
around my neck." she rolled her eyes,
referring to my behavior when i
watch my hockey games.

"as you should." i smirked back, opening
the door. "just milk?" i asked, and
immediately regretted.

"bring some oreos as well, and some of my yogurt." she said "OH! and don't forget to
get avocados and some eggs."

"okay, bye mom." i sighed, closing the door.

"milk, oreos, avocado, eggs, yogurt." i kept mumbling to myself as i entered the little market. i sighed, deciding on getting
the oreos last because once i step
foot in the chocolate and snacks aisle,
it's hard to get me out of there.

i got most of the stuff, going to get her yogurt next, since it was right around the corner.

"hi, justin." a short figure smiled up at me,
making me look down and immediately
smile back at the kind woman.

"hey, joan."

"visiting pattie?" she asked, grabbing
a yogurt from the freezer.

"yeah, i swear she just waits for me to
visit just to sent me here with a list
of all the things she purposely
finished before i arrived."

she laughed "yeah, sounds like
something your mom would do."

i chuckled, and i couldn't help but feel
the need to ask her the same thing
i do every time we meet;

"have you been in touch with ariana lately?"
i bit my lip nervously, wanting
to hear about her.

"of course, she is my daughter." she huffed.

"and how is she? is she doing good?"
i asked as we walked through the aisles.

"yeah, she still works at that restaurant,
she just facetimed me yesterday telling
me how she wanted to quit, because-"
