The night went by fast and I woke up slightly disappointed the morning was already here. I was quickly forced out of bed by the loud and persistent knocking of the door, remembering I have a day of shopping with James today. I make my way to the door and swing it open slightly irritated by James' childish behavior. He wastes no time pushing his way past me and plopping down on the sofa.
"Ugh you aren't even ready yet Em," he grabs the remote and starts flicking through the channels then looks back at me annoyingly, "well don't just stand there we have a lot of work to do on you today and can't waste anymore time." I roll my eyes and run back into my room throwing on the first things I can find and James and I begin on our shopping adventure.

After about a solid five and a half hours of shopping at various stores and a couple thrift stores I was exhausted and could barely stand anymore while James was like a kid in a candy store going through each and every rack of clothes. After basically dragging him out of the store and bribing him with a free meal from the diner we made our way back to the apartment complex with my new wardrobe. I didn't get anything crazy and most of it was from the Thrift store but I didn't mind and was actually really happy with my findings. I was able to get a couple baggy jeans, a skirt, a couple big tees, a nice sweater, and a couple small flowy dresses.

James and I went out separate was once we got to our floor and we said our goodbyes as we walked into our apartments. I walked through the small hallway and to my room pushing the door open I see my mother going through my drawers.

She use to be very beautiful but over the years she really lost herself after Dad left us, she was very small now probably a result of all the drugs she was doing and her hair was very thin. She turned around facing me slightly taken back by my presence and had a guilty look plastered across her face. She looked even more worn down then the last time I had saw her, her eye bags were darker and larger now and her skin was even paler than before with more defined wrinkles on her face.

"Em! Aw sweety I missed you so much" she says as she embraces me in a hug and I flinch at how horrible she smells.

"What are you doing here? Where have you been you were gone a little longer this time?"

"Oh yeah I got a little caught up with Mark and seemed to lose track of time, you know how it is" she says as she suggestively smirks at me and I find myself slightly disgusted but not surprised. "But I have to go now, I just stopped by for a couple things."

"Well what did you need in my room, and I'm not sure that Dylan would like you bouncing again"

"Then don't tell him, what he doesn't know won't hurt him, ok sweetie" she flashes me a smile while turning back to my drawers. "But I was wondering if I could borrow a couple bucks just to get me by the next few days, it would help me out so much. I just need enough for some food so I don't go hungry, you wouldn't want me starving would you Em?"

"Mom please don't do this to me again, you know things are tight right now."

She turns around with a slight hint of anger in her eyes which she quickly covers with a wave of sadness, "Please Em, I love you and as soon as you give me some money I'll leave you alone for a week please I'm desperate."

She always uses my kindness against me I always hope that she will come back and stay and turn herself around and become a better mother, but every time I am left disappointed. But that still doesn't stop me from helping her, even though I know she is using me. "Fine" I pull out my wallet with my savings in it and give her 100$, "this is all I can give you I hope it's enough."

"Sweetie thank you it will work for now" she pulls me into another hug which I slightly resist but give into. She breaks the hug first and without another word turns around and walks out the door, I would be hurt but this has happened before and I'm too tired to care honestly.

I lock the door behind her and make my way to the shower, I needed to relax from the stressful long day. I run the bath and sit down in the tub once it's about half way full. I turn down the water temperature slightly and position myself with my legs on either side of the faucet. The warm water hits my clit intensely causing a rush of electricity to flow through my body. Once I get use to the pressure after a minute I slowly start to spread my legs exposing my clit more to the wave of water flowing in between my legs. My stomach clutches as I feel myself contracting from the pleasure, I take my hand and push against the tub forcing myself closer to the faucet so I don't pull away from the intensity. I feel the build up of my orgasm creeping up and my entire body tenses as I reach my climax letting out I small moan but silencing myself to keep quiet.

I shut off the faucet and gather myself for a minute before I hear Dylan knocking on the bathroom door. "Hey Emma you in there?"

"Yeah I'll be out in a minute" I shout back wrapping a towel around myself as I open the door and make my way to my room quickly changing into a large sweatshirt and a pair of small shorts that I just wear around the house. I walk out of my room and sit on the couch next to Dylan.

"Hey" I greet him.

"Hey how was your day?" He asks absolutely exhausted but tries to hide it with a smile.

"It was fine I went shopping with James for Golden, but when I got home Mom was here" once I mention our mother his head sinks into his hands out of frustration. "I'm sorry I should have called you but she was in and out."

"It's not your fault" Dylan sighs "what did she want this time?"

"The usual, just money."

"Did you give her any?"

"Just a little, I'm sorry but I just can't turn her away she's still mom." I look up at Dylan who has an angry scowl across his face.

"Em.... you can't just give her what she wants or she'll never leave us alone you understand right?" I nod, I know I shouldn't give her anything and I should hate her but I still care about her even after everything she's done to us. "She will just spend the money on drugs or alcohol or god knows what, I just want to protect you and don't want you trapped in her game."

"I know I'm sorry" I choke up and start to cry a little and Dylan pulls me close and I sob into his arms, feeling stupid for letting my Mom take advantage of me yet again.

After I calm down and pull myself together we sit back and watch a little tv together before Dylan passes out on the couch, I cover him with a blanket and go to my room and fall asleep after a few chapters of reading.
