After everyone ate, Cynthia went to take another shower and wore a tank top with shorts because it was too hot. When she got downstairs her mom was in the kitchen, "you look like a slut," her mom tells her. this time sober.
"thanks mom.." she tells her.
"don't you disrespect me!" she yells at her.
"kids go play upstairs, you can use my tv." she tells them and the kids go upstairs with their toys to watch tv. Bella knew she had to turn her volume all the way up when cynthia told her to watch her tv.
"don't disrespect you mom? are you serious? you have no job. i'm the one paying everything here. i feed your kids. i make sure you don't miss anything. and you think it's okay to call me a slut for normal clothes! dont tell me what's disrespectful and what to wear. because we woukd be homeless if it weren't for me. and i love you mom but i will not let you talk like that about me!" she tells her.
she tries to keep her calm but it's hard. her mom is now going to act like a victim, each time they fight she does the same. Cynthia had the most hopes her mom woukd become better but her hopes kept going away.
" sorry honey. you know it's been hard since they fired me-" cynthia ignored her and got water from the fridge. "then find one!" she tells her and heads out, "i won't be home soon so sleep. and i won't be fucking anyone either!"
she goes in her car and to 7-11 she goes again. when she goes in she doesn't bother to see who's the worker is, "i'm cynthia. matt said he left a note. i'll have the usual and a pizza please, thanks."
she gets her slushee and waits for her pizza piece. when she looks up she sees the mohawk dude again.
"oh you're the girl from the park right?"
she nods."is that everything?"
"yeah thanks."
"your brother, is he on a soccer team? he's very good at kicking it's dope."
"yeah, he's 5 and we wanted him to get practice." i tell him.
" oh cool, my name is hawk."
"i'm cynthia." she says smiling and giving him the money, "you can keep the change."
"thanks," he tells her. "i'll see you around?"
she nods, "everyday." and leaves.
when she got in the car she realized she was kind of bored of going to the same places. so she went to her and sat on her chair from her balcony to enjoy the stars.
"i'll see you later honey," her dad told her as he walked away with all his clothes.
" where are you going?" cynthia asked her dad
"i'm moving but i promise to come see you soon okay? i love you so much" he said as he hugged her and walked out.
cynthia was crying, she wished she could live with him. he made sure she was always okay. her dad had moved 15 minutes from them but she didn't want to leave her siblings or her mom.
cynthia went inside to listen to music and silent the world to fall asleep.
The next morning Cynthia got her siblings ready to leave with their grandma because she was going to the zoo. how fun!
"i want you to look for jobs today and have a job by the end of the week." Cynthia was done with her. She was done giving away her life for her mom.
///Cynthia then went to work to do her daily life. Get there happy, be mistreated, be stressed and have a long tiring day at work.
She couldn't wait to go to her slushee either that day. or maybe she was dreading to talk to hawk.
Luckily she finished her shift an hour early today. it was actually slower than usual.
She drove to the 7-11, and got out.
"hey," she told the boy
"what's up" he replied. she gets her slushee and pays.
"isn't drinking slushees everyday bad for you?" he asks her"i don't know but it brings me happiness so idc either," she says smiling. " also i don't wanna go anywhere today so i shall talk to you," she smiles.
"well i'm working so i can't really talk."
"ur boring, matt woukd talk to me." she says .
"well obviously i'm not matt." he rolls her eyes playfully."well since pretty boy here won't talk to me i guess i'll go cry in the car."
"aw you think i'm pretty," he says smiling, "maybe i'll talk to you someday."
" yeah yeah." she smiles, "see you tomorrow pretty boy." and walks out
