Lawrence pov

I was in my messy bedroom playing video games wearing nothing but boxers. My room had dirty clothes thrown all over the place, dirty plates and cups and it stinks of weed and old food and sweat and whatever else.

I left high school a year ago, I'm now 19 years old and I still live with my parents and younger siblings. My parents expected me to go to college and become a really successful man, well that's not what happened. High school ended and I never applied to college, my parents thought I was going to apply after a month or something but it never happened, I stayed in my room and played video games. Mom said if I didn't want to go to college I had to get a job and pay rent, that never happened either and every other day I get the talk.

My mom opens my bedroom door and her face scrunched up in disgust, i glance at her then go back to playing my game.

"Lawrence, what is going on with you? Why are you not leaving your room, why did you turn into this?" Mom asked, i ignore her.

"Lawrence, you used to be so amazing you'd go to school without complaining you were an amazing student, you could easily get into an amazing college and have an amazing job, your room was spotless you'd help around the house, what has happened?" Mom asked, i shook my head.

"I'm trying to play a game" I say, she shook her as well

"Could you make a living out of playing video games?" Mom asked, I nod

"Yes actually i could! I could be a streamer or a YouTuber and make loads of money" I say, she rolls her eyes.

"Well I don't see you Doing it" mom said, I shrug

"I don't have the stuff to do it" I mumble, she shook her head again and j knew she was disappointed with me.

"Lawrence, your 15 year old brother has a job, he's 15!" Mom said, i shrug

"You know I love you Lawrence, you're my son, you're my eldest" she said, I frown looking at her confused.

"If you don't get your life together by the end of the year...you're out of the house" she said, I feel my heart break.

"There's only 3 months left of the year" i say, she nods

"I love you sweetie I do, but I can't let you sit around and not do anything with your life, this way maybe you'll actually do something and get yourself together" Mom said, I just sit there and she leaves.

3 months? That's all what does she even mean get my life together?

She probably doesn't actually mean she'll kick me out, I'm her son and she loves me too much to kick me out and live on the streets, she's just trying to scare me into getting a job.

For the rest of the day, I stay in bed and play video games.
