Bi-stressed

CHAPTER 83

Maybe it isn't her. Maybe my ears are playing games with me.

I walk over to the sink and fill a glass of water to drink.

"Good evening Mrs. Brooke." Mia greets her. That's when I know it's her. It's my mother.

"Welcome. Please take a seat. I'll call Zac." I hear Mia say.

The glass slips from my hand, shattering on the floor. Mia comes running inside the kitchen. And so does Zac and Hardin.

They all seem to be asking me what happened but I'm swaying, literally spinning. No, no I'm dizzy. I feel too weak to stand. My feet, they're trembling. Oh no, it's the earth. That's trembling too. It's rotating and revolving really fast at the moment. Shit it's pitch black.
What if planet Earth fell into the black hole.

...

"Lexi darling?" I hear her. That voice. My mother's. I hate her.

"Zac? Hardin?" I call out.

"We're here." They answer. I open my eyes to find myself laying on Zac's bed.

I don't remember anything that happened earlier. It was definitely a hallucination which I can't seem to recall. My head hurts extremely. I want her out of my sight.

"Please tell her to go." I tell Zac.

"Lexi I'm worried about you." Her words make me extremely angry.

"You're telling me you're worried about me?" I laugh hysterically. "After what, a month?" I continue laughing.

Halsey enters the room and walks over to me.

"She's saying she's worried about me." I tell Halsey and laugh again in hysterics.

"After throwing me out of my house in the middle of the morning and having no relation with me for more than a month, you land up here suddenly saying you're worried about me." I can't stop laughing. It's hurts so bad. I'm crying but I'm laughing.

Oh, Jesus. I press my palm against my chest trying to somehow lessen the pain. It's hurting so bad, I want to take out my heart and throw it.

"YOU CHOSE HIM OVER YOUR DAUGHTER! YOU TOLD ME TO GET OUT OF YOUR HOUSE!" I yell.
Halsey pulls me towards her, squeezing me so tight, that I can barely breath. I watch Zac hurrying towards me and Hardin explaining something to my mother, requesting her to probably leave.

"How could she do that to me? She's my mother." I cry. I cry bitterly, gasping for breath at intervals.

"Can someone please help me to entertain the gues-" Mia peeps in but silences as soon as she notices the tension in the air.

"I'm sorry for- Lexi are you feeling better?" Mia asks with a worried expression.

"Yup. I'm fine. I'm perfectly fine. Can't you see?" I smile broadly. Her face expression changes to perplexed.

I'm crying, laughing, hurting, smiling and saying I'm perfectly fine.

I get up and walk into the bathroom without a word to anyone.
Halsey stops Zac from coming behind me, telling him to give me some space for a while.

I go inside and latch the door.

"Lexi don't do anything stupid, please. We're all out here for you." Hardin says.

I crumble to the floor, curling up. I hug my knees tight and bury my head down. I sob away.

God!

Whyy?

WHY MEE?

I'm too young to be this hurt.
