Shut up my mom will hear you
I think you're just paranoid.
I'm REALLY not
I took a phone call in the middle of the night
because my friend Alyssa was drunk and trying to
prank-call me. We were whispering, barely
making a sound and my mother woke up and
barged into my room to see what I was doing
BECAUSE SHE HEARD ME FROM HER ROOM
Seriously?
Uh, yeah
Alright, I'll be quiet. I would just rather talk
than text
Me too.
And why am I sitting in your closet again?
Because if my mom comes in (as she does), she
won't see you and freak out. I have this
awful thing with guilt, especially regarding
my mother
Aw but you look so cozy! I can move
fast and silently, you know
I bet you can. But I'm not risking it.
Not here. At my dad's house, sure, because he
knocks before entering and leaves me alone
no matter how much noise I'm making.
Why couldn't I have just brought you
there?
Because I'm at my mom's house this week. I
switch every week and spend every Sunday
and Wednesday night at my mom's house.
That's a strange arrangement.
Was it hard for you when they divorced?
I mean, they got separated when I was six. Never
really affected me, other than my dad's MANY
relationships over the years fucking up my life.
