A Glimpse Into My Life (Let Go and Let God)

Chapter 15

My transportation fare wasn't enough to go back home. Hodge Lotts left without giving us our daily transportation fare.

So I had to wait for the NTA bus to go back home. It's the cheapest way to go wherever you want to go, especially for a student.

Finally, I reached home. Back to hell, back to boredom, back to whole lot of work, I'm the mother and father and the head of the home.

I opened the door slowly, the fear crept through my heart like I was entering into a danger zone. Oh my god! Mom was lying right on the floor.

At first I thought she was dead but when I went closer, I could hear her breathe slowly. I knew she'd drank herself away.

The tears rolled down as I watched her laid right on the floor. This was the only way she could tame her pugnacious behavior.
Drinking is her way of avoiding or causing chaos.

I looked around and I saw Kyle's bag on the couch. He was back and he saw mom like this and left her all alone. I know Kyle was selfish but wicked, that's a whole knew trend.

I picked her up and carried her into her room and warm bath her with a warm towel so she could be sober.
She retched all over the living room so bad.

I feel sorry for her, she's going through a lot, all by herself with no one there to help her and I can't even do nothing to help her.
I blame MacKinnon Davis for this. He's the reason she's a drunkie.
He's the reason we're all going through all of this.

After cleaning the vomit and the whole house, I still have the girls to pick up and I still have cooking to do. My body is exhausted right now but I can't be lazy. My family need me and I'm here for them.

Now I have to pick up the girls and pass at the market to buy some pepper, bitter balls and bony fish to cook a small pepper soup for mom. At least it'll give her a little strength.
