I wake up to my stupid alarm going off.

After Emma was done crying I told her to sit in one of the booths while I finished up and brought her one if her favorite milkshakes. I finished cleaning and locked up the diner and took Emma to my house.

She's currently sleeping in my mom's room. I haven't told her about what happened with my mother because last night was about her not me and I just held and listened to her for hours.
I get out of bed and head to the bathroom to take a shower.

I don't wash my hair cause I washed it yesterday and don't wash it everyday. When I'm done I put on a robe and head to the kitchen. Not before brushing my teeth and washing my face.

I start making some pancakes while I'm busy I hear Emma's footsteps.
"Goodmorning sleeping beauty!"
"N, what in the hell are you doing awake this early the sun's not even up yet and your up!" I chuckle at her words.

"Unlike you Il mio amore, I have to go to work early in the morning" I sat while flipping the pancake.
"Whatever" she grumbles.
"what are you even making?"

(Translation : my love)

"Pancakes! Want some?"
"No thanks I'm going back to bed, is your mom coming back or should I go sleep in your room?"i freeze.
"My moms not coming back ever" I say softly knowing she heard me.

"What do you mean 'ever'?"
"She's dead Em" I turn to look at her while putting the pancakes in a plate.
"Fucking finally!" she shouts but then realizes what she said.
"I mean, I'm so sorry N" I scoff at her words.

She knows what my mother did to me and she was ready to put a bullet in between her eyes. With my dad on the other hand Emma doesn't really have a problem with my father she just lost all her respect for him as a man. Her words not mine.

I snap out of my own thoughts and start eating the pancakes and make some coffee before heading to my bedroom. Emma soon joins me and talks to me while I pick out an outfit.

"What happened?" I sigh while looking through my closet.
"She was shot twice while at a club, they say she was at the wrong place at the wrong time whatever that means" I roll my eyes at that.
"Damn maybe karma finally caught up to her" I look back at her with a glare.

"What don't be mad at me we both know you couldn't give two shits" she pust her hands up in surrender. And walks out of my room while mumbling something under her breath.

She was right. But why didn't I care she's my mother, yes she did horrible things to me but she's still my mother right?

***

I finally picked out an outfit but because of that I'm late.

It's not that hot today so I guess this fine. I kinda don't like these pants cause they cover my belly ring but whatever.

I get in my car and drive straight to work. I park and go straight to the locker rooms and put on my apron. I tie my hair in a ponytail since it was hanging loose and make my way out.

I see Gabe and smile at him but he doesn't smile back. Huh that's weird. But I shrug it off and get straight to work.

Its a few hours later and I'm exhausted. The bell rings and I turn around and put my best fake smile on but it falls immediately when I see who's standing there. The man I hate more than my mother. Henry Williams.

My Father.
