Walks alone

Chapter 11

Days later it was Christmas eve, Evelyn had already opened all her gifts same with her sister. But as she was sitting alone upstairs she got sad really fast with no reason. Then she remembered what her therapist told her, compare your current situation with past situations you have survived through. And thats what she did.
As she was doing what the therapist told her she thought,
"Why am i sitting here holding on to a motherfucker, who broke my heart thinking this is the worst pain ive gone through? Man i grow up without a dad, i grow up with a mom working 24/7, i grow up being raised by people who arent even blood related. I've survived worse then losing a boy who couldnt grow up and be a man."
She swore to herself that will be the thing she lives by for the rest of her days.
   Not long later her grandmother came upstairs, wondering if she was all right. Evelyn looked at her grandmother in the eyes and said
"Nanny I got diagnosed with depression and I get anxious very easily and sometimes I just distance myself because I don't have the social energy to talk to anyone anymore."
  And with that Evelyn's grandmother took her in her arms and said
"it'll be OK you will be all right," she hugged her tightly then continued " i loved her and you should to come downstairs with everyone else. It will help"
" okay ill be down in a minute" replied Evelyn.
    Evelyn sat back down in the chair that she was setting in before her grandmother came upstairs and she just let out a big sigh. She believe that to be a sigh of relief, a sigh of finally getting it all for chest and telling her grandmother.  Evelyn took a few minutes to gather her thoughts and pull self together and then she walked downstairs.
Days later
   Evelyn and her sister were going home. It was a long drive for 8 o'clock in the morning but it was worth it to be with her mother again. Evelyn missed her, plus she needed a re-fill in her vape. It was empty and she was not in the mood to go without it much longer.
   The drive home was the same as always. Same boring questions about out stay with our father parents. Same questions about what we got and how people are down there. Evelyn pretty much zoned it all out the whole time.
