I stood paralyzed in front of my TV. I haven’t quite grasped the idea of being alone, being without my mother. Ally hasn’t anything just sits by herself on the corner and cries in random spurts. Kat is literally on the floor in a pile of her own tears. It’s been almost two hours since that damn monotone asshole told us that our only parent is long gone. We have received more than twenty calls, all saying that they are sorry and that they hope us well. We got shit loads of sorry flowers and things like that.
The doorbell rang a couple of times before I lifted myself up from the couch. I looked down at myself and noticed that I was still in my pajamas. I had a tight belly shirt tank top with the batman logo on it and a pair of long yoga pants. I probably look like a bag of shit that got vomited on a thousand times but I got an excuse. I pulled open the door and saw a tall and skinny woman that I thought was as young as me but you can clearly notice she has wrinkles. Wow she looks good.. Must be 60 or something..
I tried my best at a smile and my awful voice crooked out.
“Hi, do I know you?” I look to my side and notice Ally next to me with a thigh length silk night dress and Kat on her side with baggy sweatpants and a green Henley shirt that says, “Bitch please!”, on her back.
“Wow looks like time caught up to you girls! Jeez your mother wasn’t kidding when she said you guys grew up. Oh Lord Kat! You have boobs! Boobs!!! The lanky little nerd has BOOBS!! Oh Lord.. Christ almighty Lucy you looking stunning, you face looks so nice and smooth! And Ally you actually have a body shape… Good Lord you girls are getting too sexy for me.” Was that a insult or a compliment?
She looks familiar in a weird way. Maybe she was a fashion designer like Mom. But how did she know that Kat was a little lanky ugly nerd? She must know us…
“Oops! Where are my manners just standing her expecting you to recognize me! I’m Ms. Rayne Helen. Your mother had asked me to take full custody of you girls. Don’t worry though I know you girls like the back of my hand! Don’t you remember me? I was your tall and gorgeous neighbor back in New York City?” Ms. Rayne was having total vocal diarrhea right now. So she used to be our neighbor in New York? Well it has been a long time since it happened.
“Nice to see you Ms. Helen, you must pardon us but we where really small when we left New York so don’t blame us if we don’t remember you. I’m Ally by the way.” Ally stuck her hand out towards the lady. We ushered her inside our messy abode. Kat gave her some water and we sat around her expectantly. She is our custodian; she has to tell us what to do. God I miss my Mom…
“Well hopefully you girls can pack quickly because we have a jet leaving tomorrow. Be ready by 10 in the morning!” With that Ms. Helen just stands up and leaves us there in awe. The hell just happened?
“Well girls lets suck this fucked up shit we call a life and get a packing. Kat you can pack Mom’s clothes. Don’t think about leaving ANYTHING behind. Allies go and pack your clothes and Kat’s clothes. Looks like we’re moving out Hun Buns!” I clap my hands so they can get to work.
We have to suck it up and behave like adults. No more temper tantrums, no more midnight cries so Mama can come and sleep with us, no more arguing, no more stupid cat fights, no more Mom, no more being regular teens. We are now orphans. Jeez I hope we can go through this without being babies… Ma please help us, we need you
