Chapter 5

My eyes open wide. This can't be real. I blink my eyes a couple times, and she's gone. There is no sign left of her in my mirror. I take a deep breath and continue my routine. I make my way downstairs and say good morning to my mom.

" Mom can we go somewhere today? " I ask smiling shyly.

" Well sure, I really wanted to go out to TJ Maxx today, and i have been craving frozen yogurt lately, so maybe we can grab some to eat."

" Sure " I respond smiling

The best part about doing all of that is I get to get out of this house. So we eat some toast for breakfast and we head out. My mom unlocks the car and we we pull out of the driveway. This is strange, my mom should be blaring Iggy Azalea by now. We pull out of the neighborhood, but my mom didn't even look to see if there was oncoming traffic, thank god there wasn't, that would have been the third car accident I had gotten in this week.

We drive down the road and stop at a stoplight. Something was odd about today, and where I was. I felt that all the time though.

" Hey mom, I have a question? "

She just avoided my question and kept driving. We pull into the TJ Maxx parking lot, and we enter the store. My mom looked through things.

" What do you think about this chair, I think it would be splendid for our dining room "

" It's cute, I think it would go great in our dining room" I respond

We go through the store, and my mom picks out some decor for my house, and purchased them.

" Can you help me put these in the trunk " she asked nicely

So I open the trunk and I help her load the decoration pieces she just purchased. Then I get back into the car, and pull my seatbelt on and it clicks. My mom started the car and we backed out of the parking lot. My mom entered the freeway.

" There is a frozen yogurt place all the way out here? " I ask my mom

"Yes darling, I've heard my friends talk about it. "

I'm surprised, my mom has never called me " darling " and how on earth has she made friends in this town yet. I have been with her this whole time, and she hasn't even made an acquaintance yet. The only person she has really talked to really is the little girls mom that she almost hit. And she only said one word. " Sorry"

" Hey mom, I don't think you heard me earlier I have a question for you "

Again she avoided the question I had.

" Mom "

She avoided that. She is obviously hearing everything I say, she is ignoring me on purpose. Then I get annoyed.

" MOM "

Just as I yelled at her, her face began to turn pale, and her hair turned into a dark black color.

" DONT YELL AT ME " She yells

I am shocked, my mother is turning into a monster. I just sit there with wide eyes.

" WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU ?! " I screamed back at her.

She then pulled her hand out, and didn't even pay attention to the road, and grabbed me by my neck. This wasn't my mother.

" YOUR NOT MY MOTHER WHO ARE YOU "

I then slap her right across the face. I regret this, but this is not my mother.

After I slapped her, she grabbed me by my neck again, and with the other hand, unbuckles my seatbelt. I begin to question what shes about to do.

" IM DONE " she screams and throws me against the window with all her force, my body shatters the window, as i go flying off to the side of the freeway in a field of grass. As surprised as I am that that just happened, I'm also surprised that she sped off without even looking back at me.
