~ sitting in front of my vanity I was almost finished doing my makeup. Adding my eyeliner and lipgloss was the last thing. Oh and the concealer to hide these hickeys
Someone knocks at the door and I scream "come in." Not wanting to leave my closet. I hear light footsteps make way across my room floor meaning it's either my mother or Gen.
When I look up it's my mother. She's dressed beautifully in her thanksgiving outfit that matched her wife's and Bellamy's. I unfortunately had already picked out mine so maybe next year we'll all do the matching shit
"Almost ready?"
"Yup, just have to finish this." I say looking around for my lipgloss that I know I just had. I really need to clean this thing there's shit everywhere
"Good because I wanted to talk to you about something." She moves to the sofa chair closest to me and I look up at her
"About what?"
"About your father."
"Oh god, mom no."
"Yes Mercy-"
"No."
"August listen to me!"
I shut up. I have never been one to disrespect my mother and I almost always listened to her. I hated when she yelled at me because it made me feel small so I shut up
"Tonight, we all agreed that we would be nice to one another. That means you have to be nice as well... I'm not asking you to go live with the man I'm asking you to Behave. Is that so hard for you to do?"
I sighed playing with the eyeliner in my hand. My father called yesterday and asked that we join him for thanksgiving. Of course being the sweetheart Genesis is she couldn't refuse. She wanted us to get past whatever hatred we had for the man
I understand that but she didn't have to go through what we had to. I don't understand why he even called. In the last two years he's never bothered to invite us all. It was always just me suffering alone I'd rather that then everyone
Elijah is now going to be there as well and I don't think I can handle all that, we aren't even speaking at the moment.
"I will behave. I won't cause a scene I'll even shut up the entire night."
"No, Mercy don't just shut down on me here. I'm just asking that we don't start anything."
"I know. I won't, I promise."
She sighs looking defeated. I promise. My mother gets up kissing my forehead "you look beautiful. Hurry we'll be leaving soon."
I nod and listen as the door closes behind her. Finishing getting dressed I zip up my boots and grab my purse. Stuffing my broke but still usable phone in the thing I make sure to grab my wallet just incase I have to call a cab out of there.
