„You fucking Moron! You're telling our daughter she will be a fucking racer! Do you want to kill her, you jerk!"

„I want her to live her dream,-"

„Let's say, she wants to be a surgeon or lawyer, nothing athletic! What then? Would you support her?"

Mom and Dad are arguing about me again. Is it so bad to be a racer?

„Your silence says everything Herald! You want her to be an Athlete, but she is made to be a academic! Why won't you get it!"

„She doesn't want to be an academic."

,,You have no idea of her! You are never here! You are always with your friends out there drinking and probably cheating!"

„So you think the reason I'm out is cause I'm cheating? Well you are fucking right. I am sick of you, you and your so called perfections. Don't you get it? You are destroying this family, not me, you, just you."

,,Says the man, who just confessed he has been cheating on me!"

,,I am done, done, done. I will walk out of that door and wish to never see you again. Cause everyday I wished, to never have met you."

What does he mean. Doesn't he like mommy? Destroying family? What is destroying? Why is he leaving, what, I don't understand, it's past mid night, all the ghost will hunt him! No... come back...

Present Day (Tuesday)

 My Alarm woke me up at exactly 05:30, like everyday. Today I have to go to the office, work my ass off for a free latte, which just tastes disgusting.

My phones starts ringing at exactly 05:31, like everyday and it's mom, asking me if she should bring me lunch.

„Good morning sunshine! Ready for work, do you want me to get you something for lunch?"

,,No"

,,Are you certain?"

,,Yes, have a good day."

Everyday I fucking tell her, I don't want anything and everyday she brings me something.

I have to be at 10 at the office, but to quote my mom, you are always late, if you are not five hours earlier there. Yeah, she thinks I'll go to the office five hours before the office opens, funny.

I get ready, pack my cases of today and watch some Tv.

My phone rings again, that is not scripted in my moms schedule for me.

,,Hello?"

,,Hey Amy!"

,,No way, Elise! Is that really you!"

,,It is and I am here to tell you, I'm back in Oslo, to visit you!"

,,That is great, but I have to work."

,,Work? Just skip!"

,,You know my mom always comes for lunch there."
