Chapter 5-

I wake up randomly in the afternoon, i decided to skip school because I can't necessarily bring myself to see or talk to people right now and based on what i had seen yesterday, i'm liable to do anything. I saw my mom screwing a guy specifically Malachi's Dad who's married. I couldn't believe her and how she would feel comfortable having sex with a married man. I get up to get some water and i see her in the kitchen doing something on her computer.

Alica- Amira? Can we talk please?

Amira- i'm not in the mood to talk especially not to you but can i have some of the cookies?

Alica- oh so you won't let me explain but you wanna eat my cookies?

Amira- What is there to explain? I saw you screwing Pastor Murphy? And you wanna know the worst part of it all? it's the fact that he's married how could you do something like that?

Alica- Amira it's much more complicated than that.

Amira- then explain it to me because i don't get it.

Alicia- Pastor Murphy has always been a great person and friend to me especially after your father's death. After i finished doing what i needed to do for the church, i asked him if he would accompany me for a glass of wine. We can back here, had a drink and one thing led to another and then you know how that plays out. We both had been missing being wanted and being touched so we took the risk.

Amira- so is that supposed to justify you literally being with someone's husband?

Alica- of course not, it was a mistake and i know that so can you stop making me feel bad for it?

Amira- i'm not doing anything.

Alica- you may not see it but i do, you're judging me and not seeing where i stand in this. I'm sorry Amira.

Amira- keep your sorry mom because i don't even need it and this couldn't be at the worst time possible, i'm seeing Malachi.

Alica- You're seeing Malachi?

Amira- yes and once he finds out about this he will want nothing to do with me.

Alicia- yes he will because his house will not become a broken one. I won't see Pastor Murphy again and will keep my distance. It will be like it never happened.

Amira- But that's not fair Pastor Murphy's wife should know what type of person he is.

Alicia- and you don't think she doesn't? They've been married for almost 30 years, i'm sure she has seen him do much worse and i don't want to put any more on to that.

Amira- so why won't she leave him?

Alicia- some women just aren't as strong and put up with bullshit just so they can stay they have a man. Now i don't believe that Michelle is a weak woman but when you've been with someone for so long, it's hard to let that go.

Amira- but still it isn't fair to her, she deserves better.

Alicia- it isn't fair but you can't wish better for someone who's happy at where they are.

Amira- i just don't understand why she won't leave?

Alicia- it's not for you to understand yet, you're young and newly opening the doors to love so you gotta experience some things before you can understand what i'm talking about.

Amira- I think I understand. I'm just going to chill here today get ready for the last day of school tomorrow.

Alicia- ok sweetheart I'll be down here if you need me.

Amira- cool.
Alicia continues working and Amira goes to her room.
Amira cleans her room and chills and ignores everyone's phone calls so she can take a mental day for herself.
