I sat in my room, listening to my favorite music filling the air. The soothing melodies wrap around her like a warm embrace, providing a sanctuary from the world outside.
As i sit in the embrace of the music, a thin trail of smoke gracefully dances through the air, adding a touch of mystery to the scene. With each puff of my cigarette, i exhale the stress and worries of the day.
Finding solace in the rhythm of the music and the calming sensation of the smoke.
I hear my door open, my mother Emilia.
"Put that stuff out Elis, come get your mail downstairs" She closes my door and I roll my eyes.
I put my cigarette out, and walk downstair
"What is it, Mom? "
She looks at me
"Your father sent you $50 in the mail"
"Send it back, I don't want anything that fucker sends" I said annoyed
"Look sweetie, I know your father has been absent pretty much your whole life, but he's tryi-"
"Trying to do what mom? Huh, is he here helping you with rent? Cook? Or take care of us? All $50 can do is get me some food and maybe a T-shirt"
She looked at me "Elis-"
"No mom this has to be said, this man left you to take care of me when I was 4, 4 mom! And you just sit here and act like it didn't happen"
She slammed her hand on the counter
"Dammit Elis, I know what he did, okay? But this money isn't for me it's for you, that he sent you"
"Like I said tell him I don't want his shitty money" I go back upstairs to my room to continue what I was doing.

Emilia sighs "this girl gets on my nerves"
She's goes to sit down on the couch, and turns the radio on to think to herself.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
I go back downstairs.
"I'm going to Nicole's House, bye"
I slammed the door shut and walked to Nicole's house, which is like a 45 minute walk.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Nicole was watching TV in her living, when she hears her doorbell ring.
She gets up to open the door
"Oh hey Elis, come in, my mom isn't here right now"
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
"Hey Nickie" I walked in and sat on the couch
"We can't hang for long because my boyfriend is coming over today" Nicole sat next to me
"That asshole, ugh you could've found someone better" I said, I didn't like Nicole's boyfriend Keith.
"Just because he's not your type doesn't mean he isn't mine" she looked at me a little bit angry
"Look, to me he acts like an asshole and I just don't like him"
"Well I do so don't badmouth about him, what has he ever done to you anyway?"
I shrugged my shoulders
"Sorry for having a an opinion of your limp dicked boyfriend" that made Nicole infuriated
