ONIKA
"I don't care mom! I'm not going to your stupid gala! Period! End of conversation!" I yelled into my phone. My mother infuriates me so much. She wants to paint this perfect picture of her "family" but those people aren't my family.
"Why can't you ever put in effort to be a decent daughter at least?!" She fires back.
"The real question is why can't you put in effort to be a decent mother?!" I yell back.
"Oh shut up! I'm putting in effort by asking you to go to these things which you always disagree to by the way! You know? Keke is a far better daughter than you are! And she isn't even my biological daughter!"
"Then why didn't you give birth to her instead. I never told you to have me!"
"You're so goddamn ungrateful! You know, ever since your fath-"
"Do not! I swear to God, don't even mention him! You're so-Fuck- I hate you!" I yelled frustratedly and hung up. She knows just what to get under my skin. Bitch ass.
I felt my phone vibrate again and I answered without checking the caller ID thinking it was my mom again.
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?!" I was frustrated at this point. "Oh... kay, what the fuck." I heard Lauren's voice come through. I laughed and apologized.
"Sorry Lo, my mom called me before and we got into another fight." I inform her. "I'm not surprised, your mother's... well, your mother." I laughed and shook my head agreeing with her.
"What she do this time girl?"
"She wants me to go to her stupid annual gala for her and her husband's charity. As if they actually cared. I'm pretty sure at least thirty percent goes into their pockets. At least." I tell her.
"Aw well, it's not that bad, it's charity you know?"
"I know Lo, but that's not why she wants me there. She wants to fabricate this lie of a picture perfect family when she knows I don't want anything to do with them."
"I understand. But try to look at it from her POV." She's always rational. "Plus your step sister is not that bad you know." She tells me.
"Keke's tolerable but oh my fucking God, Lawrence? Hell no." I hear her chuckle, "Okay girl, anyways I called you to ask if you wanted to go to the mall with me. I just cleared my closet, and daddy just sent me shopping money." She says happily.
"I wish, but I have to finish this paper for my class. Maybe next time." I didn't have a paper to finish, I just didn't wat to go out.
"Aw okay. I really wanted you to come, plus, when's the last time you left your apartment since your last in-person class?" She asked me teasingly. Me and her are poral opposites. She likes to go out while I like to stay in. A classic extrovert and introvert friendship.
"I went out for therapy and to get coffee two days ago. I'm at my limit, sorry." I shrugged even though she couldn't see.
"Hm, okay Onika. Talk to you later, love you bestfriend." I said bye and "love you too" to her and hung up.
I got off from my bed and went to my desk decided to try to finally finish a beat I made weeks ago.
