Sorry For Getting You Fired (GirlxGirl)

CH. 14 Notes

All day, I had been sobbing on my pillow. The day came, mom announced that she was leaving soon. Finding out tore me apart.

"Riley," that was mom knocking at my door. I didn't answer. "Open the door, we need to talk," she insisted. I brought my covers over my head. Wanted to block her voice out.

"Leave me alone," I dismissed, hoping for her to leave me alone.

"But sweetie, I need to talk to you," she knocked softly at the door again.

"Tomorrow, please?" It was difficult to speak without my voice breaking.

There was silence.

"Okay," she spoke again, sounding disappointed. "I'll be in my room if you need anything," she informed. Her footsteps were heard walking away.

"Your room? Uh huh sure," I laughed in sarcasm. "It won't be anymore when you leave," I muttered through my teeth. "Those bitches will take over again," I punched the bed. Thinking about it caused so much anger in me.

Someone was calling me, wanting to FaceTime. Whoever it was, I was going to ignore it. Either way, I couldn't remember where I tossed my phone at. Only reason I knew I was receiving a call was because of my laptop on my bed. Due to curiosity, my eyes wandered to the screen. It was Mia.

Without hesitation, I quickly cleaned the tears off my face and answered it. Forced the widest smile I could manage. "Hey," I spoke with forced enthusiasm, as if everything were fine.

Right away, she noticed that I was putting up a front.
"Riley, were you crying?" she leaned closer to the screen, showing concern. I shook my head and laughed to make it more believable. "Don't lie to me, your eyes are red and puffy, you've clearly been crying," she stated as a matter of fact.

"It's nothing, I just woke up," I lied. "My eyes are barely adjusting," I added with another forced smile.

Her expression showed how much she didn't believe me. "Riley, I want to help you, please tell me," she insisted.

Tears formed in my eyes. Containing them was impossible. Mia was insisting too much that I just couldn't take it. Not really caring anymore, I let my tears wash down my face.

"My mom is leaving in a week," I gave the news. I sobbed into my hands and felt embarrassed for crying like this in front of Mia.

"Oh Riley," sympathy was heard in her voice. "I wish I could be there right now with you. I feel so useless not being able to hug you," I heard her say. I looked up from my hands and saw how much it bothered her.

"I wish you could be here too," I felt so overwhelmed. "Mia, I don't want my mom to leave," I cried some more.

"I wish you didn't have to go through this," she said. "If I could stop you from feeling all this pain, trust me, I would do anything."

Appreciating it, a smile crept to my lips. "Having your support helps," I replied and pressed my fingers on the screen. She did the same, as if our hands were actually touching.

"You'll always have it," she assured. I was dying to kiss her at this very moment. Too bad that it was just a screen. "So tell me, what did you say to your mom?" she asked.

I sighed, "Nothing," I shrugged and immediately felt like such a childish bitch. "I didn't give her the opportunity to explain herself to me," I elaborated.

"Riley," she breathed out, as if saying, that was wrong.

"I did wrong, huh?" I chewed on the inside of my cheek.

"Honestly, yes," she was truthful but in a non judgmental way. "You need to cherish these last couple of days with your mom," she advised. "Don't end on bad terms, you wouldn't want that," she explained.
