"You're such a sweetheart"
***
"Pass me the lighter, hun." Y/n, mother Caroline said to her that night.
Y/n sat on the floor in front the coffee table which was covered in Cosmo magazines, empty light beer cans and cigarettes trays, whilst Caroline sat on the couch behind her.
Y/n reached her small arm out to the lighter and handed it back to her mother.
Caroline was actually home for once and not with some random man off the street. This is the first time y/n had really spent time with her mother in weeks.
When Caroline was out the house she was mainly just passing through, or definitely not to spend time with y/n. She did leave cash on the kitchen bench for y/n most the time though, so she could get herself dinner even if it was only about $5 in coins.
Caroline loved y/n, and y/n did love her mother back but Caroline just couldn't take care of y/n. She just couldn't.
Y/n had learned from a really young age how to take care of herself.
Y/n leaned her head back against the couch, watching the moving pictures on the television. Her eyes started to feel heavy and she wanted to fall asleep soon. Caroline moved her hand down and started stroking her daughter's head, affectionately, making y/n feel more relaxed.
She closed her eyes, feeling her mothers love, which didn't occur very often and it felt as though it had been only 5 or so seconds since she fell asleep when a loud ringing jumped her awake.
"Hello." Caroline said answering her phone, which woke y/n up.
Y/n blinked and tuned out the rest of Caroline's conversation on the phone.
"Okay I'm on my way out." Caroline ended her phone call and stood up.
Y/n watched her mother put her cigarette out and tuck the rest of her cigarettes under her bra strap and pick up her boots.
"Where are you going?" Y/n asked.
"Don is picking me up." Caroline said and y/n heard a loud car pull up outside the house.
Y/n didn't know who 'Don' was and why he was ruining this for her.
"I'll be back soon." Caroline smiled slightly, undoing an orange bottle of pills and swallowing a small hand full of them as she walked towards the front door.
