Gloria's POV

"Gloria! We're going to be late for church, be quick"

That screaming woman, that nagging being is  Seraphim Jonas.... my mother.

"Coming Mum" I yelled back. I took my bag and packed my Bible, notebook and my Lucky pen, I ran to my closet and got my scarf to cover my hair.

"Gloria! If you make me come up there, to God who made me I will-"

"Here" I squealed running down the stairs

If you lived with my mother, and you also want to continue to live with my mother, you better never allow her to finish her swears, or dares as she calls them.

"Common, I'm teaching the Bible study tonight, it won't look good of me to come late" She then pushed me into the car

My mother lives God with all her heart, she said she had done the unspeakable and God still forgave her... She never let me in on what she did but it terrible

Or so she says

I know what you must be thinking... That I don't love or believe in God?

Heck yh I do...

I kinda have a mother who's obsessed with him..... Buhh nevertheless I still believe in him

His powers

Miracles.. etc

"GLORIA!"

"Ma!" I yelled back scared

"I've told you countless of times, stop zoning out, it's a terrible habit and it's rude when someone is talking to you!" She scolded

She's always scolding...

"Yes ma'am" I said looking down

"Good, now let's get inside, so we can be part of the early prayers" my mother said smiling

If my mother was obsessed with God... Then she was even more obsessed with praying...

The old woman never sleeps, always Interrupting my sleep

I mean.. pray a simple prayer and go to bed .. Jeez!

Locking the car doors I ran after my mother into the church...

*********AFTER CHURCH SERVICE*******

"Gloria hiii"  I turned to see the wannabe

At least that's what I call them

They dress inappropriately to church, put on excessive makeup, ridiculously chew gum... Loudly and above all they party

And still come to church

"Peach, Rose, ooh Jessica hiii" I dragged out

My mother loathe these set of girls... She has warned... More like threaten me a countless of times to stay away.... And I try to stay away but somehow

These three angels just keep finding me...

Note the sarcasm.

"How you doing hmm? We wanted to check up on you.. like pastor always said.. be your brothers/sisters keeper" Rose said smiling

"Hallelujah!" Peach and Jessica repeated.

"Hmmm" i hummed smiling

"So.. is there anything I can do for you ladies?" I asked

"Well yes... We need a small favor"

And bomb goes the cabin! .... I knew they wanted sth

"I hope it's something within my power and I can do?" I asked laughing partially

"There's this .... Gathering that we've been invited too, and we need a fourth member" Peach said

Gathering my ass!... It's another party

"Gathering you say?" I played along

"Aaahh yes, a social gathering in the community" Jessica said

Omg! I can't believe the amount of effort this girl's are willing to put I to this... It's just si funny

"Really? Is it a fund raiser of some kind?" I asked faking curiosity

"Hmm... Somewhat... So will you come?" Jessica asked

And I giggled.

"Alright, but I'll have to ask my mother about it" I said sheepishly

"What? You still do that Gloria darling?" Peach said

Don't mind Peach... She's always been a sweet talker

"Yep!" I said popping the 'p'

"Wow,  aren't you like what 18 or something? Why do you still need to ask your mum?"

20 actually!

"I'm actually 20 years and yeah, I still ask my mum"... I was starting to feel embarrassed now

"You need to stand up for yourself girl! She ain't gonna stop treating you like a baby if you still sit around acting like one" Roseville said

"Yeah.. you're right" I whispered, then looked at my mum speaking with another church mother

"I'll see you girls tonight... 8pm sharp" I said smiling and they nodded their heads smiling

"Dress sexy Gloria" Peach said then winked at me and I giggled

It's time to stand up for myself.....






Little did I know my still rebellion was gonna turn into a big catastrophe.....

And be the end of me






And my mother....💔
