lacy

i'm awoken to the pounding in my head, my eyes open to sun pouring though the curtains in an unfamiliar bedroom.

i look around me to see the guitars and springsteen poster. i'm in sams bed.

sam isn't in there but i'm in unfamiliar clothes.

i groan and look around for my phone, it's on charge on the nightstand next to me.

mum: oh i am so mad at you lacy
mum: i know your an adult so i can't legally do anything about it but that's very irresponsible of you
mum: message me when you wake up

i need to move out. mum is trying to control my life and it is not fun.

i hear someone walking to the stairs and come closer to the bedroom door, a soft knock is heard before sam opens it.

"your awake" he smiles, he's holding a glass of water and paracetamol

"what the fuck happened" i groaned, i sit up and gulp the water down.

"your a huge fucking lightweight that's what happened lac. you threw up everywhere, it was all down your clothes so i gave you mine to wear" he says pointing to me.

i'm in a black nike hoodie and grey joggers.

"can you really not remember anything? your mum is going to kill me"

"the last thing i remember is some woman asking for a picture in the toilets"

"fuck knows when that happened" sam laughs, he sits down into the bed next to me.

"i can never go home, my mum is piiiiissssedd" i sigh showing him the thousands of messages from her.

"she's tried to call me through instagram 3 times already this morning, i told her yer fine but she still doesn't believe us"

"i'm never facing her again"

"yer are an adult you know, why haven't yer  moved out yet" sam asks me, i drink more of my water and take the paracetamol too.

"she won't let me, she babies me way too much. also she's been through shit and i'm her only child now so i can't really leave her"

"but your dad will be with her?"

"it's not the same, my brother died 4 years ago now. car crash, he was drunk. so now every time i leave the house or drink she worries i'm going to die too. then she'll have no more children" i open up to him.

his eyebrows furrow listening to me.

"shit i'm sorry"

"it's ok, it hurt at the time but i've come to realise life is shit and there's nothing anyone can do about it"

"do you want me to drive you home, might be better then you having to get the train"

"yeah that'd be nice thanks"

"lacy hope wright! you have some explaining to do!" my mum yells as i walk through the front door.

"mum please stop shouting my head is pounding"

"i bet it is! your so selfish! after everything this family has been through! taking your body, your life for granted!" she yells

i ignore her and start to walk up the stairs not even caring to listen to her right now.

"i can't wait to move out" i mutter as i reach my bedroom door, she's right behind me following my every move.

"what! say that again lacy i could quite hear you!"

"i said i can't wait to move out! then i won't have to deal with your shit constantly!" i yell slamming my bedroom door shut.
