It was 5am on a Wednesday morning when Maya came into your room and woke you up.

"Come on, time to go on our run" Maya spoke as she got your sport clothes out.

"No mom, i'm not coming today, you go without me" you said with a sleepy voice turning back over.

"What do you mean you're not coming? We do this every morning" Maya replied raising her voice a little.

You turned over to look at her.
"I just don't feel like running today mom, it's not a big deal. I wake up every morning to go on a run with you and today... I just don't want to"

"Wow, what happened to eyes forward?"
Maya said shouting

"Mom it's just one day, what the hell is your problem?" You replied raising your voice as you got out of bed.

"Don't speak to me like that, I taught you to be better than this" Maya replied getting angrier

"Respect goes both ways mom, if you're not going to show me any, don't expect any back" You said walking out of the room.

Maya followed you.
"I've never been so disappointed in you, you really are a disappointment" Maya said as she left the apartment.

You were stunned that your own mom would call you a disappointment, after everything you've done to please her. You just stood there, not moving, you couldn't. Your mama Carina come out as the shouting had woken her up.

"Hey bambina, you okay?" Carina said walking up to you. You couldn't hear her, that's all you could hear was your mom's words "you really are a disappointment" over and over again in your head. Carina placed her hands on your shoulders "Hey, can you hear me? Are you okay?"

You jumped a little and just looked at her
"I'm fine, I'm gonna go get dressed and go to the station to see Aunt Andy" You replied walking away from her, she grabbed your hand and looked you in the eye.

"Please talk to me" Carina said looking concerned. You pulled her hand off your arm.

"Oh my god when are people going learn some god damn respect in the house" You replied slamming the door.

Carina couldn't believe the way you acted, she didn't know what had gotten into you. Carina tried phoning Maya but it went straight to voicemail so she called Andy and Andy answered immediately.

"Hey Carina, everything okay?" Andy asked concerned as it was early and Carina never rang Andy this early.

"Yeah, everything's okay with me it's just... Lucia is acting strange, I got woken up to a load of shouting then when I asked her if she was okay and to talk to me, she screamed at me saying that we all need to learn respect then slammed the door. She said she was coming by the station to see you so please, could you see if she will talk to you cause she won't talk to me" Carina replied slowly tearing up.

"Don't worry, i'll figure out what's going on with her. I won't force myself onto her, i'll just see if she talks to me" Andy replied

"Thankyou Andy" Carina expressed letting out a sigh

You were in your room sitting on your bed, you felt bad for the way you spoke to your mama so you got dressed and walked out of your room, you walked into the kitchen where your mama Carina was sipping on her coffee, you just walked up to her and gave her a hug, she of course hugged you back.

"I'm so sorry for the way I spoke to you and the way I acted, you didn't deserve that" You expressed in a croaky voice, struggling to get your words out with the dam you built in your throat.

"It's okay bambina, it happens but please talk to me, I want to help" Carina replied hugging you tighter

"I can't mama, I... I can't" You stated still struggling to get your words out.
