I've never been picked up before, you said that you would. You said you were too sick to, and I understood. But something in me sank, disappointed I think was the feeling. Then a racist started to follow me and I started seething. I was so mad, I wish you had came. It's just so frustrating and there was no one to blame. Being promised something and not following through, that was another thing you did. I tried to justify it in my head since you do have a kid. It felt so uneven, like I always loved you more. Sometimes I felt like a third wheel, like unwanted chores.
