Sweet Choas

Chapter 3

Ella

        I woke up feeling awful but it was October 28th. My oldest brother's birthday, Alex. We made plans with his fiancé, Victoria that she would convince him to come here for dinner. Alex didn't really like celebrating his birthday, he is always serious and the only person that can make him smile for so long is Victoria. Plus they live 30 minutes away but I'm sure it will be worth it.

I got up and got ready, as I was brushing my hair, I remembered when I ran into Damien few days ago, and how unpleasant it was. I hated him. He always left me in the most embarrassing ways. I couldn't even walk home straight after that because I needed to check up on my mom. She texted me when I was at Bianca's but I didn't mention it to her so she didn't worry.

Me and my mom aren't close. My parents got divorced when I was 13 due to my mom's drinking problems. She loved my brothers but hated me. That's the only reason why my brothers don't contact her anymore, other than the drinking problems she goes through reason. No one really knows that I still text her. My dad wouldn't allow me to text her if he knew, so I kept it a secret.

I opened my phone and read the texts for the 6th time ever since it happened.

Mom: Ekka
Me: yes
Mom: I just diuw be here
Me: what?

I sighed as I threw my phone on the bed and closed my eyes. What was I thinking? Showing up at her house just because she texted me misspelled letters. She was probably drunk and I knew it. Why do I care so much? She didn't even acknowledge the fact that I went to her house and stayed until I made sure she was in bed. Safe. I had to walk home after 8 pm. Alone. At night. That never happens, and I was scared. A lot. For some reason I saw Damien wandering around, and if I'm being honest, it made me feel safer which made me slow down my steps and get home safely. Thank god.
