Anomalous Lovers.

That Kiss Triggered This.

"Hello?" I asked through the phone. Nobody answered for a moment and all I heard was rustling. It was creepy, because the number was unknown. "Hel-" "Hi baby." I heard the voice and my heart seemed to cramp up. "Mimi? Baby-" "Mom?" I spoke as my voice cracked. "Yes, it's me?" She sniffled. I was hoping she sniffled from crying, but I knew it was the drugs. The story with my mom can be complicated. Mom was on drugs bad, when I was 14 and dad wouldn't allow us to be around it. So they spilt and that was that. We were doing good for a while. Until he lost his job. Dad never liked us visiting mom, because of her addiction, but I did every Tuesday. Until last year when she just stopped answering the door. I've seen her 3 times since and every now and then she'd call from a burner phone. Even though my mom is way off right now, she's my mom and I love her. I'm just waiting on her to change. I'm very hurt still, because of how she's always disappearing on me. Can you blame me?

"What do you want?" I asked. She paused. "I don't want anything. I just wanted to talk to my baby girl." She lied. She always lies. "Just tell me what you want.." I replied. She sighed. "I got into some trouble and I'm really scared and-" "I can't help you mom." I sat up on my bed. "They said I have 4 days before they kill me. You want me to die? Baby, I need two thousand and that's it. Please?" I was so shocked, but more angered. I had a feeling that she was lying to me though. "You're a grown ass woman. You keep putting yourself into stuff like this. Mama I'm only 17. You can't keep doing this to you. To me, to Amyra, to us! Stop! Please." I say loud, but not enough to wake up everybody. I knew we were about to argue, so I got up to put on my jacket and walk outside.
"So you don't have 2k?" She asks bluntly. "Of course I don't! We're struggling mom. If you happened to give a f**k, you would know that Dad lost his job and the house. I'm not even in Ohio anymore." I told her as I walked down the street. It was cold out. "Where the hell are you? What do you mean?" She asked. "We're staying in Ann Arbor." I mumbled. "And where is that?" She demands to know. "Michigan." I stated as I got closer to the park. "Really? That bastard took everything from me and now my babies." She said angered. "It's not far from Ohio..at all. And what does it matter? You never cared anyways." I said. She got silent. "You have anything else to say?" I asked, practically begging for an apology. She sighed. "Baby.." I waited. "You sure you're dad doesn't have at least 1k somewhere?" I felt that one in the heart. I looked down feeling the tears coming. "Goodbye, mom." I said with a damaged voice, before hanging up. I stood there in silent, holding back my tears. No, don't cry for her. She never cried for you. I ignored my thoughts and cried. I cried and cried, right there. Alone, in the dark, outside. I cried.

"Boo!" I jumped, startled and turned to see nonetheless, Shawn/Scorpio. Whatever. I tried wiping my tears, before he could see. "Are you crying?" He asked in a tone I had never heard in his voice before. I didn't even speak. His reminder, just brought more tears to my eyes. He then did something I didn't expect. He pulled me into a hug. I just let it happen and continued to mope in his arms. Once I calmed down, the only thing you could hear was our breathing. I relaxed and forgot where I was as his fingers combed through the lose waves in my hair. "Hey Miss?" He spoke. "why do you keep calling me that?" I asked. "I like it on you. That's why." He answered. I just nodded. "You wanna tell me why you were crying?" He asked. I sighed and moved off of him. "It's a really long story." I said. "I'm listening." He said as we began walking. "My mom." I answered as I sat on the bench next to him. "What happened?" He asked. "Well..She's messed up. Like she's been on drugs for a while. I don't know which one right now, but it's bad and I never hear from her. But just a minute ago, she called. She didn't say I love you or I miss you..she asked for money instead and...I just don't get how you could bring someone to this miserable world and just leave. How? I'll never do that." I said. He was quiet. I mean what could you say after that? "You don't need anybody to live your life. You don't need her." He said with a smile, staring at me. "You're beautiful alone." He said.

I smiled looking down. He placed a finger below my chin, edging closer to my face and with a quick move his lips met mine. He kissed me. Scorpio kissed me. With passion and lust. He kissed me and made my heart beat faster than ever. How could a practical stranger make me feel this way?
