Aurora Pov

I get dropped off by the girls.

I wave them off and head inside.

I head to the kitchen to wip up something for myself.

Alessandro only gets home a bit later as always.

As i enter the kitchen the sight before me makes my heart instantly drop.

There she stands........

My mother.

I stop in my tracks and just.....stare.

Un-fucking-believable.

She turns around from the stove.

"Aurora" she says all cheeringly and....loud.

My breath hitches as i try to say something. Before i even get a chance to, she rushes towards me and takes me tightly in her arms.

I try to hug her. Just even place a hand on her back. But my body doesn't allow me.

No matter what happens, my body never lies.

She pulls away i look at her. Searching for what i know is there.

Which is: her thin skin; lazy eye; dark circles under her eyes; and crooked smile. All that doesn't belong there. All her beauty.....faded.

"You're.....back" i state with a frown.

"Yeeeaaahh" she says smiling rubbing my arms." Im making some pancakes. I'll get you some" she says walking back.

The only damn thing she knows how to make.

I don't even know what to say.

No i cant take it anymore. I throw my bag down "Where the fuck were you!?" I shout just breaking the unbearable fragile ice.

She's silent. "Mother?!" I ask clear and loud walking towards her.

She avoids eyes contact as her mood drops.

She starts pouring syrup onto the pancakes.

I slap the bottle away and push her shoulder for her to face me.

"You leave and come back like you didn't, the fuck you think im still 13?!" I scream in rage.

Perhaps im like this because i know i have alessandro to take care of me.

She still doesn't look at me and just stares into the ground for few seconds.

3....4....5....6....7....8....

She walks out of the kitchen.

I then hear the front door open and close.

WHAT THE FUCK.

I start to pace around to make sense of what just happened.

Trying to think why she came back. Why she just left again.
