11...How Could You?

"Come now Erin. I am your mother after all," she said.

"You never acted like it," she rolled her eyes, allowing her inside. Another girl also entered, younger, but looked two years older than Erin. Her hair was brown and her skin was a shade lighter than her mother.

"Hey E,"

"Sharon," Erin turned, leaving to the kitchen. Michael gave her a look of sympathy.

"Be nice baby," he said, grabbing her waist.

"I don't want to. Maybe they should know what it's like to be treated like shit,"

"Erin," she rolled her eyes and kissed him.

"Ok," she said. They went back into the living room and sat across from the mother and daughter. They sat in an intense silence, with Michael holding to her hand. Her mother finally spoke.

"So...who is he?"

"This is Michael. He's my boyfriend," she said while leaning on his shoulder.

"Oh? I never thought you'd ever actually get a boyfriend," said her mother grudgingly.

"Mom!" Sharon yelled. Erin squeezed Michael's hand as her face turned red.

"What? With her ugly ass, someone as sexy as him should be with someone else,"

"Mom stop it! We came here to apologize not bitch about her!" she yelled.

"No...YOU came to apologize. I wanted to see how horribly her life was going,"

"Shut the fuck up you old ass bitch!!" Erin popped up screaming.

"Erin!" Michael pulled her back down.

"Mom, stop it," Sharon said. They sat in a long silence. A long, intense, uncomfortable silence. The tension in the room was so thick, not even a knife could cut through it.

"Erin...I'm sorry!!" Sharon leapt up and hugged her tightly as she cried.

"Sh-Sharon?" She said in shock.

"Mom made me! I never wanted to say those things to you!"

"Shut it Sharon!"

"No! You forced me! You said if I didn't you'd make me be a prostitute for money!"

"Shut up!"

"No! I have been silent for far too long from your bullshit! I've had to live with the guilt of doing that to my sister! She's my baby sister! I love her and you made me treat her like shit!" Erin gasped, she glared at her mother, then finally returned the hug to her big sister.

"Please Erin... I am so sorry,"

"Sharon stop. I don't blame you," her sister looked at her as Erin wiped her tears away.

"I love you...Shae," they hugged again, still with tears in both of their eyes.

"How could you Elizabeth? You forced my own sibling to turn on me," Erin gave a glare towards the woman that Michael had never seen before. It was a look of pure hatred.

"You stole my man from me!"

"He molested me!! And you even stood there and watched! Sharon tried to keep his fingers off of me, but you did nothing!" Erin screamed at the very top of her lungs

"It doesn't matter!! All he ever talked about was you!"

"I was 13!! I was a virgin and he nearly took that from me! I wanted to do it with a man I loved! Not be forced into it!" she yelled, while slapping her hard, hard enough to leave a hand print on her right cheek.
