[Act XXII]: [Eve.]

This feeling, I can't describe it. But, it sucks. It get worse and worse, every single second. I need to do something, but everything I want to do doesn't have a good end result.

I heard a knock on my bedroom door.

"What is it?" I asked, loudly.

"Everything alright?"

"Yes, mother!"

My mother opened the door and walked in.

"You alright?" she said. "I haven't heard from you in a while."

I just kept looking at my phone. "I'm fine, I guess."

My mother walked to my bed and sat next to me and put her arm around my shoulder. "You know I love you right?"

"Yes, I know." I said, in an aggravated tone. I knew this was about to lead to a long talk that I didn't want to sit through.

"I know how you feel." My mother said. "I'm happy that you decided to tell me about this, but there are better ways to handle situations than this. Do you know how I'm feeling right now, having to do this for you?"

I sat in silence. She continued to speak. "Are you going to say something? This is serious. You're too young for me to-"

"Alright, alright, alright." I said. "I don't think you understand. After all that's happened, I got sick of it. When I get sick of a problem, guess what I do? I fix it, mother. And that's exactly what I'm doing. Sure, it's destroying me on the inside, but now I don't have to worry about all this extra stress from outsiders."

"You don't know what you're getting yourself into." My mother said, as tears rolled down her face.

"Is it illegal?" I said, looking at my mother.

"I don't think so-"

"Well, it's perfectly fine." I said. "I think this conversation is over."

My mother got up, and walked towards the door, covering her mouth and sobbing.

"I'm going to get food." I said, as I got up and threw on my jacket. My mother walked into the room. I need to get out of here, I need time to myself. I feel like I'm about to self destruct.

"I solve everyone's problems but my fuckin' own." I said, mumbling to myself.

I walked to the door and put my hood on. My mom was outside her room, staring at me.

"Uhm, Matthew." she said.

"Yes?"

"I love you."

"I love you too."

I rolled my eyes and walked out the door. How long is this storm going to last?
