John Tucker Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 2-A Bad Night

Mum has been drinking all day,she has had already 4 bottles of vodka and 11 Jell-O shots.
She is smashing plates on the ground and she is yelling at who ever walks past the house.
I want to make sure she is safe but I'm scared she will lash out on me.It is 12:17 am and I have school tomorrow.

I am laying in bed until I hear her scream and something smash on the floor.That is when I jump out from my covers and rush down stairs there she is laying on the ground holding her foot she must have dropped the vodka bottle on her foot because her foot was covered in blood.

I walk towards her trying to be careful that I don't step on glass when I reach her I get a wet cloth and try to wrap it around her foot.

She is hesitant and pushes me away.

"Mum it's me,I'm trying to help you" I say trying again but she still pushes me away

"Get the fuck away from me" she yells at me whacking me with her hands

"Mum stop" I plead trying to put the cloth on her foot because it was still bleeding

"Stay the fuck away from me" she tells again this time trying to cut me with glass

"What the fuck are trying to do" I yell now angry

"Fuck off slut" she then gets up dragging her bloody foot from the ground she moves to the lounge room

Hearing my mum swear at me is quite normal considering she is always drunk so nights like this happen very often.

I get up from the floor and clear up the broken glass before me or mum get hurt.
She is now pumping music in the lounge room and its is now 1:34 am
I walk in the lounge room and tell her to turn it down because I want to sleep but she turns it up more

I walk towards the speakers and turn it off she gets up

"Why the fuck did you turn it off" she yells at me trying to swing a punch but can't because she can't see things properly I move away so she doesn't actually touch me

"Because I want to go to sleep"I say

She doesn't listen,she just walks into the kitchen and gets another vodka bottle before she can open it I take it away from her.

"Fucking give it back now" she try's getting it off me I move and she hits the wall

I put the vodka back in the cupboard and she walks off up stairs

It has been about 20 minutes since she has left to go upstairs

It is finally quiet and I think she has fallen asleep
I walk up stairs to my surprise she hasn't fallen asleep she found old photos of her and dad
I see tears roll down her cheek

I walk to her and sit next to her not saying a thing
She looks up at me with tears in her eye
"What did I do wrong" she says softly sobbing
"I tried so hard for him and.....he.....he" she couldn't end the sentence she just sobbed so hard and hugged me
I held her close too we stayed that way for about 10 minutes until she fell asleep on me.

I got up and laid her properly on the ground.
I got her a blanket so she wasn't cold and then I went to bed it was now 2:21 and I was tired as hell
I had quite more time to sleep.

I went to sleep pretty fast and just dreamt about how our family use to be just me and mum and dad......A Happy Little Family
