Celia~

I press my knees to my forehead. It was far too hard to concentrate right now- my mom was part of the Brookeman Girls at one point?

"Honey please," mother said in a calm but worried tone. I pushed her away from me and continued hyperventilating against the wall.

"Oh my god no," I cried, tears streaming down my face. Mom was trembling behind me. "Please- I'm so sorry, I don't want to hurt you honey-"

"I'm not your honey anymore mom! You can't screw me like you screwed dad!" I screamed as loud as I could. A expression of guilt, shock, and anger, crossed her face. I didn't know how to feel, how to react, my emotions were all over the place. I took two steps back, my mother looked overwhelmed by the whole situation. I felt tired at the moment.
Maybe I could just forget all this and go to bed, I thought. But who am I kidding? By this right I'll be depending on 3 hours of sleep. Four hours if I'm lucky.

But here's the truth, after all I've seen, all I've risked, all I've depended on, you really can't get much shut-eye. The thing I'm living on right now, is a small amount of hope. God forbid it runs out.
