Finding Ava

Chapter 27

I locked myself in my room for the rest of the afternoon until it was time for dinner. I was expecting for my mom to be gone but unfortunately, when I walked into the kitchen she was sitting at the dinner table. I rolled my eyes and prepared my plate.

Good thing Jacob had common sense and sat next to our mom. I'll be damned to sit next to her. Taking a seat, I blessed my food and began eating in silence. We all sat there in silence for a few minutes until Grandpa Edward spoke up. He was asking my mom about her job but I blocked his voice out after that.

I didn't want to be around my mom much longer so I quickly ate my food. I'm tired of her presence right now. I legitimately hate the fact that we're in the same room right now.

As soon as I finished I got up and went to throw my trash away.

"So you're just going to let her get up from the table without asking if she can be excused? Where the hell are her manners?" Hayden questions loudly enough for me to hear.

I literally broke my neck just to turn to look at her. I don't know who she think she is but she's not about to talk about me like that when I'm in the room. Mom or not. I don't care who she is. I'll hit her without any hesitation.

I may be quiet and all but I will put anybody in their place no matter who they are. If you don't disrespect me, I don't disrespect you. Simple as that.

"Excuse me?" I walked back towards the table.

I know she didn't just say that. I must be hearing stuff? Yeah, I think I'm just hearing stuff.

"I don't know who you think you're talking to but you're not talking to me. I didn't say anything to you so you don't need to acknowledge me about what I do. If I want to get up from the table I will most definitely do it. You have no right to tell me what to do, as of right now. I understand that you're my mother and all but to me you're just a lady that I met today. I don't know shit..." I paused realizing what I just said.

"I mean, I don't know anything about you and you don't know anything about me. So let's get that straight first. When you make up the last thirteen or fourteen years of my life then you can say anything you'd like. But as of right now you shouldn't be saying anything to me. I have manners because I was raised in a well behaved household. I don't care if you don't like that I have to ask to be excused from the table. Maybe I would've learned that if you raised me but unfortunately you didn't which I'm glad you didn't."

Hayden just sits there in shock. I'm sorry, but she had it coming though. I didn't mean to cuss at her but I'm still mad from earlier. When I'm mad I don't really think before I speak. I just say what's on my mind. I don't realize what I say sometimes but I caught myself this time. Well kind of.

Before I can even say something else, that I might regret I go upstairs to my room. Don't get me wrong though. I do feel kind of bad that I cussed at her but she brought me to that point. When I'm fed up I'm done. I just snap.

Entering my room, I go straight towards my bed and lay down. I let out a long sigh as I frustratedly run my fingers through my hair. I picked up my phone and decided to give Yamile a call since we haven't spoke in two days.

• • •

I was on the phone with Yamile for nearly three hours. I explained everything to her that's happened between me and Hayden. She was shocked that I went off on my own mother but understood exactly why I did. I hate when people try to talk about me like they're crazy. Like you really don't know me to be coming at me like that.

I know I'm real quiet but don't come at me like that because I will come back ten times harder.

My phone vibrates repeatedly next to me and I know its a call coming through. I pick it up and see Julian's name flash on the screen.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Why haven't you called or texted me?" he questions. "I've been waiting to hear from you for a few days now."

I don't have time for this. I'm not about to deal with his attitude.

"First of all don't talk to me like you're crazy. Second of all if you wanted to talk to me so bad you could've called or texted me your damn self. And third of all I've been busy." I inform him.

"Too busy to at least send me a text and say that you're fine?" he scolds me.

"Look if you called me just to argue I'm not doing it. So just hit me up when you're not acting like a asshole."

I hung up the phone and let out a scream. Why is everybody pissing me off today? I'm so close to ripping my hair out of my head. I'm really losing all of my patience for everybody.

If I have to I will cut Julian off for the rest of the summer. He needs to work on his attitude because I will drop him just like that. I'm literally ten seconds away from breaking up with him. He keeps pushing my buttons and knows that I have a short temper, when it comes to playing with me.

A knock on the door makes me jump out of bed. I walked over to the door and slowly opened it. I hope its not my mother because I will close the door in a second. The door is fully open and Jacob is standing there with a big smile on his face. I'm still confused to why he's been smiling all day.

"Can I come in?" he asks.

"Yeah." I step aside to let him in.

He walks over to my bed and sits at the edge of it. I closed the door and walked over to where he is sitting. He's still plastering a smile on his face.

"Why are you smiling like that?" I asked him.

"Because the way you just talked to mom. That was amazing! If I had ever talked her that way she would've slapped the hell out of me." he explains.

"That's what happens when someone pisses me off. I don't understand why she got so upset over me getting up from the table."

"Remind me to never make you upset. But she finds that rude when someone stands up from the table without asking to be excused."

The fuck? So if I had to throw up I would have to ask to be excused from the table? By then I would've threw up all over the table and floor.

"Well she's just going to have to accept the fact that I'm not doing that. If she don't like it then there's the door." I shrug.

"You don't have to worry about her because she left and said that she's not coming back over until you fix your attitude." Jacob says.

"I'll fix mines as soon as she fixes hers. Then we can be even."
