As I throw my basketball in the air and catch it repeatedly over and over again. My mum comes into my room and suggests that i hang out with friends. I take her advice and send a text message to the gang
"Hey guys lets meet up out side the old spot infront of the arcade store".
It was all good, all set to go all i have to do is get their. I dont like leaving mum alone all by herself especially after dad died.
She had become more addicted to alcohol more no then ever before. Drowning her sorrow with plentiful bottles of wine and beer. She always wakes up with a hang over now, and every morning i go through the same routine the glass of water and aspirin.
Leaving the house i cant handle the feeling in my stomach of flipping and jumping. I think its the feeling of doubt i cant help but every time i leave i get that feeling it may hurt but in a way it makes me feel like im doing her a favour. Leaving her to herself and her own thoughts.
I grab my keys and walk out the door.
Getting into the car i place the car keys in the ignition and drive off.
As i drive down all the turns and major alley ways i start to regret leaving mum alone. I know i shouldnt and i know i went through a stage of depression but this thing mum has going on is becoming a habbit. I stop the car and pull over.
I sit there for a while alone in the dark cold night with the stale cool breeze and my thoughts.
When i finally come to the realisation that i cant do everything for my mum and she needs to learn to do this on her own, i proceed on towards the arcade.
Arriving at the arcade i notice both the boys were there Aj and mathew were standing outside the arcade infront of their grey and blue ford mustangs.
