Growing Up with Dallas || C.D.

Fourty-six

I rushed to the house to go get changed and well dressed.

I wouldn't want to apologize dirty and smelling like drugs, alcohol, and sex.

"What are you doing?" Layla asked coming in my room as I put on a new pair of shoes.

"I'm about to go and give the biggest apology I have ever made"

"To who?" She asked as she walked close to me and put her barbie doll along with the fake phone down on the bed.

"To Leyuh. I did something very bad and now I can't do anything but crossing my fingers that she'll accept my apology. Which I doubt" I whispered the last part in my head.

"Well you're stupid because Leyuh is really nice and you made her mad. You are dead bro" She looked at me with worried eyes.

"I got to go. Tell mom I said I love her"

"Okay. She's sleeping I'll tell her later" she picked up her doll and phone again leaving.

"Hey Layla. It's 2 in the after noon why is mom still sleeping?"

"I don't know but she told me last night not to disturb her because she was very tired"

"Huh" I said as I walked down the hall and tried opening the door but failed. "Mom wake up. It's 2 in the afternoon" I said and waited for her to response but no answer.

"Mom?" Layla asked softly.

I banged the door knowing how she hated it so she should answer us but nothin.

"Mom I will break down this door" I yelled for a last chance. "Layla move"

I kicked slammed the door revealing my mom with a needle in her hand and pills all over the bed.

"Why does mommy have a belt around her arm?" Layla got closer as I pulled her away from the scene.

"We need to take mom to the hospital" I said picking her up walking downstairs as Layla followed still asking questions about if mom was okay.

Did my mom overdose?
