Moving On

Asshole much?

"Do you even love me?" Kaylen asks me for the tenth time this morning.

"Of cause I do!" I answer rolling my eyes, even though he can't see me. "Where is this all coming from?" I continue.

"I want you to prove it then," he sighs and then continues "show me you love me."

"Not this again, it's like 8am can you call me later?" I ask hoping he takes the hint.

"It's now or never." Wait, what? Did he just do what I think he did.

"Stop beating around the bush, what's that supposed to mean?"

"If you can't give me what I need I think its only fair that I look for someone who will." He says in his challenging tone.

How do I know? He uses this tone every time he wants to have his way with me. Whether its the movie we should watch or where we should have lunch.

"Get lost." I hang up before he could say anything else. Switched my phone off, so I get some peace and quiet for a while.

Two hours earlier...

"Alicia wake up!" Robin(my mom) screams from the other side of the door.

"In a sec!" I yell back walking towards the door. I swing my door open revealing a anxious looking mother.

"Thank God you're up!" She says smiling halfheartedly "They called me in again and I'm already running late, you'll be okay by yourself?"

"Yeah," I answer, then something clicks in my mind. "where's dad?" I ask curiously.

"I have no idea and I really have to get going-here-bye" She says, handing me a R100 note. She doesn't want for a reply as she turns on her heels and walks down the hallway.

"Guess its just me today" I say to no-one in particular. I walk to my bed and slide under the covers once again, hopefully to go back to sleep again.

And I did well that was until, Kaylen called me with his "prove your love" issue. I don't understand where this is all coming from but with him you never really know.

Hours later...

I was watching NCIS as usual when I heard someone banging at front door. So I walked down there still in my brown onesie and all, to see who it is, I cracked open the door a bit to be revealed to a drunk father.I sigh and open the door to let him in. Stan- my father- has been drinking more frequently. Ever since my mother caught him cheating and to say things haven't been good would be putting it lightly.

"Ally," he says, "where's your mother?" He asked so pained. And for a second there I kind of felt the pain for him. "She went to work, overtime." I reply before walking back to the living room I was in a few minutes ago. He walkes- more like stumbles- his way behind me. "Did she say when she'll be back?" He askes with nothing other then hope laced in his voice. "No she didn't" not that you'd care. I add mentally.

Suddenly he gets up and walks towards the hallway. Going to sleep it off. I tell myself and just before he dissapears completely he speaks "I'm gonna sleep, tell your mother I would like to talk to her when she gets back. Okay?" I nod not wanting to get into details. He nods himself and walks to their room, closing the door behind him.

I refuse to think about my family  issues so I just resume NCIS and let myself get glued in it.

Before the show ends my phone vibrates beside me. I snap my head to it to see who would be calling me, while I'm watching NCIS. Bestie it reads great just great.
