Message from Mom

Mom: Anna...

Mom: Please come home.

Mom: I'm sorry.

Mom: I really am, honey. Please forgive me. 

Mom: I love you.

Sigh... I would've thought that she'd at least confront me about this in person rather than through text. Even a call would've been better. 

Should I forgive her? Should I forgive her for all of the things that she has put me through? 

All those times I had to take care of her druken self, pick her up in the middle of the night when she had gone clubbing, payed off the bills that she had yet to pay with my money, ect. 

Worst of all, when she listened to that tattooed man when he told her to 'discipline' me by hitting me. When she let him, an unknown stranger, beat me whilst she simply watched.

My very own mother. 

I let out another sigh and simply went to my contacts list and dialed a number I never thought I would willingly dial myself.

Ring.... Ring....

"Hello?" I heard him say.

"Hey... uh, I think that you should check up on mother. I would myself but I don't think that would be such a great idea right now. Especially with how things are between us."

"Mmmm.... okay. I'll do that."

There was an awkward silence that probably went on for a good minute.

"Okay.... bye dad."

I hanged up before he said a word.

I would ask my uncle to check up on her but he is busy with his own company. He had to go all the way to South Korea for an expansion deal. As for my grandfather, right now he is on a vacation with his other brother.

Like I had told my father, things between my mother and I aren't as great as I'd hope. But I will patch things up soon at one point or another.

Right now, I'm a little busy with Liam's unexpected visit.

Dammit... he saw me like that!

Why would he just come without a warning ? The least he could do is give me a call or send a quick message. But no, he just decided to come unannounced.

Man... what am I going to do now ?
