S£ll Out

Selin burst through her mother's bedroom door. "Shit,ma, put on some damn clothes!" Selin's eyes widened at the horrific sight of her mother,Alissia, and a stranger laying naked in bed. Selin shut the door and put her back against it.

"What do you want?" Alissia screamed. "I need you." Selin said. "I'll be with you soon." Alissia replied.

Selin looked down at herself and then at her bedroom, her eyes made contact with bare walls, a bit of mould growing in the corner, a broken down bed,a picture in a frame, a lamp and a box which contained every item of clothing she owned.

Alissia walked in to Selin's bedroom. "What is it that you want now? More money, more clothes?" Selin could smell the alcohol on her mother's breath. "You're drunk." Selin wrinkled up her face in disgust. "Who's the man in your bed?" Selin asked.

"Umm." Alissia giggled. "I don't remember. I'm a grown woman, last time I checked I was the mother and you was the child, I'm thirty one not thirteen!" The little vein in Alissia's forehead was at full attention. Selin looked down and saw that Alissia had a bottle of alcohol in her hand.

"Do you even remember who my father is? Can you remember who you slept with, I know there was a lot of them but come on, give it a guess." Selin chuckled an emotionless laugh.

Selin was met with an almighty slap to her cheek. Selin gasped as the unsuspected shock knocked her off of her feet, if Selin wasn't chestnut Brown, her cheek would have been bright red.

"That's going to bruise." Selin uttered. "Everything I do, I do for you, you ungrateful bitch!" Alissia screamed. "Yep, you drink for me right? Get wasted and sleep with yet another strange man for me right?" Selin screamed.

"Right, that's what I thought." Selin shook her head. "Never have you ever put me first!" Selin shouted at Alissia. "I have suffered years of bullying because my mother had slept with the other kids' father's, ruined their marriages, I was kicked out of my first school because you decided to try and get with my head teacher, you're the reason why my life has been nothing but shit!" Selin threw on some jogging bottoms and a pair of Bred 11's, she grabbed her purse and walked towards her bedroom door.

Alissia stood in the same spot, drinking alcohol straight from the bottle.

"Was you even listening to anything I said?" Selin asked as she pulled out three hundred pounds in notes from the hole in the wall next to her door.

"Nope." Alissia chuckled.

"What have you actually done for me?" Selin asked while she picked up her rucksack and put the money and some pairs of clothes in it.

"Shit all." She said as she slammed the front door.
