Hate Is A Form Of Affection (UNEDITED)

Chapter 5:

I change Into My pjs, and go to the bathroom, and brush my teeth. My mom and Claire are leaving tomorrow morning, and my mom would like me to help her finish packing the rest of her stuff, just to finish faster. Once I finish brushing my teeth, I walk over to my moms room. I see a small crack in the door, I see her packing the rest of her stuff and I give myself a sad smile. I knock on the door and slowly open the door.

"Hi mom" I walk over to her side. She looks at me, then gives me a wide smile.

"Hi honey. Would you mind helping your mom out?" I chuckle and grab some of her clothes & fold some of them.
"Of course" I say as I continue to roll the clothes, and place them neatly into her suitcase.

"You know... I'm gonna miss you a lot" my mom says. I give her a hug, and she too hugs me Back. "You'll be back in no time"

We pull away from each other. My mom grabs her shoes, then puts them in the corner of the suitcase. "Riley, can I ask you a question? Please answer it honestly." I give my mom a confused look, then slowly turn my body towards her giving her  my full attention. "What's the question?"

"Do you not want Matt to stay over here?" She looks at me watching my every move waiting for my answer. I wish I could tell her "no mom, I don't want Matt to stay at my house, because he will hurt me, and do things to me that aren't good & appropriate, but all I could say is...

"Yeah, why do you ask?" I ask her playing it cool, so I wouldn't get caught lying.

"Nothing, it's just that when we brought it up you just started to act odd, and weird"

"Like I said, it just caught me by surprise that's all" i continue packing her stuff.
She lets out a small laugh, and shakes her head.

"Okay, I guess if you say that it's okay, then I suppose it's alright " she says. But it's not. We finish packing the rest of her clothes and now it's time to go to bed. "Goodnight mom, I'll see you in the morning" I say giving her a kiss on the cheek. I leave her room, and close the door. I walk to my room, and close my door. I crawl into bed, and turn my lamp off. Tomorrow is gonna be quiet a day. I close my eyes and slowly fall into a deep sleep.

I wake up to the alarm. I get up, and grab my phone, and turn the alarm off. I rub my eyes, and let out a loud yawn. I put on my socks, and walk to my moms bedroom to wake her up. I knock on her door, and open it. "Mom" I whisper. I see that she is still fast asleep in her bed, I have to wake her up.
I walk over to her and Poke her in the back. She responds with a snore, and I couldn't help but too smile. Ok.. This isn't working. I move myself closer to her face. "MOM!" I yell. She jolts up from the bed "What what?!?!. Riley! What the hell, can't you see I am sleeping right now.. Ow my ear" "I'm sorry mom, but you have to get ready, you don't want to miss your flight." I say turning around heading back out into the hallway. "Oh my flight. Right."She quickly gets up from the bed, and grabs her towel. She walks out and goes to the Bathroom to take a shower. When she finishes I take a shower as well, then go get ready. I just decided to put on my favorite baggy sweatshirt, shorts, and my brand new white converses. Claire will be picking up my mom, and I'll be joining them. Matt will be in the car too sadly, but he has to bring their car back over here. I help my mom bring her suitcases down the stairs, and they're a little heavy. "Okay, on a count of three" she asks. "I'm a little scared" I say Laughing because I don't have no idea why I'm scared. I guess I'm just afraid it'll fall on me. She Laughs along with me. "1,2,3, now" she says. We pick up the suitcase, and take it down the stairs. I let out a groan, and eventually we end up at the bottom of the stairs. I breathe heavily and out my hands on my legs. "That was a lot of work" I say smiling moving a strand of hair away from my face. My mom looks at me and Smiles. I hear the house phone ring.

"I'll go get it, it's probably Claire." My mom walks into the living room and picks up the phone. I take her suitcases to the door. I hear footsteps coming my way, and I turn my head to the side, and see my mom coming towards me. "She should be here in about 2 minutes.. Where's my purse?"
