Chapter one of.. The Undeniable truth (a fantasy adventure love story)
Heyyy:) Please comment and give feedback :) this is my first time attempting to write, but dont be considerate of my feelings :) Stay tuned for chapter two .
The sickening smell of vomit hung thick in the air as i opened my front door. Hanging my black pea coat, I hung my keys and made my way to the living room where I know for a fact my alcoholic of a mother would be, passing the staircase continuing down the hallway the sound of my heels clicking against the wooden floor filled my usually silent house. Making a right I entered the living room, There she sat, Her pink robe stained with vomit, brown hair in a messy bun and pale pale skin, made this sight look extremely depressing. Surprisingly though, Instead of her usual "Let's party it up Luna.!" She sat there solid as stone holding a sheet of paper? But as i inched closer I noticed, it wasn't a sheet of paper, But the picture I had kept hidden from her for many years. Stopping in my tracks she averted her eyes from the picture of my long lost brother and my long gone father, reaching for the bottle of hennssey across from her she toke one long swig.
"They left us."
"No mom, they didn't, or atleast Johnny didn't." I said, reaching towards the picture, but in one swift motion she stood up slightly stumbling and started to rip it into shred's like the mad woman she was. Seizing her by her frail shoulders i shook her violently, This was my picture. what right did she have to rip it? especially since it was the only memory i had left of the people i loved most in the world !
I could feel the hot tears start to spill over and gush down my face.But i forced myself to look into her dull bottomless hazel eyes and for once i could finally see her vulnerability, she was lost in this world, Her son was kidnapped and not shortly after her husband had left her. Understanding hit me in great big waves, as sadness, anger, grief filled her eyes and slowly for the first time in 5 years she began to cry. Finally, a break through. She never showed emotions any more, and as soon as my father had left she had burned evey single thing that reminded her of my him or twin brother. Leaving me with nothing to remember them by, but i had managed to steal this picture that was now ruined.
"Mom, It's okay, I knwo you miss them, I do too. " I said trying to embrace her in a hug, But she pushed my arms back causing me to stumble over my heels and land backwards against the coffee table.My head hit violently against the edge and the warm sensation of blood trickled down my neck.
"Get out, I never, I repeat never want to see you again." She spat, trying to unsuccesfully to throw the bottle at me. The bottle landed a feet away from me and glass scattered all over the floor, summoning up all my strength i picked myself up walked to my car.
How could she do this to me?
