Her hand dragged across the side of my face. I gripped my cheek as the familiar stinging sensation erupted. It's sad to say, But this is normal. I've almost grown accustomed to it. If she wasn't throwing things at me, Or hitting me with objects, She was hitting me with her bare hands. Why don't you fight back? Because she's my Mother, I love her and I have to respect her because she brought me into this world...That's the ONLY aspect of respect I have for her.
I didn't react to her violent behavior, Because when I did, It just made things worse. I walked away, Which takes A LOT of strength and maturity from a fifteen year old. I went into my room and grabbed my bag and my phone and left. I quickly dialed my Mom's number. Obviously, She's not my biological Mom, But she's more of a Mom than mine has ever been.
"Hello"Her tired voice spoke into the phone.
"I'm on my way to your house"I informed her. She's the only one that knows about my Mom...The situation.
"Okay"She sighed loudly. "You know where the key is. I'll be home later, Zae's at her Dad's"-
"Okay, Bye"I said before I hung up.
I threw my bag over my shoulder as I began my walk to her house.
I arrived like ten minutes later. Unlocking the door, I let myself into her house. It was like five, Lisa won't be back until around nine, So I got comfortable...
* * *
Alizae came back around seven-ish. Zae is Lisa's daughter-Biological...
"Hey!"She greeted me as I let her in. "Does Mama know you're here? "-
"Mhm"-
"How long you stayin'?"-
"As long as I can"I chuckled. But it really wasn't funny. I shouldn't want to be anywhere but my house, But that's how it is. I'd literally rather be ANYWHERE but my house. Around my Mom especially...Sad, But I mean, It is what it is.
I'm not complaining though. I can get through it. I've gotten this far, I only have a couple more years before I'm legal. I got a life to live. Just because my Mom is messed up, Doesn't mean I have to follow her. The world doesn't revolve around her, Sorry.
You probably think I'm cocky, Arrogant, A brat, A whole list of things, But once you've been through what I've been through, You end up not caring what other people think, Because at the end of the day, They're on the outside looking in, They don't know the whole story...
* Kind of short, But it's just the start. What did you guys think? I want to know your personal opinion on Jailyn.*
