Mom: "ARIANNA?!"- I turned my head sharply to see my mother, sober, almost crying at seeing my face. Again, I attempted to walk faster, but failed. I felt a hand around my wrist before being pulled into a hug by my neglecting mother. This felt really wrong.

Arianna: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Mom: "I missed you so much..."- I was smarter than that. She didn't miss me, she missed not being the victim. Like a fool, I believed her.

Arianna: "Mom, I missed you too!"- I hugged her back and we both cried until I finally pulled away. "Are you okay?"- She shook her head and started telling me how lonely she was without me. I knew it was all wrong. It felt wrong, but at the time, I was too stupid to see that. All I wanted was my caring mother that I had when I was little. I thought she was back. I was wrong.

We started talking about me moving back. I decided I would live with her for the last few weeks of school. I could leave everything at my Auntie's and come back home immediately. Apparently, they kept everything of mine untouched. I called my aunt to tell her, but she didn't pick up. She was probably sleeping, and I didn't want to bother her. I walked into the familiarly scented house and regretted ever meeting my mother on the street until she rubbed my back and smiled at me. Something she hadn't done in years.
