"Mommy"I called as I held her hand. It was time for her to go and I asked for a moment with her before they sent her off.
"Asia. Is that you?"She said opening her eyes.
"Yea"
"Oh my gosh! I missed you"She said scratching at her skin with the hand that I wasn't holding.
"I missed you too mommy but you have to go somewhere"
"Where?"
"Your going somewhere that will help you"I said.
"No Asia! I'm fine"She yelled.
"No mom! Your a drug addict"I yelled back and she started to cry.
"I'm sorry Asia. I'll go just for you. I want to do better a-and be there f-for you"She said. I heard a knock on the door meaning it was time for her to.
"It's time for you to go now"I said looking down at the floor.
"I love you Asia"She said caressing my face.
"I-I L-Love Y-You too"I said for the first time since I was 10.
"Baby it's time to go"Bryson said walking in with a group of people who I think are from the rehabilitation center.
"Ok. Bye mom"I said planting a kiss on her cheek and walking over to Bryson. I smiled through the tears.
"You know this is the right thing to do"He whispered in my ear.
"Yea"I said as a lone tear slipped down my eye. I really do love my mother, I was just blinded by hate like Bryson said.
After they wheeled her out, me and Bryson left the hospital going home.
"I'm sorry I have to go"He said hugging me.
"It's fine. Work is calling you"I said pushing him away.
"I'll see you later love"He said pecking my lips.
He walked out the house and I went to the living room and turned on the tv.

I was almost asleep when I heard a loud knock on the door. I got up and didn't even look out the peephole like a dummy and opened the door. I was met with August with immediately made me alert. I tried to close it but of course he was too strong. He pushed me inside making me fall and closed the door.
"August. What are-"I cut myself off when his fist came in contact with my face.
"Where is my mother?"
"She's-"I cut myself off when he grabbed me up my hair.
"Where is she Asia??"He yelled.
"Maybe if you stop hitting me. I could tell you"I yelled trying to get out of his grip.
"Who are you talking to? I can take you back home and beat you black and blue"He said dropping me to the floor and punching me again.
"S-She's at a rehab"I said trying to stop my nose from bleeding.
"Which rebab?"He said removing my hand and punching me in the eye making me groan. I could already tell it would swell up.
"I-I don't know"I stuttered out.
I really don't know.
"Stop lying to me"He was gonna stomp my face in so I covered my face. I never felt the hit and heard Bryson's voice.
"What are you doing?"Bryson said pushing him back and punching him the face.
They started to fight and I seen blood making me immediately tell them to stop. Bryson threw him out the house and ran over to me. I was still on the ground.
"Baby! Are you ok?"He said picking me up bridal style.
"I guess. I just wanna sleep"
"Not right now love. I gotta fix you up"He said walking me up the stairs.
"Ok"
