Something Great (H.S. Au)

Just think about it the bigger you are the more space you have for love.

It's finally the end of the day. Nothing happened in English class and the rest of the day was boring.

When I walk into the house I hear someone in the living room it's probably just my mom who just woke up.

I head to to the living room to say hi. She is on the couch watching a rerun of criminal minds, which I have already seen.

"Hey mom."

"Hi"

I tell her about what happened at school during English class even though she probably won't even care.

"It makes you look skinnier, that's good because I think you are starting to gain some weight and you don't need that"

I just look at her in disbelief how can she just say that, it's stuff like this that confuses me one day she compliments me yet the next day she does everything in her will power to make me feel so bad about myself. I don't know which one she means but I know this isn't a way to treat your only child.

"Oh"

After that I just head up to my room and burst into tears about all the mess that just happened to me, sure it isn't that much but I loved my hair and now I have to go get a haircut because Alizea messed my hair all up.

And when you hear something that hurtful from someone you love it's just all the more worse like I know I'm gaining weight it's my body, but you don't have to point it out. It just makes me hate myself even more. I can't even stand to look at myself in the mirror anymore.

I just lay in bed watching different movies on Netflix, because why not.

**Knock knock**

"Honey you have a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 10am so you don't have to go to school ok"

"Okay thanks dad"

"Also your mother told me to tell you that dinner will be ready in 10 minutes"

"Okay"

I put my movie on pause and head downstairs. I'm surprised my mom actually cooked she doesn't like to cook and if we try to get her to cook she just gets a big bowl of cereal and eats it in her room she doesn't really care if we eat or not.

We all eat on the couches because the table is full of rotting food and old dirty dishes. You can't even put the dishes in the sink because the sink is filled to the rim with dirty dishes and so is all the counters around it. The stench is so bad it could kill a cat. I wonder who cleaned the pot, because my mom would not be cooking if the pan was not clean, and she for sure would not clean it either.

I get my foam plate and plastic utensils and go sit on our red love seat. No one really talks while we eat, we just watch the 10 o'clock news.

By the time everyone's done Jimmy Kimmel comes on, this guy is pretty funny but I don't stay to watch it.

When I get back to my room I just head straight for the bed I'm so tired even though I didn't do anything today, but school is very tiresome.
