This was one of the hardest things I had to do. I wasn't only going to have to say goodbye to my aunt, but to my little sister and brother too. I mean don't get me wrong, they can be annoying at times, but they are my Ohana. "Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten." As lilo would say in one of my favorite movies. I started to tear up once we got to the airport. Of course I ask Vic to go with me, because I know I wouldn't be able to drive to work afterwards. I got the job at hot topic, and I had to be there in 30 minutes. But I had to drop off Bella and the kids at the airport first.
"I'm gonna miss you guys so much" I said grabbing my siblings into a tight hugs. "Well miss you too" Alexis said holding me tight. "Yeah" Julio agreed. Who let go and went, and gave Vic a hug too. Soon we said our goodbyes just as the speaker announced that there flight was getting ready to take off. Just as they started walking away, I busted into tears. "Don't cry babe, you did the right thing by sending them with Bella. They don't need to be living in that mess, and either do you. I wish you would just come live with me." Vic said rubbing my back while I cried. "Come on I need to get to work" I said ignoring what he said. Vic has been asking me to move in with him. His mom doesn't care, she said she wouldn't mind. That I can stay in the guest room, but I told Vic I couldn't. We were just talking about it yesterday, and I told him.
"Vic I would love to live with you, but right now is not the time, I need to try and help my mom out. I can not let her stay this way for the rest of her life. My father wouldn't want that. He would be so disappointed, if I left her alone. I can not leave her with that monster" I said and then I changed the subject.
Vic had dropped me off at work, I had to run, because I was about to be late. I finally got in there and punched in, I was working with this cute shy kid. He was adorable though. He was the boy who was suppose to help me get a handle of what to do at work. I walked in to the front of the store, and saw him standing there. I looked him up and down. He was a little taller then Vic. He had a couple tattoos on both his arms, you could tell he had snake bites, cause you can see were they used to be. Just then he looked up and saw that I was staring at him.
He blushed, which made me aweeeee in my head. "Hi Tony" I said walking over to him. "Hi Amber" he said blushing looking away. "What do I have, to do today? I said noticing that he was wear a turtle necklace which looked really sweet. He noticed my stare and looked down, and touched it. "Um.. nothing really today always runs slow so we bearly do anything. Mostly I just sit around." I nodded and sat down behind the cash register. Me and tony got to know each other a little better, I found out he loves turtles and star wars. Which I found out to be awesome, cause I did too. There were a few costumers here, and there. Finally it was time for me to leave work. Vic picked me up and took me home. He was busy so we weren't going to hang out today.
I walked into the house, at first I thought no one was home, cause it was too quiet. I was just about to go upstairs when I heard movement in the kitchen. I went to see who it was, I walked in to see my mom sitting on the floor. She of course was drunk. I went, and helped her up, and took her to the living room. I sat there and she was just staring at me. Frank wasn't around so I decided to see if I could talk to her. "Mom can I talk to you?" I said softly. She just nodded her head. "Sure, what is it bam...Bambi." she said slurring my name. At first I just sat there quiet. Then finally I said, "Mom, why are you doing this to yourself?" She looked at me, and said. "Because it makes frank happy, I'll do anything for him to be happy, I love him." I just looked at her like she was crazy, then I got upset. I had enough "WHAT THE FUCK!?, are you serious, your gonna change into this. I said moving my hand up and down in the air pointing at her. Just for a worthless piece of shit of a husband. You rather make him happy, then your own fucking family. Do you really call yourself a mother?"
I screamed at her. "What happen to my mom, your not her. This isn't the person I remember when I was little. Dad would be so disappointed in you" I said just as I felt the left side of cheek sting. I looked up at my mom with wide eyes. I started to cry "DON'T YOU EVER TALK TO ME LIKE THAT AGAIN YOU... YOU BITCH!" My mom yelled thru clinched teeth. Just as she slapped me again. I got up a ran upstairs into my room. "I hate you" I said just as I slammed my door. I knew she didn't mean to call me a bitch, she drunk. I feel bad for the way that I talked to her. I just laid in my bed and cried, I decided to get up and climb out my window, and go sit up in the tree.
"I'm sorry daddy, I promise I'll do anything to help her, I promise ANYTHING!" I yelled the last part, looking up into the sky. I talked to her at the wrong time. I will have to talk to my mom, tomorrow morning when she was sober. That's exactly what I'm going to do. Sit down, and talk to her, and tell her exactly how I feel.
