Love&Neglect.
Chapter Four.
Jealousy?
“What?!”
“It’s your mother she got attacked yesterday; I was told to find you here” With no hesitation I jumped into the police car and went straight to the hospital; I think Ivan and his friends followed but I wasn’t paying any attention. I felt the disease ridded air hit me as I walked into the hospital; I could feel the anti-bacterial scent filling my nostrils. I scrunched my face up and went to the reception.
“Erm Hi I’m looking for Mary Wright”
“Who are you?”
“Her Daughter “
“Room 107 second floor” I dashed off to my mum’s room ignoring my surroundings; I didn’t care about anything else but my mum. I walked and starred at her lifeless body; her beautiful skin had turned almost pale white.
“Pandora is that you?”
“Yes Mum I’m here” Her voice sounded so broken; I have never seen her vulnerable like this in my entire life.
“I hate you” Those words attacked me this time not my heart but every part of my body; I could feel my bones break at her words.
“Why?”
“When I needed you; you weren’t there, you went off with your stupid boyfriend and forgot about e” She whispered at me gently ; I felt so stupid , I felt like an idiot , I can't lose her she was all I had left in the world. I began to cry; this time tears of pain and sorrow not pity.
I held on to her hand and she held on to mine. Suddenly she grabbed my wrist and began to squeeze them; her nails digging into my dark skin, pinching at my bones.
"Mum stop your hurting me" I cried out as she continued digging into my skin.
" GET OUT!" She shouted as she let go of my wrist. I ran out without thinking twice. What was I thinking after everything she did to me she deserves to die several deaths.

Ivan's POV.
“How is she coping?” My mum asked as I walked into the kitchen.
“She’s fine; she’s asleep right now” I said with a very unhappy voice; I cared for Pandora so much. I have only known her for a few weeks now and yeah I love her! You can call it ‘gay’ or even ‘whipped’ but I don’t care. I just want her to be happy; she doesn’t need all of this crap.
“Mum I need money” Ray asked as he walked in. I screwed him immediately; this useless 25 year old when I look at him it makes me work harder because I will never want to be like him. All he does is smoke weed, sleep with different type of girls and just be useless to him self and society.
“Why do you ask Mum for money? You’re so inconsiderate” I was getting pissed I barged past him and went to bed today has been a long day and I just wanted some rest.
***
I woke up to the sweet sound of the birds chirping in the morning; I looked outside my window and breathed in the fresh morning air. I walked out of my room and into the bathroom to freshen up.
“Ivan we need to talk” I heard Pandora say as she knocked on the door.
“Yeah what’s up” I replied with a big grin but she smiled back weakly.
“I just want to say thanks for being there for me e_”
“There no need your family now babe” She smiled happily as we drew in for a hug.
