Falling skies

I'm a human too!!!

"mom I'm home!!! ",I screamed entering the big Wooden mahogany door that kept the outside world from our home
"Mom"

I screamed again, getting annoyed,school didn't really make my day today and I was already mad as it is

"looks like she's MIA, again"i murmured to myself, savaging through the fridge to find something close to edible

After what felt like hours, but was only  a minute or two, I found a slice of pizza half eaten, pudding and a slice of bread

"well, it's better than eating food off the Grande high school floor "
I smiled to myself, mentally giving me a fist pump

"MOM, mama mommmm"

Looks like Ethan is back yet note the sarcasm, yes even if Ethan and I are twins we never actually connected the way normal siblings do, we fought over everything including whose fart where the loudest, who talked the fastest, we even took it to a point where we actually fought about who had the best dream, so me and Ethan I'm afraid would never connect or be normal

"shut your horse trap, she's not at home dimwit"i hissed at him trying to fit a pizza, bread, pudding combo all In my mouth at once.

"um I don't remember calling your name, frog brain, so shush now Mom, mom, mom"i just sighed at him not because of the insult it was just sad knowing that I'm related to a thing like that, the joy of being me

I got up to go shut Ethan up as much as I like watching him suffer, he was doing some serious damage to my ear drums."Ethan, for the last time mom is not at home,get that into that stuff you call a head "I told him patting his hair, cause I know how much it annoys him.

"finally peace and-... "
"momm"
"Ethan, shut up please"
I screamed slamming my door hard

"Now a little peace and quiet"
And with that being said I dozed off, forgetting everything, from the fact that I still had my clothes on, to the Ethan shouting thing, even the food fight that was caused by Ricky Anderson and I ended up having sloppy Joe's on me instead of inside me, forgetting the fact  that my mom hadn't really been my mom lately, just letting my problems slip away and I slept with a crooked smile on my face

7 hours later

"MEGHAN, wake up"i jolted up immediately as a force of nature because living in the same house as Ethan and all his numerous pranks you always have to be alert even in your sleep

"oh, hey mom when did you get back "I asked her rubbing my eyes to get a better view of the woman I've known for over sixteen years

"About 2 minutes ago, you look tired ,you okay?" my mom asks sitting at the end of my bed

It took about 3 seconds to internalize the question, another 2 to clarify who the question came from and then 5 to actually get shocked,my mother has never asked not after my dads death when I was twelve, had never sat down to ask me if I was fine, so you understand why I am pretty freaked out

"E-excuse me, but did you just ask if I was okay"
I stared at her, mouth hanging and eyes wide open

She chuckled lightly, "is that such a bad thing, I can't ask my daughter how she's doing anymore, is that a sin or some kind of offence"she asked me coming closer

"no it's just that the last time you asked I was twelve and you cared " I replied looking at my fingers as they lay lazily on my lap

'oh sweetheart I'm so sorry, I really, really, really am sorry" she took my hands in hers giving them a light squeeze, I just looked up, smiling at her smiling at me and for the first time in what felt like forever (a/n cue frozen "for the first time in forever, ha jokes *clears throat* back to the story)
My mom and I were actually talking, communicating, not arguing or ignoring each other just talking like how I always saw mothers and daughters talk on TV shows
