20: "Bye Mom"

Chapter includes touchy subjects. Read at your own caution.

Bria

When Chris left, I was even more afraid of what my mom was going to do.

"I just came here to bring you your letters from college, I think it's time you know." She said throwing about eight envelopes at me, all of them scattering on the floor.

"I'm leaving town for a week to see my sister, Brianna I expect you to watch Forest the entire time. That means no dumping him at his friends house."

"Prom is Saturday mom, what am I gonna do?"

"So prom is more important than your brother?! Because if you can't take care of him I'll have to bring him with me."

Forest looked at me, afraid of what my decision would be. I can't let him go through a week with my mom, but I can't miss prom!

"Okay..I'll watch him." I told her, in defeat.

"Good. I'll be back next weekend. And no little boys in here, got it?"

"But Chrissopher is nice! He's teaching Bria French, and he's gonna teach me too." Forest blurted out, causing my mother to glare at him. She slowly bent down to his height,

"Tell me, Forest. Who is Christopher?"

"You just met him, you told him to get out..remember?"

"Yes I remember! I mean who is he? What do you know about him?"

"Hmmm...he goes to Bria's school, he's my friend, he has a nice car, and a nice house."

Fuck shut up shut up shut up!

"You've been to his house?"

"Mhm. It's very big, I watched TV while him and Bria were in his room."

I tried my best to signal him to steer away from this conversation, but again..he's not good at reading my signals.

"Did you see what they were doing in his room?" My mom smiled, knowing she just caught me.

"No the door was closed, but Chris says they practiced french."

My mom stood up and sent Forest to his room, he gladly obliged, no longer wanting to be near her. When he left the living room she stared at me, knowing her...I knew she was about to strike.

Before she could hit me I took off and ran to my room, soon after she was chasing me.

"Don't try to run now you little hoe! You're just gonna fuck that boy with your brother in the same house?! How dare you bring Forest to a boys house and put him in danger?! Get back here!"

She was catching up to me now, so I turned down the hall and ran into Forest's room instead, trying to get away quicker.

She ran in after me, and there was no nowhere to run. She grabbed me by my hair and slammed me on the ground.

"No!" Forest screamed, trying to pull her off of me.

She shoved Forest into the wall and continued beating me, calling me all types of names. Before I wouldn't hit back, since she is my mother, but when I heard Forest crying because she'd pushed him so hard, all of that went out the window.

I began hitting her back, punching her time after time in her face, and anywhere I could reach. She eventually pushed me off of her and stood up.

"You must be out of your fucking mind. Get out!!"
