"Mom, can I move back?" I say crying into my phone
"What's wrong honey?" She asks worried
"He cheated on me mom, Jack I moved out here and took a risk for him and he cheated on me we were going to get married." I continue to cry as we talk.
"Oh honey, a boy isn't worth those tears clearly he isn't worth your time and he's going to regret that for the rest of his God given life I know it." She says
"Of course you can move home you don't have to ask that sweetheart your daddy and I would love to have you back no matter the circumstances." She says with her sweet Louisiana accent showing clear
"I love you Mom, I'm going to get a ticket back and I will see you soon. Love you." I say
"I love you too sweetheart call me if you need anything." She says and the phone call ends and I sit at the bar with tears in my eyes still.
"Can I get you anything?" The bartender asks
"Um can I get a shot of whiskey please." I ask
"Show me your ID and it'll be on the house." The tender asks and I grab it out of my purse and hand him it.
"Here happy belated birthday that'll be two on the house." He says and I take them both with ease and leave him a ten dollar tip and stand up to leave
"Hey sweetheart." He yells and I look back
"That guy you were talking about he's a real douchebag, he will regret it soon enough." He yells to me across the empty bar
"Thanks." I say and I leave with my suitcase in hand and head to LAX and get a ticket back home to Alexandria, Louisiana.
