Day and Night

Chapter 9:Stressful

I woke up , and we were almost home.I looked over to my mom whose eyes were all puffy and swollen, and her face was as red as a tomato.She looked terrible.

"Mama?",I asked as we pulled into the driveway of our house.

She looked over to me,surprised. and quickly wiped the tears away from her eyes."I'm sorry Nana...",She smiled,with little cracks in her voice as she talked."I'm just under a lot of pressure.Im thinking about calling your aunt for help."

"Mama I'll say it again...I can stay...",I said, trying once again to convince her.

Her eyes widened, and she snapped her neck over to me.The fur on her tails and ears standing up on edge as if they felt threatened."Nana will you Shutup!",She snapped.My eyes widened."You are eighteen Nana!!!This is not your responsibility it's mine!"

"Mom...",I whispered looking down.

"It's my fault!",She yelled."It's my fault I had kids so young,it's my fault you and your brother had to suffer the consequences!It my fault for trusting your father!It's my fault for doing this on my own!IT'S MY FAULT NOT YOURS YOU HEAR ME!!!",She faced me, her eyes looked like they would burst into flames.I shook my head rapidly like my life depended on it.

My mom smiled, taking a deep breath in and out, and slouched down into her chair.He hair rained down onto her face, and her cheeks were red.She calmed down and sighed."Nana...", I looked up.

"Don't throw your life away"

I flop down onto my bed,looking up at the ceiling.

The younger siblings are lucky.They didn't have to see mom he so stressed out.They don't have to work for anything.I love my dad...but this is no excuse.He's working for us yes,but there is more to family than just money.I wanna see mom happy, and I want my dad to be here.I couldn't care about anything more than that.

I wish I could bake...that usually comforts me.

As I reached morning, I felt the sun's sharp glare my eyes.I groaned, raising my hands above my head.I looked at the time."5:00!",I yelled.

I got dressed, and rushed down stairs where I met my brother who was sound asleep on the couch.I walked over to him, forcefully shaking him awake.

"WAKEUP!!!",I screamed.

With a quick flash, His body flew off the couch, landing onto the soft carpet.

"What?!",My older brother groaned from the floor.

"You have to drive me to school..."

"Oh that...I thought you were joking..."He smirked.

"Get up!",I yelled once more.

"Ok ok!",He waved his arms up in defeat and pointed to the table."Get my keys..."
