BAD

Chapter 13 •Lies•

{Alaskas Pov}

After breakfast I asked jack to drop me home. I needed to explain to my mom everything that's happened and tell her about how Todd abused me. He agreed and he dropped me off. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and thanked him for breakfast then he drove away. I prepared myself before walking up to my front door. I opened the door to see the large unfamiliar hallway. As awesome as this new house was, I really missed our old one. The only thin that was familiar was the comforting smell of my moms famous brownies that she always used to make for me, she didn't as much anymore which is why it was such a relief to get the waft of warm brownies the minute I stepped in the door. It brought back happy memories. "Mom?" I called out. The second I said it all I heard was my mom shrieking and the sound of her running in her stilettos, although I'd more consider it a kind of .. staccatoed type walk. When she was at arms length she threw herself onto me, mainly because of the stilettos, but the tears in her eyes showed that she really did miss me as much as I missed her. "Sweetie where have you been? I've been worried sick about you." She said in between kisses. "Mom I need to talk to you. come sit down" I said leading her towards the sofa in the living room. I sat down on the soft cushion. Fortunately, we kept our old furniture when moving. I motioned my mom to sit on the couch opposite me. "Alaska what the heck is going on?" "Just please mom. Sit." She did eventually and waited..

I waited too. I waited for the ground to open up and swallow me whole. How the hell was I going to tell her about everything. I looked at her. Worry on her face, fear in her eyes. I took a deep breath and began. "Mom there's something you should know about Todd.." "What? What is it? Is he alright?" She asked frantically. "No no mom listen. Seriously promise you won't interrupt?" "Ok ok I promise.." She said. "Ok so one day I was walking home with Matt.. I dropped him off then started walking home. It was getting pretty dark so I upped my pace. When I got to the entrance of the estate I seen someone standing at the door."

"Oh don't tell me we had a robber-" "mom listen!"

"Ok ok I'm sorry, I'm sorry.. Go on.."

"So as I said I noticed someone, standing there. Then the closer I got I seen it was Todd, and as you know I fucking hate Todd so I wasn't exactly jumping with joy when I seen him. Especially when I thought he was supposed to be in jail?!?. Anyway I asked him what he was doing here and he was really mad and just said it was none if my business but of course it's my freacking business if this is my house. So I told him that then told him to leave. But before I could finish my sentence he smacked me across the face." I was looking straight at my mom now. Her mouth open. I continued, "he started telling me that you two are back together now and that I can't stop him and stuff. That's why I had dinner in my room that night, cause he told me too!" I looked at my mom who was looking straight at me. But this time differently.. She looked at me as if I had just stole a child's candy bar. I waited to see what she was about to say.. Then she stood up. But instead of "oh my gosh you poor thing baby are you okay??" I get "oh Alaska..You always were an imaginative kid"

"Sorry what?"

"Look I know you hate Todd but trying to break us up with these terrible false stories are not the solution."

"what the hell?! Mom!?"

"Yes?"

"You actually don't believe me?"

"Nope"

"Mom I'm legit not even messing like I swear to you."

She just laughed and walked away. I felt my eyes filling with tears, how could she not believe me about something like this?? I sprinted up to my room before bursting into years on my bed. I can't believe that my own mother won't even believe me I thought to myself.. I can't stay here.

I started packing a bag and once i was done I jumped out the window. I'll just go to jacks- no fuck I'm not talking to him. come on.. think Alaska, think..

Then it hit me,

Matt!
