"Suzzie I know you hate me now" mom says,

You've got no idea

"Suzzie please just hear me out, I can answer all your questions" she pleads
I'm writhing with anger and impatience , I don't need some shitty explanation when I'm almost 26  , she should have offered it 15years ago, I might have considered.

"I don't have a single question to ask you"
okay that's a lie, I've got millions of questions to ask

"You have no right to show up at my door step and call me suzzie too" 
I hate the way my name falls from her mouth , like she had the right to be called my mother

" I have some work to do, you should leave"
At least that's something she's good at "leaving"

She stands there speechless, staring at me with  sorry painted all over face, tears in her eyes
She steps backwards and then turns to leave

She gave in too easily, at least she should have persisted

Still trying to fight back the tears forming in my eyes  I slam my door harder than I should
"No! She can't just disappear and appear anytime she pleases" I scream ,
Thankfully my house is sound proof, I wouldn't need to worry about disturbing my neighbors.
All of a sudden I feel so tired
She has no idea what it's been like since she left
I should pay my dad a visit soon, i miss him
I'm not sure I would tell him about her visit
Talking about my mom around him was a delicate
He doesn't need to be stressed emotionally , it could affect his health and I don't want that.

Youth's POV

It's been a terrible weekend, I'm totally worn out
Mom had practical made it tiring ,
I had finally succeeded in convincing her that Sonia wasn't my girlfriend,

On saturday evening, she set me on a blind date ,

my date was a bit pretty, tall and she wore the most horrible Cologne ,  she talked too much ,
She wouldn't shut up,  I was barely able to say three words through out our meeting, she was entirely boring .

On Sunday mom invited my neighbor's daughter Alice over to dinner

it was a mess, I knew the young girl had been obsessed with me, ever since I moved into the neighborhood, she had made tons of absurd excuses just to see me,
It was 11:41pm one night she had came knocking at my door , I had wondered who could have been at my door that late in the night , I opened the door to see Alice , she was half clothed

   "Hey , how can I help you, its so late , what's the problem" I had asked still rubbing my sleepy eyes

"Uhhm ..uhm..uh I ..I ..I saw your kitchen lights still on , you off them every night so I thought it would be nice to tell you , you probably forgottt.. or.... something" she stammered, that was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard in my life ,

"Go to bed" I said ignoring whatever she had said as I slammed the door in her face ,

She had done some stranger things
She had sent 10pizza deliveries to my house in one hour , then she stopped by to make sure I had gotten them,

I got pissed
And  threw them all out.

She must have been  overjoyed when my mom had invited her over for dinner , she came all dressed up like she was on a date with a president,
She could barely look at me in the face  , she had shyly bended her head through out the dinner only stealing glance of me when I was not looking , I could tell
My mom tirelessly tried to match make us 

I felt imprisoned

I excused my self to the rest room, I called Richie , Richie was my best friend we had grown together in ohio then we both picked interest in modelling , after I got hired at bransheight , i pulled a few strings and I was able to get him into bransheight he was like a brother, though he could be a pain all the time,

  "Hey kiddo, " he had said after he picked , I hated that he called me kiddo , he had called me that ever since we were 12, he felt like and older brother even if he was the real immature one between us ,

"Hey Rich, I need your help" I said

"What for? Huh , lemme guess , you have two chicks fighting over you right now?" Richie asked giggling stupidly over the phone, gosh why was he always so annoying

"Shutup idiot" I blared. Beginning to get pissed

"Hahahaha chill man, I was only joking, so tell me what's the problem?" Richie asked ,now sounding more serious, I could tell it was all fake, there would definitely be an annoying grin imprinted on his face.

"Mom came in from Ohio on Friday" I said.

"Jeez man, you never told me, i spoke to her on wednesday but she never spoke of her plan to come to chicago, I should come by soon to see her" Richie said,

Richie lost his mom when he was just 3 , he grew up in the care of his dad, but his dad was always so busy, Richie had made my mom  his own mom, he even called her mom, it was one of the things that drew us closer and inseparable, back in school everyone had thought we were brothers, only our surnames could differentiate us.

"Her arrival was unplanned, she had come to inform me that Isabella would be getting married" i informed.

"Wow that's huge, haha Eduardo got lucky by convincing isabella into a holy matrimony, I hope yours comes shortly after hers, or even before hers" Richie teased,

he knew I hated talking about marriage not to talk of planning to get married .

"Stop it already" I smirked

"Okay okay, just kidding , so what's up"

"Mom has been a pain man, on Saturday she had set me up on a blind date with some girl, then today she invited Alice the stalkie neighbor's daughter over for dinner, Alice is here now, and  all mom's  been talking about through dinner is marriage , believe me I'm sick of it  I can't just walk out,  you know the consequence" I explained.

Richie knew what the consequence would be if I walked out on them, she would get me married in two days once she sets her mind to it, she could be so scary when she means business.

"Hahaha you've got yourself in some pretty web, so what should I do?" Richie asked.

"Just come over right now , pretend  you received an urgent call from Mr Evans , telling us to do something at work tonight" I instructed. I knew my plan was ridiculous but it was the only thing I could think of.

"You know how stupid that sounds right?" Richie asked laughing hard

"I'm serious man, I don't care, I just wanna leave " I said

"Okay buddy, I'll be there in 10hours" Richie said, wtf 10? Fucking hours, he must be sick, I'll definitely be dead before he arrives.

"Hahahaha just kidding, I'll be there in 15mins " he finally said before hanging up.

Pheew
