I sigh as I peel back the curtain for the thousanth time. No sign of them again.
I wander aimlessly around the cabin. I realise in this moment how empty my life is when he's not here. Being honest, it scares me. I've tried ignoring the fact that in less then eleven days I will say goodbye to him forever.
If I could at least have his phone number, his social media, anything, to keep us connected . But I can't. When I'm with him, I forget about it, I'm happy. I forget I'll have to go back to the gloom of the café, the constant hell of being with my un caring parents.
Tears bud in my eyes but I sniff them back up. I refuse to let the facts ruin my last few days with Tae.
I wipe my eyes on my sleeve as I enter my room. I havent slept in here for ages. The bed is made perfectly, compared to the rest of the room. Clothes lie everywhere literally everywhere, all over the floor , chairs , windowsil everywhere.
I put my hands on my hips and huff. Cleanup starts now I suppose. I pick clothes I didn't even wear up off the floor and fold them back into my drawer. I choose my outfit for tommorrow and then organise my makeup and sprays neatly.

Knock knock knock

I bounce off my knees and run to the door happily. I fiddle with the locks and swing the door open with a smile. It quickly drops.

My mother stand with her arms crossed observing her nails with a sour look on her face. It twists when she looks up at me.
"Well come on! Move out of the way its cold out here." He tuts angrily and pushes me aside harshly as she enters .

"Where are the adults in charge of this tip!?" She looks scared to touch anything.
"They have friends here, just a block down , they stay there mostly."
She looks me up and down disgusted. "You mean you and him are alone in here ?"
I look at the floor.
"I knew you'd be the type to come home pregnant at this age well I can tell you something missy! Your father will be hearing about this!"
"Omma! We haven't....I'm not pregnant!"
She scoffs. "Oh not yet."
I shake my head furiously amd clench my jaw to hold back my tears. I refuse to cry infront of her.

"Anyway," she changes her topic. "Thata not why I'm here." She smirks evily and steps forward slightly.

"I'm here to tell you we cut all ties after this holiday." She glasps her long bony fingers together. "You will no longer live with us and we are cutting our payements to your photography college application."
My heart drops. Every month my parents would put money into my college application while I added all my wages from the Café in too.
"Omma!" I gasp as I cover my face as tears roll down my face. Without their money I will not only not be able to attend college but I will not have a house go live in.
"Omma...please!" I sob as I cover ny face. My tears wetting my entire face and neck.
  "You have two days once we return home to find somewhere to live." She flicks her gloves out of her pocket and slides them onto her hands.
  "Omma!" I weap as she pushes past me to the door. "Why are you doing this to me!?" I choke angrily through tears.
  "Omma!" I grab her arm gently as she opens the door sternly.
I barely felt her strong gloved hand swipe harshly across my face hitting my in the eye and cheek until the sting and shock settled in.
I cup my stinging , raw cheek and look at her through shocked teary eyes.
Its not the first time she's hit me, but its usually been for better reasons and never this harshly. I could tell there was so much passion with this one.
  "How can you hate me so much?"  I shake my head lightly. "You're my mother."

She smiles slightly and raises her chin.
"You were never enough, you're not enough and you will never, be enough."
  She slinks out the door shaking her head and rolling her eyes leaving me crying on my knees on the floor.
