"Honey, did you drink your pills?"
"Yes, mom, I did."
They don't work, not the old one, not the new one, nothing worked. "Good, you'll be better in no time."
"I don't think so, mom."
Mom glared at me "What did you say?!"
"It's not working! I still don't remember what happened but I know those people are real!"
I didn't see it happening. Not in a lifetime. I blinked and stared at the floor after a force made me.
MY. MOTHER. SLAPPED. ME.
"How can you even say that? I've spent countless money on you! And your sickness! If it weren't for you, your father would've been still with us! You know why I didn't blame you?! Because of your disease, you freak! Now you're saying that it's not working?!"
Mom was heaving when she finished. I didn't comprehend what she was saying.
The only thing in my mind was that she slapped me.
