September
It was a fine day. Cherry and I were at the Spinally Coffee that afternoon, grabbing sandwiches and smoothies.
"Now to come think of it, you do look good with a bang." Cherry complimented my haircut.
"It's been a week, bish. I do look good with anything." I responded.
I think it's a habit of mine to cut my hair whenever I want to get rid of something, such as ex-boyfriends.
It gives me a new vibe too. Whenever I feel very miserable, I might just cut my hair or move some furnitures around in my room. It feels like a reset, like I'm turning to a new me.
I still get to bump to Harry sometimes in the Uni. He's not paralyzed yet. I really hope a bus will hit him hard later.
Me, I think I'm completely free from him already. That's the thing I realized about me, hard to fall in love, when I do, I fall hard, but when it's time to say bye bye, I'm not turning back. It's been a month now anyways.
"Can you come home early? Let's have a dinner tonight, I'll bring you and Yumi to steak." Dad texted me.
"YESSS!!" i raised both my hands for happiness. "We're having steak tonight!" I stuck my tongue out to Cherry.
Cherry rolled her eyes and pouted.
"Okay dad. I'll just go straight to the restaurant." I replied.
"No let's have it at home. I'll cook for you guys." dad insisted.
"Oh, okay then, I'll come home early to help you out." i replied.
That evening, after Language class, i picked Yumi up and drove back home. I don't know why we don't have a driver. We only have a maid. No gardener and no security.
I parked outside the garage and went inside. Dad is in the kitchen, cooking and what not.
"Go change your clothes honey you don't want sauces on your shirts." Dad claimed.
"Doing great, dad!" Yumi shouted and ran upstairs.
"Seriously dad? Champagne? Yumi is joining what." I voiced out walking near the island.
"So? It's for me by the way. Even you are not allowed to have that." Dad responded. Eyes on the cooking, not even looking at me.
"Dad?" I whispered.
"Yes sunshine?" His voice faded.
"Did you cry? Your eyes are red, and, and swollen." I said in a low voice, trying to scan and figure out my dad's emotion.
"Uh.." he tried to find the best excuse for that.
"I'm ready to dig innnn" Yumi jumped 5 steps from the stairs. All excited for them steaks.
The conversation got cut off and we had dinner. Dad tried to talk alot. I think this is the first time we're having dinner together for this year. My parents are so busy we couldn't eat together in the same table.
Mom isn't home yet. It's just us three, and dad is getting drunk. Me and Yumi couldn't stand up from our seat and just listen to dad's nags and gibberish talks.
"I'm sor, ry, girls may, be I, didn't appre, ciate all of you be, fore." he tried to talk between hiccups.
Yumi hold his hand and stroked gently. "It's okay dad, we know you're trying hard for us."
"Only if I could put alot more care and attention to your mom, she wouldn't do that thing." he stood up without balance and walked towards the stairs, with tears on his face. He lost his balance and passed out on the floor.
Yumi and I stood up immediately and carried dad to the sofa. We put a blanket over him and let him sleep.
I showered late at night, thinking of what mom could possibly do that made dad like that. It's kind of sad that dad actually have that soft side if him. It's 1am. Yumi is asleep. Probably tired for today.
Me, being a curious cat, went downstairs and found dad's phone on the dining table. I switched on his phone. Password. Uhh I tried his birthdate, wrong. Mom's birthdate, wrong. I tried 0000, correct. I unlocked dad's phone.
An unknown number sent dad a video of a security camera in a hotel. Date: today. Time: 4pm. Mom was there, clinging her hand with a random old man towards the counter, and eventually walk towards the elevator.
Another video shows them walking inside a hotel room. Room number: 2409.
My mind all messed up. Trying to calm down and trying to think all positive but there's no positive things here. I bit my lower lips and my right leg moved in anxiety.
I grabbed my car key and drove to the hotel. Crying inside the car again. Oh my poor car, witnessing all my tears. Is this even true? What if someone tried to slander my mom? What if it's, ugh I cant think straight.
I jumped down from my car that i parked infront, with my baggy white tshirt that says rabbit is a friend, pink sweatpants, and furry slippers. I went straight to the counter and said I left my card. After using my mom's full name and ID number, they gave me the room card. Probably pitying me because there's still tears on my face.
I was infront of the room number 2409. It's a suite room. Wow. I hesitated, but I need to know the truth. My dad's face crossed my mind and I unlocked the door.
It's dark, so I switched on the light. My mom was on the bed, wrapped with a comforter, with a stranger I don't know.
"MOM!" I screamed and my knees bent. I fell on the floor, at the corner. Cried as much as I could. I closed my eyes and bawled some more.
My mom woke up in disappointment and wore her bathrobe. She walks to me and tried to pull me up.
"Don't touch me!" I pushed her away and stood up.
Her hand slapped me in the face. Real hard. She sighed. "Come on Amy its midnight. People are sleeping! Go back home!" she shouted.
"What's going on here?" A security just came, he looked furious with his thick moustache.
"Please get her out from here." My mom demanded.
"Mom.." my voice cracked as the security dragged me to the elevator and pushed me out from the hotel.
I can feel my tears rolling by my cheeks, not stopping just yet, leaving me so weak and frail. I rambled to my car and sit there without the engine switched on nor the aircon.
My tears broke free like an unbroken stream. It feels like as if the whole world is crumbling down. A lot more different then what i felt when Harry cheated. My mom, my mother. I struggled to stop my tears from falling. Nausea, anxious, it's hard for me to breathe.
She's not even sorry for me. As if what she did isn't her fault. I lost my respect, and most importantly i have lost my mother. The sun started to rise, that's when I realized i've been in the car the whole time. Not even sleeping, just lost in my own thoughts.

AN: Life is tough, my darling, and so are you.
