Chapter 22: Emotionless. . .

Ink's P.O.V ( Sorry I have not been writing lately because I have been really tired from the wedding and I haven't been getting enough sleep lately, So if I haven't been posting chapters, I'm really sorry T^T I feel really bad that I haven't been updating. And I'm also writing a story commission for a friend and I'm starting story commissions and art commissions, So if you want art or a story, you can find me on Amino on the Amino called 'Coin Commission's'. Private message me for what you want for your story or art)

I felt like I couldn't feel anything. I felt like all of my motivation is gone, non-existent. Why do I feel this way, you ask? well, it all started when I had gotten home from Error's therapy session...

*Flashback to yesterday*

As I was walking home from Error's therapy session. I felt really happy that Error was happy about getting a therapist. When I got home I see my mother talking to someone on the phone. I was confused at first but then I just thought that she was calling for her to get herself a new job because the job she has currently keep's her up all night and she always looks super sleep deprived(Like me right now XD). But, of course, yet again I thought that I had assumed wrong. She ended the phone call and noticed me standing there with a confused look on my face. She sighs and comes up to me and puts a hand on my shoulder,

" Ink, I want to tell you something. It will be a big change, but hopefully, you'll get used to it" I had no clue about what she meant by a "big change", so I was even more confused than I was a couple of seconds ago.

" What do you mean Mom by" big change"?" I asked her, She seemed to be taken aback by my question. She then does another sigh and takes her hand off of my shoulder.

" So, I have been searching for a new job and nobody wanted to hire me, So, I found this add in the newspaper for a place that needed workers. So I called the number and they said they would hire me, and my first day is tomorrow " She says as she shows me the newspaper. She then points to the ad she was talking about.
" So you're working as a...waitress?" She nods, not seeming to enthused about being a waitress.
" The pay is alright and there is one con to it though, the restaurant's downtown" So, she is going to waste half of her day going downtown, the most dangerous place where we live, just to work as a waitress, and the pay isn't even that good for that matter.
" Mom, you know there are other jobs, right?" I asked her as she looked at the ad another time, for some reason.
" I know, but the other ones are further away and this was the closest one there was, Ink I know you don't want me to do this job, but it's the only way for me to afford our house and my old job was not enough to pay to cover this house and because of that I had to work extra, so please don't argue with me" She says sympathetically to me as she looks me in the eyes, while holding both my hands in the palm of hers. Kinda reminds me of when Error holds my hands, calmly, soothingly, and other things I can't describe. She lets go of my hands and kisses my forehead.
" I know it's been a long day for you as well, so off to bed Ink you've got school tomorrow" I nodded and kissed her cheek and went upstairs.

I got ready for bed and fell asleep. But, for some strange reason, I had a nightmare about how Mom's job will go. Then as the night progressed on there was this one part where I imagined something horrible, something like a black shadow figure and my mom ended up...dying. I shot out of my sleep and clenched my shirt tightly. I could feel tears dripping down my face. I wiped them away and tried to calm myself down. I noticed that I couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard I tried. I sat in my office chair and started drawing in my sketchbook till sunrise, then I fell asleep on my desk, yet again.

I wake up to the sound of my mom's soothing voice, trying to wake me up
" Hmm?..." I said sleepily as I opened my eyes to the brightest sun I have seen in what seems like forever.
" Ink, you should hurry up or else you'll be late for school and I'll be late for my first day of work, " As soon as she said that I sat up quickly and rushed to get ready for school. After that, my Mom and I got in the car and we started driving to my high school. I got there and left the car. I had one more minute left to spare till school started. The bell rang and I rushed inside. Can't believe I was almost late, again.
* Tem skip to the end of the day because I'm tired*

After school, I got into my Mom's car and I noticed she had a scratch on her arm. I got severely worried about her so I asked her in a very worried tone,
" Mom what happened to your arm?!" I felt like I shouted that out of me being worried sick for my mother.
" O-Oh it's just from work, nothing to worry about Ink," She said with a tone that I could tell that meant she was lying.
" A-Are you sure Mom?" I asked more calmly this time instead of me shouting making me seem like a maniac.
" Yes, Ink, I'm alright don't worry about it too much alright sweetie," She says and she kisses my forehead. She then starts the car and starts to drive home. I still feel like she lying. This whole "new job" of hers seems sketchy.
