"What are you doing here?"
My mother smiles and waves at Jo who's being protective and pushing me behind her. I'm scared of her to death but I also miss her. Before she took drugs she was everything a mother could be. Caring, loving, selfless and protective but when she started with the drugs she turned out to be an abusing woman. No one knows about it but Jo and my dad hence her being so protective over me.
"Mrs. Bae I think you should go", demands Jo. However, my mom smiles at me and tries to touch me. When Jo takes a step ahead my mother pushes making her fall.
„Joanne this is a thing between my daughter and I. You better not interfere or else"
She looks back at me and her expression hardens.
"Nara let's talk in private" she asks holding out her hand for me to take.
"I think you should go"
"I'm going to take custody of you"
This time she speaks Korean so Jo won't understand a word. She can't be serious after leaving my brother and I all to ourselves knowing that dad works his butt of to provide for us and is hardly at home.
"I don't want you to take custody of me. You already took custody of-"
"This isn't something you get a say in. Tell your friends to leave. I'm going to grab my things and move in"
"Over my dead body. I don't want you here. Get out"
I'm screaming and my face is turning hot in anger. She doesn't have the right to show up here and destroy the good time I'm having with my friends. Seonghwa steps in and kindly asks my mother to leave the house but she starts laughing.
Before I know she yanks my body towards hers. Her eyes aren't as comforting and loving as they use to be. Evil and desperate. That's how her eyes are gazing at me and I don't like that. This isn't my mother no it's not. A child shouldn't be scared of their mother.
"You better not start any fucking drama now. Get them out of here Nara and we can talk. You'll be able to see your brother since he'll move in with us once we've settled all of this", she threatens in a deep voice.
"I'm going up stairs and when I come back you better be gone. Forever"
I head for the door but don't feel like she got my message. So I turn around and face her.
"I don't need a mother anymore since you're such a disappointment to all of us. I don't want to go through shit like this again. Also consider yourself as lucky since I'm not calling the police"
Exhausted I run up the stairs and into my room locking myself up. Breath. I try to get air but at the moment it's way too hard. I'm having a minor anxiety attack and it feels like my brain isn't getting as much oxygen as it needs.
Someone knocks on the door without stopping. Jo I hope it's Jo. I crawl back to the door and unlock it still having trouble to breath. It's Seonghwa. He gets down to my level and cups his hands in front of my mouth.
"Breath in and out don't stop. Look at me. Just look at me there's no one around us just me and you"
Nodding I breath in and out fixing my gaze on him. My hands reach up to his face and hair. I don't know what I'm doing but it's soothing me. Seonghwa removes his hands and engulfs me in a hug. In his arms I feel save just like last time when I talked about my problem. He carries me to my bed and lays me down.
"I'm sorry that she had to crash our barbecue"
"It's not your fault. Your mom came in unexpectedly," he says brushing my hair from my face.
"Could you talk to my dad. I don't want to talk about her?" I ask
Nodding he places a kiss on my forehead. "I will now get some sleep you've been through enough"
