"Shit!"
"..."
"I forgot to pay your medicine this week!"
"..."
It's been a week since we last been to the pharmacy and we need to go back to pay.
"He's ganna make us pay the late fee!"
"..."
She gripped her hair in frustration.
"...I can go..."
She looked at me shocked.
"No no no I would need to go with you, there's many bad people out their Aimi and I don't want you to get hurt."
"Since dad left I wanted to be man of the house, mom...I want to take care of you, I'll go."
I could see tears swell up in her eyes.
"Okay okay, I'll give you the Pistol."
Another thing, since we have low army and police force, everyone is allowed to have a gun by their side at all times. It sounds stupid but theirs people out there that will kill anyone in sight for fun or jealously. We unfortunately own one pistol, believe me we had a LOT of guns until one day my father left home. He took almost everything, actually he did take everything, everything we have now my mother bought. The only thing he didn't take was me... I really did look up to that man but now I have to look up to myself.
"I packed your inhaler, two pills, a bottle of water, your iPod, headphones-"
"Mom I'm just going to the pharmacy."
She chuckled.
"I'm sorry, it's just I've never sent you anywhere by your self..."
"One time, you sent me to the 99 cent store when I was 8."
"But that's when the world wasn't so fucked up."
She smiled, showing her pearly white teeth. She kissed me on my forehead and squeezed me tightly.
"When you come back food will be done! I will make some potato soup with bread!"
She twirled around in the kitchen.
"And tonight I'll make some Tea! I finally found some at the black market!"
"Okay mom." I smiled a bit.
I walked towards the door, opening it making a creaking noise.Then shutting it behind me.
I took out my iPod and plugged in my head phones. I walked down the stairs while putting my iPod on shuffle. The first song that came on was 'Buna no mori de'.
