Work was uneventful. And a little boring. But I'm glad 4 o'clock rolled around when it did making it was time to go home. Getting in my car still a little nervous about driving , I decided to take a right instead of left. That would mean I would have to make a u-turn at a gas station. When I just saw car after car going, it made her jittery and panic. So instead of taking forever and holding up other behind me, I decided to go right to save herself the trouble of the first day back to driving. Don't get me wrong, I know I will have to take a left turn sooner or later, but I wasn't 100% ready for it today. And to be honest I'd rather it be later then sooner.
I don't have a lot of confidence in my driving just yet, let alone at all. Not after doing something incredibly stupid driving. So I'll play it safe. When I got home I hit the shower immediately; I always felt dirty after work and I hate the feeling. Feeling refreshed after having a quick shower and dressed in my pajamas I called my one and only bestie. Pagie.
"Hey, wassup." A chirpy, cheery voice says on the other end of the phone. An instant smilingformed on my lips. I couldn't help it, Paige always made me smile no matter what. Morning, noon and night. That girl had a gift for making people smile and laugh like it was her own personal occupation. I swear.
"Just got off work, but guess what?! It's Fake Friday." I squealed, excited. I just started my happy dance when it hit me. I hoped my best friend in the wide world did Not forget that this weekend Pagie was all MINE. "Oh my gosh, it is isn't." Pagie squealed back at me almost instantly. A little too quickly, if I do say so myself. "Don't tell me you forgot." Groaning because I knew my friend and she most likely did forget. But I had to admit, it wasn't her fault. Pagie's mind was always going in a million different directions. It's one of the things Pagie hated about being an ADHD. And yes she went to the doctors about it, but like they did anything about it. They just gave her drugs that made her feel funny so we all agreed she not take them unless it was necessary.
But it's not like I have room to talk, with all the issues I have. It was one of the many, many reasons we got along so well, that and our lives were like the same coin just that she was tails and I was heads. Or the other way around, whichever way you wanted to look at it.
"NO!!" Pagie say waay to quickly. Giggles escaping from me, "Yes! Hehehe. It's ok just please tell me your not doing anything tomorrow. I really need some TLC. More so the L than anything." There was a pause on her end of the phone. Sigh. "Yes I am free tomorrow. Why do you need some L especially? What happened." I knew this would happen, but what can I say my bestie always has my best interest at heart and my well being. And she always jumps to the worst and you can't blame the girl for that seeing as who my mom has become.
I remember, vaguely, once where my mom was fun and loving but ever since I grew a spine once, just Once, she changed. And it wasn't even in the wrong. Honest. I know every kid says that about their parents, but honestly I was telling the truth about a guy being..... inappropriate with more than a few kids.... so ever since he went bye bye for a good reason, it was like a switch was flipped and I was the punching bag. Whether or not it was emotional or physical just depended on her mood. That is until she figured out I'd rather be beaten to a pulp than given a bad tongue lashing. Mom always, Always knew exactly what to say to cut and cut deep.
Her voice turned to worry, Pagie knew about how I saw myself and why she saw myself the way I did. She also knew I had scars that ran deeper than she could heal. But it never stopped her from trying. "Did your--" I cut her off before she could finish that sentence. "No, nothing like that. I'm fine really. Today's... a better day." Speaking as calmly as possible, knowing she would know exactly what I mean. And it honestly was... so far at least.
