It was August 1st, the last day before the day I've dreaded all year, my birthday.

My birthday always sucks. It's the anniversary of the day my mom sent us off to Korea, practically abandoning my brother and I. It brought back bad memories sometimes. But this year I was going to attempt to have a good day tomorrow. But it was hard too when my phone kept blowing up.

My mother had gotten a new number and kept texting me. I didn't want to block her. I was trying to work but my phone kept going off every five seconds wasn't helping my concentration. I picked up my phone and answered her phone call,

"What? I'm trying to work stop calling and texting me."

"Just hear me out please."

"Five minutes. You have five minutes."

"Please come meet me for lunch."

"Why the fuck should I do that?"

"It's not just me. It's Dan too."

"You didn't answer my question."

"I just want to talk."

"About?"

"I'll explain when you get here, just please come?"

I sighed and then heard the door to my studio open,

"Let me call you back."

I said as I spotted my boyfriend in the reflection of my monitor,

"Why?"

"My boyfriend is here and I'm going to talk to him about this. Now bye."

I hung up and spun around in my chair,

"Hey honey."

"Hi baby... who was that?"

I sighed and grabbed my water bottle and drank out of it,

"It was my mother."

"How'd she even contact you? That bitch I swear..."

I cut him off as I held up my finger,

"She wants me to meet her and my step dad for lunch. But I told her I'm going to talk to you about it."

His jaw tightened,

"Well I don't think you should go but it's not up to me."

"If I go, I don't want to bring you in. She'll be even worse if my boyfriend is there."

He sighed,

"Can I drive you there at least?"

"Yeah. But if you're comfortable with it, would you mind staying near by? Just in case I need you?"

He nodded,

"Of course."

He nodded and sat down on the couch in front of me,
