I started tearing up by the roadside.. What the heck was I thinking to get myself into such a big mess.. I'm penniless, homeless.. I'm a totally wheck..

-Flashback-

It took a lot of courage to finally stand infront of my door house. I'm finally coming back home. With a huge tummy on me. Yeah, I wasn't the typical stay home listen to my mommy type. That's when the door suddenly opened with my mom standing infront of me with her huge mouth opened. I guess she was about to leave as I could see her handbag on her shoulder. Her face changed in a matter of seconds. I guess reality finally sank in her. Skipping all the normal formalities,she started yelling at me.

"What the heck were you thinking? You are only 18 years old! You have no job! How the heck are you going to bring up this unborn child! Wait! How far are you now? We could still get an abortion right?" Goodness.. I'm still standing infront of the house when she decided to vent all her anger. Couldn't she wait for me to at least enter first? I thought to myself.

"I'm six months pregnant. I'm not getting an abortion. I will find a job after I give birth ok? Could you just give me space to think it through what am I to do now?!" I yelled at her on the top of my voice before walking straight into my house. I wasn't sure if I should call it my house as I was rarely home. It doesn't feel like home to me. Sure it has all that one need in it but somehow I still felt something was still missing.

Suddenly I felt something pulling my right hand. As I turned my body, I felt a hot sensation on my face. Wow! That hurts like way a lot. I could feel tears accumulating at the brink of my eyes.

Mom looked horrified at her hands.

"I have raised you to honor yourself and trusted you to make right choices for yourself. But you keeping falling off track and each time you ran away,my heart broke. Tell me Sarah, where have I gone wrong? I gave you everything you wanted. At least I know I tried." She started sobbing with tears falling down on her wrinkled face. Somehow those tears doesn't seemed to moved me. It seemed to anger me even more.

"For starters, you aren't around most of the time. If you think by working hard and providing money and a roof over my head was considered everything you could give me, well you are wrong. You don't even realize that I haven't been home for ages until I appeared just now. If you really truly cared about me, you could have at least call. It's that simple,mom. I don't even know if you deserved to be called mom!" I yelled at her.

"Out! Now! You don't deserve all of these!" She yelled pointing her fingers all over the house. "I slogged day and night to provide nothing but the best for you and this is what you repaid me."

"With pleasure" I smirked as I turned my back on her and walked out. I wasn't going to lower my ego. I knew that for sure.
