Acceptance

Chapter 20

Nick...

Its been two days since I was cut from the team and also since I talked to Riyah I hate to admit it but I was ignoring her calls and I just really didnt want to be bothered and the fact that I could hear my parents fighting didnt make it any better. At the moment I was sitting in my window with a black thermal and some grey nike fleece joggers my hair was pulled up and twisted in a bun. I stared out the window as I listened to my parents argue and I could care less what they were arguing about I was honestly in my own little world until my phone went off signaling I had a text message I looked down seeing it was from Riya before opening it to read it.

HoneyLove : Good afternoon Butter Cup I'm just checking up on you I hope your ok. I wish you would talk to me I know you dont feel like talking but I will not allow you to keep pushing me away we cant have a relationship without communication I truly love you and I just want to make sure your ok call me when your ready and Happy Valentines Day.

I sighed I didnt know what to do I knew that if I didnt contact her soon I could possibly lose her and seeing as I kind of forgot today was Valentines day I knew I had to think of something to make it up to her. No matter how mad I was I had to remember not only is Ri my girl but she is also my best friend I never want to jeopardize that. I got up about to go downstairs when I heard my dad yelling "Are you stupid Karen you ruined her life...you know what I'm done I want a divorce" I was confused as to what he was talking about until I got into the kitchen and my mother was crying while my dad just looked at her sideways "Pops whats going on...whats wrong mama" I asked my dad looked at me and shook his head "Tell her Karen" I looked at my mom confused "Mama" she looked up at me while crying "I'm sorry baby" "Sorry for what mama" she sniffled "Its my fault I'm so sorry" I looked at my dad. "What is she talking about" he pointed to the counter "I walked in the kitchen and seen her with your water bottle and she was putting some powder shit in it" I walked over to the to see what he was talking about and there it was a medium size white container with red and black wrapper and flames and in big bold letters it read Met Max.

I picked it up looking at my mama "Mama please dont tell me you did what i think you did" She just cried saying sorry and that moment I knew my own mother drugged me and without thinking I threw the bottle at the wall by moms head balling and unballing my fist "I cant belive you....Ahh" I let out a scream as tears escaped my eyes before I could stop myself the words left my mouth "You conniving bitch I cant believe you" "Nick she is still your mother and you will watch your mouth" my dad said I looked at him and pointed at her "That woman right there is no mother of mine....Karen do you know something could have happened to me" I asked as my voiced cracked she just shook her head and continued cry about how sorry she was. I shook my head "Sorry that all you got for me is sorry man fuck yo sorry" and with that I stormed to my room grabbing my keys wallet and slipping on the nearest shoes I could find I walked downstair and left out the back door I couldnt stand to see my mothers face at this point. I hopped in my truck and started it up put on my seatbelt and pulled off, I just couldnt believe my mother I knew I was out of line for what I said and I would apologize eventually but today wont be that day.

I pulled up in front of Costco almost a hour later got out locked my car doors and walked inside I began to walk around until I spotted a worker "Excuse me sir" he turned to and smiled "Can I help you with something" I nodded "Yes can you tell me where the life size teddy bears are" he smiled "Yea go straight and turn right here at this aisle and they will be in the middle of the aisle" I nodded and thanked him before walking away. I went the way he said and just like he told me they were sitting in a big cage in the middle of the aisle I walked up and looked at all the bears but only one caught my eye it was brown with white paws but pink prints a pink bow around the neck and a pink heart that said I love you. I picked up the bear and took it to check out after paying I left and made my way to the flower shop I got three dozen roses and then went to a CVS and picked up the biggest box of russell stover chocolates I could find.
