The edge of glory

Chapter 15

Hey guys I'm so sorry that this chapter is late. I've been going through a lot lately and it doesn't help that my mom basically cussed me out and disowned me. But alas Enjoy.

Esther's POV

I wake up to an empty bed and a growling stomach. Leon must be on his morning run. You don't get a body like that by being a lazy ass. I get up and drag myself to the kitchen and see the untouched plate of pizza on the counter, just staring at me and saying,
well are you going to eat me or not?

I decide against it and go grab two pills of advil and pop them in my mouth. Without water.

Real skill right there.

I mentally congratulate myself and go back to my room and lie down. Sleep soon over takes me but I quickly up when I remembered what today was.

23rd.

Damn.

I'm supposed to go and meet my mother and 'talk' to her.

I mentally groan and drag myself out of bed for the second time today. I decide to wear a pink ruffled dress that stopped mid-thigh with my zebra print Gucci bag and my black strappy pumps and a pink floppy hat. I was just in a pink mood today.

I do my make-up and let my hair flow.

I leave a note on the counter for Leon to know where I'm going. I grab my keys and head out the door.

Today was going to be a long day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The drive to my mother's was short. She lived moderately close. I knocked on the door twice and waited for it to open. As soon as it opened, I was enveloped into a hug.

Okaaaaay.

"My dear you've grown so tall, come on sweetie come in. I missed you so much."

"I'm fine mother, you look beautiful by the way." She was wearing a floral printed sundress with white sandals and her hair was pulled back into a tight bun. She didn't have any make-up on.

"Do you want something to eat or drink?"she asked me.

"No thanks". I smile trying to be polite. This is what she always does, acts sweet for a short period of time then release the bomb.

"I actually came to talk about Joshua, you know my current husband who my father caught getting a blow job from you. Ring a bell?"

Her body became rigid. She dropped the cup of water and stood up to come and face me.

3..2..1...

"Look you fool I don't know who you think you are but I will not tolerate you disrespecting me like that in my own house so you can crawl back to the little hole you're coming from and go fuck yourself because you're nothing but a disgrace, a complete and utter failure. I seriously regret the day I ever gave birth to you. The day that pregnant test came out positive I was so happy thinking that I would be a mother when in reality I would be giving birth to you this goat. I prayed from the day you were born that it shall never be well with you as long as you live. And it worked I've taken everything away from you. Your husband, your family and soon enough I will take away your son. Or better yet should I just tell your dear Leon about that son?"she shouted smirking at her victory because I was bawling my eyes out after her rant. Without thinking I slapped her and ran out the front door of the house, got into my car and drove home.

I came into the living room doing a double take when I saw Leon relaxing on the couch with his headphones in. As soon as he saw me, he rushed to my side and hugged me. I started crying again all over his shirt with only one thought in mind.

God help my son.
