Waiting

I haven't seen Lila Lola for 5 years now. Lila Lola is my mother, but I don't call her mom. She hasn't earned it. She went to a party and never came back, leaving me home alone. I'm a "neglected child". I remember it so well. I woke up and she isn't there. The usual. But she left last night, and isn't back when I get home from school. Two days later, my teacher catches on.
