"Mum, why do you have to take all the trash that dad does?", I asked as I massaged her back. I didn't know just why she had gotten beaten today again. I was so tired of that man she called her husband, because to me he didn't pass for a parent material, so I'll rather not consider him as my father.
Just then she smiled, I knew that smile, it always came up when it was time to support that coward. "you ever heard of love".
"yeah, I've heard of it, that so Called thing that makes you all crazy", I replied not so happy. It was so annoying, why did she always have to defend him always. "No, it doesn't make anyone crazy, it just brings two people to understand each other, so that's why I understand your father", she was always so gentle when she talked about that man and it irritated me so much.
I wasn't sure if it was love that made her keep up with his trash or it was the love that made her say such stupid things. I stood up and hugged her. I pitied her so much, she was always so vulnerable and it broke me. I dont want to be like this, I want to be different, I want to be strong and independent.
"Mama, if this is love, then I never want to be in love", I said as I walked away.
