Nova's Cry

"You're emotionally inept..." Nova mumbled

Marie turned around and slowly walked in Nova's direction. "Nova what the hell did you just say to me?" Nova began to shudder. She tried to stop the tears from flowing but it was too late. Her heart beat faster with each step Marie took. Nova was afraid but she refused to hold her tongue for any longer. If she didn't say anything now, things would never change.

"You're," Nova started, "...I said you're emotionally inept! You are mentally incapable a listening to other people's feelings and how they are affected by things. It's always about how you feel and you never stop to think 'is this gonna hurt if I say this?'. When you get angry, you say the most harsh shit, and you don't care about how it affects me. Why? Why do you never ask if I'm ok?" Nova panted. She caught her breath. Marie looked at her with burning rage. The idea of being told about her incapability to emotionally support her child infuriated her. "How dare she?" Marie thought.
