LAURA

The door had barely clicked shut behind Josh when my mother turned to me, her eyes glassy and unfocused. The

smell of vodka clung to her like a second skin. | stood frozen, still reeling from the whirlwind of emotions that had

followed Josh's visit. My cheek throbbed where the ice pack had once rested, and the dull ache in my nose

pulsed in twith my heartbeat.

"You didn't have to embarrasslike that," | said quietly, my voice barely above a whisper. But | wasn't quiet

enough.

My mother let out a sharp laugh, the kind that always set my nerves on edge. "Oh, please, Laura. Don't be so

tic. | was just having a little fun."

"Fun?" | repeated, incredulous. "You were hitting on Josh! A boy from my school. He's my age, Mom!"

She shrugged, pouring herself a glass of something amber from the cabinet, her movements too careless to be

sober. "So what? He's cute. And he seemed interested."

| stared at her, my mouth opening and closing as | tried to find the right words. "You're unbelievable," | finally

managed. "Do you even hear yourself? He was uncomfortable! He didn't know how to handle you because

you're-you're an adult! You're supposed to be the one setting an example!"

She took a sip of her drink, her expression indifferent. "Don't

one getting drunk in restaurants and bringing hmen who-" | cut myself off, shaking my head. "You're a

mess, Mom. And you don't even care."

Her gaze hardened, and she slammed the glass down on the counter. "Watch your tone, young lady. You think

you're so much better than me? Sitting here in the house your father left you, acting like you're skind of

martyr?"

Tears burned in my eyes, but | refused to let them fall. "This house is the only thing keeping you here. If Dad

hadn't put it in my name, you'd have sold it by now and leftin the dust. You don't care about me, Mom. You

never have."

Her palm connected with my cheek before | even saw it coming. The sharp crack echoed through the room, and |

stumbled back, the pain radiating from my already sore nose down to my jaw. The world seemed to stop for a

moment, and all | could hear was the ringing in my ears.

| raised a hand to my cheek, my fingers trembling as | touched the tender skin. Tears blurred my vision, but |

refused to let them fall. Not in front of her.

"You're not my mother," | whispered, my voice shaking with the effort it took to keep from breaking. "Not really."

Her expression didn't change. If anything, she looked bored, like | was just another inconvenience in her already

| wanted to say but couldn't. Finally, | turned and headed for the stairs, my legs trembling with each step.

leaned against it, my hand still pressed to my throbbing cheek, and let out a shaky breath. This was the worst

day ever.

Sliding down to the floor, | pressed the ice pack against my cheek, the cold a welcdistraction from the pain

and humiliation swirling inside me. My thoughts drifted to Josh, his piercing blue eyes and how he'd looked at me

earlier like he wanted to fix everything. And then the way he'd pulled away, guilt and anger etched into his face.
