Chapter 44

I Met Someone

Mother's home when I get there.

I can tell, firstly because the door is unlocked. Secondly, because she's singing loud from the other side of the house with music blasting from he t.v.

My stomach drops.

She hasn't done that since before dad and Alex passed away. I drop my bag on the couch and hesitantly make my way through the hallway down to her room at the end of the house

"Mother?"

There's a pause in her singing and then the music stops, bathing the house in an uncomfortable silence. I steel my stomach, preparing myself for a barge of hateful words to spew from her mouth.

The door to her room whips open and she smiles at me, wide.

Her lips have remnants of last's night red lipstick, and her mascara runs down her face. "Alina, did school get out early?"

I frown. She's muttering, her lips wrapping around an unlit cigarette and I find myself in

shock that she isn't actively smoking.

"I wasn't aware that you knew what time my school day ended."

She rolls her eyes. "Serioulsy, Alina. Are you always so dreadful?"

I flinch, watching her as she turns from me, in her blue robe, leaving the door open. She's going through her closet, throwing clothes across her dirty room as she whispers to

herself.

My lips twist between my teeth and I wonder if I want an answer to the question I'm

asking. "What are you doing?"

"I met someone."
