Shifted Fate by Alicia S.Rivers

Chapter 451

My father had hung up as soon as I was done explaining without saying anything. I looked at my mother who looked as confused as I felt. She pulled the phone back to her and furrowed her brow, and started typing. "What are you doing?" I pulled out my hairdryer and started in on my hair. I watched her out of the corner of my eye as I finished getting ready.

My mom kept typing on her phone and barely glanced up at me. "That was fucking rude." She started typing again.

"What was?" I bent over to dry the underneath of my hair and all I heard was her clicking at her screen.

"He just hung up." She tossed out and I snorted.

"You will get used to it." I flipped back over and shut the dryer off. I grabbed some oil to scrunch out the cast on my hair. My mom looked at me and I laughed. "He does it all the time. He has the attention span of a goldfish. If he has a thought, he needs to deal with it right away or he forgets it."

My mom stopped typing. "But he wasn't like this before."

I finished my hair and turned to look at her. "Probably because he had you to talk to and to remind him. He doesn't have that anymore." I did some light makeup as my mom processed my words.

"Fucking hell." She leaned against the mirror and I saw a look cross her face. "Stop it." I snapped at her.
