Mother Dearest. A short fiction dedicated to Mothers day.
The shouting attracted nosey bystanders all around. Catherine Willows brought fear to rapists, murderers and child molesters and she could not even control her own teenage daughter. An exasperated sigh escaped her lips as the younger blond continued her own selfish rant.
'And I had a whole surprise for you! You always say I don't care! Well here I am caring for once and you aren't interested!!'
By this point, her eyes were filling up with tears and guilt was eating away at Catherine.
'I don't even know why I bother anymore mom!'
If it was any other situation Catherine would have found the role reversal funny. Usually it was her who yelled at Lindsay for not caring, not Lindsay yelling at her.
Blood rushed to her cheeks as she suddenly remembered she was standing in the center of the lab corridor with all her colleges surrounding her. Her embarrassment was soon controlled as she pushed the fifteen year old girl into the nearest room- which luckily happened to be her own office. Lindsay collapsed into the nearest chair and tried desperately to control her sobs.
'Look Lindsay. This isn't my fault. Out of my control. I think its lovely you thought of me on mother's day but seriously, this can't be helped. I will be back in a couple hours and I need you to stay here. I'll make this up to you, okay?'
Accepting defeat, the girl nodded still trying to hide her tears of disappointment from her mother.
Glancing quickly at her watch, Catherine knew she was late for her scene. Taking one last look at her daughter, she left the room, gently closing the door behind her.
