It is almost three in the morning and my mom sill has not arrived! Ever since the divorce was finalized my mother has done nothing but sleep all day then go to bars and get drunk at night. And did I forget to mention all the boys she brings home? I hate it.
Before this my mom had beliefs and I did too. We used to go to church three times a week and sometimes more but now, we never go. A month after the divorce my mom just stopped living. I had to take care of myself. Lucky for me I have Eli.
He has been so supportive of me and helped me when my mom is not around. He is also not very happy of my mothers new behaviour.
Usually she is late and does not come home till midnight but three in the morning? This is not normal, something is wrong. That's when I started hyperventilating, what if my mom got in a car accident, what if my mom picked up a guy who beat her up, what if she does not come home and is on a plane and leaving me forever and…
Eli saw that I was breathing heavily and so he gave me a hug and whispered in my ear "It's okay, your mom just didn't realize the time… she will be walking threw that door any minute." He said pointing at the door.
As if on cue my mom walked in drunk and hollering some stupid words that do not make sense. Then I spotted the guy she brought home. He looked homeless! Usually she has good tasty in guys and they are dress up nice and smell like cologne but this one reeked of garbage and his jacket looked like it had been dropped in mud then ripped apart.
Plus, I didn't like the look he was giving me and I think Eli noticed because he said something under his breath that I could not make out but I think he said something like pathetic.
"Clare, I'm going to bed. Come." My mother said while taking the homeless guy upstairs then she closed the door. I turned around to Eli and he gave me a hug. I didn't realise that I was crying till Eli pulled back and wiped a tear away with his thumb.
"Wanna take up my offer at hotel Eli? I don't think you want to listen to your mom and that creepy guy all night, and I don't like the way that guy looks at you, it creeps me out." Eli said. I was about to say I was okay but then I heard my mom and I was inches away from puking.
"Never mind my stuff, I can sleep in jogging pants and my t-shirt. Lets just go before I throw up. And thank you for the offer." I said. He smiled at me and helped me put my coat and he pretended I was Cinderella and put my shoes on for me. Then with his arm around my waist, he escorted me to Morty. At lease I won't need to listen to my mom all night.
