XX CHAPTER2: This is how you remind me XX
After coaxing a drink out of some bombed biker, and winning some serious cash in a pool game, I finally made my way back to Kan's little shack she calls a house.
I still remember the first night they dropped me there kicking and screaming , those power hungry brutes with the badge that they use as a pass to do what ever the hell they want. You might just call them police men though. To me they'll always be the unfeeling animals that never found the man that killed my father. The first comment I made was how pathetic her house was, how the minute they left I would be right back on the streets again. She just looked at me and said,
"Sweet heart, your not gonna believe this. But it doesn't matter where you live, a home is a place where you can make memories. The streets are no place for a young lady like yourself." she smiled, her hazel eyes so tired , gray hair already starting in her auburn roots. Kan tried so hard to get me straight; and all I did was let her down. That's all I ever do is let people down.
I pushed open the door quietly as I could, and tiptoed in there. I felt a little woozy, the alcohol doing its job rather nicely taking the edge off the pain forming in my heart. I heard voices coming from, Kan and someone else.
"Sorry if she hassled you too much." a familiar voice said sadly. My heart took off full speed. Mom.
" No she wasn't so bad. A little rough around the edges, but she's trying. And in my book that's pretty damn good ,no one expected her to really give a shit about her life." Kandence sounded proud, like it was her doing that caused me to make the changes. I beg to differ.
"I just don't understand where I went wrong, this all started after her father passed. I thought she would handle it so much differently." I took that as my cue to step in and join the conversation.
"S'not your fault mama. These thing do happen, cant really blame anyone, other than me of course. You cant take responsibility for my choices, I'm not a child." I added bitterly
" Roxanne-" she started her gray eyes hitting my ocean blue ones.
" My name is not 'Roxanne' , you know my name is Roxi." I said through clenched teeth.
"well excuse me young lady but when you came out of me I decided what your name was. And quite frankly I will call you whatever I please, because I'm your mother." her tone was steely. " Grab your things were going home now."
" why should I go back with you? So you can send me back into therapy, so you can suffocate me and hide me from the whole world?" my voice rose as I got increasingly agitated.
"Rox, please , just go home." Kan pleaded, her eyes shining with fresh tears.
"fine!" I whirled and stalked into my quaint little room, it seems as though Kan took the liberty of already packing for me. I didn't say goodbye, I was angry with Kan for letting this go on. Making me feel wanted then throwing me out, just like mom did. She got tired of my shit and kicked me out. A day later she was on another week long trip for her boss Hugo, no thought about her daughter. I open the back door of the car throwing my stuff in and slammed it hard as I could after climbing in. Mom was still talking to Kan about god knows what , so I climbed over the seat and laid on the horn. Mom quickly hurried over after waving good bye and slide into the car with ease.
"that was unnecessary." she griped.
" what like everything else I do? Why do you keep being such a cynical asshole?" I bitched. She shook her head and sighted not wanting to fight with me.
We reached our big farmhouse in the middle of no where, the fog forming an impenetrable barrier around the house. Home sweet home. We climbed out and made our way to the door, my duffel bag banging against my side. She grappled with the lock and finally got the door to creak open. Our house keeper Dorthea left the house smelling of pine sol and cookies.
"are you hungry?" she asked after a while.
"yea, whatcha making?" I said indifferently.
" I dunno yet." she went and searched the kitchen I set down my bag and followed her.
"Have fun on your trip mother?" I added snidely.
"It was exhausting, but I made some extra cash and that's always good huh?" she insisted. " I see you grew your hair out, it looks nice." she examined my mahogany curls that now reached my waist. (A.N. changed her hair from black , I like this style better)
I took the money from my pocket and slammed in on the counter.
"here," I spat. " do something with this, I don't care just take it." I didn't know why I was doing this, giving her my hard earned cash. But then I remember all the times I took money from her, and guilt just seems to whip me into submission.
"Don't tell me you got this from playing pool?" she scoffed " I thought you were done at Bo's?"
"Had to make money somehow." I glanced at the clock ,7:30. " I gotta get ready , else ill be late for work." I turn and head upstairs.
"wait I though we could-" mom shakes her head and goes back to making dinner.

I spritzed myself with some perfume then studied myself in the mirror. Gray motorcycle boots with buckles, dark studded jeans and a ice pink lace blouse. Classy, but with my own personal edge to it. My eyes lined with brown pencil made my already vibrant baby blue appear wide and curious. I grabbed my bag from my bed with my extra keys and wallet. I rushed down the stairs two at a time.
"I'm leaving, and I'm taking the car ok?" I popped my head into the kitchen. She nodded her head and focused intently on her tea. " I'll be back around midnight. Kay? Love ya bye." I grabbed my keys to the car I had left here. My little Taurus waited for me in the garage, little bugger knew id be back. I open the garage door and started my car. I got in and adjusted the mirrors, no use getting into an accident my first night back out. I blasted the radio and I was on my way.
Kind of a boring chappy, but I hoped to reveal a little bout Roxi's past here. She really does love her mother, she would do anything for her. And keep her safe hehehe R/R
Roxi: and people say I've got issues. Sam your nuts!
Me: you just don't understand! Wahhhh!
