"So you finally decided to come home, did you?" My mother said sitting at the dining table, hands folded under her chin. "I didn't think you were going to be home this morning." She looked up and gave me that mother's glare.
"Did you get my message?" I whispered only loud enough for her to hear me faintly.
"Yes, yes I did, and it was only 3 hours after I started panicking. I'd say that's a new record." She smiled sarcastically.
"I would have called you sooner but Delia was in labor and-"
"That's enough! I don't want an explanation! What I want is for you to stop going out with those people! I want you to quit that job! I want you to concentrate on your job at the library and your studies. Those people are changing you, soon you'll be like your sister." She stood, "I don't want you to go down that route just because it seems fun and then regret it later. Look at you, you're changing already. Where's my Macy, my wonderful daughter, the one I could count on to be home on time, to get good grades, to be responsible. Where's that Macy?"
It was silent for a long moment. That Macy... Mommy's perfect little girl... good question. Where is that Macy? Her Macy? I thought long and hard... That Macy...is dead and she just had to live with it. "She's dead."
"What? What did you say?"
I looked up this time more confident. I peered her into the eyes. "I said She's Dead."
"Excuse me?" She looked at me with the shocked face.
"She's dead, she's gone. She's passed, she's six feet under, she's disappeared, she doesn't exist, SHE'S DEAD!"
"Don't take to me like that!"
"She's dead mom! MOVE ON! I'll never be that Macy again! I never want to be that Macy again! I don't want to pretend to be something I'm not! I hate it! I don't want to be perfect, I don't want to pretend like dad never existed!" Woops... I might have went to far. She cut me off there.
"Macy, you know-"
"No Mom! You know it's true! Every time I try to mention Dad you stop me, you threw away everything! Stop it! I don't want to pretend he never existed! I don't want to run away! Why can't we remember him?! Why can't we remember all the happy times we've been through! Just because he's gone doesn't mean we have to think he never existed! He can still be alive in our hearts! Why can't we do that?"
"That has nothing to do with this!" She was in tears. Mother was standing there in tears because of what I said.
"It has everything to do with this! Because of dad, you changed! You wanted everything to be in your control, so I did my perfect girl act so you could be in control of everything. Well I'm done! I finally found friends who could help be move on from dad's death, and now you think your losing control. I don't want to be perfect! Life has flaws mom, that's how it is!"
We stood there for a long while, in silence. I didn't know if she was looking at me, but I couldn't look up from my spot on the ground. It could have been minutes or hours or days before...
"Macy, go to your room." I gasped at my mom's voice, it was still firm as ever, but I could hear it, I could here the painful shake in her throat.
"But-"
"Go to your room!" She shouted. I gasped again. I think the last time she's yelled at me that was... a really long time ago. I couldn't remember how to react to it. I stood there shocked, my mother's hard stare still on me. Then right on cue, come my savior. DING! DONG! DING! DONG! That bell snapped me back to reality, I turned around to the door. But my mom stopped me in a flash, grabbing my wrist and throwing me back.
When she opened the door, and standing there was the one the only, my Wes. "Good Morning Ms. Queen."
My mom stared at him with displeasure. Wes you've always had the best timing, "Wes, was it?" Wes smiled and nodded politely. "What can I do for you this early?" She said it with an EXTRA emphasis on early.
"Well actually, Macy left her phone in my car again and I just came to return it. You know, just in case there was any important reason she'd need it." Wes pulled my phone out of his pocket. Did I really leave my phone in his car again? I could have sworn I took it this time. Wes being Wes, sensed the uneasy atmosphere. "I'm sorry if this is a bad time to step in." He said handing my mom the phone.
"No, actually Wes you came at a perfect time." Mom turned back and stared at me in disbelief. But I looked right past her and right through the door. "I was just leaving."
Mom gasped wide eyed and I could hear her heart skip a beat.
Wes raised an eyebrow, "Were you?"
I took a deep breath and stood tall, "Yes, yes I was." And I walked. I took my phone from her hand without looking at her. I grabbed Wes' hand and walked out the door, proud and I'd have to say with no regrets.
Mom called after me, but I never paused in my steps. I walked on as a new person, into a new beginning, to a new Macy, a flawed Macy, a Macy that was really and truly me.
TBC...
