"Sonny eat your tea," Connie looked at her daughter, with a stern look on her face as she usually did these days. Sonny just laughed at her dismissively, watching as she just shook her head at the shadow of her daughter.
Sonny looks down at the food, pushing her plate away as she gets up out of her seat and heads for her bedroom.
"April is coming over in a minute, I ain't hungry anyway." She mutters, not looking her mum in the eyes as she speaks,
"Sit down and eat your tea now!" Connie turned around, anger flaring in her eyes,
"Whatever Connie." Sonny grinned at the look at the hurt and surprise on her face when she says her name,
"Connie?"
"Yes that is your name, isn't it?" She raises one eyebrow, and smirks, folding her arms over her chest. She nods slowly and then looks down at her tea,
"I am your mum, Sonny," She whispers,
"Whatever." Sonny heaves a deep sigh, running over to the door when it knocked, grinning at the person on the other side when she winked.
"Hey Connie!" Sonny hid her laugh as she carries on walking to her bedroom, April just runs ahead of her giggling all the way,
"Got anything on you?" Sonny whispers as she shuts the door behind her, she grins and nods as she pulls out a packet of white powder, just like the one Simon had given Sonny the other night, she nod at her, remembering the feeling it gave her before, the total freedom and the painless world it allowed her to become part of.
Sonny grins as she hands her some, watching her as she separates all the lines before she 'snorts' it up. Soon enough, she copies her, and they are both laying on the floor giggling like little children. Sonny looks up at the ceiling, watching the shapes and colours dance around, each one making her giggle out loud, distracting her from the banging door outside, the shouts coming from her angry and upset mum, blanking out everything to do with it all. She doesn't really notice her until she grabs her arm, yanking Sonny out from the world she had found herself in for a few minutes. She shakes her head at April, tutting, trying to ignore the woman she used to be so close to.
"What?"
"It stinks in here."
"Get out then."
"I want you gone!" Connie looked at April and the pointed towards the door, glaring at the girl as she walked out,
"Whatever you say Connie." She salutes her, making Sonny giggle,
"How dare you chuck my friend out?" She shouted, pulling her off her arm, and stepping back, only then noticing the packet she holds in her clenched fist. She clenches her own for a moment, and turns around quickly to hide the hot, burning tears running down her face.
"What do you want from me?"
"Are you on drugs Sonny? Are you high right now?" She grabs her shoulder -hard - pulling Sonny around, towards her so she can look her daughter in the face and know if there is anything left of the girl from Wisconsin. Sonny sighs as she admits defeat,
"Whatever, Connie." She hisses out her name, frowning as she does so,
"You have caught me. You can't do anything to me anyway. I don't care."
"You're grounded."
'Whatever you stupid cow. I have a window you know, what you going to do, seal it up? Bar me in here? Lock me away until I am good old Sonny again?" She looks at Sonny, like she doesn't even know who she was anymore. But Sonny rolls her eyes, she doesn't even know who she is anymore, so she can't exactly expect anyone else to know.
"Now get out of my bedroom!"
"Sonny, let's talk about this." Connie pleaded, tears running down her face,
"I don't want to talk, I don't need to talk, just get out and leave me alone." Sonny screams as loud as she can, pushing her as hard as she can out through her door, slamming it in her confused face. She kicks a beer can away from her and watches as it rolls under her bed. When did it all get so hard? When did it become like this?
She sighs loudly and takes one last look at herself in the mirror before jumping out of her window, grinning to herself. Nobody rules her, she doesn't care about them anymore. She can do what she wants, when she wants.
And as soon as her feet hit the ground, she does the one thing she has always down... she runs. She runs as fast as she can, not turning back to look at that house she calls home, not looking back to her mum, not turning back to the old Sonny.
And for what? To get a fix....
