It was about midnight and Alicia just come in but she wasn't alone. She'd brought Ethan back.
Jasmine was fast asleep due to her painkillers make her sleepy. But Jessica was awake to make sure her mum came home.
"Mum?" Jess called.
"Sorry sweetie, go to bed it's late". Alicia replied back with a slur as she was drunk.
It seemed lately that Alicia had just been drinking to solve all her problems. Which wasn't the right way to go.
Jess didn't get any sleep at all last night because she could hear noises in Alicia's room. Straight away, she knew her mum wasn't alone.
It was finally morning and jess went to see if her mum was awake. And to her surprise. Ethan was laying in bed. Just before Alicia could say something, jess just stormed off in a mood and got ready for school.
Jess made her and jasmines breakfast as Alicia just lay in bed with Ethan still, wallowing in her sorrows.
She felt so bad about what happened but she decided to leave it and talk to them after her shift.
Jess shouted up "going now, bye".
Alicia was so upset as usually jess and jasmine gave their mum a hug before they left for school. But not this time. It was different. So different that Alicia had tears in her eyes as she was so upset by their action.
