Mandy awakes from her slumber one morning and walks boldly to the kitchen table. She sits down and snaps her fingers. "Mother, I demand you make breakfast for me. NOW!!" Unfortunately, this was the sort of psychological abuse that Claire had gone through for the last 9 years and she had enough of it. She had been up the night before waiting for Mandy so she can finally give her a piece of her mind.
"No". "What did you say to me?" replied Mandy sternly.
"You heard me, you little shit, I said no!" Claire said to Mandy in such a way she'd never been spoken to before.
"How dare you speak to me like that? I-." Claire cut off Mandy before she finished. "How dare YOU speak to me like that? I am your mother, alright, and I am your superior. But I have put up with you abusing and manipulating me for too long" yelled Claire.
"Well, what are you going to do about it?" said Mandy smarmly. "You know what? I've had it up to here with you, you evil little child, you heartless brat, you spawn of Almighty Satan!! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!! NOW!!" screamed Claire at the top of her lungs.
Mandy stay confident that she wasn't going to move as no one had ever told her what to do before. "I'm not moving until I get my breakfast" said Mandy. "And then after I have eaten my breakfast, I'll be leaving when it suits me. You will never be able to tell me what to do, no matter how loud you shout it, do you understand?".
That was the last straw for Claire. She grabbed Mandy by the collar of her dress and stared intensely at her face. "You listen to me, you evil little fucker, I want out of my house for good. You are never to return here again. I never want to see you again. I've had enough of you, you've put my life through hell for too long, I now disown you. I don't care what happens to when you leave, I really don't. You could be dead tomorrow and it wouldn't matter to me. So, leave now, OK, or else I'm going to call someone to force you out!".
Mandy was still as apathetic towards her mother as she was before "Oh, is that supposed to intimidate me? No matter what you do, you will never have any power over me, I control you!". At that point, Claire finally did something she'd been wanting to do for years. She hit Mandy. Hard. So hard, Mandy fell to the floor and started bleeding. However, even though this act of violence was enough to make Mandy cry, she kept her composure and nonchalantly walked out the door. Claire, on other hand, was torn between how bad she felt about hitting Mandy and how good it felt to finally have her out of her life. She sat down and thought about it for awhile.
Meanwhile, Mandy walked down the road. She thought about heading to Billy's house however she didn't want him or Grim to see her in her vulnerable state. So she kept walking, even though she was bleeding heavily and had a black eye. Not caring about the reaction's of people around her, Mandy just keep walking until finally she couldn't take it anymore and started crying about what her mother did with her head sunk inside her knees on a miscellaneous street corner. No one had done anything like that to her before and she was shocked about how much it hurt and it suddenly made her feel bad about how she treated her mother. Of course, although she was mainly crying about the pain and was still bleeding heavily, she also now realized she had nowhere to go. So, before she thought about going to Billy's house, she ended up passing out first, a lifeless wreck on the edge of the road.
