"So how does it feel being back?" My mom started conversation while loading the dishwasher.
"Weird,but in a good way. I just need time adjusting"
"The girls know u're back"
"Wait-what? How?"
"Well,out of excitement I might've mentioned it to emily when she stopped by last weekend. She wanted to know why u haven't spoken to any of them in the last 6 months."
I remained silent,not knowing if I was upset about my mom's big mouth,or because of the guilt of shutting them out.
"Please don't be mad. I couldn't help it she looked so lost when she came by. "
"I'm not mad,honestly I just can't deal with that right now. I don't think its best for us to just jump back into my old life that fast."
"I get that,sweetie,but they're ur friends,,,practically ur sisters."
"Mom please don't push this,I understand that u love me and think this is for the best but I just need to take it slow and focus on how my life has changed"
With a pitiful look she just continued cleaning up while I went back upstairs and was done for the night.
*next morning*
I woke up totally exhausted,went down stairs to get some OJ.
"Morning Hanna,how'd u sleep?"
"Not so good,its hard being back to a different surroundings but we'll be okay"
"I hope so,well I'm off to work,I really don't feel okay with leaving u here alone for ur first day back"
"Mom I told u its okay"
"Okay hun,see u later."
