"So she's just gonna sell it before we could even ask for it?"

I nodded my head confirming Jennifer's question yet again after I'd just finished explaining the whole house situation to her basically my mother wanted to sell our childhood home a home my brother and I grew up in without her cause as I've been saying numerous of times she's never there and that was okay but surely she should have known the house would mean something to dave and I and have some sort of sentimental value to us

"What if I were to offer to buy it out from her now though?"

"Why so that once again I could go on feeling useless it isn't fair to either you or me you know that I don't have the type of money to put in yet so that we could buy it out together I don't want to have to rely on money from you all the time just because I can or you let me"

"What?! Heaven what do you mean rely what's mine is yours and what's your is mine when it's necessary you know this already and if your this worried about not having the money at the moment to pay I could always just give you a loan"

I wanted to groan out loud due to the fact that Jen still didn't get it I wondered if she even knew that throwing money at a problem couldn't always be her solution to everything you might think I sound like a brat right now due to Jens fair reasonable offer but the truth is if you were in my shoes it'd be hard for you not to feel the same as I do Jen does this all the time and at times I feel like I'm the one using her for her money even if I know I'm not Jennifer does these things just cause she can and does not expect any complaints from the other person cause naturally, you should be grateful to her cause any other person would right of course, in the beginning, I was grateful cause why not but as I got older and time went on Jennifer at  times made me feel like me this grown-ass woman would always be in need of her bestfriends financial support she sometimes also made me feel like I was in debt to her

I never complained though and that was probably part of the problem but it isn't that I never tried its just Jennifer never wanted to listen she always thought it was her just doing a generous thing from time and time again like if I was out with her I couldn't even pay for my own damn coffee

The best thing to do was always let Jennifer have her way when it came down to solving money issues but as I said before I couldn't help the feeling of inadequacy whenever she would flaunt her money off around me as if it was nothing because it wasn't

"Fine whatever Jen," I told her as I walked away I wasn't even about to tell her that my mother already had an interested buyer nor was I gonna let her know that I had about 2 days to pack all of my shit and be gone out the house before she gets back all that I was going to say was that my mother could be a real bitch whenever the hell she wanted to be

"Where are you going?" Jennifer asked from behind
"I've got shit to pack" I let her know not stopping to bother turning around

I was going to make sure all of my things were out of here by today
