<<Love and Drugs >> Ashtray // Kylee

Chapter 1

I'm in the car, my mother came to pick me up to take me home. Why I don't say home is very simple. I don't live with her. When I was younger, my parents separated and I decided to go with him to "take care" of him. Being the oldest in the family, I had to protect my surs from him. An addicted man, with anger issues. The kind of man you can't stand for long. But my mother loved him and stayed with him. Until one night too many, one argument too many that led to the divorce. So I left, leaving my surs in safety. Since my departure, I had never seen them or my mother again. It had been almost 8 years

I looked out the window, without speaking or addressing a word to my mother. I felt that she wanted to talk but the guilt was eating her up. She didn't dare to speak for fear of saying the wrong thing. It was a long and quiet drive.

We arrived and I got out of the car. My eyes fell on the big house in front of me. Two people walked up to me, without me really paying attention, and hugged me.

-Lexie and Cassie: Kylee!!!

They hug me.

-Lexie: We missed you so much!

- Me: I missed you so much too

-Mom: Okay girls, go inside and show your sur the room.

-Cassie: Come on Kie, we redid your room it's so pretty!

They pull my arms and take me to my room which is really beautiful.

They leave me alone to unpack my things and to settle me. I start to empty my bags then fall on Molly. I put it on the night table and crush it into powder to hang it. But just as I wanted to sniff it, someone knocked on the door. I throw everything on the table and pretend nothing happened.

-Mom: Honey?

-Me: Yes mom?

She comes in.

-Mom: Kylee I want to talk to you about your dad. Are you okay?

I am smiling.

-Me: Yes, everything is fine it's nothing.

-Mom: You know you can tell me...

-Me: Yes I know but I am very tired and tomorrow I am meeting a friend in town.

-Mom: Oh... Well rest well my darling.

-Me: Thanks, see you tomorrow.

My mother comes out of the room but I have nothing left on me. Obviously tomorrow I'm not going to see a friend but a friend. My only friend...

I go to bed but I can't sleep. I look at the time:

-Me: 3 hours 30 serious!

So I decide to get up. I get dressed quickly:

I sneak out then I take my bike and go to the friend's house.
