Going upstairs I walked into my moms room. She was on her bed crying. Shaking my head I went over and wrapped my arms around her.
"You don't have to let her stay, you know" I hummed.
"I won't kick my daughter out onto the street and you shouldn't want me too. She's your sister Leo" my mom said softly.
"Its not like she's been acting like any of those things lately" I argued.
"I don't care. I will not turn away from my child, no matter what. Plus, she's trying" she sighed.
"I just dont like seeing you upset" I confessed.
"I'm fine Leo. I can take care of myself. Besides I'm the parent and your the child. I'm supposed to worry about you, ok?" my mom laughed but, I could still sense the pain in her voice.

"You really need to go easy on whatever your smoking" I spoke gaining his attention.
"Nah. I don't think so" he muttered turning to look at me.
