Sociopathic Specialty

Sudden Realization

Later that night I'm back at home, sitting on my couch, watching TV and drinking Sprite.

My mom walks into the living room holding a flower pot, "Jessie died," she says holding up her single peony flower that she's named Jessie, "Where should I bury her?"

I sit down my Sprite,

"In the ground, were flowers go," I say not looking up from the TV,

"This isn't any ordinary flower, Ali....This is Jessie," she says with a taken aback tone.

I wave my hand as if to say 'whatever', and she rolls her eyes, then He says:
"Come on Alistair, have a heart,"He says with a sadistic tone,"it's your mother,"

"Also your teacher called me," she stares at me until I look at her,"he said he called you to talk to him, but you just walked away,"

"Okay?"

"Okay?" She asks angrily, "all you have to say is 'okay'?" she mimics my voice,

I stand up and face her, looking her straight in the eyes, "Who cares?"

"I do!" She yells, "Go to your room, you're grounded, you always do stuff like this and I'm so tired of it, go to your room!"

"Fine!"

I go up to my room, angrily stomping like a child, then I plop down onto my bed,

"You didn't have to be so disrespectful to her, Ali," He tells me

"What do you care?" I say angrily, "You hate everyone, anyways!"

"Everyone, but Mom!" He says agitatedly

"She's not your mother!"

I push my pillows up against my ears and hold them tightly,

"That won't work, idiot!"

"Leave me alone!"

"I'm in your head, Ali," He screams, "I can't leave you alone!"

"Leave me alone!" I yell once again, but not loud enough for anyone to hear.

"Listen up, Ali!" He whispers,"What's yours is mine and what's mine is yours, do you understand?"

"But she's still not your mother," I respond not answering his question,

"But she is...... Because she's your mother and I'm inside of your head,"

*KNOCK KNOCK*

My mother walks in with her hand on her heart in an endearing way,
"I'm sorry for yelling at you, sweetie, it's just I'm really stressed lately over work,"

"Tell her you forgive her," He demands

"Why?" I think to myself,

"I forgive you," He says through me,

I sit still for a second, knowing what he's done and make an angry face,

"Please don't be mad at me," she sits next to me on my bed,

"I'm not," he forces me to say,

"That was..... surprisingly easy, usually you continue to be mad throughout the day or.....well..... night,"

"Don't worry mom, it's fine, just think about work....I won't be much of a burden anymore," He makes me say

Her eyes widen in surprise and happiness, then she smiles brightly at me ,

"Thank you, Ali, you are a great son!" She kisses me on the cheek and hugs me tightly, reluctant to hug back, He makes me.

After my mom leaves, He tells me:
"Your lucky to have a mother," he pauses for a second,"you should hold onto her,"

And that when I realized.....he was jealous.

Vote for me!!!!!!??👍
