Ashely P. O. V.
” I am Bitch!”
I am Lover!”
I am Child!”
I am Mother!’
I am Sinner, and I am Saint”
I kept hearing my alarm going off on my phone. Finally, I open my tired eyes. I see I was in my bed. Thank God I thought I was with him. He got pissed off and told me to get out of his truck, what I remembered. Also, I walked inside my house, and I saw my dad drinking some brown liquid.
But I knew what it was before seeing it because I could smell it. Brown and whiskey. He mixed it this time. So, yeah.
My dad started heavy drinking since we all found out mom had cancer. It’s been a scary journey and rough knowing my mom has this awful disease. It’s a waiting game if she would do the surgery.
We told her for a couple of weeks now to get the surgery done? But every time, she shook her head with a no!
So, my dad and I would not give up asking her to do the surgery/operation.
So, my dad stopped asking and started drinking. He would spend time with us after work all day and when my mom and I were in bed. He is down in his study/ living room drinking hard liquor.
I knew the whole time and my mom. We just said nothing until last night.
When my mom told him to stop drinking, my dad was shocked, and he was crying and begging my mom not to leave him, and he loved her.
I smiled, and I watched them together, wishing and wanting what they had. I like that kind of love. But instead, I have a hate and more hate relationship with Jayson. He doesn’t even know I am his mate? I don’t understand why he can’t feel and see I am his mate.
That is a question I need to ask someone soon. How is it possible for me can feel and see that we are mates? But not him.
Does he know, and he doesn’t want to believe it, or he really doesn’t know we mates.
Anyway, I need to think about this later. But, unfortunately, I don’t have time. I don’t need to be late for school.
I have perfect attendance.
I don’t want to lose that.
I am the good girl, after all. So I thought with a big grin on my face.
Ashely! You up, honey,” I heard my sweet loving mom say. I smiled; thank God, she is still alive and with my dad and me.
I let out a relieved sigh. She will be okay today; mom is not so sick and weak.
“Yes, mom, I am just getting out of bed and going to take a shower,” I told her with a smile in my voice.
“Okay, sweetie, once you’re done and dressed. Breakfast is on the table.” I heard my mom say and told her to thank you, and I won’t be long, and I will be down for breakfast.
After getting out of the shower, I wrapped my towel around my body. Then, I walked over to the sink. I opened the cabinet and got my toothbrush and the toothpaste. I started to place it on the brush and started brushing my teeth…
Awww, once I was done brushing and washing out my mouth. I started cleaning up the mess and walked out of the bathroom.
I started walking towards my room so I could get ready.
A couple of minutes later…
I walked through the kitchen, and I saw my mom and dad in the kitchen. My dad was sitting at the end of the table eating eggs, pancakes, and bacon. I love pancakes and eggs, bacon.
I felt my stomach rumbling when I could smell it, and I started getting hungry.
“Mmm, that smells delicious, mom,” I told her, sniffing the air. Then, I walked over to kiss her on the cheek.
Good morning sweetie,” I heard my mom say and kissed my cheek. I walked away, grabbed the chair, and sat down at the kitchen table.
“Hey, kiddo, you ready for football to start,” I heard my dad say. We love football in our family. When the NFL starts and College ball, we get all crazy in this family. If I weren’t a girl, I would be in football. But I am a girl. I still love football. So, my parents and I go to the games and watch them on TV.
“Hey Dad, how are you feeling today? Are we on for the game tonight?” I asked him. I love spending time with my parents, and I will drop everything for them.
“Hell yeah, baby girl.” The Steelers are going to crush the Bengals, baby!” I heard my dad say with a grin on his face. We are a big Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
“Richard!” I heard my mom scold him for cursing.
I shook my head, and I had a big smile on my face watching my parents acting like teenagers in love. It’s a nice distraction from cancer and all, and about Jayson and me being mates and that we hate each other? So, yeah, it’s nice to think about something happy and positive than what’s awful around us.
“Hey now, come here, you,” I heard my dad say, and he grabbed my mom around the waist, and she fell on his lap with a yelp.
He had a big grin on his face.
He finally got the girl of his dreams right now. My parents are glowing, literally glowing. I love their little love time for each other. I wish I could have that once Jayson and I stop the fighting and hating.
Yeah, just maybe we can have the love like our parents have for each other. That was when I heard my mom scolding my dad again, but I knew she was faking it. She knew how he was. So, she pretends to be mad at him. So, that’s what she did. I thought with a giggle under my breath.
“Richard! Let me up,” I have to make you guys breakfast,” She cried out with a fake scold on her face.
“No, not until you kiss me,” He told her with a wiggle of his eyebrows.
“No, not right now; I still got to make more coffee and eggs,” she tells him, trying to get out of his hold.
Hmm, you sexy woman, you smell so damn good.” he said inside her neck. I knew what he was doing before I saw it. I blushed and looked away from my parents.
He started kissing all over her neck and biting it.
Okay, I think it’s time to leave. Before I threw up, I loved that my parents were happily married, but I was still their kid. I don’t want to see the love feast going on at the kitchen table while I am trying to eat my eggs and bacon and pancakes.
Hurry up, eat your breakfast and go to school- I meant hell.
So, I started taking my fork and shoveling it in my eggs first, and once that was gone. Then, I started eating my bacon one piece at a time. Once I ate the bacon, and it was gone. Then, I started eating my pancake and drank my milk and Orange Juice.
I got off the chair and took my empty plate and my cup and fork to the sink. I washed them and set the dishes on the other side of the sink.
” Bye, mom and dad,” I told them. I knew they were in their little world.
Love you!” I yelled out. That was when I heard, okay, baby girl, have a good day at school, and we love you, they yelled out. I was already out of the kitchen and walking to the front door when I heard my mom giggle and tell my dad something. I just cracked out laughing, and I had to hold my hand over my mouth so my mom and dad didn’t hear me. That is when I heard a mom say.
“Richard!” You’re an animal,” I heard her say with a fit of giggles.
I open the front door. I had a grin on my face thinking about how my mom was feeling better today. She is not sleeping all day or lying around. She is herself today.
I walked out, and I shut the door behind me. I didn’t know my grin would fall when I saw who was on my front porch…
“Why are you doing here?” I asked the person I didn’t want to think about who was standing in front of me?
“He did say he be here picking you up? Envy noted in my mind.
I only have one thought. That is, this is going to be a lovely morning for me? I thought with an eye roll.
