(31) Flashback Chapter - My Mother and I

I was sitting on the balcony of my room. My back felt frozen from the cold breeze of autumn, as I was only wearing a thin, sheer dress. The smoke from the little cigarette I had between my fingers got into my left eye and made me flinch a bit. This whole act that I've got going; it really didn't feel like myself at all. The things that I do just to forget about that hurtful incident, and on that one particular night. Hurting myself was the only way to forget about all of it. I was flicking the dust from my burnt cigarette, until she barged into my room and opened the door to the balcony.

"What the hell do you think you’re doing with that?! Are you stupid?!" The woman glared at me while screaming at the top of her lungs.

.

“Mom, you could at least knock…” I tried to calm her down.

.

“Rather than doing dumbass things, you should do your homework or help me with the housework! Go!” She continued to yell at me like I am a five-year-old kid.

.

“Mom, I’m not a kid anymore!!! Stop!!!”
