BRITTANY’S POV

“Brittany, Brittany”

“Brittany!” The voice yelled more louder this time around and I flinch almost falling off my seat and turned to face Andy and Brenda’s curious eyes on me.

“What’s It?” I asked.

“What the heck is wrong with you? You have zoned out ever since we got here(the school’s eatery) and I noticed you have been pale and seems to be in thought ever since you came to school” Brenda said.

“Good job on observing me miss Brenda” I said sarcastically.

“It’s not funny” Brenda utters dryly. “What’s wrong with you? You don’t look fine”

“I’m fine. Just…thinking!” I breathed out and my eyes met with Andy’s who has been looking at me quietly.

“You are not fine, talk to us. Or are you feeling uncomfortable because Andy is here? I can tell him to leave” Brenda said and Andy gave her a look.

“I’m fine. For real” I forced a smile but truth is, I’m not. I have been thinking about last night and this morning. Hayden is all over my head and it’s driving me nuts.

“If you say so, wait…Brit, is that……..an hickey?” Brenda gasped and I saw her focus on my neck.

Dang it! I should have wore a turtle neck but I totally forgot about it.

Right now, Andy and Brenda are in front of me staring at me as if I owe them an explanation.

“It.’s not an hickey” I laughed it off. “It’s probably just a …” I stopped when I couldn’t think of a thing.

“Wait. The reason why you have been pale since morning is because you have issues with your boyfriend or?”

“Brenda! I don’t have a boyfriend and …” I stopped talking and stood up.
“Excuse me” I said and left the eatery immediately.

They didn’t follow me and that, I’m glad for. I walked around the school trying to get my mind of everything.

The one person I would have loved to isn’t here. I decided to call her. I went to a quiet place and sat down and brought out my phone.
I dialed her number and placed the phone on my ear.

“Hello” I saId when she picked.

“Hi Brit! “ Tiana high pitched voice said. “I’m so sorry i didn’t call you. I have missed you so much”

“Me too.”

“How is Hilton? New friends?”

“Yeah kinda” I answered.

“I’m glad you are settling in just fine…so how is,…..can you just lower the volume of the Tv, Bighead”

“Who is there With you?” I asked curiously.

“Oh it’s Ezra. He is watching some boring show and Wong lower the volume. Tch!”

“You are with Ezra?” I asked.

“Yeah. I went to his apartment. There is no class today and I don’t really relate much with my roommates”

“Oh” I uttered with a pang of jealousy.

“It isn’t what you are thinking, Brit!”

“I know, I know. I will just call you later. You seem busy”

“No, I am n—“

I didn’t allow her finish as I cut the call on her. Maybe calling her was a bad idea.

30 minutes elapsed with me playing with my phone and staring at space.

It was time for the last lecture and I walked slowly to class.

The lecturer was already in class when I got there and I just quietly went to my seat and sat down.

Andy and Brenda gave me a questioning look and I just ignored them.

The class took forever to end and I was dozing off already.

“We will call it a day” the lecturer said and at the moment, those are the words I have been dying to hear.

He left and I packed my stuffs and made to leave the classroom but Andy’s voice stopped me.

“Are you sure you are okay? I’m worried about you” He said and I could see his sincerity.

“I am. Thanks” I smiled and he nodded.

My phone started ringing.

“We would see tomorrow, I suppose”

“Yeah” I saId and he left.

I brought out my phone and was shocked to see my mom’s name as the caller ID.

She haven’t really called since I got married. Why is she calling now.

I cut the call and left the classroom. Jacob was waiting already and I got in the car.

The car moved and my phone rang again. It was still my mom. I rolled my eyes and picked the call.

“Hi” she said and I noticed a crack in her voice.

“Hallelujah! You finally remember you have a daughter” I said sarcastically.

“Are you free? Can you come over” She asked.

“Why?”

“I just want to see you, please” she said and I noticed her voice was shaking.

“Mom, are you okay?” I asked worriedly.

“Yes. Yes” she said but I doubt it.

I dropped the call and faced Jacob.

“Take a u turn Jacob” I saId and he nodded.

***********

I looked at the house I once lived in and sighed. I didn’t know how I feel to be back here but everything surely looks weird.

I entered the living room and looked around and suddenly feels like crying. I sniffled and went up to my mom’s room.

The door was half opened and I could see my mom seated looking at herself in a mirror.

I opened the door widely and entered. She noticed my presence and quickly dropped the mirror.

“Honey, you came” she said with a smile.

I nodded and walked closer to her. She stood up and proceeded to hug me but I stopped her.

“What’s it?”

“Baby”

“Don’t baby me please! Are you even a mother!, yeah you got me married without asking for my permission. Fine! And that was it. You don’t care about me all along. All you care about is the money Hayden offered you. You were in an hurry to dispose me”

“Brit…”

“Isn’t it true?” I sniffled. “Did you call at all? It’s been over a month or even more. And today, you called and expect me to just accept you into my arms” I said.

“Brit, I love you and I’m sorry I haven’t been the best mother to you”

“Yeah right “ I scoffed.

She proceeded to holding my hands and I didn’t stop her.

“I’m sorry, Brittany”

“Your sorry can’t change anything you know that right?”
I looked up at her and that was when I noticed the dark spots on her face.

“What happened to you?”

“It’s…nothing”

“What do you mean it’s nothing” My eyes moved to her body and I noticed her arms too.

It was plastered.

“Mom, what happened?” I asked.

Her lips shook as she looked away.

“Mom, answer me!!!” I half yelled.

“It’s your father” she Burst into tears.

“What!”
