tell debbie, fuck dawn.
i woke up at 6:20 a.m. in so much pain that i wasn’t breathing.
i texted my mum because i could barely move, and i didn’t want her to hear me that way [not to mention i didn’t have the freaking air in the first place.]
i heard her phone go off, heard her open it.
i smiled in relief and waited patiently, finding a position that was least painful and doing my best to fight down the tears so she wouldn’t worry when she came in.
i don’t know why i trick myself into believing it matters.
she didn’t come in until 7:05 a.m.
as soon as she poked her head in, i asked her where she was. naturally, she didn’t hear me, because when i talk, no one ever really hears me anyway. plus, i was speaking super light, to conserve the air i had managed to work into my lungs. so instead of repeating myself, i told her about the text.
i saw her eyes.
we both knew.
she had opened it, and ignored it, because she didn’t want to get out of bed.
instead of being honest, she went in the opposite direction: she yelled at me. told me i knew i couldn’t text her in the morning, that i should have come and gotten her. i repeated that i couldn’t move.
not that it mattered, she was already walking away as i piped up to say it. i cursed under my breath. i couldn’t get up to continue a verbal defense.
for some minutes, she left and tended to my younger sister, who has found a way to be in her intense favor lately, in spite of a list of issues she has caused [trouble with cops, fights, SRS after us, et cetera.] then she walked in, dropped a pill into my hand, and walked out, bitching/griping about how much school i’ve missed.
when i tell you that i’ve been trying to get her to take me to get these problems fixed for years, and YEARS, that seems a little more hurtful, doesn’t it?
so i let the tears come, and texted my three best friends a brief summary message that described this [without the gorey details], and they did their best to comfort me. i would post the conversations, but seeing as how i am about out of ammo, this is where i’ll end it:
Dawn is my mother’s name. Debbie is my grandmother’s name. i am my meemee’s whole world. i am my mother’s elder child. the title, is a piece of one of the conversations i had. anyways, that’s about all the energy i had. i’m off to try and beat down this pain. <|3
