Forever
And
Three
Months
PART THREE
I skimmed the clothes bags across my kitchen floor and waved
goodbye to my father. The light street lightly lit up his slick
black car. I shut the door, and slouched my back on the door with a
groan.
“Yes, Tim…Yes! I’ve already gone over
this…” My mother was in the kitchen at the island with
checkbooks and calculators sprawled out, with her cell-phone glued
to her ear. I walked over, holding my stomach. She waved her hand
and then pointed to a napkin on the edge of the sink.
My kitchen was enormous. It had a tall, silver fridge to the left
of the island counter. The counter was about 16 feet wide with 4
bar stools on one side, and twelve cabinets on the other. In total,
there were thirty-two cabinets in my kitchen and sixteen draws.
There was an automatic coffee marker, lined with different flavored
cups of coffee next to it and all designer mugs from all around the
world. My toaster, stove, and microwave were all silver and shinned
in the sunlight. In the middle of the counter sat a whole fruit
bouquet that my mother’s boyfriend had given her.
I picked up the napkin that had a short note that read,
“There is chicken alfrado in the freezer…heat it up
for 5 minutes”
“Great, frozen meals.” I muttered under my
breath. I tossed the napkin and sauntered up into my room. I
chucked my purse onto my couch, along with my sweater. I walked
into my bathroom that consisted of a huge bathtub and a shower.
There was a mirror that covered one complete side of my bathroom. I
slammed my hands down on either side of the counter and hung my
head down to my chin. I slowly picked my head up and gazed into the
mirror with a deep breath.
Mom…Mommy…Momma…Madera.
The words raced throughout my head like a horse galloping in a
race. A sharp, brutal pain erupted in my stomach. Within a second,
I grabbed my stomach and dropped to the floor. I leaned up against
my sink cabinets and sat there in the summer night. With the
crickets quietly chirping and one slit of moonlight shinning
through my window.
