《Teacher's Pet》5: The Kitchen
Advertisement
"Mom," I said walking into the kitchen.
"Hey, Honey," she smiled over at me.
"What's for dinner?"
"I was thinking about take-out."
"Sounds great!"
"How was school?"
"Same old." I pulled out the permission slip from my pocket. I didn't tend to ask to go out to a lot of places. Mostly just school and Chloe's house. I wasn't the party type and I didn't know if I wanted to go on the camping trip, but it's my senior year and I should try and get the most out of it. "Um... I have this permission slip. It's for a camping trip this weekend. It's free and it starts on Friday and we get back on Sunday. I know it's short notice, but I thought I should live out my senior year since I didn't before and...," my mom cut me off.
"Sure! Where do I sign?"
"Wait, really?"
"Yes. I've been waiting for four years for you to ask me to go out and hang out with friends."
The truth was, whenever my friends asked me if I wanted to go to a party or something I just told them my mom said no without even asking her. That kind of stuff just made me uncomfortable. I didn't like being in a room full of intoxicated, drug-ridden teens. I felt out of control and I didn't like that.
I handed my mom a pen and she quickly read the paper and signed over it. "Well, I hope you have fun."
"Thanks," I said, tucking the paper into my back pocket. "Are you going to be okay by yourself?"
"Lydia, I'm a grown woman. I'll be fine. Stop looking for excuses to stay."
"Okay, fine."

"When I was your age I would've killed for an opportunity like this. Don't you want to make some new friends, kiss a boy or two?"
"Bold of you to assume I like boys."
"Oh, um..."
"Mom I'm kidding," I laughed.
She let out a breath. "Anyway, kiss a few boys, but that's it. No further."
"When did you lose your virginity?"
"Excuse me," she looked at me shocked.
"Never mind. Sorry, I asked," I stood up to leave.
"No no no," she said sitting down. "Sit back down. I never got to have "the talk" with you because you just always knew everything. Why are you curious?"
"I was just wondering," I sat back down in my chair.
"Well I lost it in high school, but I regret it. The guy was a douchebag."
"So then why can't I lose mine now."
"No parent wants their child to lose their virginity. It doesn't mean you have to listen to me."
"Got it."
"If you do decide to engage in sexual activity, use protection. I will slip a pack of condoms and birth control pills in your bathroom."
"I don't think that I'll need them, but thank you," I laughed.
"You never know. Take some just in case, for my peace of mind at least."
"Fine, mom. Nice chat."
"Of course. I would rather be open-minded than have you feeling like you can't talk to me. You know you can tell me anything right?"
One thing I loved about my mom is that she listened to me. She always lets me explain myself. And when it came down to me getting "in trouble" for something, she always heard both sides of the story, but always stuck up for me. Not to brag but, I was a great kid and we both knew it. My mom never had to worry about me getting into trouble, lying, or keeping secrets because my life was boring.
But I knew that what she just said was a dangerous statement. "Yeah, I know," I nodded my head.
"Okay then let's get dinner."

Terminal
My heart was shattered that day. It was on that day that I realized that life had an end, and that mine was coming. It was on that day that I realized that I was going to die. Leukemia, they told me. It's almost over. I didn't know what to do after that. I thought that maybe it would be best to die right then, get it over with. I thought that I could push myself away from all my friends, all my family, stop them from missing me after I was gone. I thought that I could handle it on my own, that perhaps the world was better off without me. I was wrong. So please help me, I'm dying. Save me, I'm falling. They tell me I won't survive. Please catch me, because if you don't, I'll shatter. I can't grab on anymore, I can't keep fighting. It's going to swallow me up. My name is Alyssa Gray, and by the time you finish reading this, I'll be dead. ________________________________ A few warnings and things to note: -I've put up the tramatising content tag due to a lot of mentions on death, dying, illness, and a mother who tends to be rather cruel. I know that I take a perspective that many will strongly disagree with, and I'm okay with that. Just be warned that this isn't lighthearted stuff. This is real, and death is real, and this part streaches beyond the fiction into reality. -I'm going to say a minor spoiler, but I don't want it to take you unaware because it is something to be aware of. At one point, my MC attempts suicide and fails. It's a very violent scene and I will put up the gore tag after writing this, and it's also just really depressing. If this will be triggering, you need to be aware of this before you read it. -This is a christian book. It may go against some of your beliefs. I hope that you can read and comment anyway even if some of it does not sit well with you. Credits for the cover go to the user 'Media in Sanity'. Your help and assitance has meant so much to me, God bless you in your writing and your endevours. A proud member of WriTE. I've promised to finish this fiction and update it at least once a month. My schedule is very irregular, and I'm working on that, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that this book stays out there. I'm not ending it until it's done.
