1 Shocker #Bomb

Mildred POV

Why does everyone keep asking the same question over and over again like does my life have to be and open book for everyone. Not like am a celebrity wish I we're.

Ohhh sorry for the lack of an introduction. My name is Mildred and am twenty this year yes I don't have a boyfriend which every one keeps on asking me about.

"Mildred" my mom keeps yelling as though am not in the house but in the market which makes me sometimes confused because our neighbor leave some good blocks away which prevents them from calling the police because of her yelling.

"Mom am in the house could you at least not yell so loudly and no I was not sleeping."

"Okay but I want to tell you something " oh this better be good whenever she days she has something to tell me its never good.

I just nod my head and signal for her to continue.

"Do you remember your friend Brandon who used to live next to us before we moved here? " I look at her and see she that smile she normally has when she is asking for something I won't agree to.

Brandon is my childhood friend who used to live next to us(neighbors). We moved when my mom got a promotion and she had no one who could take care of me since I was 10.

He is the same age as me and weirdly we we're born on the same day and in the same hospital. He has been someone I could talk to but over the last years out communication went down the drain so I was so shocked to hear my mom talking about him.

I gave her a pointed look asking her to say what she wants but I think my brain needed mental preparing for the bomb she was about to throw at me.

"I was going to tell you about this sometime before but did not get the chance because you we're busy with exams at university. "

I knew this was not going to be something good but I shut my mouth and let her continue.

"I have decided to move us back to Canada and you can reunite with all your childhood friends. I know this is hard but we left so many relatives when we moved to Boston and I think its time we mended our relationships with them.

To say I am shocked is an understatement because I totally have nothing to say to her but just look at her.

Going back to Canada was not an issue but their are some things I just was not ready to face like the fact that my dad married someone only four years older than me meaning she is my step mom and I have to call her that. I just felt lost because when I came to Boston I thought my life was where it is meant to happen but right now just tells me how wrong I have been all this time.

Mom looks at me and I know she knows what I am thinking about but I just give her a blank expression and go to my room before I say or do anything I will regret.

"Mom when are leaving? " I ask since I want to say goodbye to some of my friends and also prepare myself mentally and emotionally for what's about to happen.

"We leave next week on Tuesday honey. " I calculate the days and notice its less than a week but their is nothing I can do because she has a determined look and not one that can be changed due to simple words or tantrums.

I enter my room and call my bestfriend Katie and inform her of the current news but to my surprise she is already well informed and even tells me the time. When I ask her how she found out she says my mom told her mom who then informed her.
