Furious Mother

“Evelyn Marie!” Mom? Eve thought as she was snapped out of her blissful memory by a harsh voice. She got up and rushed down stairs.

“Mom? Your home early!” Eve exclaimed, but stopped short when she saw her mother standing there shooting dagers with her eyes at her.

“Who was that.. that.. boy that just left my house? And what the hell were you two doing in your room? With your damn door closed?!” Eve’s mother was furious.

“He’s.. he’s just a friend Mom. And we weren’t doing anything.” Eve answered slightly taken aback.

“Then why did you have to close your door, Evelyn?” Eve winced as her mother called her by her real name yet again. “Shit, Eve. I thought I taught you better then that!”

Taught me better?” Eve couldn’t help herself. She exploded. “You haven’t taught me anything Mom. How could you? You haven’t been around since Dad left! The only time I see you is when your drunk. Nice lesson.”

Eve’s mother stood there dumbfounded. Eve couldn’t take it, she stormed out of her house.
