On Account Of… I 38B

Peggy walked into her mother’s room less than five minutes after she had returned from work. Steph of course. “Yes mom?” She said just in time to see her mom put her phone down beside her on the couch and bent down to unzip her boots. Her hair curtaining her face and hiding the serious look she had on.

“Pack your bags, you’re going to go stay with your dad.” She commanded and informed.

“What?” Peggy was startled and shocked by the revelation. “Why?” So sudden and the tone.

“You know very well why.”

Her heart skipped a beat. “No I don’t. I have to study remember? And leaving now? It’s literally Monday. What about school work?”

She sat up straight and kicked the boots away from her saying, “I’ve made arrangements for that. You’ll come back next week.”

“But mom-“

“What do you want me to do?” Annoyed. Too annoyed for her to even express it so everything came out cold.

“I told you. I’m fine.”
