You Ruined My Life

Stella Cruze knocked on the door to her mother's room raging with anger and irritation as her knuckles made a loud thud against the wood.

This was the reason why she said Magdalene was a psychopath. Just after encouraging her to date Douglas Griffin, she slept with him!

"Mom!"She called." I'll open it up in a jiffy!"Magdalene answered comfortably from the room.

A few moments later, the door creaked open, revealing Magdalene standing there in a robe. Magdalene wore a thin, black, semi-transparent robe that revealed glimpses of her nakedness and Stella stood there with a stern expression on her face.

"Oh hi.How did the meeting go?"Magdalene asked and walked pass her. "Ha ha ha ha!" Stella let out a sarcastic laugh and Magdalene stopped."What now?!" Magdalene turned to her.

"Oh!So you don't know why I matched to your room with raging anger ?!"She said sarcastically.

"What are you talking about?"Magdalene queried. "What have you become?!" Stella snapped at her. "Why do you keep replying to my queries with your insignificant questions?!"Magdalene I replied.

"Insignificant?"Stella murmured blood throbbing in her veins."You call these questions insignificant? What is wrong with you? Why are you being so cool and acting like nothing matters?!" Stella lost it and bellowed at Magdalene.

Magdalene let out a scornful chuckle." That's because nothing matters, Stella."She said softly.

"How do you even feel after doing this to yourself mom?"Stella asked.Magdalene gave her an eye roll and begun walking away.

Stella followed her downstairs.

They stopped at the kitchen when Magdalene poured a cup of water in a glass and sipped it like nothing mattered, just like she said.

Stella Cruze scoffed.

"Wow." She muttered.

"What's so interesting?" Magdalene asked.

"Mom? You just hooked up with Douglas Griffin, the guy you spurred me to date?!" Stella spat the fact and one of her concerns out.

"You don't like him, do you? I'm just doing you a favor." Magdalene said. "I hope you're also aware that he doesn't like you and he's hooking up with you because of me."Stella said.

"Well....yes"Magdalene nodded. "What's it with you this time.You have all the money you want and he and about 90% of the guys who hook up with have all the money they want...."Stella said , her harsh voice turned quiet "....Why?"

Magdalene looked at her blankly.She then rolled her eyes."Shut up."She said. "Why the heck do you always have to play the role of the kid while I clean your fucking mess?!" Stella queried.

Magdalene ignored her question by sipping the water."You left a whole empire for me."Stella continued"You let me do all the work and you just have fun with guys my age!"

Magdalene in a sudden burst of frustration threw the glass on the floor and let out a frustrated howl.

Stella was surprised.

"You made me like this Stella."She bellowed."You ruined my life!"Magdalene said.

Stella suddenly felt a mixture of pain and a subtle hint of anger in her as she stared at her mother who was blaming her for saving her life.Stella wasn't ready to talk about this because the last time they talked about it was the last time she cried and she wasn't ready to cry again.... not any more.

"I did?"She inquired quietly. "You're not aware?!" Magdalene replied angrily. "Stella, you always blame me for ruining our family but you were the one who ruined it!" Magdalene said.

Stella averted her eyes.She felt a strong mix of sadness and apoplexy. She fought back tears as the memories of the pain that monster place her mother through filled her mind. Inside, her heart ached with pain, and she struggled not to let her emotions spill over into tears, not wanting to break down in front of her mother.

"What? I helped you! That monster was hurting you!" Stella said,still struggling to fight the tears back.

"He's not a monster Stella,He loved me and I loved him!"Magdalene replied. "Love? Is love what you call that? Love?!"Stella's eyes became watery."That's no love?! There's nothing like love. Love is pain! Is the pain he put you through what you call love, I don't think so!" Stella yelled and when she begun walking away she heard her mom yell her name.

"You ruined my fucking life Stella! I wish you died in my fucking womb!"

Stella increased her pace as she ascended the staircase.Her heart arched by her words.Magdalene also broke down crying.
