Ali had passed out before she even knew if Jim had texted her back and didn't move until noon the next day, all the crying and fighting and drinking had worn her out so she didn't really plan on doing anything. That was until she heard the doorbell ring and she made her way downstairs to see who it was, her eyes rolled as soon as she saw that it was her mother. "What do you want?," was all the she said and she didn't invite her in.<br/><br/>"Well, I was hoping that my daughter would be happy to see me."<br/><br/>"and why do you think that I'd be happy to see you? The only thing you've ever done for me is make me hate myself."<br/><br/>"I made you hate yourself? You're the one who brought it upon yourself to do what you did so you wouldn't have to leave your precious Bree."<br/><br/>"You certainly did nothing to stop me, I was sixteen years old, you should've been a real mother and stopped worrying about your fading looks long enough to make sure that your daughter was doing what she was supposed to be doing. If you're looking for money for another round of botox, you can just keep walking because you're never getting anything from me again."<br/><br/>"Why, you little ungrateful bitch! Your father and I made sure that you got what you needed, when you needed it. How dare you talk to me like that."<br/><br/>"Yeah, birth control and condoms, gee, nice parenting skills there. Had to make sure your cash cow didn't wind up pregnant, that would've fucked up everything for you two and don't you ever call me a bitch again. While you're at it, why don't you just leave?<br/><br/>Her eyes turn towards Bree's house as Jim is walking inside. "Looks like Bree's the one getting the guys now, I bet all they do is fuck you like the whore you are and then leave to find a nice girl that's good enough to bring home to their parents. Is that how it always works out, Ali? A drunk whore is all you're ever going to be and you know it as well as I do, you'll be stuck in this town with people talking about you in hushed whispers when you walk by. That's all you deserve."  She grabs Ali and turns her around to make her face the door then pushes her face into the glass of the door so Ali can see herself.<br/><br/>Ali pushed her mom off and away from her. "Leave, fucking leave my house right now or I swear to God, Mom, I will make you leave. You will never come here or speak to me again and the same goes for Dad. I can't love someone who hates me for being prettier than her or someone that drinks all the money away to where he can't provide for anyone." She caught her mom's hand as it came up to slap her and watched the look on her mom's face before she stormed back to her car. Ali hoped that their fight hadn't been heard by anyone else, but her mom could get pretty loud and so could she, but she'd tried to keep her voice calm. All the things her mom had said sunk into her mind and it was like she had known what her daughter had been thinking. Sitting in the swing on her porch, Ali just rocked back and forth slowly in the swing trying not to think about what she was thinking right now.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
