I was woken up by a knock on my front door. I looked at my alarm clock. It was 8:00 am and a Saturday. I groggily got up to open the door. Much to my surprise, I saw my mum standing there! I quickly closed the door and took a deep breath. Maybe this was all a dream and I would wake up from this nightmare. All I had to do was go upstairs to my bedroom, go back to bed and it would be all over. I heard the knock on the door again. I knew my mum was getting impatient. Okay, if I opened the door, the dream would be over soon. I opened it and my mother stepped in.

"Why are you ignoring me, Kayla? First, you hang up on me. Now, you don't even want to open the door to let me in", Mum said.

"I don't even want you here, Mum. You can leave now", I told her.

"We have to sit down and talk. I have come a long way and I can't go back now. I don't understand what you told me earlier. What do you mean by you broke up with Austin. Why? What happened? "Mum enquired.

"Mum, please. I don't want to answer your questions."

"Why? I don't understand why you are behaving this way."

"Mum! Just leave, okay! I don't want you here. I don't want you in my life. I wish you had never even given birth to me!" I shouted, becoming angry all of a sudden.

Mum didn't say anything after my outburst but left the room quickly.

Tears started streaming down my face. They were tears of hurt, pain and anger. What did my mum want from me? Everything was going on well until she came. Well, almost everything. Why didn't I have a mother who understood me? Why did I have a mother who always wanted me to do what she liked and not what I liked? Why?
