Erin sighed. What was her sister thinking staying there with that man. Erin headed back out the door with the ball in her hand. The park wasn’t too far so she decided to walk. The air was rather chilly but it felt good. She had to get her mind off of things. Hopefully this would help.

She started to shoot. First at the foul line then moved over as if she was playing around the world. She made almost every shot. Her mind still wandered she couldn’t keep a clean mind for long. The thought of her mother. Where the hell is she at now? Back in jail? Erin nearly dropped the ball when she heard a voice. Turning she saw the one person she didn’t want to see again her mother. She blinked her eyes hoping she was hallunicating.

“Erin baby. It’s been so long.”

“Yeah just leave me alone will ya.”

“Why honey I am your mother?”

“Yeah I mother that abused me and drank herself pratcially to death.”

“I am not like that any more. You got to believe me.”

“Yeah believe you is like drinking rat poison without a cigarette. Janet seriously your nothing to me. Not my mom. Not nothing. I don’t want you in my life. As far as I am concerned I think that you should be locked up for all that you have done to me.”

“Erin you don’t mean those things. I know you don’t.”

“Oh but news flash woman I do! Your nothing to me I hate you!”

Erin turned and left her mother there standing in the park as everyone stared at them. Erin wasn’t sure what the hell she was suppose to do but she managed to travel into the road not paying attention to cars or nothing she just wanted to get home. A car stopped inches from her body. She turned her head and saw the driver of the car was Ms. Browne. Staring blankly everything started to spin. Erin fell onto to pavement.
