Laughing out loud, I save the picture Caleb just sent me. It’s of him, making the most ridiculous face. Quickly sending him one back, I lean back on the couch, trying to find something to watch. Since Caleb is going over to Clark’s house, to try and formulate a plan for Caden to win Savannah back, I’m at home, patiently waiting for him to come back to me. I’m glad he and Caden made up, and I hope the brothers can help Caden get his girl back.

It does suck I can’t help, but I’ve accepted my fate.

Not finding anything good on Netflix, I decide to grab my sketch pad and work on the artwork I’m drawing for Caleb. Quickly going up to my room, I grab everything I need, and then I sit back down on the couch. I’m not sure how long Caleb will be gone, so I’ll have to keep myself busy for a while. It’s not long, before I get lost in my drawing, and my mind blanks, like it always does, as I draw. The TV plays softly, but I’m not even sure what I ended up picking to play. I’m so far gone, that nothing around me registers.

That is until I hear the front door closing.

Thinking it’s Caleb, coming to surprise me again, I quickly shut my sketch pad. I glance up with a smile on my face, until I realize it’s my mom. My smile quickly disappears, because I’m sure she won’t even acknowledge that I’m here. Like always, her face is glued to her phone, as she walks through the house. Watching her, as she goes into the kitchen, I wait to see if she has the common courtesy to at least let me know if she’s staying or leaving again. I can hear her, as she seems to be looking for something in the kitchen, and it’s not long, before she goes upstairs.

Clenching my jaw, I will my tears not to fall. My eyes are blurry, as she makes her way back down with a bag in her hand. She literally walks right by me and doesn’t even look my way. My God, I could be a complete stranger, and she’d never know the damn difference. She’s so focused on her phone and herself that she’s completely oblivious to everything around her.

I’m so fucking sick of her not noticing me. I’m her only daughter for Christ’s sake.

As she walks to the front door, I decide I’ve had enough of the silence. Getting up, I quickly reach her and ask, “How long are you goin’ to pretend I don’t fuckin’ exist?”

She startles and turns around. “Jesus, Bethany. I thought you were out.”

Rolling my eyes, I cross my arms. “Of course, you would have no idea where I am. You’re never here, and when you are, you’re glued to your phone. What if I was some random person just squattin’? How would you know?”

Shaking her head, she glances at her phone, as she says, “Don’t be so dramatic.
