Gone Boy

{MAYA}

"Mother, what the hell?" Maya walked into the kitchen, dressed up and ready to head to the academy. She shook her head at her mother disapprovingly, Amelia, however, didn't spare her even a glance. Maya screamed again, "mom, what in the hell?" 

"Ow! Stop screaming into my ears," Amelia replied while covering her ears. She was in the middle of the kitchen, cooking breakfast for everyone. It was the least she could do anyways.

Amelia removed her hands from her ears, and then picked the bowl with the pancake flour and stirred. She would give anything not to look at her daughter's eyes and see the disappointment in her eyes. 

She was disappointed in herself too. 

She left them hanging and drove off to drink. What kind of person does that?
