She Who Fought with Her Mom

Wait. Did I hear my mom correctly?

"What?" I sharply asked my mom. My eyes narrowed as I looked at her. Did I just hear that?

"Are you deaf, daughter?" She said in a defiant voice. "I said, you need to pay for his medical bills."

Yeap, I heard her correctly. I need to pay the medical bills of the effing ex. The ex who humiliated me in front of people and called me vile words.

"Again, why will I do that?" I asked her. "Why will do something like that?"

"Because it is the most responsible thing to do," was my mother's reply. She also sounded haughty and it grated my nerves.

Wow, my mom was talking about being responsible. Is he even my mom? Well, she would usually tell me to be responsible but dang "Really, Mom? You are talking about responsibility?"

She crossed her arms on her chest and answered, "Yes. Why? You did hurt that man. The least thing you can do is pay for his bills," she finished with a smirk on her face.
