SAM POV
"Sam? Samatha!. A shout from my mum cut my dream short.
I slept off when I was talking about my past don't worry we will continue another day if I have the time.
"Sam?". My mum called me.
"Yes mum". I replied her.
"Where have you been?. She asked.
"I have been right here in my room". I lied through my teeth.
"Nah don't lie to me young lady because I was up here not quite long and you were not in".
"I....I". I got stuck I didn't want her to know of me sneaking out of the house. My mom health deteriorate. I was so sad when I saw her withering away month after. And she started drinking alcohol and taking hard drugs to numb her pains.
The drugs she takes gave her a more haggard look, it drain her youth within a short period of time. The was a year when we were paired at school for a project. I brought my classmate Shaina home, and went to the kitchen to get her some refreshments.
"Umm where's your mum?. She asked.
"She is asleep". I replied her.
"Who sleeps at this time of the day or is she sick?
"No she is not sick just stay where you are and I will be right back so that we can round off our project okay? I tried diverting the present topic.
"Okay I will be right here". She replied.
I went to the kitchen and tried reheating the pizza that I bought. While pouring milk into the cups I suddenly heard a scream coming from my mums room.
"Huh mom?. I quickly ran out of the kitchen and went to her room. On getting there I saw Shaina there and she was putting on a I know your secret face on her.
I knew immediately that she caught my mother taking her hard drugs.
"See Shaina it's not what you think". I tried talking to her.
"Your mom is a drug addict?. She asked smiling as if she just hit a jackpot.
Shit I forgot I was dealing with our school radio without battery. Any secret in our school cease to become a secret whenever Shaina gets a wind of it
