HARLEY
•••
Here my mother goes again, draining a man dry for all he’s worth just to toss him aside for the next lucky fool.
And after two years spent across seas studying abroad, I can’t say I even know the man my mother is screwing over.
But after overhearing him wring her a new one my first night back in town, part of me wants to stay behind this time while mother skips out. You know, maybe get to know the very man who’s been blindly funding my tuition since my eighteenth birthday.
I’m sick of the constant change mother keeps throwing us through, even though I feel like I should be capable of holding my own without her support.
And now, that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
I’m willing—longing—to start a new journey right where I’m at.
But after the fight I just caught wind of, I’m hoping if I get the chance to stick around, I won’t become just another burden…for Daddy.
