Something About Love “AND I DON’T EVEN HAVE TO TAKE A MATH CREDIT,”I finish.I’ve—surprisingly—Told Mom most of what Gramma-Linda is making meDo for homeschool.Between her,Me, andRose,We’ve eaten almost two whole pizzas.Mom even bought soda andCookie dough,Which I’ve just put in the oven.With Rose sitting between us,I don’t feel such tension from my mother.She catches my eye andSmiles.I return it before I can stop myself.I can see it makes her immensely happy, andI suddenly feel like crying.I stand abruptly andLeave the kitchen.I’m halfway up the stairs whenRose darts in front of me beforeI can wipe my eyes.“Why are you crying?”Her face is so open,Her tone so concerned.I grab her in a hug, andHold on tight.“I don’t know,” I whisper into her golden hair.But I do.I just don’t know how to say it in words, butI know I’m crying becauseI’ve been such a beast to my mom.I’ve been so removed,So angry,So cruel,That a simple smile from meMakes her entire evening.I release Rose andSprint up the rest of the stairs and into our room.I close and lock the door beforeLeaning against it,The tears flowing in wavesDown my face.
