What did you expect?
Happy smiles and at least an attempt at being civil?
You didn't want or expect gifts or a cake or a party of any kind. You didn't expect to see your family that usually flakes anyway.
So none of that surprised you.
Did you expect your mom not to be a psychopath for just one day?Not to raise hell for one day?Did you really expect any of your plans to work out?
Did you think you would do anything more than sitting and staring at these four walls and doing NOTHING?!
Nothing!Like ALWAYS!!!
Too bad.
Did you expect anyone to care?
To call.
Or text you.
Or at least bring it up if you talk to them or SOMETHING to acknowledge the fact that you're still alive?They could answer you.Someone could.
Did you expect anyone to care that you didn't go through with it last night?
Even though you don't ask for much, or anything, did you think today would be any different?You shouldn't.
Silly you.
