Chapter 32 - [ AO3 | FFN ]

“Are you sure you’re going to be alright?” “I'll be fine, Mom. Stiles and Scott and Allison are all coming to the party, I’ll keep an eye on Lydia, and I’ll even put post-it notes up so I remember to check in with you every now and then.” “That’s not a bad idea, but…it’s not exactly what I meant.” I looked intently down at the carpet. “Yeah, I know.” “It’s just…I think it’s really sweet that Lydia wants to throw this party for you, but that doesn’t mean you have to go along with it. It’s going to be a hard year. It’s been hard already, with all the craziness around here, but without your father…” “It’s not just my party, Mom. This is Lydia’s party. She’s had a hard year too, and if she wants a normal birthday, I’m gonna make sure she gets one.” “I know how much you love Lydia, honey. I just don’t want you to bury everything you’re feeling for her sake. Grieving is normal, healthy. I’m sure Lydia would understand if—" “Can we not do this?” Mom blinked down at me, and I instantly regretted my harsh tone, but the growing feeling of nausea was making it hard to control. “I just…I can’t right now. I don’t want to think about Dad. It’s…it is my best friend’s birthday, and she has been hospitalized twice, and lost a whole lot of her friends, and gotten dumped by her piece of shit boyfriend, and all this other crap that…I don’t even know. And I’ll be damned if I’m anything less than a ray of fucking sunshine today. I don’t want to talk about it right now. I…can’t.” My mother pursed her lips. She moved her hands back to her keyboard and nodded stiffly. “Okay. We’ll talk later.” “Mom, I’m sorry. It’s just—” “I know, Sadie. I understand. We can talk about it another time.”
