Chapter 56

• I returned back upstairs to Aria and we talked- we actually discussed without resulting in arguments and sarcasm along the line. She told me about how she only had her mother who doesn’t recognize her anymore since her loss of memory has reached its final stage, her mother was currently in a nursing home and fighting her way past everyday since she was battling lungs cancer along with her memory loss.
• She doesn’t have any siblings as she had actually been the result of a broken condom from one of her mother’s reckless early adult’s lifestyle, her sperm provider had denied the pregnancy the moment he got informed about the pregnancy which led to her mother being a single mother. She grew up with her mother going through boyfriends like you were changing socks and her mother didn’t stop her reckless lifestyle still, she smoked cigarettes and drank alcohol a whole lot while bringing Aria up. I was thankful that nothing had happened to her at the hands of her mother’s long string of boyfriends since I knew just how mad some men could be.
• Surprisingly, her mother was really protective of her and had never left her with any of her boyfriends all through her childhood. She told me about when she wanted to enter college how there was barely enough money and how her mother had agreed to birth a baby for a gay couple in order to get money for her child’s college expenses, my respect for her mother went from a shaky four to a glowing ten at that point.
