Waking up you could feel something different about yourself. You decides not to think too long on it and went downstairs to your kitchen.

Walking downstairs, you passed the living room, where your mother sat passed out on the couch. Ever since your father left her three years ago, she had sought comfort from **** and ****.What used to be a beautiful woman was only a shell of her former self. You thought how much you wished your mother would turn back into her old self as you walked the rest of the way to your small, dingy kitchen. Just as you were pouring yourself a bowl of cereal, your mother came busting into the kitchen.

"Honey! I was just about to make you some breakfast!" She exclaimed freezing you with shock. Not only were you shocked that she offered to make you breakfast for the first time in three years, but that she was actually awake this early in the morning.

"Um....no.... It's okay mum I'll just stick to this cereal," you stammer awkwardly. You haven't seen your mother this sober for ages. It was almost like she was her old self again. Just then, you wished she would clean up and dress how she used to, instead of always looking like a homeless crazy person.

"Okay then Hun," she said. "Anyway I'm going to get cleaned up! I feel terrible! I know that I wasn't the best mother these last three years, but I promise you that I'm gonna try now" she adds, leaning over to you giving you a kiss on the cheek.

Shocked from what she just said, you silently nodded, unable to properly respond.

"Okay. Well, you'd best be off to school. Love you!"

Saying goodbye to your mother you grab your things and leave the house. Everything that just happened in there was exactly what you wanted. You have a growing suspicion, so you decided to test out your theory.
