I was slightly frightened when she spoke up. I never thought I would meet her up here in my room. It was the least I expected.
My banging headache, my sorrow, and the bad effect the rain has on me today aren't helping matters.
I came into the room with my eyes closed. I just wanted everything to go back to normal; the way it used to be when I had no problem in the world and even if I did, I always went home to talk to mom about it and it would be resolved. Most of the problems I always had always had to do with my company. Mother is always ready to help.
Sometimes, when I need Dad's help, I indirectly sort out his help by going to my mom. She is my backbone. She gives me a shoulder to lean on. She is my mentor.
She is a good woman with a heart of gold.
Why is Valerie in my room? I ask inwardly when she waves a hand at me to jerk me out of my reverie.
The headache I am feeling is a result of the accumulated stress and also the thinking I have been doing all morning. I am supposed to go on a vacation with Valerie as a getaway from work because of how hard I have been working, but finding myself stuck with a woman as crazy as she is does not make the thought of a break exciting.
"Hey, Ryan. What is wrong with you?" She shouts, her eyes bulging out and her skin pale white.
