My Mother's Boyfriends : 6. Copycat

She did it. She finally did what I was most concerned about: attempted suicide. 

And why?

Because her now ex's wife did the same thing exactly 5 days before she did it. Only, the former had actual reason.

I have an extremely strong intuition. I can sense fate and fury much before they hit me. 10th of July, 2015: the day which wiped out each and every link I had with my mental and chronological age.  

You see, before attempting to violate IPC, mom declared it to the whole world in her own style: "Gone with the wind". She had texted Pops something which made him drive back home and check upon her. When he was satisfied that she won't be dying, he had come to pick up his dearest daughter from school.

As much as I was proud of him, I felt really irritable when my batchmates crushed over him: he way s damn Hot and Suave.

Anyway, he didn't tell me about this fiasco. I found it out for myself when I checked my phone. He explained that the situation has been dealt with, but my intuition was screaming. So I took help of the only subject I care about: Mathematics. Pops had left home around 12:30pm, and my sloppy goodbye text was sent by mom at 12:50pm.

I called up her bff, and she confirmed my fears.

Mom wasn't picking up calls. Her phone was on.

I remember turning Dad's office upside down because I knew what she had done, and I needed to save her.

I never had a mother. Now you'll know why.
