[10spot] 193 - ten things I'd never tell my mother

[magic_fratboy]

[locked from my mother]

1. I let the cats sleep in May's crib.

2. I let Prometheus sleep on the foot of my bed...when he don't sleep in or by May's crib.

3. I let May watch some TV. I watch it with her, though, and I talk to her.

4. I'm planning a body suspension for my next demonstration.

5. Production problems with the show. No big problems, we're filling in our missing cast and just got a kickass new choreographer, but she'll stress.

6. I went all schizo on everyone's asses for the last couple weeks. I don't think I talked to her, not that I can remember...

7. My buddy, Bee, is honeymooning in Greece. She'll try to call and badger her about what to see.

8. I got stabbed by one of my best friends a few months back.

9. I know about the miscarriage she had when I was eight.

10. The death of her child was my fault.

My mother had a miscarriage when I was like four, after they adopted me, and apparently I drew like these horrible pictures in daycare of my dead brother.

I think my Daddy's old person sperm just didn't live up.

My parents don't know I know. They both got really sad and I overheard some stuff, so I went to the library and did some research about how a mom could "lose" a baby. Then when I, uh...woke up from this walking coma, I could see some things more clearly. I think Epimetheus showed me some stuff.

My mother miscarried 'cause she was poisoned. By the Darkness. They thought that baby was me. Houdini.

Wow, way to fail big time Darkness. Way to fail. Missed the kid by about eight years.

Miscarriages happen, she could've done it without the Darkness.

But it did happen because of me. Wasn't the first one they killed, looking for me, either.

So? Like people haven't died because of me?

Like my Dad.

Shit happens, Tommy, and you were a child, you had no control over it.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

Your dad didn't die because of you, Sass. I can tell you that right now. Neither one of us had control over this shit, I know, and yet...I kinda did. This reincarnation thing, I did it to myself. I was so hung up on Pandora...

I guess we both got our issues to get over, huh?

Tommy, my Dad didn't... nevermind.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

No, what?

You're the special mindreader now, Tommy, can't you just pluck it out of my brainspace? It's not like Daddy died from a heart attack.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

...oh my God.

[no-substitution.livejournal.com]

Yeah, so get over it. You were eight, you couldn't stop it.
