Needing a mother's love- short drabble


As a little girl, she grew up like any normal family would, and as normal as a family of supernatural beings could be. Now as a teenager, her mother was never home. Lizzie knew she could be a lot to handle. She was part of a coven that was ruthless at times, the Gemini Coven. The coven loved to set up twins to do a merge to see who would rule the coven. She hated how people ruled in that coven, even though she and her sister were the last remaining members of the coven while her uncle was in the prison world paying for his crimes. Her mother, who was never around much, it left a hole in Lizzie's heart. No one understood girl stuff like her mother, especially when she needed someone to talk to about boys or staying in control of her own mental state.

Lizzie had started to feel as if her mother thought she was too much too handle or that her mother just simply didn't love her or her sister anymore. Sure, Lizzie can be selfish, self-absorbed, attention seeking, etc, but she had a heart. Lizzie knew she didn't always treat everyone with respect, but as Penelope once said, "You're a black hole.." It broke her. Without Caroline around, she had no one to really confide in. She had become self aware lately that not everyone wanted to know nor did they really care about what she was going through, except her closest friends. Did everyone see her as a horrible person? Did everyone feel that she was someone who had no heart?

Lately, she hadn't wanted to bother anyone with how she was feeling. The two people she wanted to confide in was Kaleb, and the other was her mother, but her mother was in Europe. Why did her mom want to stay away for so long? Lizzie was needing her mother's love, yet it almost seemed as though her mother could care less. Lizzie was always afraid to call her mother, in fear her mother didn't want her anymore. Her father was left to raise her and Josie alone. What was she supposed to think when her mother left. There were so many things going on in her life, fighting monsters while also having to deal with her unstable mental state. There was no doubt that Lizzie had so many questions, mainly towards her mother, and Lizzie was starting to resent her mother for leaving.

Lizzie never really knew why her mother left, and she didn't want to pressure her father into telling her if he knew. She figured he would let her know when he was ready. But not knowing was what hurt the most. Lizzie wasn't happy. She wanted her family back, her mother back, but deep down, she knew that if she asked her mom to come back, her mother would've just said, "Not yet." When Lizzie was in this kind of mental state, it was far better for her to stay away from a group of people if she had a meltdown and everyone knew that she had plenty of those over the years.
