“Don’t be smoking this shit in my house.” Lorraine Maclay snapped, tossing a bag of marijuana at her daughter. “The probation officer sees that and you can say hello to a foster home.”
“Well, six more days and I’ll never have to see the inside of another one again.” Seventeen year old Tara opened the baggie to sniff the contents.
Lorraine lit a cigarette and plopped down on the couch, hugging her daughter. “My girl’s all grown up!” She offered Tara a drag.
“Yeah, thanks for the pot Ma, Dave would have killed me if I hadn’t of gotten some.” Tara stood and returned her mother’s cigarette, blowing out smoke. She stood and walked off towards her room.
“Where ya going?” Lorraine let out a puff of smoke.
“To bed, I have school tomorrow, Ma.”
“I thought you dropped out.”
Tara paused and looked over her shoulder, she shrugged and continued on her way.
Staring up at the cracked ceiling of the grimey RV, Tara realized why she didn’t drop out. She had grown up being passed from family to family when her mother was seen unfit. She had grown up knowing that this was the life she would live. She was, after all, her mother’s daughter. The day she told the judge she wanted to stay with her mother was the day all her cards were delt. She would live this life forever. Prostetuting herself to feed her family, not knowing where her husband was every night, dealing with police officers, and living in an abandoned RV.
She didn’t want this life, she wanted to be rich and famous, or at least have enough money to buy food and clothes. Her mother had dropped out of high school and look where it got her. Tara couldn’t help but wonder if she could escape this life her mother had built.
Scoffing at herself Tara turned on her stomach. “You’ll never be more than this Tara Maclay, never.” She mentally chided herself. Tara reached her hand under the moth-eaten mattress to retrieve a copy of the newest Playboy. She always felt odd for drooling over the centerfolds, but it was the only thing she could do to get away from her life, looking at attractive naked women covered in silk and diamonds, sipping fine wine. Tara’s eyes danced over the pictures and she roughly kneaded her breasts, letting out a sigh filled with the days frustrations as she began to relax.
