Joshua hated having to go to school. All day, he sat in class fidgeting, worrying about what was happening at home. It didn't help that he wasn't exactly the academic sort and school itself was incredibly boring for him. He had more important things to do at home. Knowing better than to just toss his book bag down on the floor, Joshua kept it slung over his shoulder as he carefully approached his mother.
"Do you want some coffee? I can fix you some," he offered, trying to make it sound innocent. But he only offered her coffee when he wanted her to sober up, when he could tell that she was trashed. Sometimes, he thought that if he made her enough of the strong black liquid, she would magically start acting nicer to all of them. He loved her very much, as all boys loved their mothers, and he wanted to help.
