"Jim your mother worries me", Ana whispered. "Ana"! Jim whisper-screamed." I do not understand my mother has been living with us scence Billy was born". "Well" ..Ana explained "Its Billy’s fifth birthday is tomorrow and I, well I am just concerned that is all". 'Ana", Jim wheezed "I do not understand the problem". "Her and Billy get along just fine". "That is just it"! Ana said a little louder then she needed to. "I don’t understand, Billy and Linda are very close, to close in fact there more like best friends and I happen to find it quite strange". "Ok" Jim huffed "now you are just over-reacting". "Jim you have seen it!" "she acts like his mother more then I do! I just do not like it and she is always telling me how to raise him! He is my child not hers", she screamed. "Ana", Jim pleaded. "I just think she should be here for his birthday just let her stay a little longer. please?" "Okay" she whispered.
"Billy comes down stairs so we can sing you happy birthday"! Linda yelled from the first floor of the three-story house. "Coming" he answered. "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you".. Linda, Jim, and Ana sang to young Billy as he sat down at the table. "Make a wish Billy"! Linda cheered. Billy thought about his wish for a minute. Then he said, "I wish grandmother Linda was always my best friend"! Billy giggle-screamed and hugged his grandmother Linda. "Well" Billy, Ana tried explaining, "your grandmother will not be around forever." Billy’s eyes were fixed on his grandmother. "Is that true grandmother"? Billy asked with glazed eyes. "Ovcourse not darling I will be around forever" she explained. Ana's eyes burned with rage. Linda handed Billy a box with blue rapping paper. "For me grandmother"? "Yes, Billy go ahead, open it". Billy unwrapped it slowly. His eyes lit up when he seen the red, plastic, toy telephone sitting in front of him. "Oh, thank you grandmother" he screamed as he hugged her. "Remember Billy I am always here" she whispered. "Well, she announced I think I will take a nap". Ana was so raged it led her to an afoul idea. "Hey, Linda let me help you upstairs she offered smiling." "Well yes, dear I suppose you could". Ana led Linda up the stairs all the way to the third floor. When they got to the top, Ana started asking questions. "Um Linda". Ana whispered, "oh dear call me mom", Linda said smiling. "Oh okay mom um, well I do not know how to say this but I think you should leave my home as well as my child". Ana explained with a heavy heart. "How dare you"! Linda screamed. "Billy needs me"! "No" Ana screamed I am his mother"! " I am twice the mother you will ever be! Billy might as well be my son"! "No"! Ana screamed out of her angry bitterness she pushed Linda down the stairs all three stories. Ana stood there in shock realizing what she had done. She closed her eyes so tight she thought her eye sokets might eat her face. All she her was her son screaming and crying and Jim yelling into a phone for the police. She quickly ran down stairs. "What happened"! Jim screamed. "She, um, she fell" Ana lied, and her husband believed her.
Weeks after the incident Billy acted strange, he was so attached to his telephone. He spent night and day pretending to talk into his little phone. One day when Ana was doing laundry, she seen kids outside playing soccer and she thought, it would be nice if Billy did the same. As she walked up to billy’s room, she heard him talking. "Grandma when are you coming to see me"? Then a pause, "grandma I love you". He said as if he was really talking to her. Ana ran through the door and snatched the phone from his hand and to her amazement she heard Linda speaking thought the plastic phone. She thought she was hallucinating until she herd her say, "Billy it was your mother she killed me"! "She did it"! Ana through the phone across the room, and it broke into tiny pieces. "Mommy what’s wrong"? Billy asked with angry eyes. "Do not talk to her Billy"! Ana screamed. Billy’s eyes went black and blood ran cold. "Grandmother said you did it"! "You killed her"! "No"! Ana screamed. "She’s twice the mom you will ever be"! "No"! Ana screamed. Billy picked up a peace of the broken plastic and sliced his cheeks. You did it! It was you! Jim burst through the door. Ana! "What’s going on"!? He ran up to Billy and hugged him. Look what mommy did to me! He screamed as he started crying. "Ana what have you done"! "I did not"! " She screamed I did not"!
Later that night around the dinner table. Billy did not eat his eyes fixed on his mother. "Since mommy ruined my birthday wish can I make another one"? "Honey" Jim said mommy did not rune your wish". "She did"! "Ok just make another wish "Ana scolded. "I wish mommy were gone"! He said into his food. "Never say that"! Jim yelled. Ana’s eyes began to water I am just gunna go upstairs to bed. "I ‘m sorry mommy I didn’t mean it ill go with you to sleep" he said smiling. "Ok hunny". He led her up to the second floor his eyes began to go black again. Ana began to run up the third flight of stairs when she seen hid jet black eyes. When she got there, she saw Linda with the red plastic phone. As she turned around she seen Billy and he pushed her down the three flights of stairs. Billy watched her fall down each flight and every step she fell he felt joy. He loved every second of it. Jim screamed. "Billy"! What have you done"! "She fell", He said with a deviant smile.
