A woman's baby is born with many illnesses. 17 years later, MOTHER/CONNIE (Adult) attends a meeting for mothers of homeschooled kids and talks about how excited she is for her daughter to go to college. Chloe does her daily routine which includes being homeschooled, doing physical therapy, taking her medicine, and having dinner with her mom.
The next day, Chloe sneaks into the kitchen to steal chocolate. She finds a bottle of green pills with a warning label on it and prescription under her mother's name. When Mother gives Chloe her meds, Chloe recognizes them as the same green pills but takes them anyway. The next day, when Mother is gone, Chloe sneaks into her bathroom and steals the pill bottle. She notices that her mother replaced a new label on over the one with her own name.
That night, Chloe looks up the medication on the computer, but the internet is disconnected. Without her knowledge, her mother watches her the whole time. The next morning, Mother tells Chloe that the pills are just heart medication. She also mentions that she’s struggling with financial problems, and that getting prescribed meds to herself is cheaper. Chloe remains unconvinced.
Chloe refuses...
