I stop dead with the traumatic sight in front of me, my hands froze in mid air. Aunt Maggie and mom sensed there was someone in and they immediately jumped from eachother, covering themselves with their blanket.
“Ba… Baby” Mom is looking at me with fearful eyes and stuttered but I’m too speechless to say anything.
If I had known I should have stayed in my room, I shouldn’t have looked for Derek and I shouldn’t have come here and now thanks to her, I’d be forever traumatized.
“Dove” I felt a hand on my shoulder and I came back to earth. I flinched hard and stepped away from my mom who had a towel wrapped around her body.
I looked up at her in disgust, if slapping her was an option then I’d have done it. I just can’t believe the woman I’ve lived my whole life for, the woman I’ve tried to impress and worked myself to stupor for is sleeping with her supposed best friend but I’m not even sure anymore.
“How could you?” I couldn’t even hide the hatred from my own voice.
“We were gonna tell you but we just didn’t know how to” Aunt Maggie who was still laying on the bed with a duvet, wrapped around her naked body.
“What do you mean we? Does Taylor knows? Does Derek knows?” I asked with unbelievable eyes and their silence just proved me right.
Taylor… d@mn her! She held a grudge on me for so long because I kept secret from her meanwhile she had her own secret that’s over hundred times worse than mine.
My fist clench, my eyes are starting to feel watery. I can’t believe my life has been a lie. Mom made us come here since we were kids because I believed she was seeing her best friend but she has been coming to see her lover instead.
“I can’t believe this” I turned to leave and mom followed me but I stopped, giving her an death stare. “Don’t follow me, I don’t want to ever see you again!” I yelled before rushing back to my room.
The first person I see is Taylor, she had a bright smile on her face and the things that came to my mind is ππͺπ’π³! ππ³π’πͺπ΅π°π³! ππ’π¬π¦!
“Check this cool video I made at the-” I didn’t know when my hand flew to her face, giving her a tight slap. I can tell she’s shocked with her hands on her cheek and facial expression alone. I’ve never raised my hands on Taylor, I’m surprised by my own movement but my anger and wh@Ε₯Δver hurtful feelings I have inside takes the better of me.
“All these while you’ve been lying to me. All of you!!” I yelled the last part out.
Taylor still looks shocked, her hand is still on her cheek, the spot I slapped her.
“You still want to pretend you don’t know our moms are dating!” I yelled and she slowly looks at me, the glimpse of guilt flashed through her eyes.
“I’m really sorry Dove, I just didn’t know how to bring it up” She muttered.
I wonder why her admitting to the truth, that she had known all these while and lied to me hurt me so much.
“How long?” I slowly ask.
“I knew four years ago, I over years ago, I saw them kissing and they begged me not to tell you. I was happy that we’d be going from best friends to sisters but I was sad that it still had to happen, I thought mom loved dad” She says and wipe the tears that roll down from her eyes.
“So this is why you were against Derek and I? Why didn’t you tell me” I ask painfully.
“I didn’t know how to tell you and besides Derek is the first person to know about this. He was the one who didn’t catch them in act because they willingly told him, they thought he was older and could handle anything” Taylor replies.
I chuckled out a tears. So this is why he keeps pushing me over and over again, hurting me for the sake of my parents happiness. I’m thinking what more do mom want, I’ve done everything she told me to do and now she’s taking away the little thing I want.
“I don’t know how to feel about any of this Taylor, I’d need some time alone” I sigh and went to lay on the bed, facing the wall as my mind drifted in front of me, realizations down on me.
Derek wasn’t trying to hurt me by pushing me away, he was trying to protect me from getting hurt but I didn’t know. He made me h@Ε₯Δ him so we wouldn’t work out but I still don’t h@Ε₯Δ him, I can never h@Ε₯Δ Derek and this time, I’m doing what I want for myself this time.
Everyone has lied to me here and I think it’s time I start living for myself from now on and firstly, I’d have to get away from this people. I stare at my wardrobe, there’s a paper squeezed on it, the one Derek gave to me as he offered me to leave with him but I said no.
I bit my lips and slowly turn to look at sleeping Taylor. My mind drifted to what my mom and Aunt Maggie might be doing now, did they continue from where they stopped? f-__-k it I should have said yes!
I stood up and moved to my wardrobe, I began packing all the clothes from my wardrobe and stuffing them inside my travelling box. They would wake up and likely not find me here tomorrow. I need to clear my head, I hope my new decision isn’t a bad idea.
