Breaking The Silence.

Mama

"Baby he didn't mean it he said it out of anger"I was crying hysterically with my head on the table.

"I know that momma, everyone knows your a whore but when other people use that against me as if they know it makes me mad."I hissed angrily. she just sighed and rubbed my hair consoling me gently.

"Go home to your husband."she mumbled,kissing my forehead. I nodded softly, I grabbed my bag and went to the car. I smoked two more cigarettes before driving back to the cookout.

I quickly sprayed perfume on and exited the car. I didn't realize I was hungry until my stomach guided me to the table, I sat by myself and watched as Maxwell bonded with his family. The only family I had lived in the Dominican Republic, my father's parents moved there with their youngest children and procreated some more. I had 5 aunts and 7 uncles and lord knows how many cousins. I haven't been to see my grandparents since two weeks before my tragic accident.

"If you want my sons attraction, you have to be hanging with me."Raymond muttered, bitterly sitting next me.

"That's a shame dad"I paused and sighed.

"I should be able to get my husbands attention by just sitting here, he's upset that I told him that your wife and your sisters can kiss my ass."I took another sip of the punch.

Raymond was doubled over laughing loudly,, As he got up he wiped the tear from his eye and sat back down.
"That is gold my child, no wonder I don't like you but I tolerate you enough to like you a little bit."He nudged my shoulder indicating that his whole immediate family was coming our way.

"What's so funny Ray, Lena?"Jennifer said, looking from him to me.

"We were having a conversation Jenn if you don't mind"I interrupted.

"It's fine Selena"Raymond raised a hand at me.

Stupid fucker gave me the silence hand.

"Tell us"Stephanie said, smiling.

"Why?, what's the point?, will it satisfy your craving hunger of hatred towards me?, we were talking about me telling you all and I mean ALL of you to kiss my ass"I said,I raised a brow and chucked back the rest of the drink.

Raymond doubled over in laughter again, I couldn't help but laugh with him.

"It's even funnier the second time."Raymond had to suppress his laughter by holding his finger in his mouth.

"Selena come on we are leaving."Maxwell mumbled, only then did I realize that he had been completely silent during the entire altercation. He grabbed my arm and hauled me to the car until I snatched myself away.

"I'm not your property."I huffed and sat in the passenger seat.

"It smells like cigarettes, have you been smoking in my car?"Maxwell looked at me, his accent coming out.

"I'm sorry okay!, Just drive please."I growled and sat back. We drove in silence and I was able to calm myself to the steady hum of the road.

"I'm sorry."He whispered lightly.

"It's okay"I murmured lightly, frowning. I went to sleep shortly after that.

I woke up with a jolt, the sweat dripping off my forehead in beads. I looked over at Maxwell who was sleeping instinctively I went to kiss his forehead and left out the bed.

I fumbled with the wine bottle for a few minutes before hissing through my tears.

"Stupid wine bottle!!"I picked up the bottle and crashed it against the counter, it shattered in my hands. I took the glass cup and threw it at the ground. I dropped down and sat in the puddle of wine crying.

"What happened."Maxwell came storming out with a bat followed by Maurice with a pan.

Maxwell nodded at Maurice telling him to go back to bed. Maxwell carefully lifted me up.

"I'm sorry"I sobbed.

"It's even more satisfying the second time."He murmured softly kissing my cheek.

He just held me carefully, stroking my hair, getting the glass out my hair.

"She needs to see a therapist."Maurice whispered.

"No No, she's fine, just a little off her game."Maxwell said.

"I can hear you fuck faces talking about me."I hissed,turning around to face them.

"I'm going to go see my mother."I mumbled, I grabbed the purse off the table and walked towards the door.

"Can I come?"Maxwell asked, rather quickly.

"No"I winked and smiled, shutting the door.

The drive seemed shorter than usual. Before I knew it I was being escorted to the table.

"Lena?"She mused at seeing my face.

"Hi mama, I just wanted to thank you for the advice earlier it really helped,"I nodded my head

"Do you have a metal nail file with you, I know you do, please hija give it to me. I need to give it to shank this girl so these bitches in here now now to mess with me."I paused and looked around, I slowly slid the file into her hand and kissed her forehead.

"No more mama, I'll come back as soon as I can and you need to write Zena, your sister needs your advice on men."I waved to her as I left the building.

"Momma"I chuckled to myself and drove off into the distance.
