The estranged family

Chapter 23-cousin time

I started wandering around, trying to find the house.

"Fuck" I shouted

I kept walking around and a car started following me

I put my skateboard down and start riding it as fast as I could. I turn around to see the car still following me

"Skylar" the car yelled

"I have the cops on speed dial" I said

The car sped up and I see it's Tyler

"Now get in the car" he said

I stopped driving and picked up my skateboard. I opened the door and stepped inside

"Why did you leave the house?" He asked

"I needed to process what I learned" I said

"You can't do that, you have to tell someone. You just snuck out of the house without telling anyone" he said getting angry, his knuckles were getting white from him gripping the wheel for so long.

"I'm needed space, I didn't leave the community at least" I said

"That doesn't matter" he said slamming his hands on the wheel making me flinch

"I'm sorry" I said

"Let's get you home" he said

He drove us home and the house wasn't even far. I got out of the car and headed inside

"We aren't done talking" he said

"What else do you want" I replied

"Why?" He asked

"Why I left, I told you I needed space" I said

"You could have stayed in the backyard" he replied

"I got tired of it and needed a new change of scenery" I said

"You're holding something back" he said

"You will never understand how it feels to find out your supposed grandfather paid my mother to leave and she actually left. I could have had a proper family, a dad in my life but instead I am left with a dead mother, an abusive stepdad and my biological father who I just met. If my mom didn't leave I wouldn't have been abused. You won't understand the pain and how much shit goes through me and there's no point in asking what's wrong because at the end of the day you be my biological father, the man who didn't know I was alive because of your dad" I said

I stormed up to my room and locked the door. How could my mother do that? She took the money and didn't fight. Didn't fight to have a family, nothing.

I unclasped my necklace and slammed in on the table. I was mad at my mom, but I didn't know why? I have never coped with feelings so I put my anger to one person even if they didn't do anything wrong

I'm also mad at Tyler's dad. How could he do that to my mom. She was teenager, young still and didn't know what to do

My grandparents from my mom side didn't even want me. Do they even know I'm alive?

Why did they have to do this.

Why did Tyler's dad have to pay my mom and tell her that me being alive was the worst thing? Why did my mom's parents have to kick her out? Why did mom have to pass away.

I sat down on my bed, face down on the pillow, crying and screaming into it.

Why did this have to happen. I want my mom back, I want things to go back to normal.
