Chapter 21

"Did you really not know that I'm here?" - Perrie asks Wendy when they go back in the living room. 

"Oh I did" - she says, sitting down. "But I love my son too much to let him be with you"

"But him and I are already together and very much in love. He's happy with me Wendy" 

"Leave him alone.. He was happy with Mia until you had him around your pinky again. You manipulated him" - Wendy says. 

"I didn't force him to do anything, like you did. I didn't manipulate him, like you did. Can't you just be happy for him for being with the woman he loves?" 

God knows how Alex and Christian turned out to be fine while growing up with people like Wendy and Mark.

Perrie chuckles quietly at the thought as Wendy shoots her a death glare. She really did nothing wrong and somehow she always ends up the one who gets the blame. Like why does she even hate her? She saved her son's life from her psychotic ex husband, and she's still the evil one. Make it make sense.. 

"He loved Mia too, but you still had to get in their way, didn't you?" - Wendy comments, and just then Alex walks in the room, holding three mugs with tea. 

"He didn't love her, and she was the one standing in our way. He was with me first, remember?" - Perrie says. 

"Can you both stop?" - Alex asks nicely as he takes a seat between the two women. "Mum, I love Perrie and I didn't love Mia, what's the big deal?"

"Mia never hurt you the way she did" - she continues. 

"So Mark is the innocent one in all of this? Do you know how abusive he was to us? You still seem to see nothing wrong with him?" - Perrie argues. 

"Babe, okay, it's enough.." - Alex sighs. 

"He's his father, why would he hurt his son?" 

"Well I'm his girlfriend, why would I hurt my boyfriend?" - Perrie raises her voice. "I was by his side for a whole year while he was in a coma, I never gave up on him and didn't even think about moving on for a split second and you still dare to say that I'd ever do anything bad to him?" 

"Yes, because you're a fucking cheater and you know that"- Wendy shouts back.

"I said enough!" - Alex yells out suddenly, making them shut their mouths immediately. "I'm done listening to you constantly fighting each other. I love you both so much, and I'd rather have you two get along. I don't want to have to pick a side or be in the middle of this. For my sake, get along, please" 

"I didn't even do anything and she hates me" - Perrie says. 

"He was in a coma for a whole year and almost died because someone happened to be obsessed with you" - Wendy says, taking a sip of her tea. 

"And how is that my fault?" 

"Do you not hear me?" - Alex stops them again. "You know what? I'm going to bed, I'll talk to you when you decide to behave like adults" - he says and stands up from the couch, making his way towards the door. 

"Alex wait.." - Wendy says. 

"Good night mum" - he says, now walking up the stairs. 

"I hope you're happy now" - she turns to Perrie. "Now he's mad at me because of you"

"Yeah it rains outside because of me" - Perrie huffs. "Stop it Wendy, not everything is my fault. This one is on you" 

"I just want the best for my son, and-"

"And what's best for him isn't what you think it is, okay? Get over it. Get a grip"

"But-"

"If you don't argue with me, I won't argue with you, as simple as that. I'm going to bed now too, and tomorrow I'll pretend like you're not even here, I'm sure you can do the same"
