Acid Rain (Avenged Sevenfold Fanfic)

Untitled Part 51

"We don't have to go to your mom's house." Brian told me.

"I want to." I said.

Three weeks later, and we are finally coming home. Brian took us to a cabin in Big Bear. I spent a lot of time sleeping at first. After that, I slowly came around with talking about my relationship with Carlos. Brian never pushed for any of this. He just waited patiently for me to talk. Sharing those details of my life was traumatic, and heartbreaking for both of us. Brian really learned all of the details regarding the abuse at the hands of Carlos.

Do I feel better?

Surprisingly, yes. I do.

In all the years I dealt with the bullshit Carlos handed me, I never really talked about any of it. A huge weight had been lifted. It also helped me to decide what to do as far as a burial for Carlos. In the end, I decided to let the county cremate him. I didn't want him to have a hold on my life any longer. I told them that they could dispose of his ashes as they see fit. I didn't want them back. Maybe this is cruel of me, but, I really didn't feel like it was. I mean, I could of left him in the morgue. God knows most people would.

I smiled and nodded at Brian. I have missed my family a lot. Brian has been keeping in touch with my mom and giving her updates as to how I was doing. I just wasn't ready to talk to anyone for a while.

As we pulled up at my mother's house, I felt happy, yet, nervous. There are a bunch of people here as normal for her Saturday get together. Which also means Brian's friends are here too. Meaning Matt is going to be here.

I cringed instantly at the thought of seeing Matt. I'm so embarrassed for losing my shit in front of him. And, I am so nervous about talking to him, I could vomit.

"Ready?" Brian asked.

"Yeah." I breathed out.

Getting out of the car, we walked up to the door. I took a deep breath and pushed rhe door open. The first person I saw was my brother. He smiled widely at me and picked me up into a hug.

"Welcome back." He said quietly.

"Thanks." I said, as he set me on my feet.

"My Kia!" My mom yelled happily, rushing to me.

"Mama!" I smiled hugging her.

"I missed you so much. Come. People missed you." My mom smiled, taking my hand.

She stopped momentarily to kiss Brian on the cheek. He laughed and followed us out back. The first person I saw, well, sort of saw, was Jimmy. He was actually a blur as he dove for me. Those lanky arms of his scooped me up off of my feet. He squeezed me tightly.

"Kia! I've missed you! You have to come in the bounce house with me!" He practically yelled.

"I will. Give me just a few minutes." I laughed, as he set me down.

"What about me?" Brian glared at Jimmy.

"Oh. Hey man. What's up?" Jimmy asked casually.

I giggled and gave Johnny a hug. Zack was next.

"Glad you're doing better. You look amazing." Zack smiled at me.

"Fuck off, Baker." Brian growled.

"Aww! Brian you look amazing too." Zack mocked, getting the middle finger from Brian.

I looked up and saw Matt hanging back. He gave me an awkward nod, then walked away. My heart sank. I feel terrible, and I need to apologize. Now, he doesn't want to be near me. I mean, I don't blame him really.
