My best friends mom...

Chapter 8

Y/n's POV

Peering into the car I saw Lauren, and she saw Aaliyah, she was mad and you could see the rage on her face, fuck. She slapped my cheek then grabbed my arm bending it, "you fucking asshole, now you think you can just go fuck some girl" she yelled at me , I was drunk so I didn't really care at this point "oh whatever man! Go back to your husband, you want him right, fucking wants to be with a prick who doesn't even love you" I shook my head laughing "be my guest" I was slurring my words as I yelled this shit out, "Fuck you Y/n You know nothing! That's how families work, how parents do shit, it's hard to let go! And this has been going on longer than you've even been around" I sighed pressing my hand to my head, she slapped me on my chest a few times and was pushing me, I would never lay a hand on her though. "And your right, you, Nicho. My husband is an asshole always has been and will always be the same, he comes back every time and I take him back thinking that maybe he'll change. Or has changed. He leaves on his business trips when he gets tired of his family. Stays a month and who knows about who he has on the side in every other place he's been" she sighed "he's a liar and the only reason we are still married is because of me." She looked up at me then spoke " you know he's done this to us four times now. When Nicholas was first born, he took off business trip actually didn't come get back until three months later, I was beyond upset and we were done and during the first few years that's what it was like. He would come and peep into my sons like un announced and whenever the timing was right for him. While he went off on his trips all around the world." She hummed before continuing "He did it again though when nicho was 6 I had taken him back, I thought he was ready to change, since he came back to town, was staying with his parents at the time and was actually spending time with his son, Nicholas met his grandparents, he was being a father. It didn't last though because a few weeks later it was the same commotion only different, I had been getting weird feelings about him and his business trip, the week he was supposed to leave he was distant and on his phone much more than usual. Not paying attention to Nicho. So I had looked on his phone, he had been exchanging images and messages with some woman for months. And he was planning on going to see her tomorrow when his flight lands. There was no business trip and was there ever any?" She shrugged and I sat down beside her, we were seated on the hood of her car now. "He was gone for years until once again I a fool took him back when Nicho was 12 It all happened again, he decided family was too much and literally took off, went and lived on his own. He didn't want any responsibility for Nicholas and actually signed his rights away" she said while wiping her eyes, she then smiled "Nicho by then had grown threw all this so it wasn't any new to him, but that didn't mean it didn't destroy any less, I took him back one last time and we made an agreement, he can come back as much as he wants because the house is in his name, he doesn't want anything to do with Nichos or to be pestered with fatherly duties or discussions, it was all on me, but we would be nice and well for him. Whenever Peter did decide to make an unannounced visit home." I nodded and looked over at her "yeah but you don't have to behave like your back together" she sighed "I know 
Y/n that was back on my part, and that's never really been the case, I just he pulls at my heart strings, and yeah when he comes back in the beginning all I'm happy about is about the fact he's back. I let that play into my decisions and let my mind get ahold of me. I always get back to reality" she took my hand and spoke "I could never be with Peter again, but we do try and remain consistent with our affection whenever he's around. and I'm sorry im sorry I'm hurting you and putting you threw all this." She hugged me "you don't deserve it and that's why I told you all this, if you want to get involved and be here, you need to know everything." I looked at her confused and asked "so if I want to be with you and for us to continue doing the things we do I got to trust you and just let you be fondled by him! To accept when he comes back, that you're not mine?" She shakes her head "no just that he'll be around and things will never really change." She must be so ugh "you can't have more than one person you have to choose!" She got up and sighed as she made her way back around the car to the drivers door and as she made eye contact with me she said "if I have to choose it's Pete, he's family, we're family this has all been for the family for Nicho and if you're going to make me choose I'm going to choose him. He's my husdband!" She said as tears sprang from her eyes now, mine were already flooding. "So that's it then? We're done?" She sighed as she got in her car and I looked at her threw the window "I guess so!" She replied crying and shrugged, "Fine!" I yelled back "Fine!" She said and then she started her car and ended up leaving. "Yeah WERE DONE!" I yelled as she drove off, I was a fool to think I'd have a chance, that she'd choose me over him. He's a horrible dad and I'm way better than him, the things he's done to them. If that's what she wanted then fine.

Lauren's POV

As I sped home, my vision was being flooded with tears, I was sobbing, I love them both. I know what love is and I know when I feel it. I love Pete and our past together it's messy but familiar, and he still gets me, now this new teenager man, what am I thinking getting involved in all this, the possibility and the chances, this new love. Unashamed and innocent. Once I got home I was exhausted , I went up to my bedroom and laid down in my bed. The bed I share with Pete. He eventually came into the room at one point, maybe an hour or two later. He layed down behind me and wrapped his arms around me when he got comfy and ready for bed. "I love you Lauren, and I'm sorry, I'm really gonna try I promise" he had been drinking, and was always so honest, "we will be a family again lo" and he fell asleep. I laid in bed in my thoughts, I love him but I can't go threw this over and over again, putting Nicholas threw it. Y/n doesn't want anything to do with me now and I don't know if I can handle that. I ended things with her before anything could even happen. Nothing could happen. I don't know what to do. I'll get over her and hopefully she can get over me. I wasn't going to miss this chance, I believed Pete this time and I know that this has occurred in the past but I want to trust it. And at the same time I'm hating myself for it. Why did he have to come back, why when I only just met him. That night I tossed and turned in bed and slept horribly but hey at least I got my girls. I need to call them.
