I have never seen a sight more horrible than this one. My mom was half naked and making out with some shirtless person that I didn't recognize. The guy was sweating like he just did a long workout. He had curly brown hair and brownish black eyes. He was wearing only a pair of blue denim jeans that was halfway down his legs so you can see his underwear. There is so many things I want to say to her. So many questions I want to ask but the only thing I could think to say right now is " What the hell?"
I turn to Eli and he looks shocked to his eyes are widened and so is my mothers and the stranger's. I'm so confused. There are so many things running through my head right now.
" I'm just going to go upstairs and let you guys talk" Eli says. I watch him walk out of the living room.
He probably feels awkward. He is now completely wrapped up in my family drama. I didn't want him to get into all of this. He already has enough to deal with at home.
" Honey, listen" my mother says but I interrupt" No, you listen. I understand that you and dad are divorced and you are allowed to date now but you could have at least told me."
" I know" she says.
" No, mom you don't know"I was now yelling and screaming at her.
"Please, honey take a seat" she says. I look at the shirtless stranger next to her.I didn't like him but then I realized that I just can't judge him by his actions. He could have genuinely loved my mother or maybe he just was another man that wanted what all boys want but if I wanted answers to these questions then I would have to take a nice deep nice breath and listen mom tell me about her maybe romantic love story about her and that stranger so I sit down on the soft couch.
" This is Andy" she says and point him. " I met him about six months ago. I went to a party and we met. He was really sweet and two months later we started dating and I...." she says. There is a short pause.
" You what?" I ask.
"I..I lied to you honey, I'm sorry. I haven't been working late at all." she says.
" What do you mean?" I ask.
" All those times I have been pretending to work late, I was always with Andy" she says.
" Mom, how could you lie to me?" I say in a loud voice.
" I'm sorry" she says in a soft voice. I feel so betrayed. How could she do this to me? She is my mother. We always have been close ever since my parents divorced. She was the only one I had left and now I knew that I couldn't trust her.
"Honey, can we just pretend..?" she says. I knew what she was going to say. She wanted me to pretend all this never happened but how could I do it. I just found her on a couch making out with some man I didn't even know and she expects me to forget all about it like nothing ever happened. That's impossible.
" No, mom!You, know what, why don't you just do me a favor and just stay the hell away from me. You could just go stay with Andy. You want to spend more time with him than me,anyways" I say and I regret the words right after I said them. I knew that my choice of words would make her cry immediately but I wanted her to know that I didn't like the idea of her not telling me that she was dating the first guy ever after her divorce with my dad. It hurt me but I knew what I said to her hurt her more.
" Is that really what you want?" she asks. The area around her eyes was very red and more and more tears were running down her face.
" Yes" and I regretted those words too but I had to prove to her that what she did was very wrong.
" I didn't mean to cause any problems" Andy says in a deep voice.
" No, it was I who caused the problems, Andy" she says and then I feel bad. I can see the pain in her eyes.
