A new life (the sequal)

Chapter 17

"Why didn't you run? You knew your mother wasn't going to change. But you stayed hoping that she would. Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with having hope in people who don't deserve it. Look the way I see it is that your mother slept with Weiss and Perry because she is a lost cause. But the way you see it...you see it as harmless mistakes. And as long as you don't address those issues...the longer you will see them as harmless mistakes."...said the doctor

"Your right. I'm pretty sure you hear those words a lot. But I wanted to see the good in my mother. And if that means not seeing the bigger picture that is in front of me...then I must be stupid. I wanted to be like every other person who thinks that their mother is a good person. I just thought that her doing those harmless mistakes I just thought she missed dad. One day I came home from my interview...and once you get the job you are supposed to be happy. Maybe, there was like 5 seconds of happiness, before it got ruined."...said Jane

"Before it got ruined?"

"After the interview was over, I was heading out to my car...to leave. And as I started pulling out this car a couple of blocks down started to follow me. Of course, I had to make sure he was following me. So I drove down every road in most neighborhoods and on every road I went down that same car followed me. So I didn't want him or her following me to my house so I pulled into a grocery store and yelled get out of the car. I didn't know his name. But I have seen his face before. He works at the place that I am trying to get a job with."...said Jane

"There were countless guys that work at that place how could you be sure that it wasn't any of them?"...asked the doctor

"Because he looked like he wanted to have sex with me right then and there. and the other guys were batting for the team."...said Jane

"You could have any other job. Did you choose this one because it pays more than most jobs?"...asked the Doctor

"Yes and no. I told my mother when I graduated from college that I would support both of us. And if that meant finding a job that pays a lot of money then so be it. A week after I got the job, I came home to my mother and she asked me what is wrong. I told her that the same guy that followed me around after my interview wouldn't stop flirting wouldn't stop being all touchy-feely, wouldn't stop whispering sexual things in my ear. He kept asking me out and I told him no several times, I even told him why I didn't want to go out with him."...said Jane

"So it was about the money. Did you ever mention to the guy that you were focusing on work?"...asked the doctor

"Ok. I wanted to get settled first at my job before jumping into another relationship, where I would be forced to talk about why I am waiting to have sex. The last relationship I was in was so complicated that all he wanted to do was have a conversation about why I didn't want to do it, and so he had to turn to porn to turn him on."...said Jane

"Wait...is that why he showed up at your mothers house so sad and depressed? Ok, I get that in the beginning but yall have been dating for 2 years and 3 months don't you think you had him waiting for a while? When a man waits for that other person to offer themself up and then don't they will eventually move on and cheat on you."...said the doctor

"So you think that after a few months of dating that I should of lost it?"...asked Jane

"I'm not going to say 'yes'. But I am going to say that you should of at least talked about it. You would still have a boyfriend if you did."...said the doctor
