Flight or Fight

Chapter 17

After we ended were alone in the living room, we started drinking wine while mom was speaking about her good old days with her friends. It was nice listening her. I never thought that I would sit like this, and drinking wine with her while she was talking about her days when she was young.

They were times when I used to dream about this moment, and I wished it would come true. And now here I am with her and my sister having a girl's night.

"So, Elena has is exactly how you were when you were a teen. Now, that makes more sense." Lily said.

I looked at her and say, "Hey!!" While we started laughing, but then I added "But for real now, that makes more sense now why most of the times we argue." I said without me realising for the moment what I enlisted.

I wanted to laugh with them today, and having fun not bringing up our past and properly we will start arguing. But at least I did it in a fun way.

They were smiling but my mom looked at me, while my sister was looking at me and my mom. When I looked at my mom, I knew I fucked up. I was just waiting when she will start arguing with me. But I didn't expect for what was coming.

"You know, when they mind-linked us about what happened we couldn't believe it. At first, we thought about you if you are okay, you are scared. We went back straight away, and we found you traumatised with what happened. You kept saying this tall men with this cigar smoke scent of his killed them. When they asked you to describe his face you just kept repeating the same thing and then you fainted." My mom said and then looked at me and then continued "I know I did an awful job being you mom, and not being there for you. They told us we must move. They did such a great job covering up after us that not even your mate could find you. And at that time, he didn't know you were his mate. He just knew that you were the witness in the murder case. Then how we had to travel to different places for business we had to be careful. I mean, they could smell your scent on us, so we decided to keep you far from us. But it doesn't excuse our behaviour at all. We thought we are doing good, but we were wrong."

I never thought that I actually will hear my mom explaining and apologising. Even after I heard it, I don't know if I can forgive her easily. Maybe she thought, she is doing a good thing, but it was the living hell for me. She doesn't know, and she will never know how it is to live like that.

"Yes, you were wrong, and it will take some time until I will forgive you. I mean, it was the living hell for me, being left out, seeing that my sister gets more attention than me. But it's all in the past now. Now I have my mate with me, and I'm happy."

They didn't know what to say. While I saw them with there guilt, being sad I thought it would be better if I would change the subject. I got my answers in a way, so that's enough for now.

"So, back a bit at the guy who murdered the late Queen and King, did I say something else about him?" I asked hoping they would say something useful.

My mom looked at me and said, "No, just other that it was a big guy, with cigar scent. We asked you back then, but you didn't said nothing else."
