"HOW LONG HAS SHE BEEN STANDING THERE?!"
I was freaking out, inside and out. Mom put her hands down and sighed.
"Jax..." It went silent. Both Eli and I looked over to her, eyes wide. She looked like she was having troubles with whatever it was she was trying to say.
"Jax... I'm sorry..." I didn't think my eyes could get any wider than what they already were. Also, I think my heart was stopping. What. The fuck?!
"I'm sorry for the way I've been acting. I have no excuse for the way I treated you and for the things I said. I just don't want to lose you or your brother. I thought I was doing the right thing, I guess. Obviously, I wasn't."
She walked towards us and bent down, grabbing my hand and Eli's hand, and put them together. "Be you. If this is what you want, go for it. I don't care what you do, who you like, who you have over. None of matters anymore. I want you to be you."
I looked at Eli who turned to look at me. I smiled and looked back to mom. "I will support you no matter what."
She smiled, little tears in her eyes. "Mom..." I felt the tears in my eyes, welling to the surface.
Mom's never said anything like this before. Not even to James! That I know of, I guess. It was strange, but it felt good. Ever since I was little, nothing was good enough. Everything I did was wrong.
"Jax, I, love you."
