Protection

Chapter 8.

The next few days were strained and awkward. My mother had decided that we were going to stay with my grandmother for a few days so that we could have, as she put it, 'a change of scenery'. At that moment in time a change of scenery was the last thing I needed- I was tired and stressed from having to make social interactions at school and all I really wanted was Robert.

But my mum wouldn't listen, insisting I was infatuated with him and that it was only a short term thing. I suppose the fact that we're still together five years later disproves her point really, but to be fair I was still young at the time.

One day though I got really mad with my mum.

I am fuming! I don't think I've ever EVER been this angry! I cannot believe she has done that!

Today we arrived at grandma's. As per usual, she asked if I was seeing anyone at the moment. And what did my mother do? She told my poor, unassuming grandmother that I had slept with Rob on, and these were her words, "several occassions I believe". SEVERAL OCCASIONS? I haven't done anything with him, although Lord knows I've tried.

Grandma looked so uncomfortable and now she won't talk to me out of awkwardness. She believes in old fashioned morals you see, so obviously highly disapproved although she'd never say it.

I'm really really angry. She has totally crossed the line this time.
