POV: Marco
I watched as my mom and dad reunited from afar.
I scoffed and walked away from the scene.
Mom was never over his dissapearance, while he was gone, she would cry alone in her bed every fucking night, she'd wake up and hate going to work, it was like a routine, she'd get up, every day her eyebags getting darker and darker, her face looking sadder, hair getting longer, she was miserable, only times she would change up her attitude was when she saw me looking, she'd try to look strong but she wasn't.
When I was younger, she was the strongest most happiest woman ever, it sucked that I saw all of that die within the moment my dad went missing.
I didn't think I was supposed to mourn since she was the one hurting the most I felt the most pressure to comfort her and keep the house straight.
Only times I felt okay sometimes was at school because at least I didn't have the pressure, even though I would get comments about me not having a dad.
Sometimes I'd go straight to Daniella's house, Natalie at least didn't have that negative aura like mom did.
Something in me snapped, I turned back around "Mom." I shouted. She pulled away from my dad and looked at me in shock, "What the fuck?!?" I questioned, "Dad you've been alive this whole time?" I questioned, "Marco..." Miles said as he walked closer to me, "You've grown-" "Answer me." I demanded, "Yes but I just got back-" "When?" "The night of the Oscars."
I froze.
"You've been here for a while- did you know?!?" I turned to my mom, she didn't know what to say.
"Great. Just great. You two really shouldn't have had me you know, you two care more about some young love that should've been dead a long time ago, but instead you guys had me and made me feel like a burden, I felt like I couldn't even feel that way because-" I began choking up in tears, my mom had a face of guilt, "Marco I am so sorry I tried-" "Shut up, just shut up, you had a chance to make things better, but you didn't, you just did Peter dirty mom!" I pointed out.
I always had a vision of my mom being perfect back then.
But now I just despised her.
"You two have fun with each other, you guys deserve it." I said as I turned around and walked away.
