Rebel Heart

leaving

Gage

I had just returned to my place after school was out, my dad left after I was born so it was always me and my mom which she always had a different guy over every week. I walked inside and heard her loud moans as they were in her bedroom, I had gotten used to it by now as I quickly cooked something to eat for myself when I seen her coming downstairs while she made sure her clothes were covering up her body good enough.

Sabrina: I didn't realize you were home...

Gage: I haven't been back long and I don't want to disturb your plans so I will take off as soon as I finish eating.

Sabrina: you don't have to rush off so quickly Gage, I actually have something that I want to talk about with you.

Gage: okay, what is it?

I seen her boyfriend walk downstairs and he immediately looked at me after he placed his hand on her shoulder then kissed her on the neck.

Sabrina: your father and I...

Gage: Philip isn't my father, he's your new toy of the week but go ahead mom...

Philip: watch your mouth Gage...

Sabrina: like I was saying, we decided to let you know that you're going to be a big brother.

Gage: so you're pregnant? That's fantastic...

Sabrina: yes I'm pregnant and I know that you don't exactly come around much but I want you to be part of your sister's life...

Gage: you don't exactly roll out the welcome mat whenever I am here but I guess I can try to be part of her life as long as Phil agrees to stay out of my way.

Sabrina: Phil is the father of your sister and I'm not just going to make him stay somewhere else.

Gage: okay. I will just continue doing what I'm doing now...

Philip: you're a real piece of work boy, it's no wonder your birth father left...

Sabrina: Phil don't...

Gage: go to hell Phil...

Sabrina: Gage Mitchell Andrews!

I headed up to my room and placed what few clothes I had as I shoved them in a duffle bag then grabbed the keys to my motorcycle before I left this place.

I seen my mom come outside and heard her begging me to stay but I couldn't as long as he was here.

Sabrina: don't go Gage please...

Gage: I can't stay here mom, I'm sorry...

Sabrina: you're just like your father you know that? You both think leaving is going to fix things but it won't...

Gage: I can't stay here as long as...

I looked over at Phil who had been watching my mom standing beside me...

Sabrina: I know he can be a hard person to get along with but I want you to try for your sister's sake. I want you to have a relationship with her when she is born.

Gage: I will come back when she is born and I will be raise her because she doesn't need to be in this environment.

Sabrina: are you saying that you're going to take her away from me and her father?

Gage: that's exactly what I am saying. She doesn't deserve to be raised in the condition you're in.

Sabrina: and how exactly are you going to do that Gage? you don't have anywhere else to go let alone the money to take care of a child.

Gage: maybe not at the moment but I will find a way to make it and I will come back for her when I get on my feet.

Sabrina: you're a real piece of work, you're own father didn't want you and now I see why...

Gage: my father did want me, it was you he didn't want and now I see why. You have a different guy here every week; and you think Phil is the father of the child you're carrying? You need help mom and I hope you get it fast.

I put the key in the ignition of my motorcycle and cranked it up before I rode away without looking back. I wasn't sure where I was going and didn't care but I knew it would be better than staying with my mom another day.
