Will Love Win?

Chapter Thirty Five

Laurent

Since what has happened, my guard has been up to the max. Alexandria has forgiven me and I'm slowly forgiving myself. I did send her and Lynn on a trip to clear her mind from everything that has been going on. I sent Larry and a few guards with them as well. Myself, on the other hand, I have just made it to my mother. I know I stated that I would think about bringing her back to the house.. I'm still thinking about that. As I walk into this building, I think of how miserable she could be in here. When I walk into her room, that is exactly how she looks, miserable.

Mrs. Bourgeois- Are you here to take me back home?

Me-No.

She rolled her eyes and laid back.

Mrs. Bourgeois- So what are you here for?

I take a second to think on rather I want to talk about this right now, or not. But it's been weighing on me heavy and I just need to know.

Me-Why didn't you give me up when you had the chance?

Slowly she looks at me and sits up.

Mrs. Bourgeois- La-

Me-Just..Answer the question.

Mrs. Bourgeois- Because I didn't want to.

Me-But you took time to think about it.. why? Did you think that I wouldn't be who I am today? Did you think th-

Mrs. Bourgeois-Laurent stop.

Me-Why?.. I want to know.. why'd you choose to treat me like I was unwanted?.. you just didn't care when it came to me. Why?

Mrs. Bourgeois- I did care, I cared about you more than you knew.

Staring at her for a brief moment, I started to get irritated. I stand up and slowly pace as I try to control my emotions.

Me-You cared?... if you cared so much.. why did you try to kill me in the nursery..

She shows expressions of both shocked and embarrassed.

Me-Father told me.. he told me how he walked in on you removing my breathing tube.

Mrs. Bourgeois- Laurent listen to me.

She said as she stood up.

Me-You tried to kill me and he stopped you.. if it wasn't for him... I wouldn't even be here-

Mrs. Bourgeois- Je t'aimais !.... Laurent Je t'aimais. (I loved you!.... Laurent I loved you.)

Me-Tu m'aimais mais pourtant mon père était le seul à le montrer ! (You loved me but yet my father was the only one to show it!)

Mrs. Bourgeois- C'était faux ! (It was fake!)

She yelled in tears. Now that I'm finally speaking on it, she wants to cry.

Me-You're only saying that because you hate the fact that I wanted to be like him.

Mrs. Bourgeois- No, I hate the fact that he manipulated you to be like him. Laurent you didn't want that, he made you like that.

Me-I wanted it.. I wanted it so that I could get away from you any chance that I got.

I turned away so that I could fix myself and exit this room. I thought I could talk about it but right now I can't.

Mrs. Bourgeois- I had to force myself to not love you.

How and why would someone force themselves to not love their own child?. I slowly look at her .

Me-.. just admit it..

Mrs. Bourgeois- Everything about your father is a lie.

Me-Really?..you'll say anything to take the blame off of you.
