Hidden shadows [Milex/mclennon]

You Were Mine

Awoken by loud banging coming from her front door Pauline warily opens the door to whoever was at the door. Seeing miles at her door at this time a night especially after a concert was surprising to her. "Miles, darling what on earth are you doing here knocking like a mad man at this time."

Not meeting her eyes focusing on the gravel by the entrance, trying so hard to keep it together, takes a deep breath. " Is there something you have to tell me?...mommy dearest.. if that's you're real name."

Confused by his words " Miles.. what are you on abou'? Are you on something?" Not knowing where miles is trying to go with this, Pauline leads miles inside the house. "Now start over please and due try to make more sense."

"Something very interesting happened at my concert today, you see... guess who attended my show.. Sir Paul McCartney, my hero." Using a sarcastic tone even in a situation like this has always been who Miles Peter Kane was, as a kid he would get sent to the office quite often and it wasn't because of fights or being a pest. No it was because he would make his teachers cry with sarcasm and witty remarks, so being his usual Sarcastic self was no surprise to Pauline. "Oh darling that's amazing news, it must have been exciting." Hugs miles not noticing his stiff arms next to his body. "Oh yeah very exciting especially when I was told he wanted to meet me backstage."

Squealing like a fan girl Pauline excitingly asks, " oh my god did he? What did he say? Was he nice?"
Laughing with no emotion almost a robotic tone miles replied " oh yeah very nice... super nice that in other words he sees me as one of his own."
"One of his own? How'd you mean?"
"Yeah so he came into my dressing room claiming to be my birth mother/father I'm still kind of confused on that part but apparently he gave birth to me which is quite interesting mother because I had the impression that you were the one that gave me life. So please tell me right here, right now that it's just a big misunderstanding and that Paul McCartney is a crazy git who lost his marbles."

Frozen in place feeling like an ice cold bucket of water was just thrown at her, staring at Miles like a deer in head lights. No, this is impossible miles is her son, yes she did adopt him as a newborn but her husband always said he got him from a poor homeless drug addict who couldn't raised her baby. From that day on she kept her promise to her husband of miles origins and raise him as their biological child taking to the grave this secret.

Gulping avoiding his eyes, scared to see the disappointment and hurt in her son's eyes. " I don't know what you are talking about miles, you are my son."

"But that's not my question, am I your biological son?" Again with the silence, it's driving him mad.

Grabbing her arms, he looks her dead in the eyes with so much pain that Pauline feels the chills going up and down her spine. "Please mum don't avoid me question please, look me straight in my eyes and tell me that I'm your son and that Mr.McCartney has gotten it mixed up...please!"

Tears spilling out of her eyes and with trembling lips she shakes her head before answering. " No miles I'm not your biological mum.. I didn't give birth to you."

Suffocation is what takes over miles at this very moment, letting his mums arms go he turns away from her and starts yelling out in pain, anger, frustration, pulling at his hair miles is trying to desperately calm down, closing his red teary eyes he begins to take deep breaths in and deep breaths out.

"I'm so sorry my darling I never wanted to fool you or hurt you, all I've done your whole life is love and care for you but I promised your father that I would keep this too myself because we wanted to protect you and thinking this is what was best for you. But I swear my darling that I don't know if Mr. McCartney is your mother. That's the thing, your father told me the day he brought you home when you were just a couple of hours born that a drug addicted had surrendered you to him because she couldn't care for you. I've never questioned it because the minute I held you in my arms I knew you were mine and every minute that I spent with you I was convinced that theirs no way in hell I was gonna give you."

Taking in his mom's words, shuttering miles turns and runs.

"Miles!! Miles I'm sorry!!!" Watching his shadow disappear in the moon light Pauline breaks down, closing the door slowly. Hugging herself muttering "I'm sorry" over and over again as fear creeps in feeling like she just lost her son forever.
