Scared Love

Chapter 4

Rosella's POV

I clear the table as tears flow down my cheeks from the words that Mathew has just said to me.  I was only trying to be nice to him.  I had suspected that  was how he was going to react towards my kindness but I didn't think it would hurt so bad. 

After washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen I grab my purse and head for the front door.  Would Matt mind if I use one of his cars? He has a lot of cars.  I saw them in the morning when I was giving myself a tour around the house.  I turn around and head for the  door for the garage and I bang it on purpose . I grab one of the keys.  I click the key and the purple Mustange unlocks.

" Oh this is going to be fun." I squeal and get into the car. 

The ride to the hospital is short because it's just a few blocks from Mathew's apartment.  I arrive at the hospital and I'm told the room that my mom is. 

  I knock and my mom turns around and she instantly smiles at me but she's caring her bag that she always carries when she has checkups at the doctors. Oh right she told me yesterday that the doctor will let her go home in the afternoon. 

" Hi sweetie." she hugs me and I return one.  She is really glowing despite the fact that she's sick.  I smile at her when she pulls away and before I knew it I feel my eyes watery. 

" Oh no sweetheart what did he do to you?  Sit down and tell me everything so I can go and murder him right now." I silently laugh at my mother's remark. " No Mama it's not him.  I'm just happy to see you that's all. I missed you too much .  You look good."

" Aww Rose come here." She opens her arms for me to hug her.  I lean in and she rests her chin on my forehead.  We stay quiet for a few minutes.

" But if he's still not treating right I can still kill him you know that right. "  I laugh at my mother's joke.  I pull away and sit on the bed and she comes to sit besides me. 

" What's wrong honey please tell me."  she asks with curiosity visible in her tone. I take a deep breath and start to explain everything from the time in my room getting ready for the wedding to this morning. 

" No Rose I won't let you sit there and watch you waste your life just because of this stupid liver cancer.  Please just leave him and we will figure it out. "

" No Mama I can't.  I can handle him, you don't have to worry about me and focus on you please for once. "

" Okay fine but I swear if something happens to you I will have a burden for life." she finally gives in." No mum stop don't say that." she nods and looks at her clothes packed in her bag.  " Come on I will drop you home. " I get up and take the bag.  We get into the car and start driving.  We spend the car drive catching up and laughing.  We arrive and I walk her to her door step. 

" I can't believe you actually took his car without his permission. " my mother laughs. 

" Mom please don't keep reminding me that because I swear his going to kill me and I don't want to think about it."

" I'm sorry sweetie but thank you for the ride.  I really appreciate it."  she hugs me and kisses my forehead.  I pull away and get into the car and wait for her to get into the house .  I play music for the rest of the drive.  My phone rings while I'm driving. I quickly answer before he can say anything.

" Hey Matt what's up? "

" Where the fuck is my mustang? " I can hear his anger through the phone. "  Oh the mustang?,  I thought I could sell it and just spend the money shopping." I lie

" What? "

I try not to laugh at this panicking and angry Mathew. 

" I'm joking Matt."
