Late Night Ride (Pezzy x OC)

Family Reunion

//trigger warning:abuse,victim blaming//

Its the beginning of December, the 4th to be exact, and the middle of the day. Pezzy was with the guys in the backyard barbecuing since it's their hang out day and me and Megan were in mine and pezzys room hanging out and doing each other's nails.

"So how come you don't really talk about your family? " Megan asked and I sigh while painting her nails blue. "Well I only really like my grandma.... My mom and aunt are a piece of work and I was never really close with my sister. After awhile they turned my sister against me. My dad.... My dad is a horrible person and I hope one day he rots in hell" I explain. "Why the sudden interest? " I ask.

"Well it's just... I know you're getting close with pezzys family, what if he wants to meet your... Despite how bad they" she pointed out. I take a moment to think but before I could even give an answer I felt a shift in the house. I look out the bedroom window, "son of bitch, looks like he's about to... Why can't we just have one fucking normal moment" I say getting up setting the nail polish aside and make my way downstairs. Megan followed close behind, "kids go out back with daddy ok, Megan you go as well. Let me see what the hell they want" I say and they nod doing as told and Megan followed suit but concerned.

I make my way to the front door and open it just as my mother was about to knock. It caught her by surprise judging by the look on her face. I see my mom, my aunt, my sister, my grandma. "Nana... It's nice to see you again" I say softly to break the silence. Before she could respond my mother decided to speak,"good you're home" she said while barging her way past me and the rest followed suit.

I look at them shocked and my grandma looked at me sympathetically, I know it's not her fault, this was bound to happen. "To what do I owe the pleasure mother" I say unamused while closing the front door and follow them into the living room. My sister sits on the couch with Nana while my mother and aunt look around the room in a judgemental way. "I'm the last to find out my eldest daughter is pregnant and staying with a man she hardly knows... I have every right to come down here" she said and I roll my eyes. "Thank you for your... Concern... However I'm doing just fine and it's none of your business" I say and I notice through the sliding glass door that pezzy was watching us but it seemed the guys were trying to talk with him to distract him.

My mother follows my gaze and notices the guys, "oh good... Of course you have a bunch of strange men in your home... And god they look filthy" she said making my eyes widen at her blatant disrespect. "Hey! Don't you talk about them like that" I say to her and move closer to her to take her attention off them, which worked. She looked down at me glaring, "I am your mother have some respect" she said with a venomous tone. "Fuck you and your constant demand for respect" I say just loud enough for her to hear while keeping eye contact.

Next thing I knew, there was a pain in my face and my head was thrown to the side, I look down at the floor and a metallic taste was coming from my lip. She slapped me, hard too. The sound of the door opening and all the guys walked in with Megan. "What the hell do you think your doing" pezzy said pissed off while walking over to me to check on me. I look up at him, my eyes glowing, but this time not because I'm overwhelmed but instead because I'm pissed. "Pezzy.... Back away... I don't want to hurt you" I say softly and he nodded slowly before making his way back over to the guys. I turn back to my mother and glare at her, my glowing eyes piercing into her regular ones. She looked at me in disgust along with my aunt. My sister was a bit freaked out and my Nana... Well my Nana was silently proud.

"I assume that's the little boyfriend... God you've only lived here for what? 4-5 months and you're already knocked up and living with a stranger.... You couldn't keep you legs closed could you... Not a shock I guess, you've always been a whore" she said and I knew instantly what she was talking about, the glow in my eyes fading as I stood their shocked. "You knew?.... You knew!?.... All this time you knew what was happening to me and somehow convinced yourself I was at fault!? " I shouted in disbelief. "I just want a normal fucking life or at least as normal as it can get but of course something has to happen. You just waltz in and decide now is the time to tell me that you knew this whole time what that man was doing to me. " I say. She rolls her eyes, "don't act innocent... I heard the way you begg-" I cut her off before she could finished, "begged?! The only begging i did was for him to stop... Was for my mom to come and save me... I don't know what delusions you've fed yourself to make yourself not feel guilty... But what happened to me was not my fault. " I say glaring at her.

"I am your mother-" "no... No you're not my mother... You never were and you never will be" I say. "You come into my home unannounced... You insult my friends... You insult my boyfriend and in turn insult your grandchild... You hit me and call me a whore, you then tell me I deserve the abuse I endured.... You are no mother.... You're a pathetic excuse for a human" I say and cross my arms over my chest, "get out" I say scarily calm. "No" my aunt stepped in to say and I flash my eyes at her causing her to step back a little scared. My eyes shift back to my mother, glowing in hatred. "You can insult me... You can hit me... But the second you bring them into this" I say pointing at my friends and pezzy, "is the second shit gets ugly real quick... So I suggest you get on the next flight back to California, don't look back, and forget I ever fucking existed " I say stepping closer to my mother, getting in her face. "Or I will fucking make you" I threaten lowly.

The room was so silent, you could hear a pin drop. She looks around before gesturing to my sister and aunt and Nana. My sister gets up and they make their way to the door, "I think I'll stay and chat for a bit" my Nana said staying on the couch and I bit back a smirk. I follow them to the front door, "this isn't over" my mother said as they walk over to the rental car. "Try anything and you'll regret it" I say and watch them. Once they were in the car I smirk and whistle quietly causing the windows to crack. I close the door locking it behind me and my eyes go back to normal as I walk to the living room where everyone was still at silently standing there unsure of what to do as they look at me.

"Hey grizzy? " I say looking at him and he gulped a bit nervous, "y-yeah? " he responded. "The barbeque? You should probably check on the meat" I say before making my way up to my room and sigh.
I sit on the bed and rub my head trying to calm myself. It didn't take long before I heard the bedroom door open and close, a weight on the bed sitting across from me. "I'm sorry" I say and look up at him. He takes my hands in his,"I was bound to meet your family eventually... Don't apologize, you didn't do anything wrong" he said softly. "I'm proud of you... You stood up for me and the guys... You stood up for yourself and you kept control. You protected those you love, no one can fault you for that. And those vile things that woman has said, don't believe them. You aren't a whore, you aren't at fault. " he said and moved to sit against the headboard and pulled me onto his lap, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I think.... I think the guys are scared of me" I say feeling guilty. "The way grizzy responded to me, I know that look, that mannerism... I used to get it all the time back in California once people knew what I could do. Its fear, not knowing what's about to happen. I never wanted to scare anyone I just want you all to be safe" I say as I start crying. Now I'm overwhelmed, from finding out what I just found out, to also feeling guilty for scaring my friends. He gently wipes my tears while holding my face in his hands, "I can promise you, they aren't afraid of you it's just a lot to take in. Maybe in the moment they were but they know you... The real you. Just like I know you. Just give them time to process everything that just happened. " he said and I sniffle and nod. I hold onto the front of his shirt and rest my head in the crook of his neck. His arms around me while lightly rubbing my back and quietly humming to soothe me. I felt stupid, for being so emotional like this and needing to babied almost. It felt ridiculous, I feel weak and like I'm a burden. But the way pezzy handles it all helps me see my feelings are valid and it can't be helped for many reasons. The big one being that I'm pregnant, I'm more sensitive because of that so it's normal.

With him I feel normal. I don't feel like a freak, a burden, a monster. I feel loved and wanted and cared for.
