A New Life (Robert Downey Jr Fan Fic)

I Meant What I Said

TAYLORS POV
Im just sitting on the couch watching Tom and Jerry. Stop judging, nothing else is on! Anyways, i texted my mom letting her know how i feel about this Robert guy, i hope shes not mad at me. But, shes been gone for more than a half an hour and im starting to think shes still at his house. Then i hear a car pull into the driveway, thank god! A minute later, my mom walks in the door, holding Starbucks. "Sorry, Starbucks took longer than expected, and i didnt want to text and drive." She says coming in, handing me my frappiccihno.
"Its fine, i just figured you were still at his house." I say. She plops down on the couch next to me, then i hear her sigh.
"Did you really mean what you texted?" She asked me wanting the truth like i was telling her lies my whole life. I look at her with full attention and slightly nod.
"Of course i meant it. When you went away crying, i felt really bad, ive never seen you like that before. At least not when i caused it.." She then reaches to give me a forgiveness hug, i guess thats what to call it anyway. I honestly dont know.
"Your on your own for dinner on Wednesday." She says, still holding me. We brake the hug.
"Let me guess, if i didnt text you, you wouldnt have told me this until Wednesday before you went, right?" I say acting like im right.
"Why would i want to hide it?" She asks. I raise my eyebrow at her.
"Because, your going out with him." I say, refusing to call him Robert.
"What if im not going out with Rob? What if im just spending time with my friends again?" She asks me like im stupid.
"Mom, do i look stupid? I was on high honor roll, the whole year, last year. And your telling me that your not going out with him as soon as possible?" I say, my eyebrow still raised.
"Okay, i cant fool you anymore i guess.." She sighs.
"Im not mad, just dont lie, thats all." I think that awkward conversation is over, thank god.
"I will never make you call him dad. Even if me and Rob get married." Okay, that set me off.
"WHAT?!? YOU TWO ARE GETTING MARRIED!?!?!?" I yell angrily. Her eyes widen with surprise.
"Wait, woah, woah! Slow down... We arent getting married! Are you crazy!? We met two days ago!" She says, still shocked i said that. I relax a little.
"Oh thank god! I was gonna say, you promised me you would take it slow. Im also happy you guys didnt, you know.."
"Of course not. We have been taking it kind of slow-" I cut her off.
"What do you mean 'kind of slow'?" I asked. She turns away from eye contact, playing with her fingers.
"Well, yesterday, we, uh...." I cut her off again.
"You what, mom?" She sighs.
"We kissed..." She says quickly to get it over with. I chuckle, kind of like a crazy person.
"Haha, you what!?" I say firmly. She nods. I dont say anything and walk to my room, not looking back, she didnt stop me or say anything either. I plop down on my bed, put my hands over my face and mumble and repeat a lot of words. "Mom, him, kiss, why? Mom, him , kiss, why? Mom, him, kiss, why? Mom, him, kiss, why?" I repeat over and over, not yelling, my voice didnt grow, it was just a broken record of those four words. I finally stopped repeating, rolled over to one of my pillows, and wrapped my arms around it, tight. "WHY?!?!" I then yelled into my pillow, hoping my mom doesnt walk in wondering if i was okay. Because, the truth is, im not. They kissed, and i was furious. I may have meant what i said, but im just going to change it a little, i may get in the way, just a little.
