Pierce Your Heart (Jealousy book 3)

Chapter 9 : Family matters, matter.

Kyle

I haven't left my room since I overheard Mandy in the kitchen talking about how my mother is dying and how dad needs to to admit that to himself.

I am hurting.

I can't even imagine how life would be without her here....
I just lost my grandfather. ...
Sure I have my Abuelo on moms side, but...
I also overheard Mandy talking about my mother to Rosa as if she's already dead.

And I was angry.
So I yelled at Mandy, telling her to shut up.

I didnt mean to be rude.

But how could she be talking about my very alive mother as if she's already dead?

I look at the phone on my bed, in front of me, as if it hasn't been there for the past two hours.

I was iffy about calling Mandy up. ..
But I need to know something,

Because, funny enough I heard Abuela talking to mom about this woman....
Her name I don't know.

And I just cant help but think about this woman, like she's a part of my thoughts. Constantly.

I must know who she is.

Walking to the maidswards on the east wing, I open the door to the resting room, where all the maids and butler's and some guards were seated either watching tv, sleeping or playing cards.
Others more serious, watching the cameras on a television set.

"Mandy, I need to speak with you, if I could..."I utter, shyly, knowing I shouldnt be in here at all, by father's orders.

Mandy smiles nervously at me...I think,
And I feel bad for shouting at her today, but...
I guess I should fix it.

Getting up she moves towards me in a slow gait, telling Rosa she'll be back in a second.

I wave to Rosa, offering her a smile.

"Yes Kyle, is something the matter?" She asks, both hands in the pockets of her maids gear.

"I just wanted to apologize for today, I was-"

"No need love, I understand. "She smiles.

I breathe, feeling relief.

"Will that be all? "She asks, seemingly busy.

"I uhh.."I sigh. "I don't know-can we talk outside?"

Her face softens with concern and she nods making her way to the door.

As we get on the outside, she closes the door behind her ans the concern I saw before grew into a cloak over her normal aura.She was full on worried now and I felt bad having changed her mood.

What if I'm just over reacting.

"Yes?" She stresses, wanting to know what was worrying me.

I scratched the back of my head and took a breath.

I wonder if I should?
But if I don't. ..

"Mandy, today when I jeard you talking and I yelled at you-"I pause, as her complexion changes to a paler version of herself. "You spoke about mommy as if she was already dead and I was angry at you for that.But then I remembered hearing grandma Grace talking about this woman, and she said 'kyles mother' and I didnt take it as anything, but she doesnt call mommy 'kyles mother-"

"Kyle, you're being silly dear. "Mandy chuckles.

My face falls ans I can feel my temper growing..
I am vexed.
