A boy named Blaze

Chapter 23

Matthew

I walked downstairs and went up to my mom. After I heard her cry I went upstairs and hid in my room, not sure what to do. I was so sure my mom didn't care about my dad, she just liked him money. I mean why else would someone cheat. Then she was crying and I felt so bad, she never cries, so I didn't tell my dad. I was planning on it, as soon as he got home I was gonna talk to him about it. Now I didn't have the heart to, but that doesn't mean I will let her cheat.

"Mom," I said, rather reluctantly. "Yes," she responded snobbishly while not looking at me. "I wont tell dad," I sighed. "If your expecting for me to say thank you, I will do anything, then you are wrong," she said again while glaring at me. She had he makeup fixed and looked all perfect again. For a moment it was hard to believe that I really just saw her crying her eyes out.

"Just thought I would let you know," I said, trying not to get angry. She had to be all stuck up and pretend like she didn't care. Maybe I should just tell Dad, I mean maybe she was crying cause something else. They way she is acting now it doesn't sound like she is grateful at all that I am gonna keep this our little secret. I sighed and went back upstairs and into the gym.

I needed to work out, she was driving me insane. I stripped off my shirt and plugged my iPod into my dock, letting the music take over my mind. Then I hoped onto the machines and tried to forget the world. Maybe I should get a punching bag, that's what I don't have cause I'm not a violent person but it might help me take out my anger.

I ran my hand threw my now sweaty hair and let out a long sigh. Should I tell my dad? I guess he deserves to know but it seemed like she really cared before. Now I just don't know, guess i don'tknow anything anymore. I was getting really sweaty from my workout but had extra energy. I went back into my room and slipped into my swim trunks, then crossed the hall towards my pool.

The water was nice and cold against my over heating body and I pushed off the side of the pool, starting to do laps. I love to workout and swimming is a nice way of working out. I let my angry mind drift towards Tara.I wounder what she is doing right now, maybe texting Ailyn or something, she's so hard to predict but thats what I love about her.

I smile and push off the side of the pool again as I did my laps. I don't know how long I did laps but my body started to hurt so I stood up and walked over towards the hot tubs. Nothing better for aching muscles then a nice hot tub. I turned on the jets and let the water wash around my body and I learnt my head back and relaxed. I still have no idea what I'm going to do about my stuck up mother.

I got out of the hot tub and wrapped a fluffy white towel around my soaking wet body as I walked to my room. I slipped into a pair of sweat pants and checked my cell. Thats weird, I have a miss call from Angela, as well as I have a missed call from Tara. Roughly around the same time to. Huh, I grabbed my phone and pressed the call button and called Tara first.

"Hey babygirl," I said to her as she picked up the phone. "Hey baby," she replied. She had a hint ofexcitement to her voice which made me smile. "Hey did Angela call you," she asked me, making me frown. "Um yeah, why," I asked slowly. "Cause she is saying this bullshit lie about me and she said she is gonna tell you and I wanted to talk to you first and tell you it's not true," she repliedquickly and she sounded honest.

Truthfully I don't know if I should ever trust Angela, she has screwed me over once and chances are she would say shit about Tara because she is getting all the attention. Yet some small voice in the back of my mind told me that Tara is just like Angela and would screw me over to. I told it to shut up though, Tara was different, she already turned down Ashton.
