Meeting My Love

Chap 27

Sherri P.O.V

Everyone looked at Teri and I when we walked in the livingroom.

Greta was the first to say something. "Sherri nice to see you again. I see your still going threw your sinful phase."

I rolled my eyes but smiled none the less. "Sister Greta nice to see you to."

She frowned at Teri. "And whose this your friend?"

"Actually Sister Greta this is my girlfriend Teri-"

She cut me off. "Girlfriend? Diane, I thought you told me you would teach this girl the bible!"

"The bible? Sister Greta I go to church more than you do. Every Sunday your at Bingo so." I spoke before I could catch myself.

My mom spoke up. "Sherri. Honey don't be disrespectful."

Is she really taking this ladies side over her daughter's right now? "Mom are you serious? This is why I stayed away you realize that right?"

Teri squeezed my hand. I knew she wanted me to calm down but she should have squeezed my hand like 5 minutes ago.

Greta pulled out a bottle of holy oil. "Sherri come here-"

"Greta you put holy oil on me and it will be the last thing you do. Bible? I know my Bible. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 1 John 4:16." I quoted.

She rolled her eyes. "Ahh but Sherri, Ephesians 5:25-26 states Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word." Greta quoted only because it said husbands in it.

My mom cut in. "Sherri we only say this because we love you."

"Didn't you teach me growing up that love has to be sincere mother? But you continue to set me up for failure! Your not sincere at all. So let's make this easier on everyone here. Say how you feel. You can either love me or hate me." I challenged.

My mother stood up and looked between Greta and I. Greta stared at my mother intently. "Sherri I'm sorry. But I can't love a sin."

I think Teri felt my anger and pain at the same time, because she pulled me back towards my room. My eyes filled with unshed tears. When we got to my room she walked me in there. "Who does that Teri? Who calls they're own daughter a sin?"

Teri just pulled me into a hug. "I'm so sorry Sherri." I didn't dare let a tear fall. I have never opened up about my mother and I don't plan on doing it right now.

"Can we go? I don't want to be here anymore."

She nodded. "Yeah wheres Kaitlyn?"

"I'll go get her. Go start the car. I'll meet you."

She gave me an unsure look. "I can come with you."

"It won't take long." I kissed her. "Go."

She nodded and walked towards the front door. I walked towards Brianna's door and walked in her room. She looked at me. "What happened?"

I shrugged. "Nothing unexpected." The tear I wouldn't let go came flowing down.

Kaitlyn stood up from playing Brianna's game. I wiped the tear a second to late. She was smiling and when she looked at me her smile dropped. "Mom who do I need to read?"

I chuckled but it was so forced, I didn't know what to do. "No one. Go get in the car while I talk to your Aunt. Be there in 5."

Kaitlyn nodded and walked out the room. Brianna stood up from sitting on her couch. She hugged me. "Sherri what happened?"

"She took Greta's side. And actually told me to my face that she couldn't love a sin. A sin Bri! She called her own daughter a sin!"

Brianna shook her head and released me from the hug. "Greta just has this pull on her Sherri. But that doesn't mean lock it all up and hide it away until you break and blow up. Let it out. Because you and I both know that you want to cry right now."

"Bri. This is my thing. Holding it in. Espically when I know that if I let it go, all that's going to be there is anger."

We walked out the house threw the front. I was glad the livingroom wasn't near the front door. I stood by my car.

Brianna spoke. "You know I'm here right?"

I smiled a small smile. "Of course. Call you later?"

She hugged me one last time before nodding. "You better."

I got in the passenger side of the car and it seemed as though they were waiting to see if I was crying.

I put on my seat belt as Teri started the car.

I spoke. "Did you want me to drive? I didn't even consult you."

She shook her head. "Umm no. I think I have it. I was paying attention on the way here."

I nodded and grabbed her hand. It was the only thing helping me not cry right now.

Kaitlyn was quiet and when I looked back I saw that she was sleeping. It was 9 pm.

When we made it home I offered to get Kaitlyn but Teri had already grabbed her so I locked the car and got Kaitlyn's stuff and my phone.

I really just wanted to shower. To let these tears go for once. Holding it in has been such a burden to be honest.

So I did just that. I got into the shower after making sure that Kaitlyn was sleep.

I got into the shower and I wasn't even more than a minute in before I was balling. Tears after tears and blurred vision followed. And as much as I wish the tears would just have stopped it's like they were tears from the pain I've felt from all the years.

Someone grabbed me and pulled me into a hug and I realized that it was Teri. I hugged her back and just kept crying.

She was running her hand threw my hair. "Just let it out Sher."

Gosh I wish she hadn't said that because the tears just had a free for all. I couldn't stop them now. Because these tears were pain filled. Pain I wish I wouldn't have had to endure.

Pain that's been locked up so long, I had forgot that it was even there. I realized that Teri was still dressed. I laughed threw the tears. "You realize that your still dressed right?"

"Well I kind of didn't care. When I heard you crying it didn't matter. Had to make sure you were all right." She answered.

I wiped some tears and hugged her tighter and all I could do was mutter a simple "Thank you."
