Beautiful Marriage

06. Mystery Bride Reveals

Ashley

I pushed my foot out to hold the door then I pushed the door opened and went in. I was expecting to run to my mother in opened arms. She is the person who should have my back no matter what. She is the person who should help me when I am at my weakness.

"Mother you can't shut me out."
I yelled stepping inside. She has rollers in her hair and a red robe wrap around her body. Her face becomes rigid.

"What kind of trouble you have gotten yourself into?" She asked looking at me with a stern expression.

"I'm not in any trouble."

"Every time when you are in trouble you shows up here Ashley. You need to fix your own problems and stop running into my arms every time."

"I'm not running from anything." I defended myself.

I remembered when I get wasted and had a few stars tattoo embedded in my back just above my butt.

"You remember what happen when you were twenty. You -"

"Enough mother. Don't remind me of that. I know I have made mistakes in the past."

Why is she bringing up that old memory. I have long buried that past of mine. I'm not going to say I am a good girl because I know I am not. I have done things that I wished have happened differently. That day is a day I tried to forgot.

"Ashley your all over the news. I'm not that blind that I couldn't recognize my own daughter. I saw your birthmark."

I have totally forgot about the mark on my arm. My face wasn't that visibly but there is other ways to recognize me.

I swallowed " you think I wouldn't know." She said a minute later "you are such a disgrace. You always cause us trouble and I'm not fixing it this time."

"Stop that mom. I have make you proud. I have graduated college. I have done everything your way."

"You think that is how I wanted to know that my daughter is married." She yelled.

"Your an headache Ashley"

"Where is dad?" I asked trying to move away from this conversation.

"He's sleeping" she whispered "don't want to wake him up"

"Ashley you are my daughter. I love you but you can't stay here. You need to fix this mistake you have made."

"I don't know what to do." I was so frustrated right now. I'm confused. My mother was hardly looking at me.

"What's going on with you Ashley? Lisa call earlier asking for you.?" Her tone turned from stone cold to a little bit of concerned. Lisa was so worried about me that she called my mother. God dam it Lisa.

"I don't want to talk about it. It's nothing"

Thinking about it is so painful.

The betrayal of Brianna and Joel is too much.

"Nothing! Oh come on this can't be nothing. You getting drunk flirting and now married.?" She whispered shouted.

"I thought you were with Joel. As much as I hate him." You could heard it in her voice the hate she has for him. The way she says her name make you think it's poison as she scrunched up her face but I cannot get angry at her well not anymore because I am feeling the same amount of hate for him.

"Don't say his name." I spit it didn't sound the way I wanted to. It sounded like I was defending him which I wasn't.

She laughed "always defending him?
