Let it Go (Sequel to My Bestfriend's Dad)

Chapter 14 *Arguments*

Get ready for this little adventure as the story takes a big twist.

-

I control back my tears blinking twice, probably more than twice. I scan his crystal blue eyes trying to find sense in his words, he wasn't bluffing. Dereck was going to take away my son. He couldn't do this to me, he takes away Max and I will die. Max, is everything to me. 

Dereck is being selfish, he's not even thinking about the sake of Max, he can't take him away from me. "Don't test me, I will do it." He says angrily, I bite my bottom  lip controlling the urge to break down. I stay quiet for the longest time looking over Dereck's side, admiring how happy my son was with his friend.

My little angel, he couldn't be taken away from me, we both needed each other. My shoulders begin to sag, I take a seat controlling the profound sadness that washed over my body. I placed my hand on my forehead as if I was ready to faint. I begin to feel light headed, hot and nervous. I try getting up from my seat but fail to do so. "Mommy," Max comes to my side hugging my stomach. 

I wrap both of my hands pulling him closer to me, the need to break down as I thought the words Dereck said make me cringe. "Mommy, it's time for you to go ! I have class in a few minutes." He says excitedly. I force out a smile trying to get up from the chair, I feel weak everything spinning.

Everything circles my eyes as if I were hallucinating, I don't notice anything happening. "Paige!" I faintly hear before I fall on the floor loosing conscience. 

-

I smell something through my nose, but I don't recognize the smell. It comes strong again, I wince to the side. "Is mommy dead?" I hear a low childish voice ask. Mommy? Was that max? I find myself too weak to open my eyes. I feel little soft hands on my cheek. "Mommy, wake up please." My son pleaded. 

With his last words I surpassed my weakness opening my eyes slowly. As soon, as I open my eyes I see Max's tears flooding in his face. I wipe them away with my fingers. "I'm okay," I weakly say. I try rising from the floor  sustaining my body on the chair next to me. I look at everyone around me wondering what on earth happened  to. I ignore the stares, sit on the chair hugging my baby.

"Alright ladies, and gentlemen; start saying goodbye to your sons and daughters because class will start in ten minutes." The teacher announces clapping both of her hands together walking to her desk. I see the little children hugging and kissing their parents.

"Mommy you okay?" Max asks a again through a worried look.

I look over at him then, to my shoulder watching Dereck eye me and my son. "Yes, Max I'm okay. I'm just tired, that's all. I'll come pick you up a little later okay? I love you." I say with a dry mouth worried about what Dereck said to me earlier. I was afraid Dereck really might do it. 

"I love you too mommy. Bye." She says waving at me walking over to Dereck to hug him and say his goodbyes. He sits on his little desk ready to learn he starts laughing.

I look at hi once again before walking out of the classroom. My eyes begin to sting, just like before tears start to fight their way to my eyes but, I quickly close my eyes running my thumb through the edges of my eyes. I turn to the corner walking out the main door, I cross the street to my car. 

I slowly open the door but, before I realize the door is being shit hard with another hand. I turn my head finding Dereck the one closing the door. I look at him not knowing what to say or what to do. I decide to stay quiet since I know nothing will help my case. I decide not to taunt myself any further but deep inside I was hopeless. Like, the life was sucked out of me and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I tug my hair behind my ear, looking down to my side and back to Dereck's gaze.
