Wild Secrets

12 - CONFRONTATION

After finding out that Mrs. Green's my mom, I've decided to make a plan. I'm going to trigger her memories. If she returns, there's a big chance that Martha will return too. I'll have my family back.

Day by day, I ask personal questions to Mrs. Green until I the moment I was very sure that it's her.

"Arthur raised me like her own daughter and then he introduced me to Mikelson" She explained.

As day also passes, we became closer and closer. His son hasn't confronted me about this yet which means he still doesn't know. Why? Mrs. Green should have told this to him days ago but she kept it sealed. Why? I asked myself. I have too many questions and I promised myself, i'll ask all of these to her so my thoughts can now be freed.

Mrs. Green's the same as his son. They're funny and nice in some way but their controlling side's still the dominant. I continued visiting her every lunch and good thing, she got used to it. She never bothered asking me what's my reason.

"I just felt alone, you know? Trust issues" I had told her. I lied actually but she seems to buy it. She pities me and I can see it clearly in her concern face. We mostly exchanged stories but for her, who doesn't have a lot of stories when she was young, she just told stories from what she remembers. We're now actually friends.

"Uhm I have a question"

"What is it?" She said while stacking his newly bought books in the shelf.

"What if someone who's special to you is just inches away but you can't approach her?" I asked.

"Who? Zac?" She let out a giggle. She actually thought i'm doing everything for Zac. She just kept teasing me because she thought I was trying to be close to her so I could get to him.

"No, mom"

When I finished the last word, she accidentally let go of the book in her hand. She looked to me in shock. She was confused that time, I can tell her.

"Because she can't remember you, because she have someone else, because you're just no one to her"

"I-I don't know. What's that all about?"

"I miss my mom so much. I will do anything to get her back" I actually felt a tear on my cheek. I'm starting to cry. She stared at me in confusion. I hope she's actually remembering something but it's useless. She haven't showed signs that she remembers me for the past few days. It like she's torturing me. I'm crying each night, praying that she's back home but no, I'm hanging out here as her student and nothing special. I'm in too much pain and i'm bursting it out in front of her. I really thought she would pity me right now but there she is standing in front of me, looking like she wants to kill my pet dog. Kidding, I don't have a pet.

Suddenly, Zac went in. He was surprised to see me crying in front of her mom. Yeah, her mom. I thought. He then looked to her mom who looks confused but more like angry. I rushed outside but Zac grabbed my hand and dragged me to a place where no one can see us.

"What's that?" He asked angrily. "What did you do to my mom!?" I didn't answer. We're not friends anymore which means he doesn't have the right to know everything and then I thought, no one in my friends here deserves to know what's my business with her. I'm lying everything, might as well keep everything a secret.

"Answer me!" Suddenly, I felt his hand in my shoulder. He pushed me to the wall. His push was so hard that I actually bump my head and everything started to ache. "Stop acting! Just answer my freaking question! What are you doing every lunch in mom's office?!" He's so mad. What's his problem? Jealous that I might steal his mom from him? I felt upset too when he actually thought that I was just acting the pain from the bump. Didn't he hear the thud sound!? My back started to sting.

"Why do you care? You're nobody!"

"Yeah! Nobody! Everyone for you seems to be a nobody. You telling us you have a boyfriend. Wait. You never did!" He said with a sarcastic tone. I felt speechless. He's right. The only time I had the guts to tell that kind of stuff is when he's trying to ask me to be his girlfriend.

"You're just one sneaky, liar-" He said.

"Watch your words" I cut him.

"At least i'm telling you everything!" He said. I had the guts to push him.

"See? Not so strong now with words are you?" He said.

"What happened to you?" I actually calm down because the sting feeling had gone.

"You happened to me! I love you, I trusted you but you lied to me"

I had to. It's the only way to stay.

"I had to" These are the only words that came out from my mouth.

"Why?"

"It's none of your business" I said.

"I missed you" He began to calm down.

I suddenly thought, if we became friends again, Mary would spill everything. He should stay angry at me. I had to make a plan to make him angry again.

"I don't want to talk about it" I added.

"I will make it better, just tell me" No, please get mad and you'll make it better.

"The only way you can make it all better is if you stay away. I like you but you need to stay away!" I let out a force in my voice.

"Why?"

"We just can't be. There's no us!" I ran away. I had to or else he'll return to his old self again. I didn't have any plans at the moment.

Does he still likes me?
