complications...

Chapter 4

I decided to unblock my folks and give my mom a call.

My mom and I weren't close at all, she hardly even remembers my birthday. This always bothered me that ma mom was never really there for me. She didn't  even notice something was different after that man raped me,and to this very day she doesnt even know that it had happened.But at this point in time I did my best to put that hurt aside and try to forget about it.

"Kate so glad you called" she chimmed through the phone.

"Heard you wanted to get in touch with me"

"Yes I do dear, you need to come pay us a visit this weekend"

"Pay who a visit" I almost choked out a laugh.

"Your father and I , we have some things we need to tell you"

" Why can't you just tell me right now"

"Please Kate, come down to the house this weekend" she quickly said before hanging up.

I don't think I had it in me to face that man and my mother. I mean I just started college and believe it or not but it is actually great where I'm at.
Freedom. Just me and ma books and Janae. A place where I can forget about home and all those memories.But a part of me wondered what could my parents possibly have to tell me.

I decided to call up my girl.

We met up at our spot and I filled her in on what my mom told me.

She was silent for a while.

" I think you should go" she softly said.

" ughhhh.. I was hoping you wouldn't say that"

" Really Kate, if you could ignore that man for three whole years after..... You know what... You can manage it for a day.. Just so you can see what is it they have to tell you"

"Plus I know you really wanna know what it is" she quickly added.

And she was indeed right.
