Controlla (Mateo Bowles, psychotic?)

Chapter 25

Sorry guys I wasn't really feeling Kayla being in the hospital so time skip >>>>

Kayla POV

Its been two weeks since I got out the hospital. Derek hasn't tried to hurt me, maybe cause he's sorry for me but Adria has been acting weird. She's been singing weird songs and talking to herself. Its kinda scaring me. I mean I know kids have imaginary friends, but she calls him Tator.

"Adria baby what are you doing," I asked walking into her room.

"Playing," she responded as she changed her doll's dress.

"Can mommy talk to you?" I asked.

"Yesh," she said not taking her eyes off the doll.

Mateo POV

I know I don't usually go into the house but I missed Adria. I had last seen her on Sunday when I went to talk to Fade. (Today is Friday)

Flashback

"What the hell is wrong with you!" I yelled shoving him against a wall.

"Get the fuck out of my face!" He shouted pushing me off.

"Leave them alone," I stated sternly.

"Oh no that can't happen. I said I would get my revenge and I meant it." He growled.

"I'm dead isn't that good enough for ya?!" I shouted.

"No. Now I want you to watch her suffer from that abusive man she's with for the rest of her life!"

"I'll kill him." I said.

"You know you can't bring yourself to do that. Plus if you do...I'll kill Adria."

My heart dropped. Imagine Kayla's daughter dying because of me. My bullshit. "Why can't you just leave them out of this?!"

"Cause clearly Mateo, they're the only things you care about."

Flashback over

I sat in the corner of the room watching her play with her dolls. She knew I was there. She could sense it, and she was talking to me. Even though she couldn't see me.

When Kayla came in I felt many emotions. Sadness cause she looks so unhappy now. I wished I could give her the world. Happy because this is the closest I've ever been to her since my death. Angry because Derek treats her so bad and cause I can't hold her anymore. I'm just...I don't even know.

"Who is the person you've been talking to lately?" Kayla asked casually while helping change the dolls clothes.

"Who? Tator?" Adria asked. My hands began to sweat as she said my name. I told her she can call me that but she doesn't know Kayla used to call me that too.

"Yes, who is that?" Kayla questioned.

"My friend," Adria quickly responded.

"Well how were you talking to him?" Kayla asked.

"With my mouth?" Adria responded confused.

"Okay, what does he look like?" Kayla asked.

Adria POV

I know that Teo doesn't want my mommy to know I know who he is. But he says he misses her. And he says that they loved each other. I had to do it. For Tator.

"He has an afro and big lips." I giggled. "He's light skin with brown eyes and he wears his pants backwards." I continued. I never looked my mom in the eye but I could see her mouth slightly opened in astonishment.

"What's his real name?!" She gasped.

"Mateo," I spoke. I looked over where Mateo was sitting and he had stopped being invisible. He stared at me in fear. Then he turned to my mom.

"Is he, still, still here," my mom stuttered.

"Over there," I pointed at the corner he was in. He looked at me and his eyes began to water.

My mom had her head down every since I said Tator. And when she looked up. She stared at the corner. Her eyes filled with tears and she ran into Mateo's arms. They both cried silently while hugging. And I sat on the floor playing with my dolls.
