Healing The Desolated Heart

Val's Pov

I couldn't believe what I just heard. She can't possibly...

But she did

She cheated

She wasn't the mother I thought I knew

"W-who are you" I questioned, crying to myself in pure frustration and agony

I'm the product of my mother's dirty secret, and my existence is probably a pain to my father's everyday life

"What the hell am I doing here? Why should I even exist?" I wiped my tears away.

All I wanted now was a soft embrace from someone I love. I want someone to hold me dearly and tell me how much I'm worth it, and to be told one more time that I'm a blessing and a miracle

Because I needed reassurance that everything will be fine

That used to be my mom

She used to be the person who can give me the soft embraces I needed. She used to be the person who will hold you dearly and tell you that your worth it

But kowing the untold truth about my parents dark secret... I don't know if I can still look at my mom and dad the same way before

And that's when I knew I had to make a life changing desicion that will end up worse than I even thought it could

-

"What do you mean your not going?!" My dad, the fake one, scolded me "I'm not going to her funeral" I told him, dad crossed his arms and glared, his face fuming with anger. I'm not even sure if he deserves to be called dad or not

"You aren't paying respects to your own mother!" he yelled once more, I flinched at the the sound of 'mother'. But I didn't show it to my Dad, instead I stared at him dead in the eyes with nothing but the pain I have been trying to hold

He stressfully tugged his own hair in shock at my sudden selfish actions before saying "I know you're having a tough time right now, but all of this is too much. We're gonna have a serious talk later young lady"

I rushed upstairs to my bedroom, not minding the guests inside my house. I slammed the door shut before jumping on my bed, frustrated and shocked at my sudden actions.

I know I'm being difficult. I know I'm being childish. I know I'm being selfish, but I didn't know what to think and do anymore

I always thought that Mom was a caring and wonderful woman with a pure soul who loved my father with all her heart and might.

They told me all their clichè love stories about how they met. They told me that I was made out of their pure and honest love. They were the perfect couple anyone could ever imagine

But all of those wonderful stories interprets lies. I was the idiot who believed in those stories because what I thought I knew was a beautiful truth, but no, it turned out to be a shadow covering the horrible image of the real world, blinding my sight when it was just one step away

The fact that my father isn't really my father changes the way I thought my parents were

And the fact that I'm running away right now changes everything

I wanted to go to someone who won't bother me, not care about me, not even ask what I'm dealing with. Because having someone that knows about your hardships is the most hardest thing I could ever do. I'm not ready to show them what kind of monster I have inside

Ethan

The first person that came to my mind. And the only person who fits my description

I opened my phone to call him, wishing he would understand- probably not. It took him four rings to finally answer

"What do you want, Val" He asked in a monotone voice. Why did his voice sounded like he cared when we were at the hospital, maybe it was just the sudden mix of my emotions

"Can I come over? Now?" I asked hoping that he wouldn't throw me away

"Why?"

"Problems at home"

"You can't bring your problems here"

"I won't. Please... just let me come over"

"No" Ethan was about to hung up when his sister, Joy, I assumed snatched his phone

"Of course you can come over sweet pea" she giggled. That same giggle reminded me of Quinn and it made me forget all my anxiety that's been choking me all day

"Shouldn't I be the one calling you sweet pea?" I asked as a smile formed in my lips

"That's what my brother calls me but I can make an exception for you" She told me "anyways I'll tell you the address and I hope we can meet soon" she ended the call when I she heard Ethan telling her that it was a bad idea and how much of a boring person I am
