Hate That I Love You

Chapter Thirty One.

That was the last thing I ever said to my mom.

Before I took the gun out of my pants, and shot her, right through the heart. Payback for breaking my heart over and over again ever since the night my parents supposedly died.

Hahah just kidding, I’m not that mad.

Wait, yeah I am.

Ok so this time I let it slip, the actions that usually appear before what I had imagined happening, happened.

I let these thoughts stay way, way back in my mind.

“Pia?”

“Mom?”

Justin’s POV

I watched between them both, I was confused and by the look of Pia’s she was too.

When she said the word ‘Mom’ my heart broke for her, I can only begin to imagine what she was feeling right now. But I had a clue when she let the tears fall and her fists turned into balls. She was angry, she let the anger overpower her sadness. Something she seems to do a lot.

“Please, let me see explain everything” Her mom pleaded, her hand about to be placed on Pia’s arm but Pia took a step before she could and shook her head, turned around and stormed away.

Pia’s POV

My mom is alive. After nine years of thinking her dad were both dead. That’s when I stopped walking and held the chain in my hand, Dad’s chain. I wore ever since the day I got it. It was the only thing that wasn’t cremated, that and mom’s rings which I wore on the chain until they fit and wore them both on my right hand and never took them off.

Is dad still alive?

There’s no way I’m turning around and facing her again to ask, I don’t think I could handle that right now.

I feel Justin take my hand in his after eventually catching up with me, he weakly smiled “Come on, lets get home” I nodded, and made my feet walk again along with Justin.

“I told your mom to meet us here after her shift, she finishes at seven” I grip Justin’s hand tighter but don’t say anything.

When we’re almost back to our cabin, I stopped before taking the bridge across the water to the front door. Justin stops too and looks at me “Do I tell Jason?” I ask, my voice croaky from the tears that didn’t stop until we got back.

He places the bags on the floor and stands in front of me, holding me so tight I feel the same I always do. Safety, love…like I’m home again. I break down again, my whole body shaking from the tears.

Justin doesn’t say a word but continues to hold me close, gently stroking my back.

“I think you should tell him, to save him the shock that you got” Justin finally tells me, after I had quietened down a bit. I nod against his chest, not wanting to face the word from the safety of Justin’s arms just yet.

But when his arms get looser, I know I have to. He looks at me and kisses me on the forehead, I close my eyes and take a step back once he’s pulled away “I know you can do this, you’re strong baby” Justis tells me, holding my face with his hands.

I nod again, and take his hand in mine. He picks up the bags and we walk along the bridge, and to the front door. I take a few breaths before entering, even though anyone inside can see we’re there. The whole outside is just glass.

Then I realise everyone’s at the beach and look at Justin, obviously seeing the confusion on my face he smiles “I told them to come back” Right.
