Chapter 21 - Kathy's Mother

Kathy

After the talk with Nat, I got back to class.

I didn't pay attention in class. My mind was preoccupied. I kept thinking of him. I would forgive him if he says 'sorry'. I would take him back if he wanted to get back together.

I kept thinking what would happen to me.

A month with him really changed me. I got used of him hanging out with me everyday. I got used of him accompanying me to the lockers. Got used of him walking me around the school. Used to eating lunch with him. Having dates with him in which my father doesn't approve. I don't know why but he doesn't like Erick. He always gives shim the cold shoulder. I know he's just being the 'protective father' because he is my first ever boyfriend but he would always glare at him when we are having dinner when he didn't even do anything. I already told my dad that he's an okay guy but he never gave me the approval.

I got used of him giving me soft butterfly kisses on my lips when our date would end. I got used of him being with me.

What would happen to me now that he's not with me anymore?

I was too caught up with my thoughts that I didn't even realize that my teacher has been trying to get my attention.

"Ms. Martinez!" My teacher, whom I don't remember the name, shouted. Bringing me back to reality.

All my classmates' eyes are on mine.

"Hmm?" I murmured standing up.

"Are you paying attention?" She asked. I was about to reply but she continued. "Obviously you aren't."

"I'm sorry ma'am. Just thinking of something." I told her.

"Well then think about it later and pay attention." She said strictly.

I looked to my left and saw Keith give me a small smile. I smiled weakly and slumped back down on my seat.

When the period ended, I quickly stood up and walked out of the room. I just want to go home and cry myself to sleep.

"Hey," I heard a familiar voice. I turned and Keith. "You okay?"

I just nodded.

"Come on. I'll give you a ride home." He wrapping an arm around my shoulder as we made our way to the parking lot.

When we arrived at my house, I thanked him for the ride and got out of the without waiting for a reply.

"Mom, I'm home!" I shouted.

"Honey, I'm in the kitchen." She also shouted.

"Hi mom," I said quietly. Kissing her on the cheek. "I'm going to my room."

"Honey what's wrong?" She asked. I didn't want her to worry so I just said nothing. "Don't go and tell me it's 'nothing'. I'm your mother and I know when something's up."

I sighed. "Erick and I broke up." I said quietly.

"Oh honey...." She said holding out her arms.

And for the third for today, I broke down. We wrapped our arms around each other tightly. I cried on her shoulder.

"Honey," she said softly. "Tell me what happened."

So I told her. And when I was done, she was just quiet. I was afraid that she would be angry at me for being so stupid to fall for it. But it was the opposite.

She hugged me tighter and told me that it was okay. That it was going to be okay. Everything's gonna be fine. That I'll move on and forget about him.

The problem is I don't know if I will.

"It's okay, honey. It's going to be okay. Everything's gonna be fine." I assured her but it's more like assuring myself too. "You'll move on."

She was just like me.

I was also played when I was in collage. He was a player and I thought he changed for me but it was just a game for him.

I cried and cried and cried to the point where I wanted to die already. I was already tempted to suicide but Peter came into my life and changed me.

At first I thought he was just like him. Going to play my heart and just leave me in the end but he wasn't. He never gave up on me. Even when I was already pushing him away, he didn't. He stayed by my side.

Because of him, I learned to move on and forgive.

It's alright.

But watch out for tomorrow you bastard.
