Forbidden Love • Peter Hale

II // Betrayed

When we arrive at home, a car is parked in front of the house. I frown.

"Mom's home." Scott states, getting off his motorcycle.

I get of his motorcycle too and take my helmet off. I bite my lip as tears pop up in my eyes. Memories flood into my mind.

"What's wrong?" Scott asks, causing my attention to snap back to him.

I look at his worried expression. My breath hitches and I lick my lips. My mouth suddenly as dry as the Sahara, unable to speak. I look everywhere, except in Scott's eyes.

Scott places his hand on my arm. "Luna?" His eyes scanning mine for an answer.

"What if she doesn't want to see me?" I ask shrugging.

"Who?" Scott asks frowing.

"Mom" I say, tears rolling down my cheek.

Scott smiles compassionate. "She wants to see you, believe me."

I nod and sigh. Scott wipes my tears away and pulls me into a hug. "Let's go inside" He says.

I follow Scott inside, slowing down as he walks into the living room. I hear his voice. "Hey, mom. I brought someone with me."

I walk in and watch my mom's reaction as she sees me. Her smile widens and she stands up. "Luna!" She pulls me into a tight hug.

Everything I worried about before, is gone in a matter of seconds. The feeling of my mom's arms around me, is something I haven't felt for 10 years. "Mom.." I say, tears of happiness streaming down my face.

She pulls back and takes my face. She's crying too. "Wow, you've become such a pretty woman. My little girl.." She says smiling.

I smile back and hug her again. "I missed you so much, mom"

"I know, I missed you too honey." She says while pulling back.

"Why didn't you come to visit me?" I can't help the words falling from my lips. It has just been too long and that question kept me wondering for 10 years.

"Raf didn't want us to." She sighs.

I widen my eyes. "Dad-... " I swallow, repeating her words in my head. 'Raf didn't want us to'. "Dad didn't want to?" My underlip starts to tremble. I can't believe he would do that. And then saying he misses them too. Yeah right.

Melissa shakes her head. "No, but we wanted. We wanted it so badly."

"Why didn't Dad want you to visit?" I ask with wide eyes.

"He was still mad at me for telling him to leave" She swallows. "And that's why he kept me and even kept Scott from seeing you."

I sit down on the couch. Devastated. Wondering how my dad, the most important man in my life, could do something terrible like that.

"Luna?" Scott asks carefully, as he sits down next to me. He places a hand on my arm.

I look into his eyes. "How could he do that..." I say quietly. "He lied. He lied to me! Why would he keep you guys away from me and then say he misses you?!" I shout crying. Scott wraps his arms around me and pulls me into his chest.

"Shh.. It's okay." Scott says softly, kissing my head.

I fist his shirt, crying against him. "I hate him! I hate him!" I scream.

"I won't say I don't agree with you" Mom says, rubbing my back soothingly.

I pull back and swallow. "I-I need some time for myself to.."

Scott nods. "I understand, Luna." He says and smiles slighty. "Take as long as you need." 

I stand up and head upstairs. I make my way into my room and lay down on the pink bed. Tears stream down my face. I trusted him. I told him everything. I felt betrayed. I cry, for what feels like hours. I try to push my father out of my head. I try to let my thoughts drift to something else, someone else, as I fall asleep.
