Meeting you ~ Simon Dominic

Chapter Sixteen

Fast forward

Today is the day before the rap battle and I must say that I'm pretty nervous, especially because I know that Lea is going to be there and I really don't want to see her at the moment but I know that Simon is going to be there so that strangely gives me comfort I don't know what it is about him but I feel really comfortable when I'm around him, I feel like I can tell him everything like when I told him about my mother.

 He was really comforting and didn't interrupt me when I was telling him what happened to her.

Flashback to when they were at the Ice-cream parlor.

'How did your mom die? If you don't mind me asking'

That was the time when everything stopped, should I really tell him what happened to my mom?

The only people that know what happened to her and how much it damaged me mentally and physically were Lea and my homeroom teacher not even my dad knows how hard it was on me. Do I really trust him so much that I would tell him what happened?

Yes, I do.

'My mom died when I was 16 years old, it was all my fault.

Flashback to memory.

When I was younger my mom always wanted me to take singing lessons because she thought that I had a really extraordinary voice and that I could become famous if I got some lessons on how I could use my voice more and use the power from my voice to capture every once hearts' that's what she would always tell me every single time she drove me to classes.

I went for about 2 weeks and I hated it there. I could never do what I wanted but my mom never knew one thing. That my love for singing was not what I dreamed about but my dream was to rap. 

I found a place where I could practice rapping that was near the singing place, and that was where I met Lea, she was actually the one that helped me get a spot in the rapping studio because her father owned the place.

But one day when I thought my mom was long gone I was about to walk to Lea's dad's studio I heard my mom screaming

'Hani what in the world are you doing?'

'Why aren't you going to classes, your teacher called me yesterday telling me that you haven't been coming to class'

but then Lea came screaming 'Hey Hani are you ready to rap, come on I'll wait for you' and ran inside.

That's when I looked at my mom who had a shocked expression on her face and said 'Rapping? That is what you have been doing?' she said almost in disbelieve 'I told you that you couldn't rap, and you do it behind my back? All this money that I put in those singing lessons and you just throw them away?' she asked first in disbelieve but then she ended up screaming.

Before I could say anything, she took my arm and threw me in the car and started to drive. I really wanted to say something, but no words came out of my mouth.

After 10 minutes of driving I finally found the courage to say. 'I want to rap' I said, trying not to make my voice waver, she didn't say anything so I said it again a little louder 'Mom I want to r..' she cut me of my raising her voice 'Well you can't, can't you understand that, I won't let my only daughter become some kind of white trash I just won't' she said. 

That is not what I expected her to say, what she said hurt me because she doesn't know how much I love rapping 'But mom I don't want to become a singer, I want to be a rap..' she cut me off again and this time she turned her body to face me and I could see the angry expression on her face.

She was about to say something but at that moment everything went black.

When I woke up I could see that I was in the hospital, the doctors told me that a delivery truck had crashed the side of the car, the side that my mother was sitting in, and that was when I started freaking out and started asking where my mom was, was she okay.

Then I heard the words that almost ruined my life.

'I'm sorry but your mom didn't make it'

End of Memory.

The look on his face when I finish telling him how my mom died was impossible to read, it was like there were so many emotions in his eyes and I had no idea what to do.

He then put his thumbs under my eyes at first, I had no idea what he was doing but when I saw that he was wiping my tears away, I knew that I was crying, it has been a while that I cried because of my mom, but after I figured I had been crying without knowing about it I broke down.

That is when Simon did the thing that he has been doing a lot recently he grabbed my shoulders and pulled me into a hug and I stayed there for a good five minutes until it was time to go back to his place.

End of Flashback.

Now it's the night before the battle and I was preparing myself mentally so that I wouldn't freak out as much, so I decided that I would go to sleep early so that I won't be tired in the morning, I started to get ready for bed.

I laid in my bed and the only thing I could think about was the competition and I was telling myself that everything will be okay and that I will try to win for the woman that I loved the most in the world, even though she didn't like rapping I'm going to win for her, I'm going to win for my mother.
