*Your POV*
I gasp and stay a few seconds like that with tears in my eyes.. she never slapped me.. she never hurt me.. she never even raised her hand at me to punish me in any way.. she always handled things differently and calmly.. what happened to her? She's not my mother anymore. I can't recognize her.. I don't know her..
I look at her.. she looks very disappointed.. like she's regretting it. A tear rolls down my cheek and the next thing I see is how Ethan grabs her arm and pulls her away from me.. he's aggressive.
»Don't you dare to hurt her because of my mistakes..« he says and I can hear how his voice is shaking.. he's angry.. I need to let what she did sink.. for the first time I see him so angry and careless against my mother..
»Don't you even dare to raise your hand in her presence..« I feel so embarrassed.. he's grabbing her wrist and letting her go roughly.. before she can say other things that will embarrass me and make me crazy I pull Ethan's arm and tell him to stop.
Not because I want to protect her.. only because I want to get away from here.. »I don't want to see you ever again.. you're making everything worse..« I say swiping my tears away..
»You are my baby.. how could I let you go?« she asks almost whispering.. I furrow my eyebrows.. »None of this is his fault and you need to understand that.. now go..«
When I say that I see William coming up behind her.. I feel like I can't breathe.. I can't believe my eyes. I'm not ready to see him..
she seems hurt but I don't care..
»You need to listen to me!« she says but I shake my head. »NO! JUST LEAVE!« I scream.. she's doing it all wrong.. why won't she just leave me alone?
I was trying to move on without her and I know it will never happen because she is my mother but she could at least give me some time..
I can't believe that this all happened all of sudden... if someone would've told me that we would be like this a few years ago, I would've laughed..
William comes closer..
»Come.. let us leave her alone.. she needs time..« he says.. well at least he can understand.. that won't make him nether than her.. she gives me a last look and they leave together.. as soon as we can't see them anymore I turn around to Ethan and look at him very disappointed.. showing him that I don't know what to do.. I shrug and laugh but that laughter turns into crying.. he hugs me..
»She can't just do that.. she can't just come and destroy everything again..« I say shaking my head when I back off.. »I didn't even understand what was going on.. I'm so overwhelmed right now..« I admit.. she looks down..
»I'm sorry I should've been more careful..« I swipe my tears away with the back of my hand. »No I'm sorry.. the way she was acting.. oh lord.. look I would've talked to her if she wouldn't have been so crazy!«
I still can't believe that this all happened so fast.. we wanted to leave then she was there and yelled and slapped me and left without saying a word.. I don't understand this and I don't want to understand it because I don't want to break my head over it and I don't want to see her ever again and she knows that.. but it still hurts somehow.. I take a deep breath..
»Okay can we please.. can we act like this did not happen?« he nods. »But we definitely need to change the hotel.« he nods again.
I can see that he feels guilty.. he's trying to show it off but I can see it.. even the way he's standing shows it.. I wrap my arms around his neck..
»None of what she said is true.. don't think about it..« he said she shouldn't hurt me because of his mistakes.. he didn't make any mistakes and I don't want him to feel guilty..
When I feel him holding me I feel better..
»Now let's do this thing, I don't want her to ruin my day.. or my life..«
