The Beauty Of Love {Editing}

Chapter 17

"Hello darling." She said with a smile.

She's sober? Maybe she's just here for a bit then will leave for more business trips. 

A man came up behind her putting a strong hand on her shoulder. I looked at the tall buff man. He wasn't so buff, just enough to show.

"You must be Sapphire!" He said with bright smile coming closer to me. His arms were out to hug me.

"And who are you?" I asked taking a step back.

"I'm Roger." He put a hand out for me to shake instead.

I looked at his hand then back to his face. He's quite handsome.

"Sapphire." My mum walked next to him and pulling his hand down. 

"Just tell me why you are here." I said sternly.

"To..... apologize." She said softly, her smile slightly fading.

"Don't you think its a little late for that?" I growled.

I felt a tug on my tail. Wait? My tail? I looked behind me to see my tail was out. Alex tugged my tail, her eyes went to the top of my head. Guess my ears are out as well.

I let out a sigh too mad to put them away. I looked back at my mum.

Roger stepped forward, "Yeah your mother fucked up. But give her a chance at least."

"I did. Too many to count. She's out of chances." I growled at him.

"Your mother wants to change. But she needs you to help her and support her." He said calmly.

"Support her!?! Really!?! Why should I support her when she never supported me? All I got for support was bruises and cuts!" I said getting into his face.

I knew Alex was tugging my tail to tell me to calm down but I ignored it. I was too mad at this random bastard.

"And she feels bad! She's sorry for what she's done!"

"She didn't just hurt me she also hurt my dog. Which was all I had! And no body gets away with hurting my dog but she did. Because she overpowered me with her abuse and words." I said in a dangerous whisper, "I bet she was the reason my dad left." I spat loud enough so my mum could hear.

His eyes softened a pulled me into an embrace.

"Get your filthy hands o-"

"I left because I had to." He said softly.
