CODE RED (Book 1)

Alive Pt 2

My mother pulled away from me and ran her hand along side my hair with a grateful smile gracing her lips as she stared down at me. But then it disappeared as her eyes teared up, she continued to look at me. Gareki...I had no idea- why didn't you tell me?!

My eyebrows furrowed knowing that she knew what I had been going threw all week thanks to some one telling her this. Who told you?

My mother turned to Alex. He did. And the police shared some info to. She turned back to me. I wish you had told me what he was doing to you a lot sooner! Why did you keep this from me?

I thought you wouldn't believe me. I muttered looking up at the sealing. You were always loyal to him, a lot more then most.

I averted my eyes back to hers.

She shook her head. I would have definitely left that man sooner for what he's done to you. I'm sorry I was never there to help you.

It's not all your fault. I admitted. I should have showed you what he had done to me but there was always something holding me back from doing that.

What? She asked.

That he wanted to kill me and then you If I told anyone he was abusing me. I wanted to protect you so I...delt with the pain and tried to hide it but I wasn't able to for long since Alex had seen something I had been hideing.

Alex smiled at me slightly as I said this.

My mother looked concerned. I raising my wrist and showed her the remains of the blade that I had used to graze my skin a few nights after I had seen my dad in the car with another women having sex.

You did this? She asked surprised.

He was cheating on you with other women at night clubs which explains why he never came back that night you asked me where he was. I explained further.

Is this how it all started then? She asked me now piecing together everything.

I nodded.

Why? She asked me her voice was in a shocked whisper.

I looked away from her to look as Alex as I said my next choice of words. I couldn't help it, once I saw him with that women something in me snapped. I was disgusted and I felt...uncomfortable and that pushed me to cut myself and doing that I distanced myself from people ever since my first year of high school.

When did you see your father have sex with that women? She asked me.

For the very first time it was a while ago, in the summer of my 8th grade year in middle school. This whole time my dad up until now had been having sex with other women besides you.

Alex's eyes widened as I continued to look at him and say what I had to say.

My mother looked pained but then her face turned to it's regular expression. A small smile was on her lips. If I knew he was such a terrible man I would have left him sooner, I can't entirely act like this doesn't bother me but I'll get over it the best I can. she smiled bigger at me before leaning forward and kissing me on my forehead again.

I'll be back okay. She said to me before turning and leaving. Have fun with your friends. She closed the door behind her and was gone.

I watched after her. No doubt she went off to cry in private. Do you think she'll be okay?

Alex walked over to me and pulled out a chair from a near mini table and sat down in it. She's heard a lot about you today but I'm sure she'll be fine. Possible.

I stared at him for a moment and he stared back at me

Both Nai and D.C found chairs themselves and sat down beside the bed I was in.
