confronting mom

Lasercorn's pov

I came into the office early today. I had hoped I could get a chance to talk to Joven. I was a little mad when he agreed with my mother last night. I won't deny he has gotten better but also I know she had nothing to do with that. She was a manipulative bitch. Doesn't care about anyone but herself.

Everyone started piling into the office but no Joven. Wes starts talking to Mari about Joven "he came in last night and went straight to bed. Then he was having nightmares all night. He was mumbling in his sleep about being left. He just kept saying him. When I asked joven He just lied and brushed it off. But I wish there was a way I could help him"

Mari tells Wes "best thing we can do is be there for him. That is strange though. He hasn't had a nightmare in a while. Why did they start up again ?"

I somehow feel that this is my fault. If I hadn't picked a fight with him last night and went back home with him then I feel like he wouldn't have had the nightmare

Joven finally walks in and starts talking like nothing was wrong. But he wasn't talking to me. If anything he talked to everyone in the room but me. He was ignoring me. I feel terrible. But I also am still really upset that he agreed with my mother. I text him "hey you ok ? Heard you didn't sleep well last night"

He doesn't text me back. This is gonna be a long day...

So work day ends and me and Joven were the last two in the office. I walk up to him. I just want to wrap my arms around him but I don't.

"I'm not talking to you" he said with spite

I counter "jovie I know you're mad but can't you just see this from my point of view"

He shakes his head "see that's just it. I do but you also can't go getting mad just because I said you were wrong. Which you still are"

He didn't even give me a chance to say anything back. Am I wrong ? Did she truly help him ? I go home and ponder this. What if I'm wrong about her altogether. Come to think about it. I don't actaully know my mother side of the story. Maybe I should go ask her. I dont have her number. But I do know she is at her office till 9. I get up off my bed and get my keys. I have to know...

I get to my mothers office. And I'm feeling anxious. I knock and I hear her voice "come in"

I walk in and she looked kind of surprised. She said "David I don't want to fight with you anymore. If that is what you came to do then leave"

I tell her "actaully I want to hear your side. What did you do when you found out he paid some people to take me away and put me at that camp"

She sighs "well the night before your father told me to leave for the week. That he thought I deserved a week away. But your sister called me the day it happened and I came home immediately. I had hoped I had gotten there in time to stop them.but I didn't" She starts sniffling and continues "I then begged your father to tell me where they took you but he wouldn't tell me. So I hired my own private detectives. They found the camp and I was going to come that night to get you but-"

I finish her sentence for her "I was already gone"

She started crying "David I really did try everything I could think of to find you. Then your sister called me one day and told me that you were safe. So in order for you to remain that way I stopped searching because if your father found you then I was afraid of what he might do to you"

I hand her a tissue and she finishes "well then your father died. I asked your sister about where you were and she reluctantly told me about you, and Your feelings for Mr ovenshire. At first yes I was going to bring you up in our sessions. Then I realised this guy really needed me. So finally after countless sessions I told him I wanted to meet you because you had been so special to him. You know he has feelings for you to right"

I nod "yeah we are or well were dating till last night. I accused him of picking sides between you and I. Now he isnt talking to me"

She looks me in the eyes "fix things with him. I know you two care about each other. And when there is that much love between two people then nothing should stand in the way"

I smile at her words. She smiles back and for the first time I don't feel anger towards her. I get up and on my way out the door I ask "one more thing. Did he ever tell you what he felt made the nightmares go away"

She smiles "well I am his therapist so I can't discuss that with you. But I will say this. He spoke of the first night they finally stopped. Which was a movie night that you guys had. You make him feel safe"

I smile and walk out. I have to fix things between us. He's probably home and asleep so I'll do it tomorrow. I have the perfect plan...
