The Rejected

27

The next morning around 7 am we were at the Diner. Sitting we looked around at everyone a we waited. I knew my mom. She never showed up on time if she showed up at all. And as I expected around 7:45 my mom walked in and made her way towards us. She looked like she had just woken up.

Damon glared at her which she returned as she took her seat. I ignored them both as I looked at the menu until my mom spoke up. "You look nice today."

I tore my eyes away from the menu and at her. "Better then I looked when I lived with you? dressed in dirty ripped up clothes because alcohol and drugs were more important to you." She sighed as she looked at me giving her a harsh stare. 

Damon wrapped his arm around me giving her a harsher stare along with a small growl which caused her to tear her eyes from me and look at him.

"Chill you mutt. You know nothing about our past don't jump in this." Damon snarled at her.

"From what I heard you were a bad mom to an amazing girl." Damon responded and I looked at them both. 

"that's enough you two. The whole diner might end up looking at us if you two keep this up." Damon's gaze softened up whilst my mothers stayed strong. My mom was never the type to back down or listen to what people told her to do. And sometimes it annoyed me how she wouldn't even listen to her own daughter.

"Sage. I really do feel bad for what I have done." I looked at her.

"Do you now? Funny how when I leave you feel bad. But I was there crying to have something to eat you felt nothing." I looked down at the floor feeling my eyes water. Damon wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer to him. 

"Oh my god your never gonna get that go are you?" I slammed my fist against the table as I looked at her.

"How could I!? You traumatized me! Most of the fuckers you slept with traumatized me! Now I see a hand raised and I freak out remembering you slapping me every time I did something wrong!" My mom stood up and slapped me causing Damon to launch up and grab my mom throwing her up against the wall as he snarled down at her.

"Don't you fucking dare lay a hand on Sage ever again. Do you hear me?" My mom glared at him before turning to me.

"Call off your mutt before he hurts someone." I sighed and looked at Damon.

"Damon relax please. I don't want you being sent to jail for attacking what looks like human.." Damon let go and my mother walked over to me and grabbed me by my hair before pulling me outside. I screamed as I clawed at the monsters hand. Damon ran to her and got her to let go.

After she finally released me Damon shifted and grabbed my moms hand with his teeth and tugged on it as if trying to pull it off.
