Adrian's POV

Yawning awake I didn't see Mom laying beside me, oh no. Bolting towards the french doors leading to the balcony I run to the front of the house to see Mom being escorted towards the beach hands in the air.

She slowly faces Dad... he's holding a shotgun! Ducking behind the railings I'm scared for my life I see how sad she looks, and how he kisses-eww. Grown people are confusing, don't they hate each other?! Running back to my room I go downstairs to grab the letters but that's when I hear Dad coming back into the house. Tucking the letters into my pants I escape through the kitchen, back outside where I see Mom's still body in the sand.

Her face was half covered, pushing her hair out of her face she smiles. "My boy-" Shaking my head I gently brush the sand away from her face. "Come on Mom we gotta get out here." With teary eyes, she looks away. "You should be with your father. I'm only going to leave again Adrian. He can take you to school, help with college, keep you around Marc and Mia. That's the life I want you to have Adrian. Besides I'm not strong enough to take you with me-"

"But I wanna be with you!" I shout and she freezes looking me dead in the eye, I guess right now she needed more convincing. "I've been with Dad my entire life. He tells one story about you, how you left us. And for a while I hated you because he never gave a reason why you left, you just did. I didn't know you nearly took me and then left. I didn't know you had written these journals, was- is a famous doctor or assassin for that matter. All I knew was your first name, Lydia. And that's from Aunt Mia, where I learned you were- are a famous doctor."

I kept going,

"Mom I knew Wikipedia pages of you. When I got those letters I knew my Mom, a mom I always wanted. A mom I knew was out there until you faked your death, and when I saw you in my bedroom I couldn't believe it but knew it was you. Mostly because of facial recognition. But ya know because you're my mom. And I'm choosing the sea, I'm choosing slaying dragons, and I choose you. If I could talk as a baby I would've gone with you, life in Boston is so boring! So please, let me help you-us get out of here. Okay, Mom?"

Finally, she gives a small nod. Groaning painfully she gets herself in a standing position, "Help me up, kid." She grunts as I help her lean on me for support. We hobble along the sand, I kept looking back in case Dad was running after us. I wanted to move faster but I didn't want to hurt Mom.

Looking ahead I see a boat, "Mom wait here." I say holding her till she's in the sand nursing her wound. I run to see the boat full of ropes, first aid kits, and food. Looking back at Mom who's on her feet staggering over to me. "Get in I'll push." She says I wanted to laugh.

"No you get in, I'll push." She doesn't say another word as she gets in and I start to push the boat out to sea. Once we're a good distance I get in and she starts the motor and soon we're miles away from the beach house. "Now you know Wade will be after us right?" She asks bringing me in her arms. I used the first-aid kit to mend her wound, as she held me close.

"Yes."

It was in this moment I vowed to protect my Mom no matter what.

No. Matter. What.

Lydia's POV

"Adrian Gabriel Leonardo Wade Brooks Wilson." The announcer said and I cheered the loudest watching Adrian walk the stage! Aww, he looked so handsome in his gold cap and gown! He went to shake people's hands before going up before the stage about to say a few words. "When you're the son of a world-renowned baby surgeon you have a lot of pressure on you from a young age. But school came easy to me, not sure if genetics played a role. Not having her in the early stages of my life... that was difficult-even though she was around... she wasn't around physically. She taught me to care about myself, to be tough, be strong. Seeing her now, supporting me now, she has taught me love, kindness, and compassion. And I know I wouldn't be the man I am now without her. Without wanting to be with her, I wouldn't be here accepting these awards and getting to do this speech. So thank you Mom, I love you."
