Series of short storys

I will love you forever

"It's all your fault you stupid girl!" mother said,

Just after i admitted to knowing she was having an affair with another man. I had been in my Dad's position before but it feels almost completely different. It could be because they are my parents. Im supposed to love and cherish them for all of eternity. But when your mother betrays your trust and the trust of your family, it's not something you can come back from. Just something to add to my list of things that trigger my piercing anxiety.

"Im sorry mother, i've had suspicions for awhile so has Dad and Mabel."I say with a guilty look on my face

Why would she try blame me for this. I've done nothing wrong here. Should i have just let her lie? Dad would've wanted me to say something. But her nasty words make me feel sick, they are the usual. "Piggy" "disgusting" "Bitch" and much more. But this time it hurts more. Because now i know that she really means all of them. Every last word.

The last thing she said to me that week was "go to hell you scum of a child" it is now 5 years later. We don't live with her anymore. Dad tried to take my sister and i away from her completely but that just resulted in more abuse. She only ever hit me and pushed me over but now she's bringing in hot plates and throwing them at us. Us meaning my sister and i. She wouldn't dare touch my Dad, She knows he would go to the police in a heartbeat. But he also knows that if he goes to the police about just myself and Mabel there would be my mother and a gun waiting at home cocked and ready to fire.

We all went out for a walk on the beach and an ice cream. We used to go with mother when dad and her were still talking and trying to keep a mutual friendship till that turned out to be horrible so now we have made an agreement with the whole family to not have much contact with her or anyone from her side of the family. Which i guess i'm not to upset about. I never really felt comfortable around them anyway.

On our walk i bumped into Noah. He was looking SO hot as usual. We exchanged hi's with a quick peck. We hear dad and Mabel pretend to gag

"Guys!! I'm 16 its aloud" i say which an embarrassed smile

We then laughed it off quickly,

"So why are you here?" I say desperately avoiding the question he's about to ask

"Uhh i go out to the surf everyday, you know that?,well anyways. How are things with the home situation? Still same ol same ol?" Noah says.

Knowing Full well i DO NOT want to talk about home and my family. But i was in a good mood to see him so i just nodded and said "yeah it's fine" he knows when im lying but understand completely why i don't wanna talk about it.

We quickly get off that topic and on the topic of us. Our relationship. And where it's headed. We've been together for 6 years (yeah yeah so what i was ten i didn't think guys really mattered) 6 long years but all the best with him. He's known me when i had self cut bangs and painted my nails like a mad woman and he still loved me. I love him just as much. We just talk about our next date night and our comps we have coming up.

"So Aubrey, I've been thinking......." he says with a terrifying look on his face. That sentence is just the preparation for something bad to happen

"Well we've been together for 6 years and 9 months. And i just think we need a break. To explore our options. I don't think i've had enough chance to truly know who i love. Who knows. It could still be you but i just want to try other things" he explains

he said it with just a calm look on his face but my numbness turned from nothing to sadness to anger so fast.

"YOU JERK. IT'S OVER!!!"

i throw sand in his face like a 3 year old but i was upset. We were just about to hit our 7 year mark and he asked for a break!! You don't do that shit to people. You just don't.
