Alexis' POV

"What took you so long?." My aunt's voice cracked all over the house as I closed the door. And it caused my heart to leap. I turned around and my eyes found her sitting on the couch obviously waiting for me. I stopped for a moment. My plan was to run to my bedroom as soon as I arrived but I didn't think if I could do that.

"Sorry, I stayed at the park a bit longer and didn't notice the time." I tried to hide my face from her especially my eyes that were swollen from crying but I guessed it was too late for me to do that. Her forehead furrowed when she noticed something and it made her stand and walk towards me without leaving her eyes to my sullen face.

"Alexis...? Tell me honestly, what's happening to you?" The tone of her voice wasn't asking but it was like ordering me to tell her the truth and not to hide things from her. Did she have any idea? Oh! How I wished that she didn't know anything about what happened to me. Because the way she said and looked at me was like she knew something.

I gathered some air before I spoke. "Mom... I'm not hiding things from you. Don't you trust me?" Panic rose in me. "I'm fine. I'm just tired." I lied.

"I trust you. You knew that. Why? Is there anything I don't need to know?"

"No... Why would I hide things from you? I'm not gonna do that." I tried to sound convincing but I supposed that wasn't enough for her to believe me.

" Well, you already did actually." She looked into my eyes and I could feel my body became numb by what she stated.

"Mom. What are you talking about?"

I tried to smile as if I was playing innocently in front of her.

"Glenn told me everything." She simply answered me.

"Mom. I..." I was thinking about whether I explained myself to her or not.

"When do you plan to tell me?" She appeared to be hurt by what she asked me. I could see it in her eyes. Actually not only hurt but also upset. I was sure of it and I couldn't say anything against it.

"I'm sorry.." That was all I said and lowered my head looking on the floor in order to hide the guilt I felt.

"Is that really what you want Alexis?" Confusion consumed me as I heard her spoke again. I abruptly raised my head and glanced at her.

"What do you mean?" I really didn't have any idea what she was trying to tell me.

"Just because I keep on talking with your mother you can just hide things from me? You know that I always want you to be safe." I could feel her sincerity while saying those to me and I believed her. "Actually, I forced Glenn to tell me everything. He was here earlier." She explained. I didn't know whether I was going to be mad at him or not. Why did he come here anyway?

"So it was Glenn," I confirmed.

"Don't get mad at him. I pushed him to tell me the truth."

"Okay.." I sighed. "Mom... It wasn't about my mo..." I didn't continue what I was saying. I just gave her a steady gazed. I didn't wanna say anything that might have caused her to blow her top.

"Alexis... How many times do I have to tell you that your mother has the right to know everything about you." The guilt I felt earlier was replaced by a sudden irritation. Why was she thinking that I was doing all of these just because of my heartless mother? It didn't make any sense.

"It has nothing to do with her," I responded. "Please, I don't want us to talk about it now." I pleaded.

"No... We have to talk about it now! Whether you like it or not you have to know that....."

"That's a bullshit mom!" I snapped. My cheeks flushed as those words rushed out from my mouth. "I'm sorry I..."

She was pretty terrified by what I just said to her. Actually not said but yelled to her. I wanted to burst into tears with remorse. My behaviour sometimes was intolerable that I couldn't avoid to become harsh when speaking to other people. I was really praying that she would have forgiven me for what I acted towards her. Though she loved me, it wasn't a guarantee that she would just forgive me after this.

"What did you just say?"

"Mom... I'm sorry." I apologized again.

"You said bullshit! What's wrong with you? I never teach you to be like that. For God's sake Alexis, I'm doing the best I can just to raise you properly and not to be disrespectful. That is how are you gonna treat me now? Answer me!" She was really upset and it was all my fault.

"What I am trying to say is that my mother has nothing to do with this issue. I just don't want you to worry about me."

"That's the only thing you wanna say? Alexis... Even though I'm not your real mother I am always worried about you. And you can't change that. I care too much for you that I can't stand seeing you hurt because I love you. You know that you're the only precious thing I have in this world. Please listen to me. I have so many things to explain to you that you need to know and understand." I couldn't control my emotion anymore as I saw her crying. I hurriedly hugged her tightly.

"Ssss. Mom, I'm sorry. I really do." I whispered to her. "I love you more than you'll ever know. And I don't want to give you burdens to carry."

She pulled away from my embrace and looked at me then my hand reached for her eyes and wiped them using it. She gulped before she spoke. "Alexis I want you to know that your mother is here to see you."

Goosebumps appeared on my skin. I'd never expected for this."What do you mean she's here?"

"She's back in town just to meet you and I hope you will give her a chance to know you."

"That's not gonna happen." I couldn't keep the anger I had for my real mother anymore.

"Don't say that. Whatever you do you can't deny the fact that she's your mother. That she's the one who gave birth to you. The one who gave life to you. You should be thankful at least." I knew that she was trying to convince me but it was still worthless.

I shook my head in disagreement. "No mom... Whatever you do you can't convince me to speak to her nor see her." I finally said and turned to the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I must meet Glenn."

"Alexis... Don't do it." She begged.

"I'm not gonna scold him. I just wanna talk to him. Don't worry." I replied and scurried.

As I arrived at the restaurant I immediately parked my car and headed inside. To my disappointment, I didn't find Glenn there. Loyd, one of the waiters there told me that he didn't show up in the restaurant for two days. He was probably in his apartment. I knew where his place was. I could go there and talk to him. I wanted to know why he went to our house. Besides, we didn't talk for two weeks and I already missed him. I walked out of the restaurant and headed to my car. While walking, I tried to dial his number but there was no answer. He might have been up to something. I was about to get in my car when I heard someone calling from afar. There I saw Loyd running after me with a piece of paper in his hand. I frowned.

"Alexis..." He said as he finally reached me.

"Something's wrong Loyd?" I asked him.

"No.. I just wanna give you this."

Wrinkled appeared on my forehead as he handed me the paper he was holding. There was an address written on it. "What's this?"

"That's Glenn's new address. His mother came here earlier to inform us of some new rules she's gonna implement soon. Then, I also found out that he has already moved out of his apartment."

"What?!"
