Not Over Her(priskid10)

Chapter 8

The next day

I didn't sleep at all. I kept turning and switching sides on the bed. I even considered sleeping next to Miguel in his room. Now, Cade was back in my life,I don't know what to do. I thought I would never come in contact with him, or even set eyes on him.

The dinner yesterday was tensed, I couldn't eat properly since I was shifting uncomfortably on my chair all through the night. Cade and the bald old Chinese merger was obviously referring to me,but I swear I regret not learning Chinese.

And the tone Cade used with the man, was the same one he used to chase all males who came near me in the past. You see, Cade was my first everything. My first hug, My first kiss, My first sex,My first Love,My first everything. I didn't just love him,I cherished him. I actually treated him like my own god,but he didn't value that. He gets jealous at any given time.

I wasn't allowed to speak to my male classmates,even those with good intentions weren't allowed close to me. I could remember the one time, I met Fred. Fred was my classmate of course and he met me to ask about the previous class assignments given to us. Everyone in school knew that Fred was gay, including me.

I was still explaining the assignments when Cade walked in to pick me up. He didn't let me explain, before  he threw a punch at Fred's face. That didn't stop there. He beat Fred up, completely making a scene. It was until Damien, Fred's boyfriend came to his rescue. Cade scared me that day. Fred didn't come to school for a whole 2 weeks, because he had a fractured bone,and some muscles misplaced. How can a guy beat someone like that in minutes?

Cade was possessive of me. He easily gets angry too. Whenever he gets angry, he doesn't shout at me, he locks himself in his study or room for about an hour, before coming out refreshed. He never laid his hand or shouted at me until... that day.

That one day, I hated so much. I wish that day never came,we would have been all happy, Miguel wouldn't have been asking me all this questions now. He would have a mom and a dad who loves him so much.

Well it can never happen. It's been rearranged by Cade himself.

I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't hear my room door open.

"Mom? Are you crying?" Came Miguel's morning voice. It's already morning and he woke up without my help. That's great right?

Me crying? I touched my cheeks. Oh goodness. I was a teary mess. How many times will I cry  for you, cade?

"It was that dinner right? I told Calvin not to hurt you!" He said,suddenly becoming angry.

"Nobody hurt me...." And he rudely interrupted.

"Stop lying mom. Ever since you came to pick me up from Aunt Nina's, I knew you were off. You were very tense and that's very weird. You're never tense. " He came closer and his blue eyes were showing worries, making me miss his dad so much. Why do sons have to look like their dad so much?

"Did he hurt you?" Came his small voice. Awwwn.

"No he didn't Miguel."  Actually your dad hurt me.  "I remembered my mom,that's why I'm crying. I saw someone who looked exactly like her yesterday.". Good mother indeed!! Keep lying to your son. But I really miss her though. She would have been my backbone to all this I'm probably about to face now.

His cute face softened. And he placed his small palm on my face,and wiped the one lonely tear which rolled down.
"Sorry mom, I don't know how your feeling but I know it hurts. I don't think I can live without my mom. She's my everything "he told me sincerely
