Lovers and Friends

Chapter 7

Cody's P.O.V
 

After the party, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of Lauren's fine ass. But that quickly faded when I came back to my harsh reality.

I parked outside my house and just stared at it's dark frame. I didnt know what I would see once I got inside.

I finally got out of the car and slowly made my way towards the front door. Just as I expected, the inside was just as dark as the outside.

"Mom" I yelled throughout the house. I could hear slight movements in the house but I couldn't pinpoint exactly where she was. I finally found the light switch and flipped the lights on. She was sitting in the corner shaking.

"Whyyyy ?" she yelled out.

" What did I do wrong?" she screamed.  I disgustedly looked at all the needles and alcohol on the floor and I instantly knew what was wrong with her. My dad left us a few months ago, and not only did he leave; but he remarried a week later. Every since then my mom has been a complete wreck.

I,on the other hand, was glad that he left, because now the sick bastard couldn't hurt us anymore. I gently pulled my mother in my lap, and rocked her back and forth to sooth her.

"It's ok mom" I told her.

"It's not your fault"I repeated.

"We gone get through this, I promise" I cried out. I just sat there and held her as she cried.

"I saw him with her. Was I not good enough" She screamed. I just sat there in complete silence because I had no clue on what to say.

She eventually fell asleep in my arms, shaking and fidgeting. I moved her hair out of her face and just stared at her for what seemed like forever.

"How could I let this happen to you?" I questioned,instantly feeling guilty. I picked her sleeping body up and laid her in the bed, pulling the covers on top of her.

I stood there thinking about my dad and all the times he beat me and my mom, and the other incident that scarred my life forever. I never understood how my mom could love a man that was so cruel to us. I hated him with everything in me. I hated that he ruin my family. I hated that I had to live this lifestyle,just so me and my mom could get by. I hated that the one man that was supposed to protects us, did everything in his power to destroy and hurt us.

Outraged by it all, I pulled out my phone and called my homeboy Q. He picked up on the third ring.

"I need you to help me with something." I said.

  "Ight meet me at the trap. One" I went into my room to retrieve my pistol.

He will not hurt us anymore!
