Offseason

Breakfast

     I stood up in the living room.

     "I'm going to start making breakfast," I said.

     "Let me help you out," Miro's mother said standing up.

     "It's ok," I said.

     "No, I insist," She said. I agreed and we walked into the kitchen. As we were cooking she looked over at me with a glare. I looked over to her.

     "I don't like you. Let's get that straight. I don't think you deserve to be with Miro," She said. I held back my tears. 

      "Miro cannot convince me otherwise. I know you are with him for his money," She said. 

      "I love your son. He's so sweet. I don't mean to brag but I make more than him currently," I said.

      "Sure," She said leaving the kitchen.

      "Sky!" I heard Miro call from the living room. I walked in and saw everyone in there except his mom. They were all looking at me. Miro hugged me.

      "I heard that," He said holding me. I cried as he held me tightly.

      "I love you," I said.

      "If anything I don't deserve you," He said holding me tightly.

      "Can we just eat?" I asked.

      "Ok," He said running his fingers through my hair. We all went and ate. His mom came in and sat down like nothing ever happened. I looked down at my plate and everyone looked at her.

      "What?" She asked.

      "We heard," Miro said. 

      "What do you mean?" I asked.

      "What you said to my sister," Zach said.

      "Oh, that? That was..," She said. Her voice trailed off. I stared down at my plate. Miro, who was sitting next to me, put his hand on my thigh.

      "Why?" He asked.

      "I don't like her. Your ex was so much better than her," She said. I stood up and walked into my bedroom. I sat on the bed and began to cry. I heard Miro yell in the other room and soon he walked in the door and looked at me.

      "Hey," He said quietly. I didn't see anything as he sat next to me. He put his arm around me. I hugged him. He rubbed my back as I cried. 

       "Don't listen to her. I love you and only you. I never told her why I broke up with my ex. I don't think I told you either. I broke up with her since I caught her cheating on me with one of my good friends," He said kissing the top of my head.

       "I love you," I said. He kissed me and smiled.

       "I love you too," He said kissing me.
