HIDDEN (Hide Or Die)

Chapter 22

KYLE'S P.O.V.

My hands began to shake, my entire body trembled in fury as I fought hard to control my temper. What reason could she have had to bring him along, other than me? Why was she deliberately trying to hurt my feelings?

"What reasons huh! What reasons could you have possibly had to bring him along huh mum!"

"Kyle! Don't talk to me in that manner, I am your mother!"

She glared at me, purposely avoiding my question. I took a deep breath trying to calm my rage but I realized it wasn't working so in other not to explode all over mum, I turned around ready to leave the room and end the conversation besides Andrew was here somewhere and probably scared out of his mind. I had to find him, with or without Ma's help, I had no time for this.

"Kyle! Don't take another step, we are not done talking. She grabbed my hand and I slowly turned to look at her.

"Mum, please stop," I whispered, afraid of speaking any louder because right there, I knew for a fact that I was a ticking bomb on the verge of exploding.

"I'm sorry dear but I can't stop. You can't be with him. For crying out loud, Kyle, he is a male!"

My lips thinned and my nose flared. I bit down hard on my lower lip as I tried with all my strength to suppress the anger that was now completely ready to explode but she didn't seem to notice.

Please calm down, please calm down. I chanted like a silent prayer, You can't explode on Ma. I told my self repeatedly as I willed myself to calm down.

Think clearly, this is not Ma. Ma will always want my happiness. Ma loves me. There had to be a good reason for what she was currently doing to me.

"Ma, we can talk about this. Andrew is a good person. Why does he being a guy have to be a problem?"

Mum's face instantly turned bright red and she suddenly exploded.

"ALL THE YEARS OF HIDING YOU WILL COMPLETELY BE FOR NOTHING THAT'S WHY!"

Immediately the words left her mouth she froze at the spot and she looked at me with wide eyes.

Every bit of energy in my body dissolved and I instantly began to sweat like the room had suddenly become an oven and it was baking me at an extremely high rate.

My legs weaken and I fell to the floor. "Kyle!" I heard her call out to me but her voice was faint, every single sound faded around me as my brain tried to comprehend what I heard. What did she just say? Did she have an ulterior motive for hiding me?

EMILY'S P.O.V.

What the hell did I just say?

I watched as my baby fell in front of me like a sack of potatoes and I knew I just fuck up. His looked dazed, I could almost see the wheels in his head spinning, he slowly looked up at me, his eyes held the weight of so many unanswered questions and the hope that he might have missed the meaning behind my careless outburst vanished into thin air, this time there was no escape route.

My heart accelerated. He can't know the truth, this was not the time, this wasn't supposed to happen like this, what am I going to do?

"Mum, what did you just say?" His voice was dangerously low, bringing shivers down my spine. The boy that was seating in front of me was no longer my Kyle. His eyes had turned flaming red as they focused solely on me.

"Kyle. Honey, please listen to me I...." My voice got stuck in my throat as he slowly got up, his eyes not drifting even the slightest away from my face.
