The damaged brains

Chapter 15 - Suspicious.

Knowing that the baby isn't Mr Andrew's made me feel better somehow , I regreted talking to my mom the way I did .. I was stupid , but everything was so much for me to deal with .

Why would my father do such a thing to my mom ? He loved her so much , it was so obvious that he admired her so why would he harm her ..

Tears fell on my cheek as the feeling of guilt grew in my chest , I shouldnt tell my mother those words , even if what she did was messed up .

" Stop crying .. she'll be fine , and so we will ." I needed his hug the most .

" Why would he do such a thing to her ? " I still couldnt believe what my father had done .

" It's way complicated than we can understand .. that's what my mother kept saying when ever I ask  ."

" Maybe he wasnt the one .. or maybe she's not infected at all and she's just sick being pregnant .! " I tried my best to defend my bygone beloved father . And I crossed my heart to find what Grey told me to be all a lie , a missunderstaning ... anything but the truth .

" I dont know what to believe anymore .. " Grey too was lost , he went quiet for a while then continued .
" But my dad was the one in charge of Section one , Ian made the cure and gave it to my dad .. who injected all the people in Section one with the virus except of my mom ... "

" Please dont ask me why would he do such a thing .." I myself hadn't see things clear yet .

" You're not telling me everything .."

" Look , Mr Andrew noticed that she was infected .. he was the one in charge , he could of shot her dead because she's a threat but he chose not to . He took the risks and let her live  , giving her one more chance to fight for her life and her baby's . " Maybe thats why Grey was in the same line with Mr Andrew .

" That doesn't mean he has the right to be that close to her ." The memory of the two of them flashed in front of my eyes.

" This is none of our business . " Grey wanted to close the subject . Somehow he was about to cry .

" It's okey .. you can tell me anything ." I wiped my tears away , I wanted to be strong for him .

" Mr Andrew and my mom knew each other long way back , they were highschool classmates , the three of them were , along with my father . They both fell in love with my mother starting a love triangle relationship . She decided to be with my dad because he was the one she loved , but he still felt unsecured whenever Mr Andrew was around . He was obsessed with her , he wanted her to be only his , and so she was .. yet my father was a suspicious man .. you know that for a fact Emma . "

He was right , I've always wondered why my father would be so protective when it came to my mom but then I thought he just over loved her and maybe that's a normal thing . I didn't think he was that sick .

"Do you remember the day Mr Andrew moved to the house on the other side of the street . My father was yelling at her , blaming her for something we didn't know then . While she just cried and swore that she had nothing to do with it ."

That was almost a year ago , and yeah I remember them fighting over something . But I have never asked what was wrong and they've never talked about their own issues in front of us .

" Well , when he saw Mr Andrew he rememebered the old days . He was affraid to lose her , unsecured .. not knowing how to act nor what to do . when the invasion started and we ran away , mom found out that she was pregnant . They were in the Cabin when she told my dad , he lost his temper and he even accused her that the child wasnt his but Mr Andrew's .. He didnt stand being in the same place with him . And so they were tranformed to Section one " Mr Andrew's farm house " . My dad wouldnt go if he knew that the house was Mr Andrew's , so they all agreed to tell him that it was Jack's house for the sake of my mother. "

" But soon he found out .." I continued for him when he lost his breath . Things weren't clear yet , I was still lost as ever .

" He found out by the time Ian gave him the cure , his suspicion got the best of him and he thought that the baby isnt really his own . Unt Laura heard him , he was yelling at her she said , telling her that she cheated on him . He did his job and gave the others the virus , then he went to the army and got himself injected by choice , went back to mom with the PX39 and he injected her before losing his brain , he ran away into the woods without telling her what he gave her wasnt the cure ."

My head was filled with dark thought and it started pounding , I felt a bitter pain in my heart and I wished to take it off my rib cage and cut it to pieces to break the pain away . I felt so guilty for telling my mother those harsh words , she went through a lot . I felt sorry for her . My heart was broken , I did not know how to feel about my father , after all he was gone anyway .

Ian sat quietly by my side , my brother on the other side . It's said that the middle is the safest place to be , yet I did not feel safe at all , I was exhausted and I wished if all this chaos ends . I wanted to apologize to my mother and tell her how sorry I am now after realizing all the things she went through .

" Ian .. Grey hurry up ! " Mr Andrew was screaming from inside the house . Unt Laura and Cassandra were calling for Ian too , they were freacking out . I stared at Ian who stood up quickly and rushed inside , Grey and I followed . They were in the guest-room .

From behind Grey's back I saw Mr Andrew and Ian sitting on the floor , my mother's hand in Mr Andrew's  .. she was lying on the floor , her skin so pale and her eyes closed .

" She's not breathing .."  Said Ian .
