I thought I was in the clear. I planned for everything to go perfectly today, but no. Nothing can ever go as planned for me. I starred wide eyed at my parents who only held a pissed expression on their face. 'So you two finally realized I left, I'm so proud".
"Cut the sarcasim Briella, I don't know where you think you're going but I suggest you put on some more comfortable shoes, because you're not going anywhere. You're grounded." My mom's voice was stern as she walked past me into the house, Butch following close behind.
"I'm getting in trouble because i left my two bickering parents. My mother who had lied to me my whole life, now wants to punish me. My father, who probably doesn't care about me now wants to play the stern parent. Wow some life I have." i rolled my eyes.
"Briella, you can pull the liar card all you want to,it doesn't excuse what you did. Do you know how much worry you put me through?!" Her voice raised a bit.
"The worry, I've put you through" I mocked my mom,"She wants to talk about the worry when I live with a liar. Not just a complusive liar no a liar that knows it and doesn't see anything wrong with it. You don't see what you put me through. I thought we were so close, I trust you with everything. Now I'm second guess EVERYTHING." I opened the front door as my rage began to boil in me once again. I turn around as I had more to say, "I left because i didn't feel I belonged. You two were too busy going for each other's throats ready to blame someone, when we could just have made a resolution. It was suppose to be a happy reunion, but no I don't have that kind of life. I can't be that girl that gets to run into her dad's arms the first time she sees him. I just want this to stop, I need to be away from this" I was about to walk out the door when I heard,
"Sit down. Now." My mom's eyes seem to be glowing but I knew it was false. I sat down on the couch, while my parents sat on the oppisite one. "Now, we are going to tell you want happened 15 years ago." She looked at Butch, "Do you want to start or should I ?"
"Neither of you have enough crediblity to tell me anything..." Even though I mumbled, I knew they heard me.
"I'll tell her" Butch's eyes soon turned sorrowful, instantly changing my mood. "15 years ago, I lost the-" He was interupted by Justin coming through the front door.
"B, you ready y-...Am I interupting something?" He looked so cute wgen he was clueeless, just seeing him put a Kodak smile on my face.
"Actually Justin, I'm glad you're here. Justin this my father, Butch. Butch this is my...best friend Justin." I noticed Justin's face fall when I sad best friend. Really, I didnt know what we were, so best freinds was all I could really say. Maybe later we'll sit down and really discuss it. As I snapped back into trance, I saw Butch giving Justin the death glare. I pulled Justin down to sit next to me. He tried to relax on the couch, but somehow his body seemed so tense and he hadn't taken his eyes off Butch. "Ok, enough with the death glare please continue the story"
"That's a family matter" Butch's voice was deep, stern and cold. Full of authority as if he had any!
"Well, I don't know if you noticed but Justin is family. My mom has yet to object to him being here and since you DONT live here or have ANY reign in my life I suggest you continue with the story" I sat back on the couch and gave Justin a quick glance to see he had relaxed a little.
"Like I was saying, 15 years ago I made the biggest mistake of my life and lost the best thing that ever happened to me" I rolled my eyes, is this his way of gettingmy mom back? Ugh this story sucked already, I mean seriously. This going to be the sppiest story of my life! "I cheated on her countless times, with cheating comes with lies. She knew I was doing those things. People told her and told her, but sh enever listened. I did something right by prosposing to her, but at the time I only did it to cover my tracks. It wasn't until later that I realized the real reason. After I proposed things were starting to get worst between us, I believe that she began to second guess or relationship"
"That's exactly what happened, you didn't have that same spark for me that you once had when we first start dating. It was dead in that house, just me all by myself, You coming and going never stopping or having time for me. After I got that ring, things hit me. You were never there, never showed any affection towards me. There was nothing, but you kept coming and going and coming and going. Your name always in the taploids and on gossip sites with a different girl everyother week. I couldn't take it" My mom adverted her eys to the ground. Evern though she lied to me, she's still my mother that I'm SO close with. SHe still a person that has went through emotional things, she has problem too. I should give her some slack and respect her decision on why she did what she did.
"I remember this day perfectly. I was on a little break from my wrestling carrer, and the girl I was talking to at the time was Brute. She's a model and yada yada yada. Brute wasin town and wanted to hang out, Buttercup was lounging around not doing anything. We had currently got into an argument so I thought I'd go have fun for a little while and ,hopefully, come home to her later. So I go see Brute, you have lunch, talk, catch up and a little flirting. We-" My mom stood up, pissed.
"I can't listen to this, hearing things from your point of view. IT'S SICKENING, to know you were out with those whores while I was home, coping with the fact that I was pregnant! It's bullshit and I can't...I JUST CAN'T" She raised her hands in the air as she spoke, through daggers at Butch with her eyes.
"If you can't be adult about the situation and listen to what happened, then leave. Either way I'm telling her what happened, it's been delayed for too long!" He spoke to her and turned back to Justin and I to continue. "So after Brute and I had lunch, we went to the park and things happened that resulted in a kiss. She wanted to take me back to her hotel room, so I did. You know what happens next. Later that night I come home to a hostile home."
"This is where I come in. I got text from Blossom , it was a picture of Brute and Butch all over each other. A image I'm scared with for the rest of my life. Watching the man I loved all over another women, But anyways it all clicked in my head. He didn't love me and want to be with me. I now a physical evidence, never had I before. Soon after I saw the picture, Butch came through the door. I confronted him right off the bat... Who argued for a bit then I said I was done. He realized I was really done, and I was. I planned on leaving him, he wasn't ready for the responibilty and didn't love me. He got on his knees and begged but I was too hurt. ALL those times I pushed off what was really infront of me. He pushed him away and ran to our room and ironically laid on his side of the bed... I looked at the pictures laying on his drawer when I saw his engagement ring sitting there, hidden. That's when I was really reado to go. But before I left I wanted t let him know what the fuck he did to me. I also needed some answers which I didn't get. Dishes were thrown and I got so angry that I bammed the stove with a sledge-hammer, going for Butch's head but he dodged in time. He just kept trying to calm me down, he managed to get me in his embrace and he almost had me. But when he said 'I Love You'... I couldn't deal because it was a lie and it took me YEARS to relaize that. I punched Butch in the jaw and he was outcolded. Laying there on the tile floor, outcolded, I stole his walet. I watched him for a split second before I decided to go out with a bang. I went upstairs, bleached his dark clothes and burn everything all together. Pictures and all. I packed my clothes and put them in my Mercedes. As the fire began to spread, the fire alarms when off, waking Butch. He was outside watching his house burn down. I was keying his car, busting his tires and threw rocks in all his tinted windows. He was standing there crying as if HE was the one to e hurt. Like he was the one tha had been manipulated and used. I was the one that was manipulated and used, I was the one who was unloved and abused emotionally, I was the one who was left to care for his seed. I told him off and threw him a mpostive pregnancy test, tears we blurring my vision but I managed to drive way. I remember the view from my rear-veiw mirror, a crying Butch on his knees in the middle if the street..." I saw tears began to gather themselves in my mother's eyes. Wow, I never really realized how much pain he caused her.
"Buttercup, I just want to apoligize for everything."
"I'll accept your apoligize but nothing's changing between us. I'm still not healed, I can't let someone love me, I'm too scared they will cheat on me or hurt me emotionally. You scarred me."
"Let me help you heal" He tried to pull her close.
"Heal how?! You can't undo all the things you've done Butch. Money won't get you out of this!"
"Money had nothing to do with this. This is about me and you like it's alway been"
"You mean Me you, Brute, the fake barbie bitch, cassie, Ashley, Tara, Hilda, Jada and Nicole" Butch's mouth dropped, "Yep, those are just a few of the girl you cheated on me with. Names I couldn't name Bri, that's why she has such a unique name because I knew she would be a unique girl. A girl that you had no part in raising. I did that, all by my motherfuckin self and I proud of the woman she's becoming. I'm just pissed she has a jackass for a faher". I started to cry a bit, as I saw the hurt on my mom's eyes. She was so strong and I began to feel bad for being so childish and running away when I didn't even know the just of the story. I looked at Butch for a response. He looked just as sad as my mom, obviously he realizes his mistakes and does loe wants to show her, but she has her walls up. Am I ready for my parents to get back together? Of course, i just can't let broken heart infront of me, sit there in pieces. I'll put the puzzle back together...
