Chapter 35- iHate Sam's Mom.
Freddie's pov
"I'll tell you what" Mrs. Puckett said to me whilst giving me a confusing evil glare. "I'll sign it" she told me.
I smiled immediately I wanted to cheer for joy. "Oh thank you, thank you so much, you don't know how much this will mean to me, Sam, Melanie and their Dad" I said instantly, barley giving her a chance to finish what she was saying.
"If" she said afterwards.
"Ugh if what?" I asked her feeling slightly nervous; I thought I had convinced her to sign it. I thought I had been a genius and worked my Freddie magic, but obviously I must have thought wrong. How could I have been so stupid to believe that she'd agree to sign it without being so uncooperative?
"If you break up with Sam" She answered bluntly.
My face fell I couldn't believe what she just said to me. She wanted me to break up with Sam. Why would she want me to break up with her though, I just couldn't figure out why. I don't want to break up with Sam, I love her so much. If Sam really wanted her Father out of prison and back in her life for good, which she defiantly did, I knew I was going to have to break up with her. Only because I love and care for her so much though, but before I broke up with her I was going to put up a fight.
"What!" I yelled at Mrs. Puckett once I came out of shock.
"I'll sign the release papers if you break up with Sam" she said, making things clear.
"Why do you want me to break up with Sam?" I asked Mrs. Puckett.
"You're too good for her" She replied. What kind of answer is that I thought?
"What do you mean I'm too good for her? I asked starting to get worked up.
"I know my daughter" she told me. "And I know that she doesn't deserve two good things in her life at once so it's either you or her father" she explained.
"You're a bad mother, did you know that?" I yelled.
"I'm not a bad mother Freddie, I just have a sense of discipline" she snapped.
"Discipline, why would she need discipline?" I asked her. This woman hardly made any sense.
"Just look at her Freddie, she's made my life hell" She replied.
"When I look at her I see the most beautiful girl I've ever seen who has caused trouble as she's growing up probably so she could just get some attention from you" I yelled. "Because I'm pretty sure you never spent any time with her and causing trouble was the only way she could even get you to look at her, can you not even imagine how she must of felt" I continued. "She must have felt unwanted and unloved" I said answering my own question for her.
"Why are you always right?" She asked me.
"What do you mean?" I asked. She had confused me I had no idea what Mrs. Puckett was talking about. I had also just then realised that the library closed twenty minutes ago so I would have a lot of explaining to do when I got back to Carly's apartment. That's if I ever did I thought to myself.
"You're a very smart boy" she told me.
"And what's your point?" I asked her. She was making me even more nervous and confused then I already was.
"Pass me the papers before I change my mind" She told me as you put her hand up and out towards me, wanting me to pass them to her. I smiled slightly and then handed her the release papers.
As she was filling them in she said to me "You don't need to break up with Sam"
"Thank you" I said.
"But you best look after her, you are right I am a bad Mother and that girl deserves royal treatment" she told me.
"I will look after her, I promise" I replied.
"I know you will" She told me. "You've been doing well looking after her lately haven't you" she added.
"I do try my best" I replied and she just laughed.
Mrs. Puckett was coming to the end of the forms; she was half way down the last page of the forms when I asked "What made you change your mind?"
"You're a very convincing and persuasive boy" she told me. "And plus I want what is best for my daughters and that's certainly not me. I also want them to forgive me and me not letting them have their Father back or taking you away from Sam certainly also isn't going to do it" she explained and I nodded.
"Right before I sign the dotted line can you at least get my two daughters to come and visit me every so often?" She asked. "Even though they both do hate me I want to try and make things better and turn my life around" she explained. "Better late than never" she added.
"Course I will" I answered as she signed the dotted line, confirming that it was her that filled in the forms, and then she handed them to me. "Thank you" I said to her.
"Hope to see you again someday" she told me. I smiled and turned around to walk towards the door. Before I reached the door handle the door opened and in walked Melanie and Sam. Uh oh I thought…
