Caroline's POV
I'm studying right now for my exams. I can't believe that I'm almost done high school. I heard someone knock on my door, I looked up and I saw my mom.
"Caroline can we talk for a minute?" She asked.
I nodded. "Sure mom."
She sat down on the edge of my bed.
"I know I've waited too long to talk about this with you, it's because I thought you would have gotten over Dallas by now but you haven't. I just don't understand Caroline, why do you care about him so much?" Asked my mom.
I sighed. "Honestly mom I'm not really sure why. It's just that I know Dallas has a bad reputation but he was really good to me. He treated me good, sure we had our rough patches but he always made the effort to fix them. I liked being around him, I liked hearing his stories and he was such a good listener. He just made me happy."
My mom nodded listening carefully to every word I said.
"Have I ever told you about what grandad thought of your father?" She asked.
I shook my head no.
"Let's just say your grandad hated your father. My father wanted me to marry someone in our class and when I brought home your father, my father was thrilled! He was so happy. Grandad thought I was going to marry the man who would be running the biggest oil company in Tulsa but when I told grandad that your father was actually training to be a cop, grandad was furious. He didn't want me marrying your father. He wanted to me to find someone else who would make more money than a cop but as you can see I went against what grandad wanted. It was tough believe me, but it was worth it." Explained my mom. "I understand why you went behind our backs, you were scared we would reject Dallas."
I always wondered why my uncle took over the business and not my father. It make sense now.
"You and dad would have." I said.
"That's true. I told you this story because I want you to understand something, I went behind grandad's back because I love your father and I knew your father was a good guy, Dallas on the other is not. Even though we both went behind our parents back, our situations were different." Finished my mom.
I nodded wanting to cut short this conversation.
"Do you understand Caroline?" Asked my mom.
"Yeah I do." I said.
"Okay I'm going to go pick your prom dress from the tailors I'll be back in an hour." Said my mom as she kissed my forehead and got up.
Prom is in a week and I'm going with Cherry. Cherry was suppose to go with Blake but Cherry dumped him considering what he did to me at the rumble. Blake ended up getting a new date.
What I wanted to tell my mom is that our situations weren't different because at the time her dad thought my dad was a bad guy but she knew he wasn't. My parents think Dallas was a bad guy throughout our relationship but I know he wasn't, well until I found out he used me. Maybe my mom was actually right.
