Once we had all our answers Edward and Brendan left, so I had my chance to ask mum to explain everything. Including who my dad was.
"Mum, you know how you said that my dad was a boy from your days at Forks High? Well can you tell me his name?" I asked a bit nervously.
"Sure honey, I just didn't want to say it in front of Edward, Mike and he kind of had a massive argument over me." She said while giggling.
"So my dad was mike?" I concluded
"Yeah, he was like a Golden Retriever to me, and we were good friends... and he took me out for a drink... and things got a little..."
"Mum, did you even like this mike guy?"
"I didn't really like him... He was a bit annoying actually"
"But you still had sex with him anyway?!"
"Well, Yeah. When Edward left me, it was very hard to cope and so to take my mind off things I turned into sort of a slut. And the guys just loved it."
I had to take a long moment to take this in. My mum, the clumsiest person ever to walk this earth: A slut?! No way, how could she.
Finally she broke the silence. "is there something wrong Aleisha?"
"Mum, how could you be a slut?" I asked still in disbelief
"Look, just but out of it, it was my life and I was free to live it anyway I wanted!"
"So, you chose to be the skanky, bitchy slut instead of the clumsy, kind, nice, funny actual human being I know you as?! You should be ashamed of yourself!"
She didn't reply so I plodded off to my room. "A slut?!" I muttered on my way up the stairs.
That night mum came back up to my room to apologize just before I was about to fall asleep.
"Leish, I'm sorry for yelling at you like I did before; it's just that you asked for everything…"
"No problems mum. But I do have a question for you that I want you to answer honestly -and not skipping any details, except for the… umm… you know what parts- about your relationship with Edward."
So after about ten minutes of *story time* she had finally described most things of her life at high school. "Mum, there's just one more thing that I want to ask you, and I know you will get angry with me and give me a lecture on how not to butt into other people's lives. But I need to know… Do you still have feelings for Edward?
She paused for a long moment, and I knew she wouldn't give me a lecture, because she knew that I only wanted the best for her, and I had a feeling that mum knew what Brendan and I had planned for our parents.
