"You're lying" He hissed like an angry cat, "He's not mine!" That's how the fight originally broke out. I wasn't some random chick trying to pin my child on him. Then it hit me in a moment before I retracted my claws and slaughtered Alek Petrov. Sawyer was my child. He looked nothing like Alek, and I had gone without a dad so why couldn't he.
"I'm leaving" I said in my own harshness and anger opening up Valentina's office door looking at her face and giving her a look that had no apology in it, nothing at all reflected in her eyes but utter shock at how I must have looked. I felt the cat senses flooding to my head and a shiver falling down my spine, heat coming where the cold used to be. I grabbed Sawyer's arm and pulled him out of the apartment barely giving Jasmine any eye-contact. This could not be happening tonight to me. What had I suspected from Alek in the first place? 'That's great I have a kid! Oh my god so happy!' no, no one in their right mind would jump on that train automatically.
I could hurt myself staying around here any longer, I knew that for sure and I wasn't planning on it at all... Why would I be that stupid girl to stay with a guy that did nothing but hurt my feelings? But Alek had never really hurt my feelings, I had been the one to hurt his feelings as a teenager. Then he denies Sawyer, denies him? Did I look like the slut type? Could Alek not count months in his head or what...
Or had I become nothing but history in the lost text of his life.
"Sawyer get up" I said walking into his room in my normal home. This had been the worst part of my life lately, getting him up for school. The rest of life had been relaxing, though I'd be lying if I said a beautiful mai hadn't been playing tricks in my mind... He still was there in the back of my head.
"Mom... are you going out tonight?" Sawyer looked at my red dress laying across the chair. I nodded and swallowed hard searching for some kind of white lie in my head. That's right, I was moving on with life and forgetting any name that started with an A and ended with a K.
"Yeah, business meeting. Completely boring" Exciting, full of adrenaline and please let me like the guy. "Nana said she'd keep an eye on you, I'll probably be home late tonight"
"Um, alright well... I'm going to go to school now" He said, hopefully believing me.
Sawyer:
I can't believe she lied to my face, I pulled out my android scrolling to the last contact in my phone. Uncle Paul (Do not answer). "Code Blue" I said into the speaker as he answered in obvious sleep. We had stayed long enough to see him marry Aunt Amy and then we took off faster than I had ever left a town before, and being the son of the Uniter you leave town fast.
"You're mom's got a date tonight?" Paul asked and I heard a loud 'WHAT?' in the background. "We're flying out!" My mom was not going to like this, but then again. This was a big deal- ever since I realized that my mom had fallen in love with that guy (My father) I had felt guilty, it was all my fault that she never got that normal life as a mother, or never got her true love back. He's my dad and I shouldn't of wasted my energy trying to prove my mom only needed me.
That's why, Amy, and Jasmine were my most called people these past few months. I was going to get my mom her man back (Amy's term) and she was going to finally settle down and we could be a family. One problem, If I had a code blue happening right now. It was never going to happen.
"You won't make it in time, and if you did what would you do idiot? I'm just telling you. I got this" I called up Henry, he was my best friend and the only one that had a crazy crush on my mom. Disgusting, I know but he loved her. "Hey, my mom has a date tonight"
"-be there in ten" He said roughly and I waited on the street corner for him to roll up.
