Chapter 5: Heartbreak Of The Past
Ivy walked into the dining room and began to set up everything like how she normally would at her house. Once she had finished Hody's mother came in with plates of food and sat them on the beautifully designed glass stands on the table. Everything looked delicious, so much that it all made Ivy's stomach growl.
"Go ahead and get yourself a plate ready, if you don't he'll get all of the food before we even breathe on it." Hody's mother said sweetly as she began to fix herself a plate.
Just in a few short moments there was a thunder of footsteps heard coming down the steps and into the dining room. Ivy was shocked when she looked at the three plates of food that Hody had fixed for himself.
"I'm impressed that he didn't show you this kind of behavior when he first met you. Hody's mother said as they all bowed their heads and began to say grace then began to eat.
As soon as they were finished eating they all placed their plates in the sink to be washed. Ivy cleaned off the table and then noticed that Hody's mother was doing the dishes alone. She spotted Hody sitting by the stairs with a faraway look in his blood red eyes and walked up to him.
"Why aren't you helping her?" Ivy asked with a raised eyebrow.
"She told me that she wanted to do them alone, she always gets like this after dinner. I try to help her clean them up, I even have tried to beat her to it but she always says she wants to do them alone." Hody said sadly as Ivy sat next to him.
"Is it because of him?" Ivy asked softly.
"Yea, it is. My parents were inseparable, nothing could break them apart. They were the real definition on true love. Most people say that those things are only true in fairy tales but with them it's was more than that. There was never a moment in her life that she was sad when my dad was around, the same goes for me but things change. Those changes had a bigger effect on her more than they did on me. I brushed them off because I knew that there was nothing I could do, while she held onto the past and wished those moments were still here." Hody said.
"How could something start out so great turn out so bad? That's a question I've always asked myself from time to time whenever I think of Fay. Every day I spent with her was like a dream come true then all of a sudden those dreams began to turn into nightmares. I felt like I had lost everything important to me, she was important to me. I hated how most humans and fishmen couldn't see that. I hated when people would try and mess with her, I got into many fights when I was little because I defended her even when she told me not to. I refused to let anyone say anything bad about her no matter what." Ivy said.
"Well I wish there were more people like you in this world, we sure do need them." Hody said with a small smile.
"There are other people like me, their just hiding." Ivy said with a big smile.
"I sure do hope so." Hody said as he stood up from the stairs and walked back to his room.
Ivy smiled at him and stood up when she heard his mother calling her to the kitchen. She walked back and saw his mother sitting at the table and motioning her over to sit next to her. Ivy walked over to her and sat down; she frowned a bit when she noticed that she was crying. She patted her back softly and waited for her to speak.
"I'm a mess aren't I? I'm holding onto things that should be gone by now. I want you to promise me something. Don't ever leave his side, no matter what he does or what he says stay by him." Hody's mother said.
"That's not true and you know it. You have a broken heart; it's not bad that you want to keep good memories but you need to understand that those things aren't coming back. Why be sad about what you've lost when you've gained so much and I promise that I won't leave his side. But I have to ask, why are you telling me this?" Ivy asked.
"I see a bright future for you two. I always wondered what kind of girl's he would bring home and honestly I'm happy that he brought you." Hody's mother said with a smile.
"Are you sure about that?" Ivy asked with a grin.
"I'm very sure after all I am his mother, I know everything about him. I can tell you a few things that would make you doubt that mug he usually wears." Hody's mother said.
"I may have to listen in on that one. Are you feeling better now Mrs. Jones?" Ivy asked with a small smile.
"I've never felt better and you can just call me Honey or mom whichever one. I want you know that you will always have a place to go when you visit here. If you ever need anything please tell me, I'll try my best you as much as I can." Honey said to her with a big smile.
"Thank you and the same goes for you. I'm also ready to talk when you are; Fay always said that helping was my specialty." Ivy said with a smile. They bother laughed.
Not too far away Hody was standing near the kitchen entrance smiling happily. He walked up to the steps as silently as he stuck down but was stopped when he heard a cough behind him. When he looked back there stood his mother and Ivy with grins one their faces.
"What, I just wanted a piece of cake." Hody said trying his best to smile. Honey and Ivy laughed at him.
