Relentless (Full story is now in Amazon)

IX-Vianna

No one dared to run after me, not George even if he said he wanted us back together, even if he was pleading for my forgiveness, almost taking Adrian's life in his own hands ...and not Adrian who was calling me his princess, his one and only princess.

Am I not good enough?

If they don't love me that much, then I just have to go on. I know I have God up there who has loved me despite of my iniquities, back when I was still struggling as a teenager, when my mother left us for another man and when dad passed away for reasons I have not known until now... God, who has given his only son so that I will live... and Thirdy.

Yes Thirdy. This is supposed to be fun for him. He was all excited preparing for this "fun family day" as he calls it. He even painted the sand castle he wanted our family to do. Where is Thirdy? Has he been looking for me and George? I have to pretend that I am still okay before I see Thirdy.

I don't want to lie, but as a mother, I don't want my son to feel the pain that I have now. I still want him to love George as his father. His dad did not cheat on him. I would know. Or not? What if George has another family? What if he loves his other children more than Thirdy? What would Thirdy be like? What would happen to my son? Oh. Please. Please I have to stop this. I am getting more and more unreasonable. ..

I know it would be hard to cover up the pain that I am feeling right now. It has been a long, tiring day, both physically and mentally. How I wish I did not do my routine of sorting things in our room, I should have not seen that paper George has been keeping to himself. Was that the reason he has been drinking? Was he trying to forget? There is a part of me pushing me to George, telling me that he needs me now more than ever, but another part of me is pulling me away.

I will forget about George today and make myself happy. Yes. That's what I would do. Its past 6PM but maybe I could still drop by the Wellness Center nearby and enjoy myself.

***

It was past 9PM. I know George will not be in our room but I was surprised that Thirdy was still awake. He should have been gone to bed. He usually sleeps at 8PM, trying to live a healthy life.

"You look awesome mom. Your new hair fits you and the color made you younger. Are you really my mom?"---Thirdy asked in exaggeration.

"Are you telling me son that I look old?"

"No. That's not what I mean mom. What Im saying is, you look like just my older sister."---Thirdy winks and hugs me.

"I love you so much mom."

"I love you too son, my precious son."

"Mom, wear this. I bought this earlier, got this from my savings. Will be going to a nearby restaurant. I want you to be with me. I know they serve really good food. "

"It's already late and I'm tired. Let's just do this tomorrow."--- I removed my hat and my shades, exposing my teary-eyes. I am still trying to cover up the pain. Knowing that any time soon, Thirdy will break because of me and George.

"This can't wait mom. My favorite band will be playing plus Amanda will be there too."

"Amanda?"

"Yeh. Our high school student council president. I saw her earlier while looking for you and dad. I didn't know she'd be here. Good thing dad decided to come here."--- Is my son in love? Well, puppy love, sweet, innocent, sincere.

"So mom? Are we going?"

"Ahmmm.. Can you just ask your dad instead?"

"Mom, I want you. Not dad."---Does Thirdy know something about this? Please. Just not yet. We have to tell him both.

"Alright. Sure. Just let me brush up and will be back."

***

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail

I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me

I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
