XLVI

Grayson knocks on the door before taking a step back and looking down. I've convinced them to come see their mother due to the fact that she no longer has anyone besides Cameron. Ethan's become more distant and drinking more. I've tried to stop him but nothing helps. The door slowly opens revealing Lisa. Her eyes red and puffy and skin pale. Her mood changes as she sees her two sons in front of her

"What do you want" she glares at all of us but never really looking at us

"Mom" grayson starts

"No. I am not your mother." Her voice is hard and cold. Ethan stiffens next to me as the tension becomes very thick "I don't know who you are" she starts to close the door but Ethan stops her

"Please let us in" his voice breaks

"I will not let two druggies and their prostitutes into my house" she squints at him laughing

"Excuse me?" Grayson speaks up as I look down. Lisa had always loved me like a daughter before she found out about Ethan

"Lisa it's me. Nat" I smile at her as I take a step forward. She looks at me as her eyes soften "please" I smile a smaller smile afraid of her reaction

"I'm sorry Natalia. But I no longer know you. I trusted you to look after my son and you couldn't even tell me what he was doing!" she raises her voice making me flinch

"It's not that easy. I couldn't just tell you. You would have taken him away from me" I look down

"Yeah so you were selfish and took him from me!" She screams louder

"She didn't take anyone! You kicked us out!" Grayson yells pulling me back

"Don't you think I know that! All this time without my sons you really think that's easy on a mother!" She holds herself as she looks away "I don't know any of you anymore" she looks at me, grayson and Ethan "so just leave and carry on being the fuck ups you want to be. I did not raise you this way and I definitely know you better than this natalia" she says before shutting the door. Grayson holds Keras hand as I turn to face Ethan

"Eth. Are you okay babe?" I place my hand on his cheek. He looks away making me move my hand as he walks to the car. We all follow him and get in as he starts the car and speeds out of the drive way. He presses his foot hard as the car goes faster and over the speed limit

"Ethan. Slow down" I place my hand on his shoulder. He doesn't listen as he presses his hands down hard onto the wheel

"Ethan man stop" Grayson shoves him trying to get him to stop. He speeds into our drive way and stops the car

"Get down" he whispers

"What?" I look at him

"All of you get down now" he clenches his jaw

"Ethan what are you doi-" he cuts me off as he slams his hand onto the wheel

"Get he fuck out of the car!" He turns towards me as Kera and Grayson get down slowly

"Ethan I'm not leaving you" a tear rolls down my cheek

"Natalia if you don't get down I swear" he starts to breath heavily

"You'll do what huh?" I lean closer to him but I make sure to go slowly afraid of what he'll do

"Natalia get down. And go inside" he raises his hand and points to the door. I flinch thinking he was about to hit me. He pauses and looks at me noticing I'm scared "just go" he whispers turning towards the front again. I slowly unbuckle my seatbelt and open the car door shutting it behind me. I watch as he speeds off. Where is he going? I walk towards the house seeing Keras aunt talking to Kera

"Thanks for watching them" I hear her as I walk upstairs and into my room finding Oliver sound asleep in his crib. I lay on my bed and close my eyes letting myself fall asleep

———
I slowly open my eyes hearing the door to my room open slowly as Ethan stumbles in. I sigh getting up and holding him as he tries to push me off

"Stop Oliver is asleep you're going to wake him up" I sigh pulling his shirt off

"It's fine. I'm a fuck up anyways" he mumbles before walking over to the bed and laying down. I turn around and face him as he places his hand over his face and falls asleep. I walk over to him and pull off his shoes and socks before placing them on the floor. I kiss his chest lightly and run my fingers through his hair looking down at what I can see of his face.

He's not a fuck up. Lisa was just hurt. And so was he. She just cut him a little deeper. I'm going to help him. He needs me

Mmmm I think there's going to be a lot of drama in the next couple of chapters ;)
