Chapter 43; Home & Mess

As quick as I arrived, I left.

"MILA!" she yelled.

"Mila c'mon! Please!" she yelled again but I ignored her, sprinting towards the only place I could think of which was my neighbors house. I rang the door bell and waited for Kate to open the door which she did only seconds after I had rang the bell.

"Mila! Hey, I didn't know you were coming today," Kate said and I fell into her arms, crying.

"Oh honey, what happened?" she asked but before I could say anything I heard my mother yelling again.

"Jamila, I can explain. Please, let me explain," she begged and I could hear her crying as well.

Well, seeing my mother with another man was definitely not what I had expected when I get home.

"How about you let me talk to your mother while you go and say hello to the boys. They're up in their rooms," Kate said into my ear and I nodded before pulling away.

I opened the door where I heard my little monkey's playing, loudly.

"Guess who's home!" I said happily and smiled, widely as Asher's & Milo's eyes widened as they saw me. "MILA!" they yelled and jumped into my arms, knocking me to the ground.

"I missed you," I said and squeezed them into a much needed hug. "We missed you, too," they responded.

They both started telling me about everything that had happened in the time I was gone. However, a few minutes later I heard the door open again and Kate came in.

"I think you should go and talk to your mother, Mila."

I sighed and nodded before getting up and walking downstairs where my mother was sitting at the kitchen table.

"Explain."

"Oh honey, you weren't supposed to find out like that. I was going to tell you but I just couldn't find the right time to do so especially with you being on tour and stuff," she said as she wiped her dried tears from her cheeks.

"Wait, how long has this been going on between you and that guy?" I asked surprised at her choice of words.

My mother hid her face behind her hands and let out a sigh.

"A couple of months," she admitted, making me gasp. I felt betrayed and angry as I stared at the woman who meant so much to me and never kept a secret except for one.

"HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME? I THOUGHT WE WERE BETTER OFF ALONE JUST LIKE YOU'VE TOLD ME ALL THESE YEARS YET HERE YOU ARE FUCKING SOME GUY FOR MONTHS WITHOUT EVEN TELLING ME!"

"Stop yelling at me! I'm allowed to spend time with someone I like. Why are you so against the idea of finally having the father you always wanted," she said, calmly. So calm that it made me sick.

"Oh my god! Are you kidding me? I never wanted anything more than to know who my real father is. I don't want someone replacing that!" I yelled frustrated.

"I can't tell you! I just can't and you have to understand that!" she yelled and even though she has told me this since I can remember I still feel upset when she tells me that she won't ever tell me.

"Why don't you calm down for now and I'll introduce him to you tomorrow?" she suggested, making me laugh.

"Fuck you," I spat and ran up the stairs where Kate was already standing with open arms, obviously knowing what went down between me and my mom.

I hugged her, tightly.

"You can stay here for now. Let's figure this out tomorrow, alright?" Kate suggested, making me nod. "I will get her out of this house and bring you your luggage. I'll make some dinner afterwards so go and spend some time with the boys."
