BLSC #10 : His Bid on Her

Chapter 14 - Time

Joel Cesborn

"What happen exactly?" Axel asked me and I sighed.

"Stop asking that, Axel." I hissed coldly.

"It's your own fault though." Joan said and I turned to her glaring.

"Did you fight with Irene?" Joan asked and suddenly my parents walked in. My mom eyes were full of tears and I can't help but rolled my eyes.

"Are you okay honey?" My mom cried and walked towards me.

"Mom.. I'm fine." I said.

"I didn't expect to see my son getting beat up like this with that skill of yours." My dad said disbelief.

"I was drunk." I said truthfully.

"Next time I need to put a lot of tracker for you all." My dad said.

"Sebastian! This is not the time for you to preach!" My mom hissed coldly and she held my hand.

"I'm fine mom.. Gosh why are you crying? I'm not dead." I said and she glared at me. She wipped her tears and looked at my face and my body.

"How many guys?" She asked.

"Eight."

"I'm going to beat those guys up." My mom said and I turned my eyes to dad. He's shaking his head.

"I asked about your whereabouts to Irene." Axel said and I turned my head to him.

"And then.. did she go all panic?"

"No.. she doesn't care." Axel said and I looked at him disbelief.

"That's what you get.. for throwing a girl like her away." My twin said and I threw my pillow to her. I hate her guts so much right now.

"Can you get lost?" I asked and she rolled her eyes.

"Let's go buy something.. I hate seeing you bicker all the time." My dad held her hand and pulled her out.

"I got a news from Matt when I was with her." Axel said.

"What did she say?"

"She doesn't care, Joel. I told her that you're not okay and she just doesn't care."

"Unbelievable." I said.

"I'm going.. I have work." Axel said and he walked out. I turned to my mom and she was busy putting a bottle of water on the table beside me.

"Mom." I called.

"Hmm?"

"Can we talk?" I asked and she turned to me. She walked to me and sat on the chair beside my bed.

"What is it?"

"Mom.. I.." Shit! I became emotional again. I felt tears fill my eyes and my mom looked at me panic.

"What? What is it?" My mom asked.

"Irene was pregnant when she left me." I said and my mom's eyes widen.

"Where is your son or daughter then?" My mom asked.

"She got miscarriage." I said and my mom was speechless.

"She left me because she was afraid that I don't want the baby because I still love my reputation at that time. She left me and got miscarriage when the baby is still 6 months old." I said crying and my mom was still speechless.

"She doesn't want me back now. She hates me." I said and my mom wiped my tears. She started crying too.

"What should I do now mom? I still love her so much." I said desperately and my mom held my hand tightly.

"What should I do mom? I'm still in shock that's why I need time to process it all." I asked.

"I know this will hurt you but give her time, Joel."

"I love her mom, you know I was looking at her crazily all this time. I can't give her time again.. She might be with someone else or-"

"Joel.. listen to me." She cut me and I looked at her.

"Give her time.. a little more. Watch her for a distance first. It's not easy for her to get through this and you have to understand. I was like that when I'm with your dad. Time will help to heal the both of you. It's just a matter of waiting.." My mom said and I shook my head.

"I don't want that mom.. You know I suffered a lot-"

"Joel.. she was pregnant. She thought you won't want that baby and I bet you will get mad at that time if she told you that she's pregnant. She ran away and thought about raising the child alone. I bet she suffered a lot more than you. You can't be selfish. Don't listen to your dad and brother when they told you to just don't listen to her and go for it whatever you like because they both are dumb." My mom said and I sighed.

"Give her a little time, Joel. If you two are meant to be together.. you both will find a way."

"Mom.. I can't."

"You need to be strong. You will lose her more if you want to go back to her right now. You told me that she came her because of her dreams then let her reach and live her dreams. Give her time, Joel." My mom held my hands tightly and I sighed.

"I can't do that.. I love her. How can I not go to her when she's right in front of my eyes?"

"You need to hold that if you love her."

"How long?"

"I don't know.. If you two are meant to be together, you'll meet again."

"What if she met someone along the way and date and.."

"Let her.." I looked at my mom disbelief.

"Mom!"

"If you both are meant to be together, she will get back into your arms again. You can't be selfish all the time, Joel."

"Mom.. you need to understand where I'm standing right now!" I bursted angrily.

"I've been on her position, Joel." That got me.

"I'm sorry." I said and she smiled.

"Give her time.."

"Okay."
