? Chapter 47?
Written by: Tamara Blair
? Adrian’s P.o.v?
Claribel has been so distant and cold towards everyone,I know she’s hurt by everything but i don’t really support her saying so many harsh things to her mom.
I got back from playing basketball with Isaac,i was about to enter my house when I saw someone.
“How did you find my house?” She walked closer to me holding a book in her hand.
“I followed Claribel without her knowing”
“Well,if you are here to see her,am sorry but am sure she won’t want to see you”
“I know,i came to talk to you, I want you to listen”
“Okay,fine”
“Thank you,i know you probably hate me for leaving Claribel”
“I don’t hate you,am just worried about her, She’s cold as ice and so distant ever since you arrived”
“I just really need my daughter back,i need for her to love me again”
“It will have to take time,i mean you left her to survive on her own for 12 years, you can’t expect her to love you back immediately”
“That’s why i need her to listen to my explanation, I know my little angel is still in here,i need your help,i need her to attend a dinner with my family”
“A dinner? That’s almost impossible,Claribel won’t come”
“She loves you and listens to you,i know you can convince her” i sighed and looked around.
“Fine,i will try but don’t expect anything” She smiled widely,She and Claribel look so much alike.
“I need you to give her this” She handed me the book she came with.
“What’s this?”
“Her favorite book from when she was little, please give it to her”
“Okay”
Immediately she left,i walked into the house to meet Claribel cooking something in the kitchen.
She had her hair packed in a messy bun,the way her jeans brings out her curvaceous h!ps, sometimes i thank God for giving her to me.
I dropped the book on the kitchen counter,i went behind her without her noticing and i hugged her,She was startled at first but calmed down.
“Gosh,you scared me” i kissed her cheeks.
“I love you so much”
“I love you, am making lunch,go upstairs and freshen so that we can eat and oh, your mom went out with Robert”
“Are they like.. dating now?”
“I don’t know but your mom acted like a teenager in love” i rolled my eyes while she giggled.
“Old people love, digusting” She swatted my arm with a small towel.
“It’s not digusting, it’s beautiful and they fit perfectly” i race upstairs not wanting to hear her gush over my mom’s love life.

After i was done taking a shower and wearing my clothes,i came back downstairs because i was so hungry.
I spotted Claribel with something in her hands,She looked emotionless,Gosh, it’s the book her mom gave me.
“Um..babe,we…
“Where did you get this book from?” She walked closer to me,her eyes were dark.
“Clary, let’s sit down and…
“Answer my question, Adrian”
“Your mom gave it to me”
“I already told you not to call her my mom and how did she give you? Did you go find her?”
“No,she was at the entrance of the house, apparently she followed you”
“What? That woman is a complete sk…
“Don’t say it,Claribel,i told you not to call her names, regardless of everything she has done, she’s still your mother”
“She’s not my mother,She abandoned me at the age of six,a mother won’t do that”
“She’s trying to explain herself to you and you don’t want to listen”
“So you are on her side now,am your girlfriend,you should be defending me”
“There are no sides here,Claribel,your mom is back and she wants to explain why she left,For several days,she has been trying to talk to you”
“And for 12 years,she left me to suffer,she can’t just walk into my life like nothing happened and worse with a kid she claims to be my step brother,No, Adrian,am not going to accept it.
All i ask for is that she should leave me the h*ell alone”
“Well, that’s not possible,She asked me to invite for dinner at her house”
“Forget am not going,am not going to go there and be pitied by her ridiculous family”
“You are acting like a spoilt brat,She wants a chance with you”
“Why do you talk about her like you know her so well?”
“I don’t know her but I know she really wants you to listen to her”
“Oh,You are fcking her behind my back” She muttered under her breath but I heard her.
“What did you say?”
“I said what you heard,She might be into younger guys”
“You keep your mouth shut,You have crossed the line,how could ever think your mom could do something like that”
“A woman that can cheat on her husband can do anything”
“So you are saying that you don’t trust me too,we have been together for almost 3 years, Claribel and you could think something like that of me” I picked up my car keys and jacket
“Where the h*ell are you going to?”
“Somewhere away from you, if you keep acting this way, everyone in your life will leave you… including me” I walked out the door and slammed it.
