Lance.
The moment I walk into the apartment, mom is waiting for me with a frown on her face. I have never been irritated by her presence before, but now I would rather be anywhere but here in this house with her. ''I am not talking to you,'' I tell her, trying to avoid her eyes. She needs to understand that I am hurt right now. She had a hand in taking the one person that made me happy away from me.
It won't be easy to forgive her for all she has done. Mom used to be one of the people I trusted but now I can never trust her again. She betrayed me completely.
''Lance,'' she grabs my arm and pulls me, to stop me from going to my room. ''Let's talk. I don't like what is happening. You are making me out to be the bad guy.''
You are the bad guy.
