"Let go of me."
I jerk my hand off her and she opens her eyes wide from the shock of my outburst. I am on panic mode right now; we are in front of their house and he could find me any moment from now.
I don't want to be caught. I need to tread this slowly. I can't lose him because of her. I need to figure out what this is, it might be the only real thing I will ever have and I am about to lose him because of her.
"What is wrong with you," she yells.
I take a step back and she watches me, to her this is an overreaction. I should just suck it up. He doesn't know what is running through my head "I am sorry mom; I don't want to be involved in this. I know you don't understand and I can't explain it to you but I need to leave," I take another step and she doesn't reach for me. I see the sadness on her face as I take more steps until I am running away from her.
She won't understand this.
