Meeting Mother Dearest

Oscar was so worried when we got home. I asked if he needed help he yelled "No! I can handle it." I didn't wanna get in his way so I walked away. He was cleaning and making sure nothing of mine was out in the open.

I wanted to go outside so I left to a nearby swing set. Oscar said once he went there to think I thought I'd try it. Once I made it there I sat on a swing and remembered when me and Oscar sat here and talked. I couldn't tell you why but I started to tear up. I knew while his mom was there we weren't gonna see each other much other then when we sleep. I couldn't help but cry over it. I heard someone's voice say "Hey aren't you sage?"

I wiped my tears and said "yes and you are?"

he had said his name was Collin and that he heard alot about me."Why? what do you want?" he said "nothing I just wanted to get to know you." he smiled like Oscar use to. I told him " I'm dating someone." he said "I know his name is Oscar...right?" I nodded. "Then where is he? shouldn't he be here when you're upset?" I told him "he's busy. He has alot on his plate right now. I'm sorry I should get back to him. It was nice meeting you." he waved and we parted ways. When I was back at the house Oscar ran down the stairs and said "where the hell have you been?!" I told him "the swing set." he noticed my eyes were red and puffy "Were you crying?" he asked and I said "no I just got some dirt in it when I was there." He hugged me and told me he was sorry. I just kissed his forehead and said "it's okay...I know you're busy." I smiled but I could tell he didn't believe me. Oscar kissed me and said "I know you're faking it. It's obvious my love." a few seconds later the doorbell rang. I ran upstairs and in Oscar's room and closed the door. I could hear Oscar open the door "Hello mother....How was your trip?" she replied "long. Go make me some food please and bring it up to my room." he said "Yes ma'am. Welcome back." she told him "I won't be here long only a few days then I'm gone.". I could hear her walk up the stairs and go to her room. After about an hour Oscar came into the room and laid down on the bed. I just laid with him until he said something. I laid there a really long time. Oscar just said "I hate her." I just looked at him. I had never heard him say he hated anyone before. I couldn't believe he felt that way about his own mother.
