Crossed the Line

I went over to my husband's mother and slapped her. Her cheeks started turning red and puffy.

"How was that for the start of the story mummy in law. I'm sure you enjoyed just as much as I did." You could see her face turning red, not from the slap I gave her, but from embarrassment.

She had thought I was a little slut who lost her virginity at her own will. When in reality I had been raped, against my will.

"How dare you lays your dirty hands on me."

"Why are you surprised you said you wanted to feel the way I did for those 5 months and that's exactly what I was about to give you. Minus the part where I got someone to abuse and rape you for 5 months. Tell me which one do you prefer. I know my answer."

"Mira she didn't know take it easy on her." I turned to look at my mother, as I looked in her eyes. She really seemed to care if I hit the woman or not.

"I'm sorry where did I get the fact that she was your daughter that got raped and abused for 5 months. Please go on!"

"I'm not a victim, at least not anymore. But I will not let someone make fun of that situation as if it's a laughing matter. You can go and defend her all you want, if you wanna loose your daughter over it."

And just like that she was gone. She walked out, went upstairs and came back with her 2 daughters. "If your gonna come Kaden you better hurry up."

I got up, put my shirt back on and walked out with them. If I were to pick sides I'd have to pick my wife. My mother crossed the line, no she didn't cross it she straight up skipped it. Hopped over it as if it was nothing.

Mira didn't speak after that, she just put her daughters in their car seats. Then she got into the drivers seat and started driving. She didn't even put her seatbelt on.

"Are you okay."

"You don't need to act like you care. I've been on my own practically my whole life. People talk shit about me all the time, she just hit my soft spot."

"Okay I know my mom, she can be stupid most of the time. But your not stupid at all, and you know your also human. Just an hour ago you fainted and when you woke up you started crying over the situation."

"Don't lie to me and tell me that your fine, when I know that your not." Now she was starting to piss me off. It's bad not only for her health but it will start to affect her children. And her children are my children.

"But why do you bloody care you don't even know me."

"Mira you have stupid reasoning. I don't need to know you in order to care about you. You know your health is a major factor in this, it will not only affect you but it will affect your children. Not just these you have right here, but the ones that are to come as well."

I couldn't help but think he was right. But I'm still not use to having someone care about me. Not that people don't care about me because there are people that do. I've just never had someone who knew me so well he could knock down my weaknesses to get me to talk.

And my main weakness was of course my children. I love them to death and I would never do anything to hurt them. If I could I would release all the pain I hold inside. But I can't, I can't and I don't think I can learn how to.

"But Kaden, don't you understand. I don't know how to release this pain. Yes it's eating me up inside, but trust me I would cry my heart out right now if only I knew how to."

"Well Mira, it's not something you learn. You don't expect to get rid of the pain by keeping it locked inside. As the years go by it will only grow and grow and grow. And by this point that hate and pain is gonna eat you up, and you wanna know why. Because it needs the energy to keep on going, don't let it grow!!"
