FAITH'S MOTHER (Evelyn)

- But honey, I'm your mother and how can I not know what work you do?

- Mom, I don't want you to just know that.

- Wait !, don't tell me that you work in illegal projects?

- Mom, I won't tell you anything.

- But faith, why are you telling me that?, If you work in illegal projects, what will I do when you go to prison?, I lost your father, I will not lose my daughter anyway .

- Mom, do you trust me?

- Of course honey, but it's weird because I'm just asking you what is your job and you are not able to answer me.

Sorry I'm starting to doubt you.

Her face is decomposed, but it's true I doubt her, because maybe she is hiding something fishy from me and I'm worried about her, any mother will worry about her daughter in this kind of story.

- Ah SO IT'S YOU WHO'S GOING TO TALK TO ME OF DOUBT, FOR TWO YEARS, I SUPPORTED WHAT YOU BECAME, I DIDN'T DOUBT YOU, BUT YOU, MY MOTHER, YOU DOUBT ME, C 'IS THE TOP, YOU KNOW, YOU BLOOD ME, I'M TIRED OF YOU, SHIT WHY ARE YOU MY MOTHER ?.

This is the sentence too many, I slap it.

- J .... J .. E su .. Is sorry, my ma ... In is by ... Tie all ..... Only then I approach her.

- No do not approach me, never approach me again, from today consider ME as a stranger and I will do the same, I hope that we have said everything and that you will be happy, continue to doubt your children and you will find yourself alone, then she left.

I slapped my daughter, I can't believe I made this mistake.

I started to cry.

BRIAN (FAITH'S BEST FRIEND)

I wake up, slowly, to the first thing I think is: WHERE'S THE FOOD ?.

I walk towards the kitchen and I find a tray in which, there is a magnificent breakfast set, then I see a note, it must surely be fifi.

'' Bri ', I went to my mother, since I woke up earlier, I made you this breakfast, I hope you will enjoy it.

Your fifi. ''

I wash my hand, and walk towards my tray that I attack you as if I had not eaten for 10 years.

After I finish eating, I put the tray in the dishwasher.

I sit on the sofa and turn on the TV but my ideas are elsewhere, I think of Pippi, I wonder how it went with her mother.

Suddenly, the door of the suite suddenly opens so I turn around and there what I see shatters my heart in a thousand shards, I look at fifi in tears completely torn, my heart tightens, I take her in my arms, put her down on the sofa and close the front door of the suite I hate to see my Fifi like that, I would rather ask her what happened now, she has to calm down and explain it to me on her own, I take her in my arms, stroke her hair then she falls asleep like a baby.

I'll take a sheet from my room and cover it with it. I need to do something to cheer him up because the job will start tomorrow.

AIDAN

I have just left the house of jalen and he is next to me, ready to meet my sister, he makes me laugh, to play the tough guys, while he is afraid to meet her.

- Stop being scared like that man, it's not like you have an exam, I say so that he relaxes a bit.

Cm

- Who told you that I have an exam ', I'm a guy, a real one so why be afraid of a serious girl ?!

- HaHa calm down, I'm kidding, I said we arrived.

We enter the house and hear a person crying.

And to top it off, Jalen jumps into my arms, I know he's scared, but that's exaggerating.

- Leave in my arms, I thought you were a guy, a real one, I repeated so that he remembers what he said to me a few minutes earlier.

- Ok ok, let's go see who's crying said jalen.

- You're right.

We walk to the living room, and I see my mother crouching on the floor crying, I run to her.

- Mom, why are you crying?

- Fa .... Faith.

-What did faith do? I asked incredulously.

She told me the whole story, the reason why they quarreled is ridiculous, but my mother is wrong to have doubts about Faith.

- Mom, you should never have doubted faith and excuse me but she was right, the way you were two years ago was deplorable. But she always believed that you were going to get out of it, during that time, she was working, studying to take care of herself and us from a distance, but she went a little hard on why you are her mother, she had probably said it because she was angry.

- I don't know what to do, Aidy.

- You will have to apologize to her, we all know her and it is impossible for her to do things that you will not like, because she promised daddy, to always follow justice.

- I'm ashamed of myself, I could never look her in the face again, I who gave birth to her doubts her.

- Mom, it's okay, try calling her and tomorrow you can go to dinner.

- That's what I'm going to do, thank you Aidy.

- You're welcome mummy.

She smiles, I like it when there is a happy atmosphere in the house except when I was arguing with my father.

- Uh mom, jalen was there, I forgot to tell you, come on jalen, come on, my mother does not bite, you know her right?

- Of course, man.

He stepped forward, embarrassed to have heard us.

- Oh son, don't be embarrassed she said, grabbing his cheeks like a kid.

- Hey mom, don't forget that I am your son.

- I know very well oudou.

- Ah mom stop calling me like that.

She smiles again.

- Come, have breakfast with me.

- With pleasure, we say in chorus (me and jalen).

Obviously, there is something with Faith, but what?

FAITH

I woke up in Brian's arms, covered with a sheet.

When I stand up, Brian also stands up and then I hug him, remembering what happened.

- Everything is going to be fine Fifi

- I hope Bri '.

- I'll explain what happened.

- I listen to you and if there is something that you do not want to say, I agree and I will support you.

-Thank you bri '.

- Do not worry.

- I arrived at the house, she greeted me, then I told her the news and she asked me what work I do and I told her that I won't tell, I asked her if she had trust me, and she says yes to me but she doubts me about my job, maybe i work in illegal projects but what disappointed me was when she said to me that she doubted me, I was broken, so full of anger, I spat her past for two years in her face and then I left, and I started crying again.

"Don't worry, I know it's gonna be okay," Brian said, stroking my hair.

-I know but I don't want to talk to him anymore.

- Fifi, tell me the truth, you knew how your mother was going to react and you took the opportunity to get away from her.

- Yes Brian I say, lowering my head.

- Hey, don't lower your head, I know I have to scold you but I won't because I know you did it to protect them but you, how are you feeling?

- Very badly, badly but I must have this character of hard woman without heart to be able to succeed my mission and to lighten my aching heart.

- I know, wipe me, these tears, you are a hard woman of character, you must not give up any more, promise me that you must never give again, promised?

- Promised, tomorrow, I'll be another person, but I beg your forgiveness in advance for tomorrow because my demons will take my place at the office and I will be uncontrollable.

- I know and I forgive you, come we are going to have fun at the amusement park, today the weather is nice, we are not going to stay in the house.

- exactly, I'm going to put on a jogging suit.

- Quickly.

- Yes Yes.

I go to my room taking a black jogging set where the sweater is in a short-sleeved crop top, with my white puma, I tie my hair in a ponytail leaving rebellious locks.

-i'm ready to go, I say

- let's go, said Brian

We get in Brian's Jeep, ready to have fun like never before, I want to forget, forget everything.

***

It was so cool, we played almost all the games in the park, we had ice cream, ordered that we devoured.

I thanked Brian.

I am lying on my bed, ready to close my eyes leaving room for my previous demons.
