Promise of Love (Ch. 7)

I still giggled under my breath, trying not to let myself laugh that could get myself in worse trouble. The deep voice roared, “What the heck were you, Lynn? What are you doing in here with him alone with him?” I still stood in front of the boat with a cover with my astonished eyes with my anger falling deep inside her body. My butterflies soared around my stomach once again. I hate that feelings! My parents supposed to know that Jake was my best friend and lover but I didn’t think so that they could trust Jake at all anymore. Come on, I thought, as I scoffed lightly. Slowly, I turned around to face my parents. I wanted to scream so badly at them but I didn’t know what to do. I waited for their reply. My memories flew around on my mind again that hurt me deep on the inside. I never wanted them once again with such the bad memories with my parents. I loved them. Don’t get me wrong. I loved them but I just hated their rule so much being strict with me.

My mother, Georgia, screamed at the full volume at me that I was not supposed to be out of the house and decided to punished me right away. My ears were filling of the screams that gave me another headache. I was calmed as an angel as I was waiting for her scream to end. The words repeatedly reviewed in my brain what she said that hurt me in the most of time. As I sighed and still stood beside Jake, holding his hand. Staring at my deep, fury eyes, I was ready to speak out. “Mom, you don’t have to scream at me just like that.” I snapped it out in an irritation as I was cooling down. “Look, you’ve known Jake since we were seven years old. Enough of your screams. I am tired of your rules. I am tired of everything you had caused me pain.” I chuckled at my first day, Jake and I met, as I shook her head softly. “Look, Mom, Jake is my best friend and you have no rights to dispose him. He is my love and life.” As Georgia gasped and screamed once more, “How could you say that?”

My father, Joe, wrapped around her shoulder and whispered, “Just let her go. She’s seventeen years old enough to decide on her own.”

Jake asked me if I was okay. My eyes were filling the tears to drop out of my wounded eyes. I nodded and hugged him tightly enough to feel warmth of his body toward her. I loved every time I felt around him. He was my angel guardian. That’s all the matter I felt around him. Safe. He was only the way I could feel everyday of my life since I was age of seven! It was unbelievable for my mother not to believe in my belief and opinions.

They whispered as much as I could hear them to talk about us as a couple.

I was still holding Jake around his waist as my head leaned against his chest.

My parents were walking toward me as close as they could speak to me well. My dad was graciously nodding his head once to Jake and he shook his hand to him, but I noticed he was confused as heck as he couldn’t understand why. I knew what he meant. It meant he accepted him as my boyfriend more than just a best friend. My mom was still sad but she realized that she had to understand that we were a couple.
