never saw it coming ... Options

" you're only a teen, you dont know what love is . stop being ignorant . suck it up, i'm tired of seeing you cry . you dont know anything about hardships . just stop it, i dont have time for any of your nonsense . "

she looked up into the face of the woman who was supposed to be her mentor, her rock on which to lean on . she looked up into the face of her mother . her tearful gaze was returned with a hard glare . those stony eyes, that could chase away a storm . Dear Mommy, why can't you understand ?



" what ? you want to stop working ? you've just been working for me for about ... 2 or 3 weeks ! stress ?! you're a teen, all you do is play, you have no idea what stress is ! no, i refuse to let you take time off, i dont care what you say . and i plan on telling your mother so she can do something about your irresponsible behavior "

she listened to the words of the lady that had used to be the one who had offered her a source of comfort and love . she listened to the words of her cousin . the one who had once loved her endlessly and sheltered her from any physical and emotional hurt . the one whose words now bit at her heart with a vengeance . Dear Cousin, what happened ?




" you dont love me do you ? i'm supposed to be your dad, so how come i'm your last prioriety . all i ask is that you call me once a week . i may be dead for all i care, and you wouldnt even know . what is wrong with you ? i'm your DAD for goodness sake "

she absorbed her father's heavy words . her eyes brimming with tears that were afraid to show . she did love her father, didnt he understand ? it was just hard to show him how she felt, seeing as for the past 15 years, he wasnt exactly always there for her . Dear Daddy, dont you love me ? i'm your DAUGHTER for goodness sake ... start caring about me instead of those women you play around with every night .




" sorry honey, but i had to send my son away for a few months . i know its hard on you, but trust me, its hard for me too . you're only his girlfriend, i'm his mother, i know whats best . if you truly love him, you'd understand, and you'd know this is for the better . he'll be back in a year or so ''

and with that last bit of information, she decided ...

that's the final straw .


and they all say, " we never saw it coming "

Beautiful. I loved how you showed the thought process. And then when they all say, "We never saw it coming" it really shows you how it wasn't just her perception, they really didn't get her.
