“I only want what’s best for you, Ariel. I just want to see you happy”
“If you want to see me happy, then you wouldn’t be against my relationship with Luke.”
“That’s the problem,” Laura vocalized softly with a slow nod. That’s the problem around here. You’re only being stubborn. You don’t want to listen.”
“As a matter of fact, you’re the one who doesn’t want to listen. I keep on telling you that I
love Luke.”
“But he’s not the right one for you,” Laurs told me promptly. “Luke is not the perfect man for you.”
“And who told you that? Who told you that Luke font perfect for me?” I questioned her, and the both of us could just stare at each other. Disagreements are rising between us.

My mom sat on the edge of the bed, and I settled down next to her. She had both of her hands clasped together.
“Luke, you see, after what happened between us that night, when you got shot, I started feeling guilty. Catherine and I went home, but things weren’t the way they used to be.”

“Hold on a minute
You became a drug addict all because of what you did to me.”
My mom was suspended, her tone broken. “Yes.”
“So, is that why Catherine hates you? Because you weren’t giving her attention?”
“Yes, Luke. And after taking those drugs, I started treating her miserably. I was torturing
her; I was inflicting pain on her. And then, one day, I just had to set the house on fire. I
regret everything, Luke. I regret everything.”
“That’s really fucked up,” I said inaudibly. “Are you still on drugs?”
