Chapter 11

"Ana my daughter looks beautiful, she looks like a princess." 

"Mom, less, right, we are in public and you treat me like this, I look like a baby, spare me this shame!" 

"Come on, then I'll just thank your father for taking care of you during the time I was away. 

"And the least, right, Mom is changing the subject, where is your mysterious husband in? 

"You'll see him when we get home!" 

  

I said goodbye to my father and I could see how much he didn't want me to move back in with my mother. During the time we spent together I got to know him better and found out what an amazing guy he was, because he was totally the opposite of what my mother had said. On the way I tried to ask my mother why she was holding back so much to reveal who my stepfather was, but she said nothing, she kept quiet all the way home.  

"How nice to be home, isn't it Mom?" 

"Yes, Ana I missed you a lot, now everything will be different, I promise!" 

My mother was very strange, but anyway, when I opened the door I found Mr. Filipe, Brian's father, and at this moment I was totally paralyzed. 

"What are you doing here Mr. Filipe?" 

"Daughter, Filipe and I are married!" 

"You have to be kidding me, right?" - Ana, no, and your mother and I got married for real!"

I couldn't move trying to imagine that my mother married my boyfriend's father. He never accepted our relationship, and always picked on me when I brought up the subject of dating, saying that it would only bring me disgrace, and now I come to find out that he married the father of the man who disgraced my life. 

"Look, I don't care what you're doing here, Philip, but I can't believe this! 

"Ana, that's why I made this surprise, I know it's complicated, but there are many things you need to know about Brian." 

"Mr. Filipe I don't want to know anything, your son left me without even saying goodbye or goodbye to me and disappeared and I suffered a lot alone while my mother was getting involved with you. 

"I'm sorry for what Brian did to you!" 

"I mean my mother never wanted my relationship with him to work out and now we are brothers right since she is married to my mother I bet you mother is overjoyed about it." 

"Daughter, it's not like that I've always cared about your feelings." 

"Bullshit, where were you when I needed you? I know, having sex with my boyfriend's father!" 

By the time I said that to my mother, he slapped me across the face and I couldn't hold back the tears. I didn't want to believe this now Brian was my brother and why didn't he come to me to tell me about it, I bet he liked that too. No one cares about me and my feelings, they only think about themselves and I can really screw myself. 

How could they do this to me? For someone who always said that love was something that didn't exist, it was really strange and hard to believe! I went up to my room, there was a bunch of presents and I started to throw them all out the window, I didn't want this and nothing that could come from them. 

****** 

Meanwhile. 

"Philip what are we going to do now?" - Easy, we will give her time and complicated as I know she has always liked my son, it won't be easy for her!" 

"I know Filipe she judges me for not accepting their courtship, but Ana was too young, I didn't want her to suffer!" 

"We will be fine let her she needs time don't worry now I am here on your side!" 

**** 

While my mother was living the best moment of her life everything that was already asleep came up like a movie in my head and soon came the memories of Brian that I didn't want to remember anymore, now with his father here everything will be possible until his emergence again. 

I wanted to be a little bird at this time and fly far away and never come back. My mother could marry whoever she wanted but Brian's father. I hated them so much that I couldn't breathe right, it was a pain in my heart that wouldn't let me breathe right, I thought I was going to die. I immediately called Lais needed to talk to someone or I was going to explode, they couldn't have done it, not like this. 

Now Brian and I were brothers, what would I do if one day he came here to see his father? How was I going to act treating him like my brother, when that was never what I wanted! Why didn't you tell me before, do everything behind my back, and now you want me to accept it just like that?

"Is Lais is home?" - "Yes, why, is she back from a trip already?" - "Yes, I just arrived! I really need to talk to you, I wonder if you can meet me in a few minutes." 

"What happened?" - "When we meet you will know just go I need you friend!" 

As I was leaving my mother tried to talk to me, but she was so upset that she wanted no idea. It could even be selfish of me, but it was complicated for me, even more so because I was trying to forget everything that I had experienced with Brian and now I know that he could show up at any moment.  

"My God, what a situation and this that I am living looking like this it seems like a movie!" 

As soon as I arrived at the meeting with Lais, she knew right away that things could get very ugly, so without saying anything she hugged me and I cried a lot. I wasn't like this because my mother got married, but because she lied to me and hid me. Maybe if she had told me that she was getting involved with Brian's father, none of this would have happened, I would be acting normal.  

I understand that my relationship with Brian was not meant to be anymore, I, didn't think about it when I was younger and now I see it differently. I stayed a few minutes hugging with my friend even though she was annoying, but she was always on my side and a friend like that forever. Then I recovered and told her everything that was happening and if I was in shock imagine her? We tried somehow to find a way out, but there was no way out if I could I would live alone and erase them from my mind.
