Final Decision
I Was Completely Okay... Until I Met the Choi Brothers
"Emma, I'm sorry." My mom said to me as Mason and I looked at the coffee table, speechless. "I'm sorry, Mason. Both of you."
I held back my tears. I couldn't cry. This was the choice. This was the decision.
"I can't believe you're taking us from the people that actually love us." Mason growled at our Mom.
"This is so you all can be safe."
"Until you buy a plane ticket for him to come home!" Mason shouted. He was in tears.
I kept my head down. We were leaving. I was leaving all my friends. I was leaving everything, just so my little brothers and sister could be safe.
I was giving up my happiness.
"Wh-why are you doing this? Why can't you just stay away from him and still live here? I like it here! Emma likes it here!" Mason exclaimed.
"I know." Mom nodded solemnly. "But I feel like there's no other way. We'll be more comfortable back home, you know?"
"This is my home." Mason insisted. "My friends are my home." He got up and hurried upstairs.
My mom sighed. "Emma-"
"Don't talk." I managed, holding up my hand. I looked at her. "The only reason we're doing this is for Ayden and Alexa. You do not realize I'm giving up pretty much my whole life now. The one person I love... Im leaving him. And we just got together." I shook my head and stood. "When I graduate, I'm so out of that house. I'm coming back, and you can't tell me not to."
I started away, tears going down my face, and my mom tried to call me back. "Emma. Emma, please wait. I know my parenting skills have been-"
I spun around. "Terrible?! Disgusting? Yeah, we all know! You let him hurt Mason and me, then denied it ever happened! Moms are suppose to protect their children." I pointed at her. "You better do a hell of a better job taking care of Ayden and Alexa, because don't you think I won't take them with me when I'm gone. You can be their mother, but you sure aren't a mother to me anymore."
