My Heart Was Wounded Deep
Chapter 19's

Rey almost ignored the knock on the door the next morning. He stayed up most of the night, it's his day off.

Jason could open the door he thought, Rey closed her eyes again, after all, it was probably one of Jason's friends.

But as the beats continue to sound, Rey remembers Jason wasn't even home.The boy stayed overnight at his best friend Tristan's house.

"Just a second!" he shouted, dragging himself down from the bed.

"Where's your shirt?" his mother's hand when Rey opens the door.

Rey brushed her hair back." It's still a good thing I've been wearing pants" It's a day off mom comes in the morning.

"Have you met him?" ask the mother while walking quickly through rey and into the house.

Rey didn't really want to discuss the matter. Rey knows who she is by her mother, and knows that they will have very different opinions about Kikan. Especially after what he saw last night. Rey hopes the people won't bother her and let her live in peace.

"She took me and Jason to breakfast at just come cafe, why? is that why you came here? Did anyone tell Mom about it?"

" no. But I'm surprised you didn't tell me."

" Do I have to give a report, anyway he just wants to meet his son"

"So... ?"

"So what?"

"How's his attitude?"

They go back to the small details of his first visit with Kikan." He's very polite"

"Of course, he wants to impress you"

" He wants to know his son, he's already saying that clearly, you know?"

"That's what he wants us to believe, don't be fooled. He's hoping to get you first, I'm sure he's eager to rule you now. You know how obsessed he is with you." Rey's mother looked at her son sharply. "You're not going to start anything like that again, are you?"

Now that Rey begins to feel, one of Kikan's actions used to have been exaggerated during this last-year. "He deserves a chance to prove he's changed."

"What would change better than in prison?" sahut.

"Don't make that seem impossible, otherwise why would we let people out of prison?"

"Because there aren't enough cells to lock up the killers. But I didn't come here to argue about the legal system. I wish I could persuade you to consider your attitude, don't be too weak. Maybe he's been through a lot. Who knows what kind of person he met in that place? I don't want her to have a negative influence on Jason, after everything we did to raise Jason properly. "

Rey's getting crap," Mom. Jason is sixteen years old. Almost grown up, we can't protect her forever. "

" At the same time, we have to give him confidence. It is up to him to decide whether he wants his mother in his life. "

" But he doesn't know what's best for him. "

" We don't either, that's the problem! "

" We have more experience to give him a reference to make a decision. "

Sighing, Rey threw her body lazily into the chair opposite her mother." I'm not sure. I'm starting to wonder if we've done anything wrong by separating them. And to be honest, I don't think Kikan is that bad. "

Her mother's eyes widened. "Maybe you need to talk to Lori's family, to be reminded of how much they've suffered for losing their beautiful daughter."

"I sympathize with Lori's family, I know Lori's mother and parents are good friends, that their comfort is important to you, but not just those who suffer. And if Kikan was to be honest about the events of the day, the punishment he received would be completely unfair."

His mother stood up, "Now do you believe he's innocent? "

" Nobody can prove he's guilty or not. "

" Then look at the facts. That's what makes them plead guilty, isn't it? She was jealous when you were dating Lori. That's why he's trying to wipe out the girl's life. It was Kikan's car that hit Lori, and she was the one sitting behind the wheel. There were even witnesses in the vehicle. "

That might lie, but Rey didn't say it, believing the argument would only heat up if they continued to talk about the matter." We don't know exactly what happened, "he insisted.

" What the hell got into you? " Tell her mother." Just last week you wished the whole family would have Kikan go somewhere else."

that was before Rey met Kikan, and before last night's incident.the two meetings had a huge effect on her.it was much easier to hate people who didn't exist. now seeing how contrasting people really are and the monsters they create in their minds, Rey understands that negative comments and people's opinions have ignited fears within her that may be unfounded.

" I probably don't want him back. I wrote him a letter and I delivered it." Rey did not say that it was a letter she wished she had never sent. But this town is his home, like ours too.he can come here if he wants, and there's nothing we can do to get in his way."

" So you've decided? you're gonna support her and Jason's relationship?"

" If that's what Jason wants, yeah, unless Kikan does something that seems wrong."

" When that happens, it's too late. "

" That's the risk I'm gonna have to take"

Rey remembers shopping with Devan. His mother would not be happy if she knew they were trying to help Kikan, but Rey did not regret it. giving Kikan the items he needed felt Rey was the right action.
