Heart of the Past

Dylan POV

When Amelia left, I turned to face my mother and asked her about what Amelia said.

“Is she telling the truth? “I asked in a low tone. If she said no I’ll just go to my bed and cut Amelia off my life but if she says yes then I don’t know what I’ll do.

“I was trying to protect you son”

I wasn’t satisfied with my mother’s reply. I had to know the truth. “Is she telling the truth or not? “I asked again cause I didn’t know what I might do if she says yes.

“Son, listen to me I was only trying to protect you. She is not the girl for you. I had to get rid of her somehow. “My mother revealed the greatest secret I’ve been dreading to hear.

“You were behind everything mother. How could you lie to me!!! “I shouted and kicked the flower vase that was placed on the floor.

My mother tried to touch me but I stopped her. “Don’t make me do something I’ll regret mother. Do not touch me.”

“Dylan doesn’t forget I’m still your mother. You can’t turn your back on me because of a girl. ”

“You made me spend seven years believing that Amelia was the bad person while clearly, you are the evil one.

“Don’t say that son, I was only protecting you” my mother broke down into tears but I was too angry to care.

I could feel my heart racing. I spent years thinking Amelia was a bad person but she left cause of my mother. She should have informed me at least.

“You separated us because you were trying to protect me. You made me hated her for years!! “I yelled and hit my fist to the nearest wall, my hand bled but I didn’t give a damn about myself. If she wasn’t my mother I would have punched her in the face, she was lucky to be my mother.

“What going on here? Oh my God, Dylan, you are bleeding. Rebecca, what happened here? “My grandmother Stella asked as she walked down the stairs to meet us. She grabbed my hand and examined it. “Dylan, what happened? ”

“Ask my mother, she had ruined my life and I hope she is happy” I shouted and walked out of the house.

I got outside and let out a scream, I fell on my knees and cried as I remembered how I had treated Amelia. I was a bastard to her, she didn’t deserve all the pains and troubles she went through. She could have told me about everything. “why?”I screamed out.

I didn’t know how long I was on the ground but the noise from my securities and another person broke me from my trance.

“I’m sorry sir, you can’t go in. Stop”I could hear my securities arguing with someone. I stood up from where I was and walked over to them. It was no other person than Larry.

“Larry! “I called out his name. What was he doing here?. “Larry”I called again. Larry charged at me and landed a punch on my face. I probably deserved that but I had no idea why he was punching me.

“Let’s me go! So that I can kill this bastard. “Larry struggled to break free from the securities who held him down after he punched me.

I spat out the blood in my mouth and signal for the securities to leave him. As they released Larry he walked to me and gave me another punch. The securities tried to hold him but I raised a hand for them to let him be.

“You bastard! All she ever did was love you. What finally happened? You ruin her life! “Larry grabbed me by the collar and punched my face again and again.

Blood was already dripping down my face by now but I didn’t care. Yes, I ruined her life. You heard me right I ruined Amelia’s life.

“What’s is going on here?”I could hear my mother asking as she came outside. She let out a gasp when she saw me. “Dylan!! What happened to your face? “She let out another gasp when she saw Larry. “Larry! what’s did you do?” She yelled.

“Oh really Rebecca, you hate seeing your son hurt but yet you love seeing somebody else hurt, “Larry said.

I raised my head to my mother in confusion. What does he mean by my mother hurt someone?. “Can you explain what Larry means mother? “I inquired stressing on the word mother.

My mother couldn’t say anything, she just bent her head down. “What does Larry means by you hurting someone? “I thundered.

My mother couldn’t say anything as she stood where she was and looking down.

“Oh, now I see what going on here. You don’t know, do you? Your mother is the reason why Luciana got deaf in the first place.”Larry revealed.

I look from Larry to my mother and confirmed the truth. “You were behind it too? “I asked, I walked to her and grab her by the shoulders. “How could you be so wicked, mother?.

“Look I didn’t come here for some mother and son bullshit. I came to finally tell you that you and your mother have finally succeeded in ruining Amelia’s. She got into an accident some hours ago right under your nose Dylan. She was pregnant Dylan! With your child!. I know I shouldn’t tell you but you deserve to know. Anyways Amelia just went to surgery and I don’t know if she would survive or not. “Larry paused and then he continued. “I have informed the police about the accident and if in any way I found out you were involved Rebecca, I’ll make sure you rot in jail.” Larry threatened and then turned to face me. ” if you have some love left for her, don’t show up at the hospital. Have fun getting married tomorrow. Larry said and walked away.

I fell at the confession and shouted. “She was pregnant! Pregnant! And now she is involved in an accident all because of my mother.

“Dylan I’m sorry” my mother begged as she tried to pull me up from the ground. I pushed her hand and she stumbled but regained her balance.

“You are sorry after you ruined our lives! I thought you loved me. How could you mother? “I shouted. My mother burst into tears and I felt pity for her but she didn’t deserve my pity. I stood up from the ground and pointed at her. “Everything is your fault Rebecca and, if I ever find out you were involved in Amelia’s accident I’ll see that you rot in jail. just so you know I’m no longer your son. and the wedding is called off cause it was your idea from the beginning and I never loved Anna anyways.”I declared and walked to where my car was parked. My mother ran after me and begged me to forgive her but I couldn’t bring myself to forgive someone that wasn’t worth it.

“Dylan, Dylan!!! “My mother ran after my car as I drove away.

I had nowhere I was driving to but I just drove to wherever my mind leads me to.

What’s was I going to do to fix this? I parked my car beside the roadside and punched the steering wheel as I cried. It’s all my fault.
