In Your Eyes

Rylie's P.O.V

I rolled my eyes as mom started fixing my white suit...

This is what I'm going to wear today for the engagement ceremony...

I should definitely calm myself down because my plan didn't start yet, I don't want my plan to be ruined so let's be a good...

"You look perfect..." Mom said and smiled.

"I know..." I bluntly said. I don't have time for this!

"Rylie, when will you change hmm? As far as I remember, you always follow what I want before but now... I don't know you anymore..." Mom said. Here we go again...

Rylie, calm your self down... Don't ruin the plan...

"You should know the reason... You're good at it..." I said. Yeah, that should do...

"Days by days you become disrespectful... Why don't you be like your cousin?" Damn, here we go again with the comparing stuff...

"Ghino is smart, a good actor and a good son... He didn't give headaches to his mother... Tell me rylie, what is wrong with you—" THATS IT!

"You know who's fault it is!" I angrily said which startled her...

"W-what are you talking about? I've done nothing—"

"Nothing? Mom, can you hear yourself? Why do you think I'm acting this way towards you?"

"I don't know! That's why I'm asking you!" Mom angrily said.

"What is happening here?" We both looked at the person who spoke...

It's mom's new husband...

I don't even want to know his name so fuck it...

"Tell your soon to be wife to stay away from me... Can you do it?" I sarcastically said.

I saw how expression changed as his fist tightly gripped and his eyes focused to mine...

Mom panicked as she walked towards him and started to calm her husband down...

"Derick... Calm down... I can handle my son alone..." Mom said.

"Oh? Really? As far as I can remember, ever since you and dad parted ways... You don't care about anything else other than yourself and your career... Just remember that I don't even want to be your son in the first place, so you can't handle me..." I said.

She thinks she can control everyone, unlucky her because I won't be...

My mom startled as her husband pushed her away, walked towards me and punched me straight to my cheek...

That pain made me fell on the floor and tasted my own blood...

Aggressive eh?

"Derick! Calm down!" Mom yelled as she pushed him and helped me stand up...

"He started first! He disrespect me!" This moron said.

Mom didn't care what he said and just focused on me...

The way mom gently touched my cheek felt like a slight comfort with a slight pain of the past...

I can't even explain it, all I know is that I still hate her...

"Rylie, are you okay?" Mom asked.

"What do you think?" I sarcastically asked and pushed her hand away from my cheek...

I hate it...

"Fix his attitude! I don't want any embarassment today!" That man said and left the room...
