( Jaxon)
“ hi do you mind if I join you?” Amy asked and I shook my head no. She entered the bedroom and closed the door then sat down on the bed beside me.
“ I know we haven’t started out on the right path since you got here and I just came home from visiting my friend which is why I wasn’t here to talk to you. I saw some things on f*******: and I knew you must be feeling down because of what is being said about you. I know they aren’t true Jaxon because I know who you are. You are special, someone who was put on this earth to do great things. This might be a downfall for you right now but what I would suggest is for you to get up and dust yourself off and say to the world that you’ll make it. No matter how much they might hate you, never let them get to you. I’m always here for you if you need me jaxon, just call me and I’ll be here for you.” With that she gave me a hug and left the room. I have had so many time to think, to reflect on my life and what I’ve achieved so far. I haven’t been cutting and that’s one step closer to getting better. I covered up the ‘unwanted’ word my mother etched into my hip so I don’t see it as a reminder as to what I went through while living with them. I admit though, I went back to thinking about killing myself at one point but what good would that be? Another knock was sounded on the door and Danny walked in with a guilty look on his face. He sat down beside me and ran his hand through his hair.
“ I want to tell you I’m sorry for the way I’ve been acting lately. Getting drunk and having a different girl every night really wasn’t something I planned on doing but I did it anyway and for that blamed myself for making you worry about me. I’m so sorry for what happened and I’d like to make it up to you.” I smiled and nodded my head and he smiled in return.
“ tomorrow I’m planning on visiting mom and asking her a few questions with sebastian and I want you to come with us so you can get closure. I know somehow you still love them but once you hear it from mom or Mary as I’m supposed to be calling her since she’s no mother to me or you then you will stop loving her and barry so much like you still do. Barry is out of prison and hiding god knows where and I hope he doesn’t come after you because I’ll kill him if he lays a hand on you.” The next day we woke up and got ready to go visit my mom. I dreaded this day, but I knew it was something I need to do in order to get closure.
“ ready baby?” Sebastian asked and I nodded my head. He carried me to the car in my wheelchair, then started it. Daniel was in the back seat while I sat at the passenger side next to Sebastian since he was driving. We were going to be on the road for a lot of hours so I guess I could use this as some sort of road trip. I glanced out of the window and saw the scenery passing by and sighed at how beautiful it looked, so peaceful. I wish I could say the same about myself because I felt like a battle going on inside me that I couldn’t control.
I fell asleep after a while and woke up when I realize we were pulling up to my mom’s house. We got out and Sebastian and Danny helped me in the wheelchair.
“ let’s get this over and done with.” Danny says and we walked up to the front door. He rang the doorbell and shortly after my mother answered it and at first she had a shocked look on her face but when she saw us, she changed it to anger.
“ what do you want?” She asked and I looked down and sighed.
“ we only want to ask you a few questions Mary, well mostly Jaxon so we can go on our way.” She stepped outside and didn’t even bother inviting us inside.
“ then ask them and get the hell away from here.” Danny looked like he was getting angry because of her attitude but I only want to do this and get it over with so I never have to come back here again.
“ what did jaxon ever do to you for you and barry to treat him so poorly?” Sebastian asked and I looked up, listening for my mother’s answer.
“ for Barry he has a good reason because I cheated on him and Jaxon is not his real son and as for me I just don’t want jaxon around me because he’s nothing but bad luck and I can’t stand the fact that he’s handicap.” She snickered and looked down at me and shook her head.
“ well double handicap seeing as he’s now in a wheelchair.” Danny and Sebastian growled at the same time and my eyes became wide.
“ why do you have to be so cruel? So heartless!?” Danny shouts and she had the nerve to look sad.
“ I don’t know why you came here when you know how I feel about him Daniel. You were my prize and will always be my prize and Barry’s as well. We will forgive you if you come home. I know Barry is missing right now, but I know he will still love you if you come back to us.” Tears started falling from my eyes as I listen to my mother speak.
“ d-did y-you e-ever l-love me? A-At a-all?” I asked and I She looked at me with disgust.
“ never, I never wanted you as my son. You are nothing but a disgrace to this family.” I wiped my tears away and looked at a shocked looking Sebastian.
“ n-no m-matter w-what I s-still l-love y-you a-and d-dad.” I told them I was ready and they brought me back to the car and drove off.
(Sebastian)
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Jaxon’s mother treating him like s**t and treasuring Danny right in front of his face. I glanced at jaxon every now and then to make sure he was alright since he didn’t say anything since we left. He and Danny were only half brothers but that didn’t mean anything. It seems as if he was slowly drifting back into his old self and I made a plan to call Hannah and ask her to come and do a session with him so he can talk about what’s bothering him.
When we got home, Lara was there waiting for us so we took him up to the room. I told her not to give him any massages, just do her regular exercises with him because I was the only one who was suppose to be giving him massages. I left them and went to call Hannah to tell her what happened and she said she would be over once his pt leaves. I sighed and sat down at the kitchen drinking some coffee while my mind went over what happened earlier over and over again.
“ aww son what have you here sulking away?” Mom asked as she steps inside the house and came straight towards the kitchen while taking out a bottle of water out of the fridge. I told her what happened and she was shocked that Mary could say that about jaxon.
“ that boy is so wonderful I don’t know how they can’t see that. I hope you are spoiling him rotten and loving him enough to take his mind off things.” I nodded my head and smiled at her. Lara came rushing down the stairs while calling out for me and I ran up to her.
“ come see this! Sebastian come see this!” She shouted and I ran towards my room where jaxon was. When I got there I was shocked because he was actually walking on his own without any crutches to help him. Danny stood there with Amy and they both had a shocked looks on their faces. He was limping a little, but he hasn’t fallen as yet which was a good sign. He only seem out of breath which was understandable.
“ what happened?” I asked Lara who had tears in her eyes as well as my mother.
“ I don’t know, one minute I was helping him up so he can practice his walk and next minute he says that he has to do this for his mom, he says that he has to show them that he’s not handicap so they can love him.” I felt my heart broke for him since there was no mending his relationship with his parents. He has to realize that they don’t want him anymore and move on.
“ s-seb d-did y-you s-see m-me?” He asked, excitement lacing his tone.
“ yes baby I saw you, I’m so proud of you. Can you come over here so I can hug you?” I asked and he nodded his head then started making his way over to me with a smile on his face. When he got to me, I hugged him and sighed from the way he fits perfectly in my arms.
“ I’m so proud of you baby, so proud of you.” He nodded his head against my chest before looking up at me with those beautiful blue eyes of his. I don’t care who’s in my room right now, I took his mouth with mine and gave him a kiss of a lifetime. When we were done, I saw everyone looking at us and Jaxon started blushing.
“ you guys didn’t even have the curtesy to leave while I was making out with my boyfriend?” I asked and they all started laughing.
“Nope you guys are just so cute together we couldn’t look away for a minute!” Mom gushed which had me blushing along with Jaxon. We helped him some more until he said he was tired and needed some sleep but I told him about his session with Hannah and somehow he became reserved.
“ baby you have to talk to her about how you feel, you can’t bottle everything up inside and hope it will all go away.” After I explained things to him, he agreed with seeing her and I breathed a sigh of relief. I know we have a long road of recovery ahead of us since it’s not just his legs that’s messed up but also his mind. He might be able to walk again but what would happen to his mind if we don’t do something right now? Talking to someone is the best way to go and I hope he gets better fully so I can take our relationship to the next step.
