Bedding My Vampire Mate

"Yeah the swine has found her match and they happen to be of the same class hahaha…," Sophie laughed hysterically.

Tiffany smiled as she carried her sunglasses from where she kept them and put them on.

"It\'s good to see that she is finally accepting her reality instead of trying to touch where her hands cannot reach," An evil grin appeared on Tiffany\'s face as she zoomed off leaving Joanna to continue what she was doing in peace.

Meanwhile, as Joanna and Kayden were talking on the street, back at Audrey\'s apartment, she was lying on the bed when someone knocked at her door.

"Just a minute, I am coming," Audrey shouted when the knock sounded for the second time.

When Audrey opened the door and realised that her mother was the visitor, she refused to get out the door.

"Mummy, what are you doing…,"

"Is that the first question you are supposed to ask me or were you supposed to invite me in and offer me a seat before you start asking me questions?" Mrs Lopez replied, looking very upset.

"I would have loved to invite you in but unfortunately I was about to…," Mrs Lopez who knew exactly what Audrey wanted to say pushed her out of the door and entered the house.

Audrey quickly closed the door and ran to catch up to her mother.

Today was Mrs Lopez\'s first time entering Audrey\'s house. The first thing she did was to take a careful look at the room.

Audrey\'s apartment wasn\'t huge nor was it small, it was just perfect for a girl like her.

It contained a sitting room, kitchen she has never made use of, bathroom, restroom and bedroom.

The interior design of the room wasn\'t the best. Apart from the three paintings hanging on the grey wall and the flower pot laid on the brown table, there were no other decorations worth mentioning.

"Is this the place where a lady lives?" Mrs Lopez asked, frowning.

"How come it\'s so plain and lifeless…,"

"That is because this whole set-up depicts my life back then perfectly. My life was plain and sad but thank goodness to Anna who returned and add some sweetness to it," Audrey replied casually as she sat on one of the couches.

Mrs Lopez didn\'t speak immediately, she went and sat on the empty couch opposite Audrey\'s.

"Weren\'t you rebellious and moved out of the house in anger because your friend was no longer around. Now she is back won\'t you return home to stay with your parents…,"

"Mummy when you want to talk I will advise that you said the words correctly to avoid misunderstanding," Audrey said but not sounding rude to her mother.

"I didn\'t leave the house because Anna was gone. The reason I left the house which you and Dad are both aware of is that none of you believed what I said, not to mention supporting me…," Audrey trailed.

Although it was all in the past she still felt hurt when she recalled the past.

She was treated as a psycho by everyone including her family just because she told the truth.

The most provoking part was that those whom she thought would always take her side decided not to take her side, why?

"I was forced to move out of the house when you and Dad tried to prevent me from taking revenge on those evil people. That is exactly what happened if you had forgotten".

Her parents didn\'t only forbid her from taking revenge but they even went as far as locking her up.

She wasn\'t only mad at herself but also furious with everyone and that is why she decided to move out of the house so that she would have the freedom to avenge her friend however she wanted.

Thank goodness for the savings she made all these years, she was able to achieve the goal of living an independent life.

"Whatever might be the reason I don\'t care, what I want to hear you say is that you are going to return home with me," Mrs Lopez said sternly.

"Your father has missed you a lot…,"

"Mummy, you know that it\'s just impossible for me to return home. Also, I will be turning 19 years old in a few months. I have long passed the age of living independently…,"

"Hey Audrey Lopez, how could you say that to me huh?" Mrs Lopez said angrily standing up from where she sat.

"Is that how you will repay me for the years I have raised you and everything I and your father have done for you?" Mrs Lopez instead of calming down got angrier as she talked.

She walked to where Audrey sat unmoved by her words.

"When other girls wore dresses and dolled themselves up and you chose to wear trousers and act like a boy, your father and I let you be. We didn\'t force you into doing what you dislike…," Mrs Lopez trailed emotionally.

"During the past 18 years, we raised you in the best way we could and we gave you whatever you wanted so why…,"

"Yeah, it\'s true you and Dad raised and gave me all the love and care any parent could ever offer. You gave me whatever I wanted but the truth is you and Dad failed to give me what I longed for the most…," Audrey said emotionally.

There was sadness in her eyes as she spoke.

"Which was accepting my best friend for who she was," Audrey said as she stood up and walked away from where her mother stood.

"If you both had treated her a bit different from others and given her even a tiny bit of love from the share of love you showered me with…," Audrey sniffed to fight back the tears.

"Maybe if you and Dad had accepted my idea of adopting her back then when she was just a little harmless girl she wouldn\'t have had to suffer so much. She wouldn\'t have been pushed to her death after being deprived of love and care all her life," Audrey poured out all her heart.

All the things she wasn\'t able to say all these years she was finally able to let out today and it felt quite good.
