The blood drained on Mrs Reeds face,leaving it pale in complexion after she overheard snippets of the conversation.

She figured something was wrong but couldn't place her hands on it.

She moved closer to him,"Tell me the truth,Mason.Is Peyton really in trouble?Is she?"

Mason scowled."Mom,don't fall for her tricks again.Peyton's incredibly resilient,so she won't die so easily!"

His mother trembled with anger."Even if you don't love her anymore,there's no need to be so cruel!"

He cut her off."For the past two months,she's used saving me to guilt trip you into letting me marry her.She warmed her way into your heart with her cheap lies and tricks and you fell for it."

"And I obviously won't be surprised if the car accident was part of her plans all along!"He added,seething in rage as he stood before his mother.Mrs Reeds wasn't having it and came to my defense in an instant.

"Boy!!Watch your tone when speaking with me.I'm your mother and not some skank that you picked up,"she said,taking a step further."And you will shut up when I tell you to do so.Do you hear me?"

My head throbbed again.Watching mother and son exchange words with each other for my sake caused my heart to ache.
