Urgh. Seriously. Why do people keep bringing up Jackson?!
Jackson is part of my past. Kael is my future.
"Jackson is with his father."
"But you're his mother."
"Not anymore. His father is more than capable of taking care of him."
"Don't you care about your own flesh and blood?"
URGH. SHUT UP ALREADY, I screamed in my head.
I needed to find a way to close this chapter once and for all. The last thing I needed was for the topic of Jackson and Antonio to interfere with my relationship with Kael.
I'd been thinking for months about how to solve the Jackson or Antonio problem, but I hadn't come up with any good solutions.
Then, suddenly, it hit me right when I needed it most.
Sure, it was a little cliché and definitely overused, but who was going to have the guts to call me out on it?
I buried my face in my hands and forced myself to cry.
"Are you okay, honey? What's wrong?"
"Mom… it's just… Jackson. Every time someone brings him up… it's so hard for me.
