Heat

(Ashely's POV)

My mom closed the door behind her as she walked further into the room. I sat on the edge of my bed waiting for her to get on with it but she just stood there awkwardly looking around. 

"Look, mom, I'm really tired," I said as she sighed, "I know, but I want to make things right between us," she said before taking a seat beside me, "This morning, I was wrong for hitting you and I regret it so much, but I wish you'd be nicer to Roger as it will make me happy," she said as I stared back at her in disbelief before shifting away from her and before I could speak, she continued.

"And I know, I was being selfish, I am being selfish and I know I should've come and discussed this with you and hear your concerns and opinion before I made this big decision, but I didn't and I regret it so much because you're suffering and I promised your father that I would take care of you in the best way I could," She said as we both began to tear up.

"Why didn't you, mom?" I asked as she sighed deeply, "Because it was the last thing on my mind, after your father died it broke something in me and I hated the pain it brought with it," she said as I stared at her in awe. I never really knew how much my mom suffered when my dad died and now that I know, it stabbed me right in the heart. 

"Ashely, I love your father and I could never replace the type of love he gave to me but I couldn't bear the pain anymore so I went out and found myself a distraction, and then the unexpected happened, I fell in love,' she said as we smiled weakly at each other, "But no other man could replace your father and no other man could ever give me what your father gave to me and you know what that is, sweetheart?" She asked as I shook my head.

"You, my love," she replied and that did it. I threw myself into her arms as I sobbed into her chest while she stroked my hair, "I'm sorry, mommy," I cried as she softly shushed me, "I'm sorry too, sweetheart, she said as I moved back with a smile on my face while wiping my tears. 

"Let's make a pact, mom, no more secrets, no more enduring feelings alone," I said as she smiled before nodding, "Shall we seal it?" I asked as her eyes widened, "You remembered?" She asked as I nodded, "Of course I remembered, it was our thing," I said as she smiled before we did our mom and daughter handshake.

We created this handshake when I was 9-years-old and we still got it. Laughter filled my room and honestly, I missed my mom, she's my best friend. I ended up telling her about Jay.

"Uh, uh, Ash, he sounds like trouble, but I'm glad he's making you happy, and don't ever go down to that racing ground, what on earth was Anna thinking?" She asked while tucking a strand of hair behind my ear, "Don't worry, mom, I'm never going down there again," I said before my door opened revealing Roger.

"Jake's been arrested,"
