Angel was your son, and you loved him,to the moon and back. You knew he wouldn't keep secrets from you, or you thought so. Angel never told you about Valentino, he couldn't bring himself to do it, always expecting the worse from you.

As soon as Angel got home from, he ran up the stairs as he slammed the door behind him. locking himself in. This was wasn't the first he's done this so you left him alone at first. But, he's your son, why wouldn't you check on him. You sat there and pondered, after a few minutes, you decided to check on him, so you went up stairs to his door and knocked.

Silence

You knocked again until you heard a groan "Back off, ma. I want to be alone." He sounded very irritated and both exhausted. You noticed that he left the door slightly opened, so you walked in slowly.

Walking inside, you saw his room, destroyed. Wine glasses and clothes everywhere, pieces of glass here and there from Angels broken mirror, it was dark, the only thing lighting the room was the dim pink light from the cracked lamp on the nightstand. You squinted your eyes as a pile of blankets on the bed, wait... No. It was Angel, with his face buried in heart-shaped pillow and his fours arms wrapped around him. It broke your heart, seeing him in this state.

"Mama, please... I-I said I wanted to be alone.. I had a very hard day at work... Leave." He said harshly, as he let out a low growl, he didn't even raise his head, he just curled up even tighter, but he didn't mean it, he was too tired. He was really in a horrible state right now.
