124 | Family
Elleonora's pov:
I watched him carefully and once his eyes landed in the monitor I saw his expression change drastically. "Shit" he muttered, he looked at me instantly and my eyebrows ceased at his discontent, who could it be?
"Who is it, son?" My grandmother asked
"Uh... it's... my parents...and my brother"
"What?" I said spontaneously
"Oh wonderful invite them to eat too!" Nana proposed
"Oh no, that is not happening" I commanded
"Why?"
"I should tell them to go" Blaze suggested
"Yeah do that!" I exclaimed
"No! Invite them!" Nana objected
"Look grandma! These people are not— how can I explain this?"
"Blaze is family and they are his family , so it's our family too"
"I really don't consider them as such" he murmured to himself but my grandma didn't catch it
"Bring them over for a meal. You two have been married and we never met"
"For a reason" I mentioned, already pissed by my Nana's stubbornness
"Call them up, nieto" Nana ordered
(grandson)
Blaze nodes not convinced of what he was about to do but still did it anyway, he clicked the button, granting permission for his family to come up.
Oh my lord, please let this meeting be peaceful.
I could understand his look from meters away, he was unsure about this situation and so was I, but there wasn't anything to hide, we just hoped this turned out well.
The elevator door opened and my heart rate rose as I saw the familiar faces. For a moment everything looked fine they were highly concentrated on Blaze who was in front of the elevator they started to hug him and tell him how much they'd missed him. I presume none of them expects to see me here and I also expect some disapproval after realizing I did came back.
"Oh my son, you look much better now! Was it the soup that I brought?" Martha questioned as she cupped her son's face "I bet it was.... he was so pallid, the last time I saw him, Thomas!"
"Well he looks fine to me"
"He looks handsome now" Sarah commented with a smile, oh how could I forget about that psycho?
"But I can still overcome him," Damien said with a smug, god he was so self-centered and vain that it made my insides hurt. He must have sensed my deep gaze because he was the first to deviate his look from Blaze to the kitchen and his eyes fell directly upon me earning a grin from his side "Well look who's here" The grin turned into a smirk and the rest of the family looked at the kitchen realizing they weren't alone.
"Elleonora?" Sarah muttered, ah look at her she knows my name
"What? What is she doing here?" Martha question dumbfounded... oh boy here we go
"Mom, Dad... Damien, Sarah, This is Elleonora's family..." Blaze tried to introduce while my Nana being herself interrupted him and got out of the kitchen to say her greeting properly
"I'm the grandma" she said while cleaning her hand into her pants and extending it so they could shake it but before anything would happen I grabbed her and took her two steps back, my dad and my mother stood beside us
"I see..." Martha mumbled
"Weren't you divorced of this girl" Thomas questioned pointing at me
"I was but we made up" Blaze defended
"YOU WHAT?"
"oh god" I mumbled to myself
"we are together again" he said fearless
"what are you trying to say, Blaze?" his dad questioned in a high tone
"I am saying I am with Elleonora"
"Why? Why are you with that girl again" Her mom spat looking angrily at me
"Because I love her"
"What?" They all asked in unisond
"I love Elleonora and if her parent's let her and even if they not I would gladly marry her again properly" he confessed making me melt
"You are completely insane" His mother uttered
"I am insane, mother? You are the ones who steeped into my house and are making a fuss over the woman I love"
"Stop saying THAT!" his mother screamed
"You are a disappointment to this family every day" His father spoke while my family gasped at those awful things
"I am calling backup" Nana murmured
"Don't !" I warned her " They will be gone soon"
"How can you be in love with... THAT?" His mom questioned looking at me up and down
"THAT!? OH now you are getting in danger!" My grandmother said while rolling up her sleeves "old snake"
"Calm down Nana let her be it's better" I said while holding my grandmother next to me
"Have some respect!" Blaze told his mother sternly
"Are you talking down to your mother?" Thomas questioned getting g
closer to Blaze almost like ready to beat him up
"Are they usually like that?" My dad whispered making me nod a yes
"Why are they like that?" My grandma questioned
"Too complicated" I simply said
"How you've changed!" Martha screamed while tears rushed down her cheeks
"Mother..." Blaze breathed already sick of that conversation, already done with them and everything that they were a part of. It hurted me to see the kind of family that he had, a family that never supported him, that never believed in him that never was there for him in any special, good or bad moment of his life.
"You changed from the moment your sister, Annalise, died. You changed completely after you couldn't save her"
"I didn't save her because I was 8 years old and she had leukemia! " Blaze defended himself, that's when I see the rest of my family get in through the elevator and through the door stairs.
Oh dear lord.
"You didn't save her and you let everything that you wanted behind, you left us and you left your career of medicine, and now you are a dreaming disgrace and disappointment! You have a company of something that we barely know about... you took your family name out of your registry, you disown your own family and you married low-class, freaking mexican immigrants"
"Hm... guess it wasn't that complicated" I mentioned realizing how fast his mother explained everything
"And Spanish and portuguese " And that was enough for Nana to scold her in Spanish " vieja perra!" old bitch
"Mama!" my mother warned my grandmother. My family moved closer to us though they missed half of the discussion, but they soon understood what it was about, they were just waiting for my Nana's command.
"I didn't disown you... you did years ago when you sent me away from my your house, you couldn't see my face because it reminded you of my sister! I took out the name Keller because I never wanted to be mentioned by such a mean and victimizing family! I am sorry mom I couldn't be like my perfect brother who took his whole life and granted it to your and father's wishes and commands! I am so sorry but I can never live like that! And if I am a disgrace to you than I will gladly show you the way out of this house!"
"Don't you dare talk to your mother like that!" His father screamed
"You!" Martha said pointing at me with her raged eyes "What did you do?? LET MY SON ALONE YOU WHORE!" I was suddenly shocked like everyone else while Blaze held her pulse up in the air and looked at her fiercly
"LEAVE! MY HOUSE! NOW!" he shouted making his mother cry in despair, Sarah and Damien where way too uncomfortable to speak anything
"HOW DARE YOU!" Martha cried out "You are nothing but a DISGRACE to this family! YOU RUINED US!"
"Lets go away Martha!" Thomas said grabbing her arm but she shook it while facing her son
"YOU HUMILIATE ME! You humiliate the name Keller! You are nothing! You have never become someone and you never will! Youwill never see you as my son just the inefficient boy who couldn't save my daughter—"
"THEN GET OUT!" a woman shouted, I looked over to my grandma but surprisingly she was quiet that's when I see my mother standing beside Blaze
"Excuse me?" Martha said shocked
"GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE NOW!" my mother said looking at Martha with deadly eyes
"I'm sorry?"
"Are you deaf? Or my English wasn't clear enough for you?" my mother responded making me raise my eyebrows... now I can see where my sassiness comes from, my grandma's genes are strong!
"I'm sorry," Martha said cleaning up the tears while not believing my mother's speech
"You are humiliating yourself get out of here!"
"What?"
"You are the one who's a disgrace! YOU ARE A DISGRACE OF A MOTHER! You don't deserve the wonderful son you have! You make me sick! People like you" my mom said pointing at the four of them "that live my labels and not love. How can you discriminate your son if you don't even know him? You are terrible parents! Losing a daughter due to a disease is awful and I wish I would never know that pain but losing a son's free will is a crime and a sin! "
"You don't know what you're talking about! You don't know him! He is my son! Mine! he was the one to abandon is own family!"
"And can you blame him? He had miserable family, who treated him badly and didn't knew him for who he is!"
"He is failure"
"No! He is not!" Nana shouted scaring me
"He isn't !" my mom agreed grabbing Blaze's hand "He is kind-hearted, he is intelligent, he is so talented and so pure" my mom said as tears rolled down my face mirroring mine by seeing them defending him.
"You are the sad ones! You are miserable, because you just lost an amazing son and all by your will, and he will be so much better without you" Nana told them
"Let's go Martha... he made a choice" Thomas said grabbing his wife hand
"No!!" she shouted, the tears rushing down her face ruining her mascara
"You can go Mrs. Keller, Blaze is in good hands" I said getting closer to Blaze, my mother and my Nana.
"I hate you!" she said pointing at me
"Then hate me... it won't affect me but if you appear near Blaze again I can't promise you that I will control myself" I mentioned causing my family to rebelled them self against that pathetic family
"Sal de la casa"
get out of the house
"Vete locos"
Go away, crazy people
"vete cabrones"
Go away, bastards
"You will pay for this!" His father told me
"Don't you dare to treat granddaughter! Get out right now! " my Nana protested
"I swear Blaze you will regret this—" Martha tried to say as his husband pulled her away from there
"Don't you dare to say another word to him!"My Dad suddendly spoke defending him "Get out!"
"Who are you to tell me that?"
"His family" My mom spoke "We are his family"
"That's right!" Nana agreed while grabbing Blaze's other hand, with my mother on one side and my Nana on the other, my family behind him telling awfully this in Spanish so they would go away, and I couldn't belt but smile at that beautiful image.
Martha left crying and screaming while her husband and Damien pulled her out of the house, Sarah was carrying Martha's bag and when the doors of the elevator closed there was a huge breath of relief from everyone.
The silence appeared once the breaths of relief were gone, I looked at Blaze, everyone finally knew what he had gone through, what his family was like and a small portion of what he suffered.
I knew my family, they were crazy but respectful, they realized what happened and half of them left outside to the pool area.
"Sit down son" my Nana broke the silence and took a chair for Blaze to sit down
"Go get some water, Michael" My mother ordered. I took the chance to face him, I knelled down and search for his miserable face, his cheeks were wet of the tears, his eyes couldn't control the tears flooding down, but his face was emotionless. He was simply crying but his face held no expression.
I brushed his tears with my thumb and gave him a sad smile, understanding his pain and quickly I embraced him in a strong hug.
Once my arms were wrapped around him, he automatically started to sniffle and his muscle chest tense up and I heard his small cries against my neck.
He was finally letting it all out.
