Grayson's mother Pov.

I froze not knowing what to do. The last time this happened Grayson got traumatized by his father. I'm supposed to know what to do. I'm supposed to be a role model. What kind of mother lets her husband beat her child with words?

I should have done something before anyone else got harmed, but I just stood there in silence with tears. I can't have been so reckless I am messing up his life.

It broke me as a mother to see him like that. He looked so defeated and hurt hopeless it shatters my heart.

I should have been stronger for him. i should have stopped Harold before he left a mark on Grayson. He is now hurt for good, broken damaged. I should have done better as a mother.

I just want him to live a normal fulfilled life. I needed to support him, show him how to grow and believe his dreams to make them true. Mothers make so many sacrifices for their child, so why didn't I know how to make that one right. I was blinded with my love for Harold that I ley that affect Grayson.

I can't believe that I am the reason he lost that amazing friendship with Olivia. He pushed everyone out after Harold even Olivia the person he loved most. I may have even destroyed something that could have been more than just a friendship, because I knew my Grayson and that he was always in love with Olivia.

I chose the wrong man to love and take care of my child. I should have chose better. I could have done better, even after Harold left. I-I couldn't help but cry. I let my love for Harold ruin everything but I never wanted it to ruin my son.

"Are you crying? Mom are you okay? Why are you crying" Grayson said startled coming fast at me.

Time passes fast when you're crying. Now i have to either find a way to get out of this or make it all up to Grayson once and for all. 

"i feel like i should have done something, like your being hunted by your father because of me. i think this is all my fault"

his face made me feel even worse. he looked tired and sad like he can't take anymore crap. i wish i wasnt messed up so i could be the mother he deserves.
