Chapter 51 - Not Even You Can Stop Me

Not Even You Can Stop Me

Mary's POV


After eating her meal, she headed to the kitchen to wash the dishes, her mind travelled to her child, it does all the time whether her eyes were open or its closed

"I'm really sorry baby, I have to go now" She said to Racheal

"No mum, please don't go" Racheal cried out

"I… I have to go baby, the police officer is waiting for you, mummy drinks a lot now and you shouldn't be close to me at the moment so that I won't hurt it but…"

"I'm not complaining mum please" She grabbed her by her hand

"Go" Mary said In a low teary voice, pushing her to the police woman waiting to take Racheal to be carried

While George was at the corner watching, waiting for her, so that they could run away just as they had planned to

He never got to see Racheal after her birth, that was the first and last time he carried her

"I won't let you marry him" Mrs Spencer said at the top of her voice

"You won't tell me who to get married to mum, I'm not a child anymore and I can make decisions on my own and I am sticking to George whether it sits well with you or not" Mary said firmly

George just stood at the corner of the door staring at them having their conversation

"He is not a good person Mary, look at him and tell me what you saw in him that makes you so sure of him" Mrs Spencer

"He is a good person, not and never would be dad" Mary said with a frown really close to her mum's face

"Get the hell out of my face" Mrs Spencer gave her a slap to her face

"Don't you dare" George came into the light

"Dare what?" she asked George, after a silence from him, she turned to Mary

"After everything I had done for you, after everything we have gone through you ungrateful child, and you decided to stoop so low"

"Enough mum… enough" Mary screamed at the top of her voice "Why must everything be about you, what about me huh?" Mary began to cry "Huh?" she screamed louder

"What do you mean? Everything I did and have ever one was for you, I could have left Joe a long time ago but I stayed because of you and your si.." she stopped "Even after she passed" her tone changed, became low "I stayed with you" Mrs Spencer lowered her head in tears

"Mum" tears flooded Mary' eyes "I didn't say that I was going to leave you mum" Mary touched her mum's face, raising it up to look at her "I love you mum and no one can ever take that away from me not even you" Mary pointed to her mum and laughed

"Not even me?" she laughed at that statement too

"Yes, not even you mum, I just want to…" Mary tilted her head towards George

Mrs Spencer gave a deep sigh "Alright"

"Alright?" Mary shouted out of excitement as the particles of tears fell of her face to the floor

"Whatever, you win" mum rolled her eyes as hot tears rolled down her cheek "But!" she points at George who was already smiling his face out


"But… you won't come anywhere near my grandchild for the day you do, I would rip your head off your neck" Mum said with all the energy that she could at George

"Gosh mum" Mary laughed "That would be murder"

"Yes, and if he ever makes you cry, I would rip his skin off his flesh"

"OK mum, he has heard you clearly right George?"

"Yes ma'am, I did and I fully understand every word you said" George responded

"Good" Mrs Spencer said and turned to Mary "When are you guys getting married?"

"Next month mum" Mary smiled

"Next month?" Mum asked "So soon?"

"Next month is still far enough, so we can start the preparations now" Mary said

………

"Would I have listened? Would I have listened to her when she said I shouldn't marry him?" Mary looked at the dirty dishes as tears rolled down her cheek

"What sort of mother have I become" she tried not to cry out loud to wake George up from his sleep

"Probably I wouldn't be in this mess if only… if only I listened to mum when she told me not to" Mary dipped her hands in the sink to get the sponge

"Arg!!" she pulled her hands out of it quickly, she saw how blood dripped out of her hand

"Argh!" she repeated and went for a neat tissue to clean it up

After cleaning it up, she went went to the sink and noticed their had been a knife inside which he didn't notice before she started washing off the dishes

She removed the knife and carefully washed the remaining dirt off the dishes left

She cleaned her hands dry after the wash and went in to join George for she needed some rest too

She walked in really slow so as not to wake George up from the sleep he so longed for after the call he made for Racheal

She sat close to him, watched how he slept, how comfortable he was even though we can't reach Racheal, and yet sleep so well, this really disturbed her

She pushed his arm which was at the end of the bed where she intended to lay

She then laid at the corner of the bed, staring unseemingly at the corner of the wall, maybe she wasn't grateful, or perhaps she was blinded by the efforts George was putting in getting herself and her child together

A million thoughts ran through her head, each battling of which to stay but she wanted neither of them to stay

"Courage" she said to herself "Courage… you have to be strong at least for her, to honour mum" She whispered to herself several times over and over again before she finally let sleep sweep her off her feet making her fall for it terribly
