My brain cells were totally fried.

I've been sitting here since Calvin left about an hour ago. I asked him if Noah could stay the night at his

house today and he agreed.

I was still trying to grasp all that I learnt today. It was too much information all at once. I didn't know how

to handle all of it.

My phone rings. For a second I think of ignoring, but decide against it. It might be an emergency.

I swipe the screen sightlessly. I put the gadget to my ear, but don't say a thing. My mind was completely

blank so I wait for whoever was on the other side to speak.

"Ava" she breathes. "Thank God. Are you okay? Travis told me what happened today"

Immediately I recognize her voice. Letty.

"I'm not sure, honestly" I reply in a whisper.

I still didn't understand how Emma could be so cruel to Calvin and Gunner. I know that she always

wanted to carry Rowan's children, but to reject her own flesh and blood because he doesn't have Rowan's DNA is downright malicious.

Travis told me you're the one that discovered the truth and exposed Emma's

lie"

Knowing how a parent's rejection feels like, I completely understood Gunner's pain. I took his pain a

own because he reminded me so much of myself. 1

He didn't choose Emma to be his mother, yet she hurt him as if he was nothing. That pissed me of and

broke my heart at the same time.

"Yes. It was just by coincidence I guess

How? How were you able to figure it out" she asks, her voice in disbelief.

I don't know whether it's from finding out that Emma has a son or It's from her inability to understand

how I came by the truth.

"Cal never said anything before?"

"Never, but when I mentioned Emma's name, he completely froze. That gave everything away. Also the

fact that he didn't correct me"

It still seems so surreal. I can't imagine my life without Noah so I don't understand how Emma was able to live like her son didn't exist.

"Tell me everything" she insists and I proceed to tell her everything from how it started to how we got here.

By the time I am done, I'm crying once again. I didn't want to project my pain, but it was really hard.

"I didn't know where I was going until I was at Kate's house" I tell her. I had stopped calling her mother a few months ago. "I felt so angry on his behalf and mine. I wanted to do something for him. Something no call Emma out on her behavior"

It was something I'd prayed for when I was growing up. Other parents noticed how Kate and James treated me, yet they said nothing. Hell, even Rowan's parents kept quiet and followed their friends' lead. No one stood up for me or what was right. So I decided to do it for Gunner.

"I understand you babe. No child should suffer through how your Kate and James treated you or how

Emma treated Gunner. You were right for exposing what a bitch she is

I felt so relieved. There was this part of me that felt like maybe I shouldn't have done it. Like I could have

handled it better, but I was so angry that I couldn't even think straight. I couldn't help it. All I thought about as I drove is; Like mother, like daughter
