Lynn's P.O.V

 

"Ok I'll talk to you later hun. Love you bye" I hang up the phone and sigh. I really do still miss her.

 

"Who were you talking to ma" My son asks as he plops down on the sofa.

 

"Just Britney J" I hear a groan escape his lips as he leans his head back.

 

"Cameron doesn't like that you talk to Britney so much"

 

"Well its none of her concern"

 

"Look mom she's my girlfriend and I love her so yea it is her concern"

 

"Well I just can't cut people out of my life like you did Justin" I say walking into the kitchen

 

"Mom Britney's the past and Cameron is my future why can't you just realize that and let it go"

 

"I can't Justin"

 

"Why not?" he asks watching my every move.

 

"Because I won't lose a daughter" I say getting a little angry

 

"But you can have a new one don't you see that?"

 

"She's a little bit to old to be my daughter" I mumble out

 

"You said it didn't bother you how old she was"

 

"Of course it doesn't hun" I say with a sigh "I can't treat her like my daughter because I don't want another one"

 

"What do you mean..I don't get it"

 

"Look Justin Britney was like my daughter at age 12 and she still is at 22. I don't need anyone to replace her because we are still connected and even if we weren't I wouldn't want anyone to replace her. Quite frankly no one could"

 

"Cameron can"

 

"No she can't hun she's very sweet but she's not Britney"

 

"She replace Britney in my heart" he says and I instantly laugh

 

"Do you really believe that?"

 

"Yea mom I do. I could never forgive Britney for what she did to me"

 

"What exactly did she do Justin?"

 

"She cheated mom you know that"

 

"Did you see her cheat?"

 

"No"

 

"Did she tell you she did?"

 

"No"

 

"Then no Justin I don't know that she cheated"

 

"Mom how can you say that" he says standing up. "You heard Trace"

 

"Yea your right I heard Trace but I didn't see any proof. You wanna know what Trace sounded like that day. He sounded like a tabloid. Has a story but has nothing to prove it"

 

"He wouldn't lie..no to me"

 

"I love him I've known his since he was in diapers but you can't trust him dear and you know that"

 

"Well it doesn't matter what really happened I love Cameron not Britney"

 

"Ok son"

 

"Why can't you get it through you head ma. I think about her all the time. I get butterflies when I hear her voice let alone her name. She's the only person who can make me feel nervous and insecure because I care to much about what she thinks" he says raising his voice " You may not see it but I do. I love Britney damnit!" I see the expression on his face after that last sentence.

 

Yep a mother just knows.
