Chapter 23
Marilynn
I turned in my assignment after school; Marissa took a liking to Ashton. She said he seems like a “sweet boy” but I was going to find his wild side. Here I was sitting on my bed wondering where Harry could be. I already tried reaching him but it goes straight to his fucking voicemail.
This whole situation is weird. I suddenly remember of that lady named Edelle, she left me her number and I never called, maybe she can help me. She seemed like a crazy lady but if I want to know about Harry then maybe I can call her? I search my room for my brown handbag that contains the scrap of paper.
After tearing my room apart, I finally found my small brown handbag. “Found it.” I whispered to myself. I sat back on the then dialed the number.
Calling…
555-0105
“Hello?” Yes, she answered!
“Hey, you gave me your number. You said I should stay away from Harry?” I responded.
“I’ve been expecting your call.” She answered.
“Can you explain why I need to stay away from him?” I questioned.
“You’re Marilynn? Am I correct?” What the fuck? How does she know?
“Yes.” I replied.
“Your father is Frances, correct?” she’s scaring me.
“Yes.” I answered.
“Did your father ever mention some files about trafficking?”
“No, he said his work was confidential.” I responded to her.
“When’s your birthday?” She asked another question.
“Listen, I don’t know who you are and I’m not comfortable sharing anymore information with you.” I stated firmly.
“I am Edelle. I was the secretary of Harry’s father before he went to prison. If you give me the date of your birth, I can give you information that may benefit you.” She spoke through the phone.
“My birthday is on November 1st, “ I admitted.
“I’ll tell you then, on your birthday.” She said.
“No, I want to know now!” I shouted into the phone. I was so fucking curious to know what she had to say. “If I were to be permitted to expose to you about our industry then I would, dear. However it is a violation of releasing non adequate information to a child.” She spoke through the phone.
“What the fuck are you saying? Just tell me about Harry.” I said impatiently.
“What I’m saying is that you’re still a kid and I can’t tell you adult stuff. Am I clear?” She sternly said. Sixteen is still a kid’s age. What does a few months matter? “Why can’t you tell me now? My father has been dead for at least three years already. Why all of a sudden do you appear? How does any of this have to do with me” I bombarded her with questions.
“Your family is connected to his.” She sighed.
“Oh god. Is he related to me? Oh shit! He is, isn’t he?” I panicked.
“No, no dear.” She said calmly.
“Thank god.” I breathed.
“I’ll contact you the day of your birthday. I’m warning you, plenty will occur that day. Promises will be broken, and hearts will be shattered. Stay away from him.” Then she hung up. I’m so confused.
Where is my life going?”
I hear a knock on the door, “Come in!” I shouted.
“Ashton?” I see him coming in my bedroom.
“Hey, uh your sister let me in, she said uh for me to leave the door open.” He laughed.
“Of course she would.” I smiled. “What happened I thought you were going to play street hockey with Adrian and Smith?” I continued.
“I am, Smith gave me his address and then I realized your house was on the way so I wanted to stop by.” He explained.
“Cool.” I nodded.
“Wanna come with to watch?” he raised his eyebrows up and down, leaning into my shoulder.
“I’d actually love that. Let me put my shoes on and we can go.” I said getting up to grab a pair of shoes from my closet. While I was at it, I quickly grabbed a coat since it seemed chilly out. “Let’s go.” I rushed him out the door.
As we were going downstairs my sister stopped us. “Where are you guys going?” she inquired. “I’m gonna go watch Ashton play street hockey with my other friends.” I told her innocently.
“Does mum know?” Fuck.
“No, I’ll let her know, where is she?” I asked Lori.
“In the living room with whom you like to call Shitface.” She giggled.
“Ugh. He always influences her decisions.” I groaned.
“So do I so come on we’ll ask her together.” She patted my head.
“You can wait for me outside Ash, it won’t take long.” I promised.
“Will do.” He rubbed my arm before heading out the door. I walk into the living room, immediately I am disgusted. Alden his arm around my mother; they seem to really be enjoying themselves, watching television, laughing. I stare at them with hate before I proceed to ask my mom for permission.
“Hey mom.” I call for her attention.
They both turn to look at me. I called for my mom not the devil. “Yes honey?” She responded.
“I was wondering if I could go out to watch my friends play street hockey.” I told her. She seemed hesitant; she was going to reply, right until Shitface go in, “Did you finish your school work?” He lifted an eyebrow at me.
I stared at him giving him the stay out of this look. “Anyway mom, what do you say?” I said waiting for an answer. I was basically giving her the puppy dog eyes. “I don’t know Mary, it’s a school night and seems too chilly.” Come on.
“You should let her go mum. It sounds like fun besides Smith is going to be there. He’s a good influence on Mary.” She lied; she knows exactly how bad Smith is. She only protects him because she has a crush on his older brother.
“This seems a bit strange, you should stay home and study.” Shitface coughed. He needs to shut the fuck up before I punch him in the nose. “You can go, honey. Be safe, I love you.” She got up to give me a quick hug. “Bye mom, bye Shitface!” I ran out the door before my mother could take what she said.
“I can go.” I took a deep breath after I had run out of my home.
“Yes!” Ashton hugged me, then pulled my hand as we ran to see our friends.
