Chapter 15 - Clearances
Shane Reyes
Hold on, idols?
Ashton Prince
Per usual... you ruin everything, Aubery.
Shane Reyes
Hold on... Ash as in Ashton and Aubery? The two idols that my sister is obsessed with?
Dawn Black
Oh, right. Anais told me once that she loved this group of idols...
Shane Reyes
So these guys are your new temporary step-brothers? That's pretty cool.
Shane Reyes
Hold on, isn't their father like the head of that huge entertainment company?
Dawn Black
Yep. And he's pretty nice too.
He then flicked my forehead.
Shane Reyes
Don't get attached. You know how your mother is. One guy one day and another the next.
The two guys grumbled. They knew that all too well that the relationship between their father and my mother was only a fling.
But Ashton was starting to like that idea more.
Ashton Prince
Her mother can leave. That doesn't mean that Dawn has to.
Shane Reyes
Hold on, what do you mean?
Ashton Prince
She can stay with us. And leave her mother alone to self-destruct.
Dawn Black
I can't do that. For one, she can never hold down a job so I've got to work for her.
Ashton Prince
She's not your problem. Has she ever done anything to warrent respect from you? To warrent any form of apology when you gave it to her?
I don't like this conversation...
Shane Reyes
Stop that! This is her mother we're talking about. At least she stuck around-
I got up and ran out of the door.
Shane Reyes
Wait, hold on, Dawn!
But I didn't turn around. I ran and ran, never looking back to see Shane, Ashton or Aubery.
It was getting dark by the time I stopped running and started to walk around the park.
Tears drifted down my cheeks as I took every step.
My mother, sure, maybe isn't the best mother but at least she did stick around.
My father left me and my mother when I was only five years old and never came back. I can't even remember his name.
But my mother is the one person that is prevented me from being lonely. I can't leave her... I'd be as bad as Dad.
I curled up in a ball on a bench and slowly tried to waste the hours away.
I had forgotten my purse and my wallet at the café and now, I was all alone.
Suddenly, drops of rain started to fall and I took refuge in a small room designed for events.
It was open and I walked right in. Then, I screamed when thunder struck.
I dropped to my knees, covering my ears and trembling.
Meanwhile, hearing that the thunder started, Shane turned pale.
Ashton Prince
What's wrong?
Aubery Prince
Do you know where she is?
Shane Reyes
Dawn has an uncontrollable fear of lightning and thunder. So much so that she locked herself in her closet and covers her ears.
Shane Reyes
Wherever she is, she's really scared.
Ash snarled and started to spring, leaving the two guys behind.
Ashton Prince
I've got to find her... I've got to comfort her.
