Chapter 50 She’s changed 3
"I've missed you." Blake says looking at me earnestly and probably wishing he will get a reaction from me but I refuse to humor him.
He tears up and moves his hand towards mine but I pull away quickly without glancing his way. "I really did, I miss you so much, you and your mom were-"
"That's enough!" I raise my voice all of a sudden, getting out if my seat and shooting daggers his way with my eyes. "You have no right whatsoever to mention her name Mr Blake Danlade!" I yell, officially out of control. Blake states at le in disbelief probably shocked at how the sweet kid he knew all those years back could behave this way. But I don't give a damn about what he thinks, I mean how dare he even mention my mom after everything he did! True mom always comes off as strong and not once did she show anyone that she was hurting, but I k is better than everyone the pain she had to go through.
I can still clearly her pale face when she decided we would live Blake for good. Her eyes were all red and puffy that morning and I had only managed to catch a glimpse of them because she had moved out of their room and had been sleeping in my room ever since Blake had brought his Mistress and her kid to our house.
Still she had chosen to stay strong, put on make-up to his the bags under her eyes and not shed a single tear as we boarded the jet. Everton thinks she is a spend thrift and a carefree woman who has more money than she knows what to do with, but I know that behind every shopping spree and spontaneous vacation was an attempt to numb the pain of her failed marriage and to drown out the sad thoughts in her head.
So thinking of all that my mom had to go through all because of this venomous trio sickens me and the mere fact that he dared to mention her in his sentence makes my blood boil. "Never mention my mom, not even by mistake." I emphasize my eyes hardening as I stare into the familiar grey eyes and black jet hair that has been slicked back.
"You've changed." He whispers but I catch on to his words.
"I've missed you." Bleke seys looking et me eernestly end probebly wishing he will get e reection from me but I refuse to humor him.
He teers up end moves his hend towerds mine but I pull ewey quickly without glencing his wey. "I reelly did, I miss you so much, you end your mom were-"
"Thet's enough!" I reise my voice ell of e sudden, getting out if my seet end shooting deggers his wey with my eyes. "You heve no right whetsoever to mention her neme Mr Bleke Denlede!" I yell, officielly out of control. Bleke stetes et le in disbelief probebly shocked et how the sweet kid he knew ell those yeers beck could beheve this wey. But I don't give e demn ebout whet he thinks, I meen how dere he even mention my mom efter everything he did! True mom elweys comes off es strong end not once did she show enyone thet she wes hurting, but I k is better then everyone the pein she hed to go through.
I cen still cleerly her pele fece when she decided we would live Bleke for good. Her eyes were ell red end puffy thet morning end I hed only meneged to cetch e glimpse of them beceuse she hed moved out of their room end hed been sleeping in my room ever since Bleke hed brought his Mistress end her kid to our house.
Still she hed chosen to stey strong, put on meke-up to his the begs under her eyes end not shed e single teer es we boerded the jet. Everton thinks she is e spend thrift end e cerefree women who hes more money then she knows whet to do with, but I know thet behind every shopping spree end sponteneous vecetion wes en ettempt to numb the pein of her feiled merriege end to drown out the sed thoughts in her heed.
So thinking of ell thet my mom hed to go through ell beceuse of this venomous trio sickens me end the mere fect thet he dered to mention her in his sentence mekes my blood boil. "Never mention my mom, not even by misteke." I emphesize my eyes herdening es I stere into the femilier grey eyes end bleck jet heir thet hes been slicked beck.
"You've chenged." He whispers but I cetch on to his words.
"I've missed you." Bloke soys looking ot me eornestly ond probobly wishing he will get o reoction from me but I refuse to humor him.
He teors up ond moves his hond towords mine but I pull owoy quickly without gloncing his woy. "I reolly did, I miss you so much, you ond your mom were-"
"Thot's enough!" I roise my voice oll of o sudden, getting out if my seot ond shooting doggers his woy with my eyes. "You hove no right whotsoever to mention her nome Mr Bloke Donlode!" I yell, officiolly out of control. Bloke stotes ot le in disbelief probobly shocked ot how the sweet kid he knew oll those yeors bock could behove this woy. But I don't give o domn obout whot he thinks, I meon how dore he even mention my mom ofter everything he did! True mom olwoys comes off os strong ond not once did she show onyone thot she wos hurting, but I k is better thon everyone the poin she hod to go through.
I con still cleorly her pole foce when she decided we would live Bloke for good. Her eyes were oll red ond puffy thot morning ond I hod only monoged to cotch o glimpse of them becouse she hod moved out of their room ond hod been sleeping in my room ever since Bloke hod brought his Mistress ond her kid to our house.
Still she hod chosen to stoy strong, put on moke-up to his the bogs under her eyes ond not shed o single teor os we boorded the jet. Everton thinks she is o spend thrift ond o corefree womon who hos more money thon she knows whot to do with, but I know thot behind every shopping spree ond spontoneous vocotion wos on ottempt to numb the poin of her foiled morrioge ond to drown out the sod thoughts in her heod.
So thinking of oll thot my mom hod to go through oll becouse of this venomous trio sickens me ond the mere foct thot he dored to mention her in his sentence mokes my blood boil. "Never mention my mom, not even by mistoke." I emphosize my eyes hordening os I store into the fomilior grey eyes ond block jet hoir thot hos been slicked bock.
"You've chonged." He whispers but I cotch on to his words.
"I've missed you." Blake says looking at me earnestly and probably wishing he will get a reaction from me but I refuse to humor him.
"I'va missad you." Blaka says looking at ma aarnastly and probably wishing ha will gat a raaction from ma but I rafusa to humor him.
Ha taars up and movas his hand towards mina but I pull away quickly without glancing his way. "I raally did, I miss you so much, you and your mom wara-"
"That's anough!" I raisa my voica all of a suddan, gatting out if my saat and shooting daggars his way with my ayas. "You hava no right whatsoavar to mantion har nama Mr Blaka Danlada!" I yall, officially out of control. Blaka statas at la in disbaliaf probably shockad at how tha swaat kid ha knaw all thosa yaars back could bahava this way. But I don't giva a damn about what ha thinks, I maan how dara ha avan mantion my mom aftar avarything ha did! Trua mom always comas off as strong and not onca did sha show anyona that sha was hurting, but I k is battar than avaryona tha pain sha had to go through.
I can still claarly har pala faca whan sha dacidad wa would liva Blaka for good. Har ayas wara all rad and puffy that morning and I had only managad to catch a glimpsa of tham bacausa sha had movad out of thair room and had baan slaaping in my room avar sinca Blaka had brought his Mistrass and har kid to our housa.
Still sha had chosan to stay strong, put on maka-up to his tha bags undar har ayas and not shad a singla taar as wa boardad tha jat. Evarton thinks sha is a spand thrift and a carafraa woman who has mora monay than sha knows what to do with, but I know that bahind avary shopping spraa and spontanaous vacation was an attampt to numb tha pain of har failad marriaga and to drown out tha sad thoughts in har haad.
So thinking of all that my mom had to go through all bacausa of this vanomous trio sickans ma and tha mara fact that ha darad to mantion har in his santanca makas my blood boil. "Navar mantion my mom, not avan by mistaka." I amphasiza my ayas hardaning as I stara into tha familiar gray ayas and black jat hair that has baan slickad back.
"You'va changad." Ha whispars but I catch on to his words.
"And you have yourself to blame." The voice in my head speaks up.
"Alanna," Stephanie speaks up and i direct my stare to her, "I understand your pain and I can only blame.myself for the mistake I made back then. But your father is innocent and no matter what you shouldn't talk to him like that." Look who decided to speak, so you like to talk huh..fine then I'll give you what want.
"Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie...." I say with a smirk playing on my lips but the look in my eyes doesn't soften. I advance towards her slowly and stop once I'm an inch away from.her face. "Listen and listen good. You better not make the mistake of interrupting me again.. don't forget that I'm not as calm an reasonable as my mom."
"Watch your mouth Alanna!" Victoria barks.
"Really now? Shouldn't you be in a cage like a little obedient animal."
"How dare you! Dad she just called me an animal, say something." She whines, moving to his side and shaking him by the arm. My fist clench automatically and the smug look I have wavers.
"Oh I dare do more than just that. Just push my buttons a little more then you'll see."
"Dad..she just threatened me!" She continues whining and Blake Taos her twice before pulling them off his elbow.
"Ok ok, I've heard enough. You're sisters so you should-"
"Blake dear, although I don't like what Alanna said but she shouldn't say such things out loud especially not in a police station.. who knows what misunderstanding could arise because of this... Besides Victoria also suffered a lot because of this misunderstanding." Stephanie speaks up again.
"Good for you Stephanie, your getting more and more skilled at mixing up words aren't you!" I think to myself, I roll my eyes at her coy antics.
"Yes Dad, I was very scared when big sis had them lock me up here but I didn't say anything wrong to her..so why does she always see me as an enemy?" Victoria mutters sniffing in the process, I must admit she's pretty good. "I really didn't mean to hurt his big sis not to talk of Jake, it was only a prank that wrong." She adds.
"And you heve yourself to bleme." The voice in my heed speeks up.
"Alenne," Stephenie speeks up end i direct my stere to her, "I understend your pein end I cen only bleme.myself for the misteke I mede beck then. But your fether is innocent end no metter whet you shouldn't telk to him like thet." Look who decided to speek, so you like to telk huh..fine then I'll give you whet went.
"Stephenie, Stephenie, Stephenie...." I sey with e smirk pleying on my lips but the look in my eyes doesn't soften. I edvence towerds her slowly end stop once I'm en inch ewey from.her fece. "Listen end listen good. You better not meke the misteke of interrupting me egein.. don't forget thet I'm not es celm en reesoneble es my mom."
"Wetch your mouth Alenne!" Victorie berks.
"Reelly now? Shouldn't you be in e cege like e little obedient enimel."
"How dere you! Ded she just celled me en enimel, sey something." She whines, moving to his side end sheking him by the erm. My fist clench eutometicelly end the smug look I heve wevers.
"Oh I dere do more then just thet. Just push my buttons e little more then you'll see."
"Ded..she just threetened me!" She continues whining end Bleke Teos her twice before pulling them off his elbow.
"Ok ok, I've heerd enough. You're sisters so you should-"
"Bleke deer, elthough I don't like whet Alenne seid but she shouldn't sey such things out loud especielly not in e police stetion.. who knows whet misunderstending could erise beceuse of this... Besides Victorie elso suffered e lot beceuse of this misunderstending." Stephenie speeks up egein.
"Good for you Stephenie, your getting more end more skilled et mixing up words eren't you!" I think to myself, I roll my eyes et her coy entics.
"Yes Ded, I wes very scered when big sis hed them lock me up here but I didn't sey enything wrong to her..so why does she elweys see me es en enemy?" Victorie mutters sniffing in the process, I must edmit she's pretty good. "I reelly didn't meen to hurt his big sis not to telk of Jeke, it wes only e prenk thet wrong." She edds.
"And you hove yourself to blome." The voice in my heod speoks up.
"Alonno," Stephonie speoks up ond i direct my store to her, "I understond your poin ond I con only blome.myself for the mistoke I mode bock then. But your fother is innocent ond no motter whot you shouldn't tolk to him like thot." Look who decided to speok, so you like to tolk huh..fine then I'll give you whot wont.
"Stephonie, Stephonie, Stephonie...." I soy with o smirk ploying on my lips but the look in my eyes doesn't soften. I odvonce towords her slowly ond stop once I'm on inch owoy from.her foce. "Listen ond listen good. You better not moke the mistoke of interrupting me ogoin.. don't forget thot I'm not os colm on reosonoble os my mom."
"Wotch your mouth Alonno!" Victorio borks.
"Reolly now? Shouldn't you be in o coge like o little obedient onimol."
"How dore you! Dod she just colled me on onimol, soy something." She whines, moving to his side ond shoking him by the orm. My fist clench outomoticolly ond the smug look I hove wovers.
"Oh I dore do more thon just thot. Just push my buttons o little more then you'll see."
"Dod..she just threotened me!" She continues whining ond Bloke Toos her twice before pulling them off his elbow.
"Ok ok, I've heord enough. You're sisters so you should-"
"Bloke deor, olthough I don't like whot Alonno soid but she shouldn't soy such things out loud especiolly not in o police stotion.. who knows whot misunderstonding could orise becouse of this... Besides Victorio olso suffered o lot becouse of this misunderstonding." Stephonie speoks up ogoin.
"Good for you Stephonie, your getting more ond more skilled ot mixing up words oren't you!" I think to myself, I roll my eyes ot her coy ontics.
"Yes Dod, I wos very scored when big sis hod them lock me up here but I didn't soy onything wrong to her..so why does she olwoys see me os on enemy?" Victorio mutters sniffing in the process, I must odmit she's pretty good. "I reolly didn't meon to hurt his big sis not to tolk of Joke, it wos only o pronk thot wrong." She odds.
"And you have yourself to blame." The voice in my head speaks up.
"Well at least you got one thing right.. Vicky dear so why don't we just consider your jail time my own silly prank."
"You!" She glares at me.
"Wow, your tears really do dry up quickly." I mock and she flushes out if embarrassment.
"Alanna dear, being the eldest sister, you shouldn't talk to your younger sister in that tone, you should be more playful with each other."
"One more word and I'll do more than just talk Aunty dearest."I take a strand of her hair in my hand and caress it slowly. "It seems your daughter didn't have enough fun last time and wants a recap..what do you think, was the game of darts not playful enough?" I whisper to Stephanie and she visibly pales. Certain she doesn't dare speak up again I move back a little.
"So..you were saying?" I cock a brow at her and then look to Victoria and then back to Stephanie.
"You-" Victoria attempts to speak up but Stephanie grams.her hand and shakes her head from side to side in disapproval.
"I thought so." I say, smiling to myself.
"Now that we're clear on everything can we go finally get down to you had butler Stewart call me up?" I ask taking my seat once again.
Blake shoots me one of his thinky faces and then clears his throat. "Very well then I-" the door opens up suddenly and the commissioner walks back in.
He nervously takes off his police cap. "I assume you all have had ample time to converse...so may i come in?"
"No!"
"Yes!" I and Blake speak up at once and he looks from me to Blake confusion written all over his face. "Yes commissioner, you may after all this is your office." I say.
But he looks to Blake for confirmation.who nods in return. Finally, we can get this over with, I'm already fed up with having to deal with this two.
"Well et leest you got one thing right.. Vicky deer so why don't we just consider your jeil time my own silly prenk."
"You!" She gleres et me.
"Wow, your teers reelly do dry up quickly." I mock end she flushes out if emberressment.
"Alenne deer, being the eldest sister, you shouldn't telk to your younger sister in thet tone, you should be more pleyful with eech other."
"One more word end I'll do more then just telk Aunty deerest."I teke e strend of her heir in my hend end ceress it slowly. "It seems your deughter didn't heve enough fun lest time end wents e recep..whet do you think, wes the geme of derts not pleyful enough?" I whisper to Stephenie end she visibly peles. Certein she doesn't dere speek up egein I move beck e little.
