Chapter 10
15 mins later I found Mallory in the bedroom on the 2nd floor sitting on the love seat and looking out the window. I watched her for a few mins until my phone vibrated loud enough in my hand and off my jewelry that Mallory turned and looked towards the cracked door. A second later she was at the door ready to open it when I lightly knocked. The door opened wider and Mallory and I were now face to face with me looking down just at the right angle to see what a seriously great body she had. "Sorry to interrupt your down time just wanted to apologize for ummm well all that has taken place since the flight. Sleep well I hope you find the room to your liking if not there are well about 8 more to choose from" I say before turning away. I was halfway down the hall to hit the stairs to go up when Mallory came out of the bedroom "Not sure why you're always apologizing, but thanks for it anyways. See you around Mia have a good night yourself" Mallory says before going back inside her room. I turned and faced her giving her a smile and wink before heading up to the third floor to find my mother Amelia. I was not sure what room she had decided on this time but was surprised she picked the one facing the woods instead of the beach. She always loved waking up to the sound of the waves and the wildlife around her.
I had figured her choice was to give me a little more privacy or to make sure I didn't run off again. I finally found the bedroom My mother decided on and knocked on the door after listening to her on the phone laughing after sounding like she had been crying. I slowly opened the door to my mother Amelia's tear stained face and a slight smile. "Hope I'm not interrupting anything, but thought I'd check on you and make sure things were ok..." I stopped just inside the door. "Hey ummm I'll call you back later my daughter just walked in" my mother says to whoever was on the other line. My phone vibrates again and looking down I see that the group text was now waiting for me to respond. I quickly texted back "Hey one second just walked into my mother’s room and I think she has a boyfriend... txt when I can" I typed not bothering to read what anyone had said. "Umm mother who was that on the line? I assume it's not father since you were crying and are now laughing. I guess that's the reason father won't be joining us for a couple of days, and the reason you wanna do this whole sleep over thing?" I asked as I closed the door and sat in the chair near the door. Amelia crawled into bed folding her hands in her lap and twisting them about. "1st things first no I'm not dating, 2nd thing the person on the phone is just a friend. I'm not sure why I have to even explain anything to you since I'm the parent and my personal adult life has nothing to do with you" my mother says in a matter of fact tone.
The shock of my mother’s tone had me sitting up straighter taking a step back in how my mother was talking to me, but she was right wasn't she. "Ok you're right none of my business, just hope you're happy at the end of the day. Anyways I just wanted to check on you make sure that you were ok.. and ask if it's ok if I go out for a bit I just want to go to the beach before the sun completely goes down. I will come back and shower before I get into bed if that's what you still want" I say before I turning back around ready to head back out until something hit me "Mother, can you tell me something... ummm I know it might be hard but why don't we talk about Ethan Jr? But you and father fight all the time and I hear Ethan's name come up more than I can count?" I ask without shame wanting to know deep down. A split second later my mother was at my side and a 1/2 a second later her hand was like lightening across my face. "Don't speak his fucking name.... you don't even know him.... I don't want to hear his name come out of your mouth again" she says in a tone I never heard before nor had I ever been hit by either of my parents. "Wow ok.... guess I got my answer and I know more about Ethan than you ever will... good to know that you'd rather hit me than talk about him" my mother now balled up her fist and I jumped back knowing she would strike again but not so violent. "GET..... OUT! I don't want to see you until morning so if this was your plan you won" she screams and before I know it, she’s slamming the door once I am out the door.
As I was almost to the second floor Donnie was coming around the corner to start his climb up. "Hey angel thought you were off to bed al...." he stopped when he saw my red face and a now very visible handprint. "Before you ask, I'm fine nothing I can't handle nor the worse I've endured the last 24 hours" I said as I finished descending the stairs. Donnie followed me trying to grab me "DAMN IT MIA! You better stop right there and talk to me" he yelled, and I was over it shutting down and hitting automatic pilot. I turned and faced him yanking my arm back feeling the burn and pain which took the pain away from my face and heart that kept breaking. "Donnie.... seriously I'm fine and I got what I deserved for bringing up my dead brother who keeps haunting my fucking dreams. So, if you'll excuse me, I need to take a walk..." I kissed his cheek and he left me be. I passed Mallory's room with her standing at it and didn't bother to look at her knowing she could see the handprint and didn't feel like seeing her sympathy on her face or anyone else’s for that matter.
After I made my way down to the first floor with Sebastian on the phone with who I figured was my father I knew he would follow me regardless if I told him I was taking a walk or not. "Ummm hey GQ I'm back in the guest house this evening after all... so I guess I'll see you over there later. I am going for a walk and a stop at the beach so if you’re going to end up following bring a towel for yourself if you don't like sitting on the sand. Maybe change out of that stuffy ass outfit too because I'm sure your sweating balls. Oh, and tell my father he made the right decision on leaving that psycho as bitch of a wife" I say not making eye contact and headed out the back door. Greta had heard and saw everything which included my face and now biceps that had deep purple and blue bruises on them as I slowly started to strip down. I threw my t-shirt and shorts near the guest house and kept walking towards the beach with my cell phone tucked in my sports bra.
I had just passed the guest house when I stopped and looked back towards the house to find the 2nd floor balcony door open. Though I could not tell if there was someone watching and then saw who I figured was Donnie on the 3rd floor looking out his window not being a perv but a concerned father figure. The final look I made was to the back of the house where Greta and Sebastian stood watching me too. I turned and went back to walking and making it to the beach a few seconds later. "God this is what I missed... the freedom I feel when I'm here...." I say out loud as though I was waiting for someone to answer. No one did though which I was ok with and then my cell rang with a face time call coming through. Catherine was the lucky one and I almost hesitated knowing if the light were right, she would she my face and the new design to it that would take at least a couple hours to go away at least. I ignored the FaceTime call but answered the regular call that came through "hey... sorry I had to ignore the FaceTime call it's dark and I'm setting on the beach so ya. Anyways enough about me how are you doing baby girl?" I asked.
Catherine had sounded like she had run a marathon or something and figured she was either happy to hear my voice or had just had sex with Adam since she didn't leave on Vaca with me. "Ahhh gotcha, was hoping to see that beautiful face of yours but I guess I can wait. You sound a little ummm shut down right now so maybe I should call you tomorrow" Catherine says trying to already hang up. "Whoa now I know you didn't call just to do all that, but you're the one who sounds all disheveled and out of breath. I am assuming you gave Adam a good night before he leaves for ummm well wherever he is going?” I ask with no satisfaction to my voice since I was not in the mood to laugh, cry or anything else that had to do with emotions which I was happy that Catherine knew me so well. Catherine and I had made small talk for the next few mins until I heard footsteps behind me and figured it was Sebastian. "Hey angel I have to go my battery is about to die and I'm not alone anymore if you catch my drift. Anyways I'm thinking on cutting this shit short and coming home in a couple days when Donnie goes to get my dad, so maybe if that happens we can hang out or something and talk" I say before hanging up. "Ok Mia whatever you want and maybe tomorrow you can call me or even FaceTime. Unless you need to talk before bed and after you charge, your phone you can call me but only if you want" Catherine says and hung up before I could answer.
