Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 72
As the cooking continued, he continued to talk, and I was able to learn more about him and even felt in some ways he was justified for the things he had done. I did not say anything as he spoke, and I cooked since I needed him to open up more. "Ok if you are ready so is our lunch and hopefully, I cooked it good enough because it's a first for me with bear meat. I treated it as though it was a pot roast and fast cooked it like a chef of mine had shown me. Do you have any liquor or something that would pair well with it?" I asked. He smiled and got up watching me as he went to the pantry and grabbed a bottle of red wine. "I don't break the law of giving out liquor to underage people so you don't get any... there's water, juice, milk whatever else you can find" he was now being that of a gentleman. "Hmmm well isn't that a bitch, but ok I'll stick with water... but breaking the law is what you've been doing for what 11 years now?" I knew I had probably poked the bear, but I was hoping he would not overreact. Too late though since he back handed me in the face and the sting of the pain helped me more on focusing. "Now you want to say something smart mouthed again? I'm sorry but I will not stand for your shit... you are here to help me figure out who tampered with my parents car because it was not just an accident and I really thought it was the guy who knocked her up but the prints did not match" he said sitting back down after opening the wine.
Deciding to stand and eat was better than getting any closer to Billy for the mean time. "Ummm, how did you get all the evidence and things since I'm sure it could not have been easy... also how do you know it was not just an accident? Did your family get along? Did your sister have any issues with your parents before they died? Tell me more about them" I asked making conversation but also wanting to figure it out sooner rather than later. He refused to answer as he was very much into the lunch I had made. He drank the wine to the very last drop and for some reason I was in awe of him. "You are fucking crazy...." I thought to myself after even thinking of him like that. “If it’s ok can I just do a little meditation before we get started? it really helps get me centered and work better” I asked hoping he’d give me just that one thing so I could get a message to my mother so she wouldn’t worry. I already knew she was since I could feel her pain and everyone else trying to break down the walls’ I had built up high. I cleared our plates and put them in the dishwasher as he was watching me with curiosity now and had yet to answer my question. “Ha, meditation…. Well as long as you don’t take long, I can give you 10 mins and I’ll set a timer” he grinned leading us out of the room and back to my bedroom locking me inside it.
Once I got my anxiety in check knowing if needed I could really get out but I was on a mission to help a man who had murdered my friend all because he was starting to feel something for her and the other deaths were not just out of vein. “You are just as delusional as he is if you think that” I thought as I knew the other half of me would be angry for even attempting things like this. I climbed onto the nice comfortable bed and started getting my breathing under control before moving quickly into my own little pod dream that I had learned to create keeping it guarded from anyone who tried to break through it. I got to my mother who was pacing her bedroom floor holding baby Giovanni and hearing him cry as she was so upset herself. “Mother…. I need you to listen and not freak out ok….I am fine and just know that I have my reasons for doing what I’m doing…” “MIA….. you left your team and went where…. you have your team looking everywhere and don’t understand how you even left. Leona is out of her mind as well and even though she knows how you did it she is not sharing with anyone not even me since I can only imagine the things you’ve learned and to be honest I’m even proud, but this is not right. You should be here with us for the holidays. Just tell me you…” “Mother I’m fine but don’t have time to get into it, I am doing my best to finish this and help this young man who is just in so much pain and… I even get him a little and see a little of myself in him to be honest” I kept cutting her off so I could get done with what I needed to say.
My mother had wanted me to stay longer but I knew he would be coming for me soon and could not let her any farther in knowing she had some great abilities of her own. “Just know I love you, because from here on out I’m going incognito and I’m sorry but it just has to be this way for right now” I did my best not to get to emotional before I left and before she could say anything. Just as I opened my eyes Billy was on his way into the room and stood at the door looking at me as though he was trying to read what I was thinking and how I was feeling. “You want to know if I’m scared, don’t you? The answer is yes and no because I know you are just wanting answers and are at a crossroads. I see a lot of myself in you, because I’m in my own little bubble even though I have people around me who try to get in… I end up hurting them in the process and I don’t like it. I am damaged goods, which not to say you are… you are just a little broken and even though you are in your 20’s you are still that scared little boy. Now if you don’t mind can I see the scar….” “Yes, that is what I want you to feel is scared because that’s how I have felt since the day my parents died, and god kept me here for what? My sister could care less about me but then again she’s too scared of me which I never meant for it to happen but she wouldn’t believe me and the only way to make sure would help was to threaten her. She knew what I did to her boyfriend and the other’s so whenever I call she picks up and does whatever is needed. As for the scar…. Not happening I have never showed anyone and I’m not about to show you….” he was now frowning as he stood waiting for me.
As I looked him over from where I sat in the bed I could see the scars on his wrists from trying to kill himself and he saw me looking and left the room keeping the door wide open. I followed him so that he would not need to come back and forcibly move me to wherever he had wanted me to go. Billy was in the large office next to the other one that had all his gadgets but this one had photos of his parents on one side and not happy ones but one’s of their bodies along with the car crash and on another wall had pictures of the car from front to back top to bottom and I wondered for a min how he got it all. “There must have been some type of investigation into this crash since it did not involve another car… from what I’ve read it was a raining night and the road was slick from of course the fresh oil that had been on the road due to it had just been re-asphalted. So show me where you think it was intentional because that’s what I’m lacking and you have way more photos than I had before so if you can take me through what you remember” I asked and watched as he got stiff and showed me his side of how it all happened. “It’s like a nightmare that won’t go away, they had taken me out that night for an early birthday since my father would be leaving for business on that following Monday and that was my birthday. Everything seemed normal as it always did and then on our way back home they started arguing… they would check back on me every few mins with my mother asking my father to calm down” he started to take us both through what he remembered.
