Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 81
Thanksgiving had been a day that I would never forget for it was both filled with sadness, but also with love in a weird way since Billy was a broken young man having dinner with a broken young woman. He had put me to bed by 10pm and sat with me for a while. He had wanted to know more about my life and what went wrong, “Why do you feel you are like me?” he asked his final question. “Billy…. It’s complicated ok… and think of the guy who hurt your sister all those years ago, because we have similar back grounds. That is one reason I lost my girls and why I now proudly wear their prints on my side, their father is healing just like me and he is the one who broke me ok. He’s not the only one to blame though since I went back time after time thinking I needed that to feel whole and normal. Now can you just leave me to rest now I’ve had a long day and even a longer one tomorrow since we are going to be hopefully getting something from my friend. I trust him so trust me ok and in that we will have more soon and I will do more if needed to make sure we get justice for your parents and grandparents no matter what” I whispered as I slowly turned over onto my side.
Billy had sat a little longer as he rubbed my shoulder, and his touch was that of gentleness which helped relax me a little more. He left the room keeping the door unlocked with me inside it and I fell right to sleep knowing if I wanted to I could leave the room even though leaving out the front door was not going to happen. Leona was there waiting for me and looking mad that I refused anyone access even into my own dream stream since she was not able to enter into the main one that my family had even though we were descendants of the same blood line. “Relax ok I am still alive and you know that or you would be more mad if you saw my spirit instead of me here in the flesh or well as much flesh that’s possible. So how is the family and how was thanksgiving?” I asked and knew the look on her face was not a happy one. “Well if you even have to ask you are just…… never mind it was full of tears instead of happiness… Cate held baby Giovanni and says she sees a lot of you in him. She’s not wrong of course and well your grandparents are besides themselves along with your aunt and uncle and uncle to be. He knows something is up and just trust me it’s been a battle keeping everyone at bay including the new arrivals that showed up just as we were plate-ing food. Nick and Jose are something else and are asking more questions and are pissed that you are not here” she was giving me the play by play of it all including my friends who I wasn’t even expecting to be there.
My heart broke knowing that my family and friends were so miserable, but they’d continue to be until I helped make things right and was just as mad and upset as they were even though I didn’t let it show. “Look Le….ona I am not just walking away from this young man to give up on him like everyone else did. You know there is more to this and I am happy that you could see it whether you want to believe him or not. So hurry up with that drive because I need it tonight and he will check it before he puts it into his actual system so don’t try anything that could be a disaster for not just me but him too. I am really reaching him” I confessed, and she looked at me in disgust. “Jesus…. Tell me you didn’t sleep with him…. Fucking Christ Mia….. you don’t even have to answer the question since I can read you like a fucking book” she said hitting me in the face and tossing the drive at my feet. Ethan had jumped towards my dream bubble and was knocked on his ass as he wanted to fight Leona who was storming out. “Ya you better leave you fucking stupid bitch and don’t ever come back” he yelled out. I cupped my face feeling it burning so bad I was not sure if it would leave a mark when I woke up or not. “Ethan its fine just stop” I sighed looking back to him knowing it would not make since to her or him.
Ethan walked away from me too disappointed and for me it is what I knew which was sad for me to admit since I had been doing it for years without really seeing the consequences until now. I took the flash drive and took it to my house and scanned it for whatever might have been planted on it which was a lot including a signal app that sent its location back to the team. I was able to find it and remove it from the drive before it could make it to its host. I quickly uploaded it to the website that Billy had created and hoped it would be what we needed to continue our work and find the people behind it all and hopefully either return their money which I prayed Billy would agree to. Something told me though that there would be more bloodshed before it was all said and done, and he could be the one to end up dead in the end. I woke dizzy around 4 am and felt angry for a min that I was causing so much pain to my family but I needed to do what was right and didn’t just like saying things and making promises I could not keep.
Deciding after showering that today would be a down day I headed into the kitchen and got a breakfast feast going for Billy who loved all things sweet. I used the pumpkin that had not been put into pie and used it for pancakes and flavored butter. I made mimosa’s along with it and as the smell filled the house Billy came out of his room in just his boxers and man’s tank top looking as hot as a man should. “WOW…. Smells amazing reminds me of when my mother used to do the same thing with leftover pie filling, and yummy what are these?” he asked when he took a drink of mimosa. “Never had a mimosa? I used apple cider with champagne hope you don’t mind. As for the leftovers yes, my mother did the same for my father, my twin and I when we were little. She only did it for a few years after my brother and then she had her breakdown when I was 8 and that is when I learned to take care of myself pretty much even though I had a nanny and a personal chef growing up” I stopped not really understanding why I just told him everything in that order. Billy kissed my cheek and then my lips wanting me to be more into it but still moved on when I plated his food and put it on the counter island.
We ate quickly and before we headed in to the office as he had wanted and looking through what I had sent him which he was happy to see that my “So called friend” was able to get the job done. “Says he needs more time on the other things and also needs to know exactly where my grandparents are buried. Not sure what he needs that information for but ok…” he questioned for a second but went ahead and typed away on his computer a message back to well me. “I hope this gets done soon so that I can at least let my parents know I’m safe and ok, they must be really upset….” I trailed off thinking of what I’d been told and seeing my mother’s face that morning of. “I sent them video showing you are just fine and don’t worry it’s all PG” Billy promised which surprised me. I did not my best not to overreact as I wanted to know exactly what he had sent my parents who I was sure would only see the video as a taunt. The other side had thought the same as they did their best to get through my barrier I had placed even though I could hear them loud and clear.
