Chapter 72
By the time I was done searching the yacht and arriving back on the motorboat I saw Sebastian on the dock with his arms crossed and in a power stance. I parked the boat and ran towards the guest house again wanting to know what she had left me. I had not even taken it out of the envelope. I pulled the object out and held it in my hand seeing that it was a thin chain with a heart shaped locket on it and slowly opened it not sure why she gave it to me or when she bought it. Gripping the locket chained neckless I couldn’t help but cry as I saw her photo inside of it on one side and on the other side held a picture of a little baby. I found it that much more confusing with the whole baby and wondered who it could have been. “DAMN IT…. Mia the baby is hers… a baby that she keeps in her private life… the baby is only 6 weeks old and is in the custody of her parents while she’s working and doing school. That’s another reason she felt she had to leave because being away from her daughter this long she couldn’t handle it and needed to go home for a couple of days and see her before she goes out again” Ethan yelled at me and this time he was not backing down.
I was on my knees again and crying so hard that it was more like screaming and caused Sebastian to bust through the door after locking him and anyone else who might try coming in. “WHY…. PLEASE JUST ANSWER ME WHY…… JUST ONE THING ONE SIMPLE THING’’ I begged as I cried/screamed more and louder each time. Sebastian was on the floor by my side trying to calm me when my father ran into the room freaking out “what is happening right now…. Do I need to call Jake over?” he asked. Sebastian was on his feet shaking his head “No she…. Ummm Sharene left without saying good bye…” “Oh No she said good bye but couldn’t do it to my face….. now just give me 5 mins….. and I’ll see you both at the house” I yelled out as I stood and started pushing at first my father’s chest and then Sebastian who was hard as a rock and stood without moving when I used the strength I had to try and push him away.
The last shove he caught me up into his grip and held me against his chest “Shhhh Mia it’s ok I promise it wasn’t easy for her I promise” Sebastian said softly in my ear. My father left us knowing that Sebastian had it under control and trusted him enough not to ask any more questions. I heard the front door close, and I broke “Make it stop hurting…. My heart is breaking, and I don’t know what to do. How do adults deal with this shit…. I don’t understand why she felt like she had to leave instead of just talk to me about this…. my father would have even let her invite her parents and 6 week old daughter here. Damn it.,….” Sebastian pulled me back and looked at me like he was now confused until I shoved the neckless and locket into his hand. “Look just look…. It’s her on one side and an infant on the other… no way that’s just a friends’ child, sister, niece or whatever… as for me guessing the age of the baby it’s the age of the photo and I know photos” I said as I paced the room.
Ethan was there making the energy in the room that much thicker and driving me insane “This is what I was afraid of…. This is only going to block you more and I need you open again that’s why you haven’t been able to reach the dream state like you should. When you do you are not able to keep a hold of it. We just need to get through these next few days and weeks because before the summer is over you will be telling mother and father about everything including Kate and Amelia…. They have the right to know just like your friends do so they can help you heal” Ethan said loudly. I left Sebastian standing in the office as I snatched the neckless out of his hand and put it around my neck needing it close to me. I took off towards the house wanting to try and have a good time with everyone like I had been the last few days and almost back to myself.
However now I was angry, and the running helped with that anger of feeling like I was being left again like when my father’s moving truck was in the driveway. He of course thought I was stupid, and I thought I would never see him again. I pulled my cell from my back pocket and called my trainer back home. I asked him to sketch me out a rough drawing of what his dream gym would look like and even telling him to put some of my ideas in it. I wanted to have a gym built here on the island so if I wanted, I could come here for a break and have what I needed to let off steam besides my usual. All I could see in the back of my mind was the night I spent with Sharene and the first day I met her. When really saw her and her infectious smile and personality even though I had not seen her, right away.
Sharene’s eyes are what stopped me dead in my tracks as I tried to get her out of my head as they were the most beautiful turquoise color so amazing that who wouldn’t fall for her and who she was. Yet she really never opened up enough for me to get to know her except what I could read in her body language and the way she touched me. Now with the letter she had written me. I entered through the front door instead of the back taking the longer way around needing the extra time to get myself under control before joining everyone. “Lets’ drink and play games, this is however a bachelor party now, isn’t it? I think we should make dirty little cookies shaped as penises too, then maybe dig down deep and tell one another a secret we’ve never said out loud to a soul. I need a distraction and a good one now please” I begged everyone who was standing there staring at me.
Something on my face and tone must have warned everyone not to piss me off as they all laughed and agreed that it would be fun. “How about we start with a little dinner, then dirty cookies” Greta said with a laugh as she pulled me into her arms. She then walked us to the dining room where the food was already waiting. My mother looked as though she was worried and my father the same, but my friends were seeing a part of me that had not seen in a few weeks. “That’s my girl….” “Exactly where has she been all this time” “I know right…. Thought maybe someone had taken over her and possessed her or something” Catherine, Nicholas and Jose had all said back-to-back making us all laugh. By 2 am we were all so exhausted from eating, playing games, crying, drinking even the crew got in on it and I got to know them a little better. “I guess my issue is why do people just leave without saying goodbye… or at least not to your face a goodbye?” I asked when Jasmine wanted to know what was on my mind.
I was not sure how she might take it or what she was picking up since Ethan had been there all night but was on his best behavior for the most part. Victor answered my question without hesitation “Some people just are not cut out for staying in one place for too long, some are running from things they can’t really outrun. That has nothing to do with you though and never take it personal. Don’t worry though you’ll find your way through life and on the right path for you, you’re smart, beautiful and can do anything you set your mind to.” Jasmine watched me as Victor spoke which I listened and took it all in as I felt my body getting tired and ready for bed. “Well Capt. Vic that was some real shit…. Deep shit so thanks for that” I said as I held the locket in my hand keeping it protected.
Jasmine kept her eyes on me trying to read me as best she could with all things considered. I was getting the play by play from Ethan who found it all so funny that Jasmine was so intrigued. “So, Jas is there anything else you want to ask me… or Ethan…?” I asked nonchalantly before getting to my feet from the floor. My legs had fallen asleep as Catherine laid on my thighs between my legs most of the night and even started to doze off. Jasmine had said nothing as she just watched me and my friends as though we were the most interesting people she had ever met.
