Talk about a sticky situation. Bill was about three feet away from me. A safe distance, but I was not taking my chances. Her mom wasn't necessarily in her best mood. "Hey guys what's up?" My mum casually asked them. Your son got my daughter pregnant, that's what happened! "Bill boomed across the hall. I held my heart in my chest as I looked into Bills eyes. Madelyn was still on the table looking down into her bulged out belly. I ran through my mind trying to find a solution. I doubt Mr. Grey understood the situation. I was still yet to understand why he was here. All my mind was telling me to do was run, and that's exactly what I did. Did so straight to my room. Could just imagine Madelyn's stress right now but I didn't really want to care. Although I did. Schools was in a week, what was I to do. I mean, I couldn't just act responsible then what…. Raise the child. In my head I assumed everything will go back to the way it was. Stayed up there the whole day and locked my door. Woke up the next day, found Grey and my mum on the dining table. It was one hellhole after another. Unending. I sat down and was told that I was the one who facilitated the escape of the patients in White Rand. He went on further and said that I have to get down to the station for misconduct or something like that. Didn't really know what was going on in my mum's head. I just knew it wasn't gonna be pretty. It was the second time in the week I was there, kinda got used to the cell smells. Every time I was in places like this Aiden just came to my mind. I will never forget that day. I was with Cedrick and his fellas when I saw his mugshots on the news, followed by the announcement of the death of Rowland Prester. At first, I didn't want to believe. But when Mr. Grey called me in private to apologise, it hit me. For about 3 weeks I was...sad. But I got used to it…kinda. I wasn't really that close with him but you kinda realise you love someone when you lose them. I wasn't there to get my mum's reaction. All I know is that she firmly facilitated Aiden's arrest and imprisonment. I was sentenced to 5 days of community service which was not that bad. The only reason my mum didn't discuss the Madelyn thing is because she was destroyed by Rowlands's death. In the mornings she wakes up extremely late and just steps out. I have never quite figured out where she goes but again I didn't want to complicate things by asking her. I basically cooked and cleaned for the both of us. I was just worried of what she is going to do when I left for school. The start of senior year was in two days, my summer has been challenging. But I'll try my best to pull through and wind this whole thing once and for all. I went to Madelyn's a day before to try something, I guess. I didn't want us to end on such a bad note. Coz it was obviously gonna have to end. When I got there, the neighbours said that they moved out yesternight. I'll have to admit that that was kinda relieving. I promised myself never again will I go that far, and if I do, I'll be careful.
2nd September 2022. First day of senior year, didn't believe how far I have gotten but I'm grateful. I go to the bus stop, got in and confidently walked to class. I told myself that this was going to be a fresh start. NOTHING WAS GOING TO STOP ME.
