I had been getting suspicious for a while. Company issues between mom and my boyfriends older brother. I was in his office one day actually. Tommy's office. Waiting for mom to finish up at work. I'm not normally the nosy type and I wasn't nosing around this time. Just something caught my eye, on the left-hand side of his desk. Some papers.
Tommy was trying to push mom out of the company!
As you can tell this was a very tricky situation. Trauma would follow with whichever decision I chose. If I told Justin, my boyfriend. Well he would probably call it off right away. Call us off! I couldn't handle losing Justin; especially not over this.
The problem really came with me not telling. If anyone knew I knew...
Guaranteed I'd get involved in some legal procedure. Poor mom... I know we always fight but I really do care about her. I could not accept the fact that she was being exploited by Tommy.
After a restless night and a pint of Ben and Jerry's, I realized honestly would be the best Policy. Otherwise I would probably spend the rest of my life shrouded in guilt and as always, the truth would eventually come out.
My heart was racing. Meeting Justin for lunch, I had to say something. I really was afraid that I would lose him. Lose the love of my life. Justin Walker.
"Had I done the wrong thing?" I thought, in tears on my couch, after fighting with him. I wasn't lying, I told nothing but the truth, but Tommy was his brother, he didn't believe me. Thought I was against him and his family...
Did I make the right decision?
Well, looking back. I know I did. What Tommy did was wrong, no one can argue that.
Justin came back to me eventually. Once he realised what I said was true. I guess all I have left to say, well it's to give some advice. Follow your conscience, if you know something is wrong and there is hard proof, then do something about it! We will always be faced with difficult decisions in life and making the right one will never be easy.
Remember, just because the instant result doesn't seem great, it doesn't mean you made the wrong decision. Things can, and do change. For the better.
