Chapter 3
Jenna, Greg, Adam and Liz looked up with tears when they saw Tommy come back inside the room.
"Matt…" Jenna, Greg, Adam and Liz all said. They went up to Tommy and hugged him.
Tommy hugged his siblings; they shared a family hug, as he let tears fall.
After they stopped hugging, Tommy looked up at his mother, only to find the woman lacking with any emotion on her face.
Tommy immediately angered when she left the room.
"Matt, that's just how she deals with things like this" Liz told him.
Tommy only nodded but kept the look of anger on his face, because he knew better.
Adam and Liz didn't know but, Tommy, Jenna and Greg knew that their mother hadn't loved their dad once Liz was born. Their mother was only married to their dad for his money. Tommy suspected that their mother poisoned their dad.
He suspected this because, when his dad was sick, it was only a cold. His mother brought his dad soup in bed. That was normal, nothing out of the ordinary, until his dad got even worse, slowly. It was becoming worse every time his mother brought his dad soup.
Tommy wasn't there at the times it happened but Jenna and Greg were. They told him about what was going on and he went there to check on things.
Jenna and Greg had also told him that their dad was experiencing weakness, tremors, labored breathing, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, rash, stomach upset, drowsiness, depression, tiredness, weariness, stupors, dizziness, and hallucinations.
Tommy had looked up poisons and found those symptoms as most of the symptoms of the poison, Diazepam.
Tommy told a doctor that and the doctor just thought he was crazy.
The doctor just brushed it off. Tommy went to another doctor and another, and they said the same thing as the first doctor. Tommy gave up trying to talk to the doctors, but he didn't let it go.
One day when he was looking in a cabinet over the stove in his dad's house, he found a vile of Valium behind various boxes of food. Valium is another form of Diazepam.
Tommy then knew that his dad was poisoned with Valium and poisoned by his mother.
Tommy told Jenna and Greg this and they agreed.
Adam and Liz still don't know.
Tommy didn't want to believe it but, he had to. Tommy, Jenna, and Greg all had to tell Adam and Liz, but didn't know how to approach it.
"Jenna can you go call the mortician and funeral home so we can give dad a funeral?" Tommy turned to Jenna.
"Yeah sure" Jenna walked out of the room.
Tommy walked over to the bed and pulled the sheet over his dad's body.
"Adam, Liz, Greg and I need to tell you some things and we don't know where to start" Tommy said.
"How about we get out of this room? I can't take it in here" Liz suggested, sniffling.
"Agreed" Greg said.
They went down to the living room and sat down on opposite couches. Tommy and Greg sat next to each other and Adam and Liz sat next to each other.
"Liz, when you said that mother acted the way she did was because that's how she dealt with things like this, you were wrong. She has been this way ever since you were born. Adam and you have just failed to notice" Greg started.
"She only wants dad's money. It started out slowly. It started like mother not spending so much time with us and dad, going to the spa four times a week, all gradual like that. Then mother started to not spend time with us at all. We only saw her here. Didn't you notice that?" Tommy added. Tommy didn't hear the answer for his question because his cell rang.
Tommy looked at the I.D. and saw that it was Jude.
"Um Greg, can you finish telling them what's going on? I'm going take this call" Tommy asked.
"Alright" Greg said.
"Thanks" Tommy walked into another room.
His cell rang one more time and answered.
(Tommy in italics and Jude in bold italics)
Hello?
Tommy, what's going on? Where are you?
I have a lot of family stuff to deal with, so I'm at my parent's house. I'll tell you more later but I can't say anything right now.
Why can't you tell me? There's something wrong I can tell.
Yeah there is but just tell Darius that I won't be at work for the rest of the week. I have lot of things I have to take care of.
Well what about my album?
You're almost done with it. You'll be fine. Look Jude, I have to go. I'll talk to you later ok?
Ok fine. We'll talk later. Bye Tommy.
Bye Jude.
Tommy sighed. He hated not telling Jude about his life but, at the same time he hated remembering his past.
He wasn't one to show sadness and cry, but bringing his life and family up would make him cry, especially now.
Tommy knew that Jude would be sympathetic towards his situation if he told her now, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
Tommy walked back to the living room to find all four of his siblings waiting for him.
He noticed that Adam and Liz looked shocked and angry. Greg and Jenna looked at Tommy and both sighed, neither knowing what to do next.
Tommy being the oldest was turned to for guidance. Truth be told, Tommy didn't know what to do either.
