She told Evan the next day about it "wow, what are you going to do with it"
"Pay to have mum and dad place fix up plus get a new double garage for them since they only got a single garage and give them a new kitchen and bathroom"
"that awesome and what about you"
"I never thought about my self" Evan smile
"I know you always put others first"
"True"
"Does Eric know"
"No he and his mates gone up north for two weeks, that god"
"Are you going to tell your parents"
"I am and i'm going to surprise them,"
"good for you"
That night when she went and saw her parents she saw that they were upset "mum dad what going on"
"it nothing"
"come on you can tell me"
"We went to the bank for a loan because of what happened last month, they turn us down"
"What are you joking about, did they say why?" She then realizes that Eric lied to her and that made her mad when he broke his word.
"We got no collateral since the banks getting really tough on lone especially second mortgages"
"Well i got some great news for you both"
"what that dear" her mother said
"One of the residents who passed away left me in her will, she left me large amounts of money. So once the cheque is cleared tomorrow i'll transferred some of it over so you can get everything done plus i want you to get a quote to see how much it will cost to get a new bathroom, kitchen, and a double garage with concrete driveway"
''Your joking"
"Nope"
"Oh Rose you shouldn't have, that money is for you" Her mother said
"I want to help you, after all you got six children and fifteen grandchildren to worry about and this house mortgage is almost paid off"
"that true, you such a wonderful daughter"
"thanks mum, i wish i could stay but dinner is in half an hour and there are guests tonight"
"do you like it there"
"It not me dad" she stood up and gave them a hug
"One day i'll tell you" then she walked out of the house and headed to her in-laws for dinner.
The next day during the lunch hour, Rose went to the bank and transferred money into her parents account then returned back to school.
When Eric returned from his trip away with his mates, Rose was there waiting for him "Hey it's great that you…" Rose then slap him in the face and not knowing that Eric grand father and step mother saw what happened and wondering what that was about
"You lying bastard"
"what are you talking about"
"The loan, you told me that if I said yes to your proposal and we got married that you would make sure that their loan was approved. Well I did what you wanted and guess what, it was turned down. I married you so they could get the loan so they could get the drains and bathroom fix. You used me and my family so you can get what you want. I've had enough of your games and sleeping around, i'm going to pack my bags and go back to my parents' place where I can help them with my savings so they can use it to fix the damage that was done to the house and i'll be calling a lawyer to our wedding annulled after what you have done to me and my parents" she turn around and walk up the steps then stopped when he said
"Then I'll make sure that they lose their job" she turned around angrily and walked back down the steps when she saw Eric stepmom and grandfather reflection from a picture on the wall so she knows that they are listening in.
"You are not going to do such a thing"
"Why not you know i can and will"
"like with Jane Smith, Joe Adams and seven of the others whos been there for years"
"Yeah i got rid of them"
"Why, what did they ever did to you"
"they wouldn't give me what I wanted and I don't like people saying no to me"
"so you had them fired"
"Yeah i did"
"don't you care about what you have done to them, to me, my family and your family"
"no, I can do whatever I wanted and get away with it"
"How many women did you sleep with while away on your little trip"
"Two each day since I've been waiting to get into your panties"
"what you married me so you could have sex with me"
"Yep"
"Why"
"Cause i already did all the girls in my class and yours, so once i have sex with you i'll be king stud" he said smiling
"You're a sick bastard, if your family ever finds out what sort of guy you are, they would be ashamed of you and themselves for letting this go this far" she turned around and walked up the stairs to their bedroom where she started packing. Eric follows her with his bags. Eric stepmom and grandfather was shocked when what they just heard
"Oh my god I can't believe this dad Eric has gone to far, i feel sorry for Rose, she must of been going through hell for months"
"I agree, he has shame this family"
"That he has. I think we better talk to Rose and find out everything"
"i agree"
Ten minutes later they heard Rose walk down the stairs carrying two suitcases. So they walk into the foiler.
"Rose"
"I'm sorry I can't go on living a lie"
"Come and we will talk, leave your bags here" Mr Jackson said. She put her bags down and follow Eric mother and grand father out side where they sat down so no one can hear them talking
"We heard you and Eric arguing" Grad father said
"Tell us everything Rose that Eric has said and done"
"Are you sure you want to hear it"
"Yes"
Rose took a deep breath, then she told them everything from the beginning, the threats to her classmates including Evan, being a bully and what he and his mates did in class, everything including the names of the other employers that were fired and what he did to get them fired. The black mail, the threats, everything.
By the time she was finished she was crying. Her mother in law moved from where she was and sat next to Rose putting her arm around her shoulders. Then they heard a car pull up. They turn to see Evan showing up, he sees them and walks over to them. They saw his face
"Evan what happen to you" rose asked
"Dad, I bought a couple of cookies from a stall down from home, Dylan my brother found them and ate them he ended up in hospital high as a kite, the stomach contents and blood work showed it was a drug. It was in the biscuit, dad was pissed off about it so he hit me. I hit him back, it lasted for about five minutes. He didn't believe me about buying them from down the road and that they were hash biscuits. So I pack my bags and left" Rose stood up and walked over to him
"Here come and sit down. Mrs Jackson, I need first aid kit and ice please"
"Sure Rose" she stood up and went inside.
"What are you going to do"
"Leave school and get a better job"
"no Evan i want you to finish school, what about your mum"
"She went away for a few days to see an old friend up in St Davids"
"Ok"
"Are you ok Rose"
"I'm fine"
"Rose, I know you, talk to me please" She sat down close to him. She held onto his uninjured hand while looking at him then she shook her head.
"Evan" he turn to Mr Jackson
"Rose told Jane and me everything we know about the threats, bullying and blackmail" he turned to her to see she started to cry. He put his arms around her and she hugged him as she cried
"I'm so sorry Evan, I shouldn't of let it get this far"
"I know Rose, it was for your family, for their needs" When Mrs Jackson walked outside with the items, she put them on the table just as Evan and Rose pulled apart.
"Let me clean you up"
"You are good at that and one day you are going to make a great nurse"
"thanks Evan" Mr Jackson and his daughter in law watch Rose clean up to cuts and scratches. Then she picked up the bag that got ice in it and put it up against his black eye.
"There all done, any headaches"
"No lucky"
"If you do"
"Yes i know"
"where Eric" Mr Jackson asked
"He left when I was getting the first aid kit. I ask him where he was going, he said he had gone to see a friend"
"You mean his mistress, one of three that i know of and no i don't know who they are" Rose said
"How do you know this" Mr Jackson asked
"Easy on sunday night when he goes out, when he returns, I smell lavender and purfem. On Tuesday night, I smell a strong woody perfume. And on friday night, i smell vanilla and sweet peas. It the same smell for the past year because I can smell it on him when we were at school"
"I follow him on friday night, he went to a brothel and from what I saw, he is known in that place" Evan said
"What about the other two places" rose asked
"Sorry I don't know I was working at the time"
"it ok Evan"
"so Rose what are you planning on doing"
"go back to mum and dad's and see a lawyer about getting an annulment"
"Have you spoken to your parents" Evan asked
"no, not yet" Evan then stood up "Excuse me may I use your loo"
"Of course Evan" mr Jackson said
"thank you" then he walks strangely and quickly to the double doors which made Rose laugh
"He must be busting to go to the loo"
"It's good to see you smile and laughing Rose"
"It has been a while Jane"
"I can see that Evan can make you laugh," Mr Jackson said
"Yes he can" When Evan return few minutes later he was smiling
"Feeling better" Rose ask why trying not to laugh
"Much better thank you" He sat down.
They talk about what Eric did and how Evan stood up to him every time. Fifteen minutes later "mum dad" Rose said.
They all turn to see Rose's parents walk over to them. Rose got up and walked over and hugged them as she cried. "I called them" Evan said to the Jacksons
"Why"
"It about time they know but it up to Rose to tell them"
"We know what going on Evan"
"mum what how long"
"A week" they all sat down
"Ouch Evan did Eric do that to you"
"No, my dad did. We are not here to talk about me. It's rose"
"mum you said you know what going on"
"Yes. It was Laura who told Dave and me every thing that has been going on including the locket you got on your sixteenth birthday"
"Oh mum, dad i'm so sorry" her mum put her arm around Rose shoulder
"it's ok sweetie, we understand, but you still could of come and told us what was going on, if we had known, we could stop the wedding from going ahead"
"I know mum but" she shook her head
"It ok, now we know the truth about what is really going on"
"Mr Jackson, Jane when did you find out about what has been going on"
"An hour ago, Rose told us everything, we overheard her and Eric arguing and that how we found out what was really going on" Jane said
"I'm ashamed of what Eric has done not only to Rose but to my staff"
"Now you all know the truth," Evan said then he turned to Rose and put his hand into hers.
She turns to him "How are you feeling now that you parents know now what is going on"
"like a big weight lifted off my shoulders"
"It over now, Eric can't get away with what he has been doing for months"
"that true and thank you for being there for me"
"you know I'm here for you"
"yes i know" she leaned over and kissed him then he hiss in pain
"your lip" she said
"Yeah but i'll be fine just like you are" She turns to her parents
"mum, dad is it ok if I move back in with you"
"sorry love, we moved into a friend's place while the work being done on the house"
"oh"
"You can stay here, we move you into one of the other rooms" Mr Jackson said
"thank you but it would be better if i leave. I'll find a place"
"no Rose, we will find a place together" Evan said She turn to him
"what about school Evan"
"you both can stay in the guest house till the end of the year" Jane surgested
"We will pay rent, power" Evan said
"No, you don't call it part of compensation for what Eric put you both through" Mr Jackson said.
"Evan why aren't you staying at home" Mr Watson asked
"Dad, who do you think beat him up, it was his dad. He packed everything he owns up and left"
"what the inspector Jones beat you up Evan"
"Yeah and he my step dad, i don't know where my real father is"
"what is his name" Mr Jackson asked
"Sam Bridges"
"I can make some calls, to see what I can find out for you"
"Thanks"
