The Morgan Penthouse: Standing Up
Read Chapter One for all Disclaimers
Hi guys.I am sorry for the long wait. I was on vacation and had no computer access. I'm also sorry for the little boxes and odd lettering that was on the last chapter. I'm trying to correct that and I think I have. Thanks for all of the reviews for the last chapter! Also it was mentioned in a review that last chapter I made a BIG mistake! I said that Journey was engaged when in truth for my story they are married (like I said in chapter one). I am really sorry for the inconsistancy and wanted to say that the reviewer was right. Okay, I'm done now. Read on....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Morgan Penthouse, Early Morning (Day after the Dates)
Dillon was going to kill whoever was on the phone. It was way too early to be making any calls as far as he was concerned. It could be for Jason's work or, even better, Georgie. So he was willing to be polite until he found out who the insane caller was.
"Hello?" He said into the mouthpiece.
"Dillon? Oh good. It's me Emily. I'm sorry for calling so early but its a emergency. I was talking to Ned this morning, you know, because of the time difference it was a really early call. Well it woke Grandfather up and he came into the den to see who it was. But before I knew he was there I told Ned where you were staying. Grandfather heard me and is charging to the penthouse right now!" Emily told him in a rush.
Dillon groaned, but was still grateful for the heads up. "Thanks Em. I'd better call Jason. I'll see you later." Then he disconnected.
Dillon hung up the phone then picked it up again. He began to dial Jason's cell. * Jasons gonna love this....*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~10 minutes later
Dillon had called Jason and then quickly gotten dressed. He figured they had a bit of time before Grandfather got to the penthouse. He was wrong.
Through the door he could hear his Grandfather's booming voice yelling at Johnny. "Get your hands off me! Now, you open that door right this instant. I'm here to collect my grandson!"
But as it seemed Johnny wasn't doing what Edward wanted. And while he lived for hearing his dear old Grandpa yell about all that unimportant stuff, his voice was giving Dillon a headache. "Its okay Johnny, let him in. Jason will be here soon." He told the pissed looking guard as he opened the door.
Edward waltzed into the penthouse without a word. After Dillon closed the door he calmly began to talk. "Alright boy. You've had your fun. Get your things."
Dillon let out a sigh. * This is going to be a long day.*. He could tell already. "Sorry, I live here now. You kicked me out, remember?"
"Yes well that was a unfortunate mistake on my part. I thought that you would have the sense to come back and agree to live under my rules after you had lived as a homeless for a night. But you went past my expectations. But that doesn't matter now. You may come back." Edward stated.
Dillon was shocked. * Was that a compliment? No, it couldn't be.*. "You know Grandfather that was almost 50 percent compliment. Is that a personal best?"
Edward, to Dillon's great suprise, let out a chuckle. "It really is sad how much you are like your mother."
Just before Dillon got the chance to say something back the door opened. Jason walked in without a word and stood next to Dillon. In his hand was a piece of paper.
"Jason, how lovely of you to join us. Why don't you go upstairs and help Dillon pack. He is coming back to the mansion with me." Edward directed to wayward grandson.
Jason stood motionless, no expression on his face. "No, he stays here."
"Now see here, young man. Tracey left the boy with me. I make the decisions concerning him. Not you." Edward informed him. Dillon was pleased to notice that Jason didn't even flinch.
"No, not anymore." Jason told him. Dillon was begaining to wonder what would happen. What Edward said was true. Jason could get in a lot of trouble for keeping him. Knowing that jerk Scotty Baldwin he might even get accused of kidnapping.
"What do you mean? People can't understand you when you don't form complete sentances."
Jason said nothing. Instead he just handed Edward the paper he had in his hand.
Edward accepted the paper. He read it over. Then he read it again. Dillon noticed that Grandfather's puffed peacock look was coming back.
"What is this rubbish?"
"Its a paper from Tracey saying that I have guardianship of Dillon."
Dillon was shocked. *GUARDIANSHIP? What the hell? How did he get that?*
Edward looked equally shocked. He had gone past puffed peacock and into a place that Dillon didn't even know existed. "Its a fake! It has to be!" He yelled.
Jason, though, looked completely unperturbed. "You'll be getting a copy for yourself soon. You don't get to act like you own him now." Jason continued as though this type of thing happened to him all the time. And Dillon was just one of many kids he had obtained the rights to. Jason took back the piece of paper, and opened the door. "You can go now."
Edward walked to the door . "You wait Jason. My lawyers will rip this to shreds!" . Then with one last evil eye to Jason he left.
Jason closed the door. Then as he turned to Dillon he said, "Sorry I took so long."
"Guardianship?" Dillon asked. * No way did Mom do that.*
"Yeah well, I knew Edward would try that so I tracked down your mom a while ago.We started the papers when you first got here, just incase. I asked her to sign the papers saying that while she was gone I was your legal guardian."
Dillon was still confused. "She actually said yes?"
A small almost nonexistant smile formed on Jason's face. "At first she said no. But when I told her how pissed it would make Edward she seemed to like the idea more."
Dillon smiled at his cousin "Yeah, that sounds like Mom."
I'm a 14 year old girl, not a lawyer so be kind. Okay. I gotta know. DID YOU LIKE IT? Please, for my sanity and the continuation of the story. Tell me. Review.
