Thanks for the reviews!
Chapter 29
Megan's POV
My phone rings and I see it's an 800 number so I already have an idea who it is. I answer and it's a collect call from Kevin. I don't know why, but I accept the call. "Why do you keep calling me? I'm not going to help you!" I say to him. This isn't the first time he called me. The other times, I didn't accept the call.
"Come on Megs." Ugh, I hate when he calls me that. "We should be closer than that."
"We're not close at all and stop calling me Megs!"
"We fucked! Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
God, he's disgusting! "No it's doesn't!"
"Let me guess, you fucked Kenny and thought he was better in bed?"
"What? No! Not that it's any of your business, but Kenny and I haven't even slept together."
"Good to know."
"Bye Kevin."
"Don't hang up! I need you! You're the only person I trust."
"No you don't."
"You're the only woman in my life that hasn't fucked my brother. You mean something to me."
For a second there, I almost feel sorry for him, but at the same time I think about what he did to Kenny and that feeling goes away. "Well you don't mean shit to me! I only fucked you to help Kenny! I was high on a sleeping pill!"
"Whatever, I need money!"
"I'm not bailing you out of jail!"
"My bail was denied so that's not why I need money."
"Then why do you need money?" I ask raising my eyebrow.
"I umm…need to pay some people. I have to go to trial soon and I need to make sure these women don't talk."
Aha! He's trying to buy his client's silence. "No way!"
"You don't have you use your money. Just go to my house and get the money. They froze my accounts, but I keep a stash at home."
"Bye Kevin! I'm not helping you!"
"Why not?"
"Because you're exactly where you need to be! Don't contact me ever again!" I hang up the phone. The nerve of that man! He ruined Kenny's life and now he's getting exactly what he deserves. I hope that son of a bitch rots in jail.
Stan's POV
Kyle came to town for Kevin's trial. The sorry bastard is going to stay behind bars where he belongs for a long time. Kyle and I decide to go out for drinks to discuss everything. "Dude! I still can't believe you set this up!" I cheers him.
"It was nothing." Kyle smirks. "I'm just glad Kevin is behind bars."
"So you really don't blame Megan for Kenny's relapse?"
He shakes his head. "No. But if the attention was on her, which it was, it was only a matter of time before Kevin slipped up which he did. If he knew we were onto him, he would've been more careful."
I take a drink. "Damn, now I have to apologize to that bitch."
Kyle nods. "We all do. She didn't deserve the way we treated her. Even if it was an act on mine and Karen's part, we still said some hurtful things to her."
"I still don't think she's right for Kenny. She's still a former drug addict and he could relapse again."
"It doesn't matter, she's not into Kenny anyway. Even if she were, Kenny would have to figure that out."
I completely taken aback. "I can't believe this is coming from you of all people."
"I know you're not fond of Megan, but she's not the bad guy in this case."
"You don't like her either…or was that part of your act too?"
Kyle shrugs. "I don't like nor dislike her. She's irrelevant to me."
I nod in agreement. "Yeah. I still can't believe Kevin got 75 years in jail."
"I'm not surprised. He was convicted of so many crimes. Drug trafficking, pandering, extortion, harassment, aggravated assault, and criminal threats. He deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars for what he did to Kenny!"
"I just wish Kenny could've been there to see him convicted." Kenny is still in rehab and wasn't allowed to attend the trial. Kyle's dad went there on his behalf to present Kenny's side.
"Me too. He has to get prepared for his own court case."
"How much trouble is he going to be in?" I ask.
Kyle shrugs again. "I'm not sure, but my dad said it's not a good look that he OD'ed after getting caught with drugs. However, he did say being in rehab may work in his favor. So he may avoid jail time."
"I hope so. I would hate to see him end up behind bars too."
"I agree, he wants to get his life together. I want to see that too."
I nod. "I want that more than anything. The only thing is, if he goes to jail, what's going to happen to Little Dude?"
"Good question. I mean, Karen is going to college in the fall. His parents are in no position to care for him, and who knows where Jessica is. Dude, it may have to be you and Wendy, or he'll have to go into the system."
"NO!" I slam down my glass. "As stressful as it is to care for him, I can't let that happen to Little Dude! He wouldn't be able to handle being around strangers."
"You should discuss that with Kenny and my dad before his trial. Just in case the worst happens."
"You're right." Damn, I never thought about the possibility of Little Dude being put into the system. I would hate to see that happen to the poor little guy. He's been through enough as it is.
"Even if Kenny doesn't go to jail, he's in a wheelchair. He's going to need help getting around when he gets out of rehab."
"He's not going to go for that and you know it."
"I know, but he's not going to have a choice. Until he's completely back on his feet, he's going to need help. Plus someone has to take him to dialysis."
"Kenny has too much pride dude."
"He's not going to have a choice. He's not trying to get up and walk so what else can be done?"
"Where's he going to go?"
"I don't know, maybe he can come to Jersey. He could use a change of scenery."
"We need to keep him close to home. We don't want Little Dude to change schools or anything."
"That's true. I would just hate for Kenny to be wheelchair bound and stuck fending for himself."
"He's making some progress with walking. It doesn't last long, but he's trying. He's still in physical therapy."
Kyle lets out a sigh of relief. "That's a plus. We have to keep an open mind because there's so many scenarios that could happen with him. I want make sure no matter what, Drew is well taken care of."
"He will be, don't worry." I smile. I honestly have a strong feeling that Kenny is going to face some jail time and I'm worried about Little Dude. What's going to happen to him if Kenny goes to jail?
A/N: Next chapter is the last one! What do you think is going to happen?
