Chapter 10: TOW Parents find out Part 2
Later that day we were at the coffees shop just talking as usual well that was untill I got a pretty wierd and scary text from my mom...
" I know you're at the coffee house with your friends but I would like to talk to you private, it's your call if you want your friends to stay I dont force you... I'll be there in 15 minutes. Love mom"
" What do you guys think?" I asked showing the text
"Pretty obvious to me Monica told your mom abaut everything... That's why she wants you alone" Alex said
" Something tells me there is more to this than there is to the eye... Something doesn't add up, if she knows abaut everything I think she would wanna talk to you too and why would Monica alert you guys if she doesn't know that we know. Something is up and I want to know what and I think 3 pairs of ears and eyes see and hear more than just one. I say your call what do you want to do. I can handle this if you guys wanna go..." I said to Alex
" There is absoulutely no chance that we'll leave I want to see what's up that text was so wierd it was like a warning, but for what or who? That's the real question." Jes said
Before we had time to think any further My mom showed up. Seemed to be pretty surprised that I'm not alone.
" Hi honey Ithought that I said I want you to be alone..." My mom began.
" You know that you can say in front of them anything that you say to me... And just for the future reference, if you want me to be alone don't send me a text that makes me wonder was it really you that sent the message. Simple I need to talk to you urgently come home as soon as you can would have been more than enough. So what's up?" I asked
" Well how abaut we begin by you telling your boyfriend? Rumor has it that you have had one over month now..." Mom startted
" Mom you're like me you don't just believe in rumors so spill it, who told you? Yeah and it's true I do have a boyfriend..." I decided to just go with the truth hoping that my mom would too, that seemed to surprise both girls
" Happend to run into certain Emily Waltham, ring any bells? She told me abaut a month ago abaut both you and Jack" She looked both me and Alex
" So it was Emily who betrayed us I knew she couldn't be trusted..." Alex began
I showed her to shut up for now something told me that there was something wrong. I didn't believe one second that Emily would've betrayed us. But I decided to play along for now...
" So Emily betrayed us never saw that one coming. She told that she wouldn't tell you. Pretty harsh, so the most important question are you okay with this?" I asked tried not to sound too suspisious
" Haven't you learned anything from your fathers story she can't be trusted she's manipulative bitch. Against my better judgement, I invited her to dinner tomorrow, but I haven't told your father yet that you can do yourself, but do it by tomorrow." She said
I thought there was still something of. She didn't tell everything if she wasn't complitely lying... But I knew that I probably don't get anymore information from her and I had one idea where to start looking for more clues.
" If I can talk with these guys private before that, then I'm fine." I said
"Fine as long as they leave before you tell. You might get grounded you know" My mom said
" Fine let's go to home and my room" I said
Little later we were in my room everyone was pretty shocked so not much words were said until Alex decided to open up the conversation
"Okay what was that you let your mother walk over you and your possible future mother in law, shouldn't you atleast defend her at times like this?" Alex asked
" Would've been pointless, if my mother really hates her I can't change her mind without Emily being here. If she was bluffing and trying to freak me out then everything will be okay tomorrow anyways. No need to rush things... This is excactly the reason why I wanted her to with me when I tell" I said
" Well then why did you ask us here if you think your mom is bluffing?" Jes asked
" I need to know the truth abaut everything before I talk with my dad. " I said with serious face
"Truth? What do you mean? Do you mean there is something that is wrong?" Jes said with little panic
" Actually there is more lies than there is truth in the air and you know that. Why don't you begin by telling us why did you tell abaut Jack and Alex to my mom?" I said trying to stay as calm as possible
" Wait you don't seriously expect me to believe that Jes was the one who told..." Alex startted
" I'm sorry Alex that was pure accident, a slip up to be exact, as for you Emma I think you know why I told abaut you... But I'm curious how did you figure it out?" Jes asked trying to calm her self down
" I know, to just have some back up if everything goes to heywire. You know Jes if enough small things don't make any sense then the whole picture falls appart. First clue was the fact how easy it has been to hide, my mom hasn't questioned anything didn't make any sense. Second thing was this whole meeting. Why today? If she has known from the day one then she should have talked to me sooner, unless someone has asked not to untill time is right. Also the fact that Emily told her I didn't believe that for one second. If she wanted to sabotage our relationship then she would have found some other way... You're a good friend and I trusted you..." I said but got cut off
"Hey I didn't want to hurt you, you know that right?. I just got so pissed off when I realised what you were trying to pull on me..." Jes began
" I know and I'm not mad at you but you should've told Alex... You know I find ways around things if I really needed and I could have even told her earlier if I knew she knows. But you should know how scared Alex has been abaut this whole thing, I'm sure that you to could have agreed that you dont tell me. But I don't think there is a point to continue this story any further now. 'I'm pretty sure that Jack, Melissa and Dan want to hear the whole story as well." I said with a smile
" How come you're this calm abaut this aren't you scared that you might get grounded or something. You're taking a pretty big chance here." Alex said
" In love there is allways a chance, you should know that allready Alex. I just needed a reminder of that myself. You can prepear as much as you want but still there is still chance becouse it isn't just abaut you." I said with a teaching voice
" Well it's good to see that you have learned the lesson I wanted to teach you" Jes said with a smile
" And here I was thinking that I will have to let your father teach you that lesson" I heard from the door
" Mom... You're way too predictable, you know that... So I'm quessing you've talked with Emily and you're somewhat okay with it?" I asked
" If I'm so predictable then why did you think that I would let somehting from almost 20 years ago come between my daughter and her first serious boyfriend? I don't lie to you I didn't like the idea at first, but when I met with Emily I realised that there is no reason to let something like that to come between you two... I didn't tell becouse Jessica said that you're gonna need a lesson abaut how you can't control love. The lesson you've tought to these girls forever since me and your dads story." Mom said trying to tease me
" Well it took 7 years and me to get you over my dad's cheating and this woman tried to make you not see the love of your life and knowing your jealousy in the past I wasn't complitely sure... And as you yourself said you didn't like it at first. And I wanted to make sure that my relationship was something more than just a crush, which I can tell you that it is I'm badly in love... So did you really not tell my dad yet?" I said with a little sigh
"First did you really think I would make this that easy for you? Second Your father woul've talked abaut it with you he wouldn't kept it as a secret I'm sure of it. Sorry honey but that's your final test before you can date him officially."
"Well to be honest I was hoping you would say that. Dad should hear it from me and not anyone else. I would've liked to tell to you also myself but that's not gonna happen so atleast I can do this. How do you think he will take it?" I asked with hope
" To be honest I'm not sure. I think he will want to meet the guy first before he can make judgement."
" Judgement abaut what or who?" I heard,of course it was my dad
" I will go good luck, she will tell you" My mom said pointing at me
" What do you want us to do, stay or leave?" Alex asked
" Your call, I can understand if you want to leave but I will appreciate if you'll stay..." I said
" We can stay so why not tell him what you wanted to tell he looks pretty intrested..." Jes said
" Thanks guys, well judgement abaut my first serious boyfriend..." I said proudly
" You have a boyfriend, since when? I guess your mother is right I need meet this guy before I can say anything abaut him but I just can't believe that my little girl is growing up. Well tell me abaut this guy. I assume a school friend." My dad startted I decided to interupt
" Well we've been seeing each other for a month now you're right he is a friend from school he's name is Daniel Waltham" I decided to stop there for obvious reasons...
"Wait Waltham Is he some relation to Emily you know my ex-wife?" My dad asked confused
" Yeah Emily is his mother, his dad left him before he was born. And yeah I have met Emily allready she's looking forward to see you again and she has forgiven both of you what happend back then..."
" Wow and Your mother is okay with this? Didn't think that I will ever see Emily again if your mom is okay with this then so am I, but remember that I want to meet the guy also." Dad said with serious face
"From what I can tell mom has realised that there is no point of keeping hatred for something that happend allmost 20 years ago, and yeah of course you'll meet him, he's my boyfriend there is no way you wouldn't meet" I said happily
" If that's true then I don't have any objections little catch up would be in order though..."
"As I said of course I'll try to get some kind of reunion to happen " I said
" Good I look forward to that, oh by the way hate to tell you this but I knew in advance abau this..." Dad said
" Let me guess Carol told you?" I said knowingly
" How did you know that? She said that she hasn't told neither of your friends and anyone that should be that close to you..." Dad startted to wonder
" Doesn't anyone know how close I am with Ben nowdays? Without him I would be pretty much lost right now, but thanks to him I got some time to prepeare for everyone knowing" I said pretty much irratated.
" Well of course should have known, but I leave you three alone now, hey Emma I can see that you're happier than ever so I'm not against it" Dad said
"Thanks you're the best" I said and dad walked away
"I just hope I can get mom to see it too" I said when dad had gone far enough
"What do you mean, do you think that your mom still has something against Emily?" Alex asked
" I'm not complitely sure but I think I have to prepear for war and fight for my right for love, it's good to knoiw that I atleast have dad on my side... I'm going to make peace between those three even if it's through war" I said shaking my head
"I hope you know what you're doing you know that there is only month before their 10th year anniversery. You don't want to be in war with neither of those three at that time..." Jes warned me
" I hope that too and I'm gonna get those three to get along before that I want to be there with my boyfriend..." I said
" I just don't think it's gonna be that easy" Jes said
" I know it isn't but they have to see that there is no reason for them to hate eachother anymore."
" I guessing you allready have some ideas?" Alex asked
" Couple ideas yeah but first I need to know what the hell is up with my mom."
I was more determined than ever to get those two to get along. I wasn't quite sure how was I gonna do it. But i had decided that failure wasn't gonna be an option. Unfortinatly behind my back my mom had allready startted turn my fathers head...
Ross' POV
I was lieing on the bed with Rachel I saw that she was clearly upset abaut something...
"Honey you seem to be upset abaut something please tell what it is?" I asked
" It's just abaut Emma, what are we gonna do abaut her, I don't wanna have Emily in my life again..." Rachel said sounding very worried abaut it
" Honey it has been almost 20 years now, we've been married for almost 10 do you really think that if Emma dates Emilys son, it would put our marriage in danger I highly doubt that she doesn't want me back no matter what she probably doesn't want to have 3rd divorce..." I tried to convince her
"What if she tries to get back to us through Emma I don't want her to get hurt becouse of us" She said trying to turn my head
" You know if you really don't want her to date Daniel you've gotta talk straight to her. You know how much she hates when people plot behind her back. And I don't you two to fight this close to our 10th anniversery... " I tried to secure peace in the house
" But what she's gonna do? She hasn't rebelled does she really know how to even handle a fight like this?"
" I don't think we want to know what exactly is she gonna do. She has learned to be very resourceful when she needs to be. Imagine if Jessica didn't tell you that they were dating? How would you have found out? I know I wouldn't have known before she told me if Carol didn't call me..."
"Wait Carol called you? How does she know?" Rachel began to wonder
" What I heard from Emma she knows becouse Monica called her...For how does Monica know I have no clue..."
" Well Monica probably has connected the dots from Jack and Alex to Emma and Daniel. Maybe I'll talk to Monica tomorrow and try get her to see my POV..."
" Wouldn't it be easier you try to get along with Emily? Atleast that long that she gives some kind of reason not to trust her..." I still tried to convince her
" She has given me enough reason to hate her allready. One teenagelove isn't gonna change that. Emma will see it one way or another" Rachel seemed to be more determined than ever
" But count me out becouse I don't want my daughter to hate me..." I warned her
" Well she's coming for dinner tomorrow atleast so I can see how much I can tolerate her" She said
I wasn't sure but something told me that Emma was the more stubborn one out of these two. And I trusted her to find a way to convince her mother I knew that I don't have a chance to do that.
You didn't think it was gonna be that easy now did you? Technically the next one is still direct contiuation to this but stilll gonna name it; The one where there has to be room for love...
As allways would appriciate reviews, follows and favoritings to know that I'm doing something right here. hope you enjoy
