My New Life

The Will

The Will

Ashton’s POV

The receptionist informs us we will be meeting with Mr. Black and Mr. Heart on the top floor. So we walk over to the elevators and Luke pushes the button for the 20th floor.

 “So does anyone else find it strange that we are meeting with two lawyers instead of just one?” I ask.

“I’m more curious of the name, Black, Black Heart?” Mike says.

“Actually, Its Black, Black AND Heart” Luke tells him.

“Shut up Luke,” Mikey snaps at him.

The doors ding and open to the 20th floor. We walk out into this small hallway. There is another receptionist there as well she leads us to a door that says conference room 21. We walk in there are two men sitting at the table. The get up and greet us. We introduce ourselves. And we all sit down.

“Now, Mr. Irwin, we are sorry for your loss, we are going to go over the details of your fathers will,” says Mr. Black.

“I don’t understand why he would leave anything to me, when I haven’t heard from him since I was a kid,” I state.

“Yes, well, he left you a letter, a small sum of money and something else but he wanted you to read the letter first,” Mr. Heart says handing me a letter.

I take it and read it. It says,

My Dearest Son,

                I know we don’t have a very good relationship. However if I pass I don’t know who else to give this too. You see a few years after I left, which I do regret, I fell in love with this women, she was beautiful and perfect for in every way. Eventually we married. And after a few years she decided she wanted to have a child. So we did, we had a little girl named LilyAnn Ashley Irwin. She reminded me of you, when you was a baby, that’s why I chose Ashley for her middle name. When LilyAnn was 7 tragedy struck and my wife died. Leaving me to raise LilyAnn alone.  If something where to happen to me you would be the only family LilyAnn has left so I ask that you please take care of her. She will need you.

Always your father,

William F. Irwin

I sit in shock. I have another baby sister. I pass the letter to the guys letting them read it. As I look up at the lawyers. “Where is she?” I ask. “Right now, she is in the hospital, however, tomorrow she will be leaving to come here.” Mr. Black informs me.

“Why is she in the hospital?” I ask.

“Is there for a checkup, after everything,” Mr. Heart replies.

“Could you tell us how he? ,How did my father pass?” I ask.

“We aren’t exactly sure what happened but we do know that your father was shot, he passed on the way to the hospital,” Mr. Black says.

“Oh,” is all I can say to that.

“So, do we need to pick up LilyAnn and the Airport tomorrow? And what can you tell us about her?” Calum asks.

“Yes, her plane will land at 9:30AM, and a social worker has sent this file over on her,” Mr. Heart says.

“Is there anything else?” Mr. Black asks.

“No I think that’s all,” Mikey says. We all get up and shake hands they hand me a envelope and tells me it has all the information about the money dad left me and the file on LilyAnn.

We walk back out to the car. Calum is driving again and this time Luke is up front. While me and Mikey are in the back.

“You should look over those papers Ash,” Luke says.

“Yeah, might as well,” I reply. I pull out the file on my sister and hand it to Mikey, as I look over the other papers.

“What the hell?” I say.

“What?” the Calum asks as Luke turns in his seat to look at me.

“you know how the lawyer said he left me a small sum of money?” I ask.

“Yeah?” they reply.

“Well according this, his wife, LilyAnn’s mom came from a wealthy family, and when she passed, my dad got it all, and he left me $ 1billion us dollars for just me, then he left $3 billion to spend on LilyAnn until she comes of age, not including and allowance of one hundred dollars a week, that automatically gets put on a card for her. And when she turns 21 she gets the rest.” I say shocked.

“well hopefully she isn’t one of those stuck up spoiled bitches,” Calum says.

“what does her file say?” Luke asks.

We all look at Mikey as he opens the file I gave him.

“Oh, she’s pretty,” he says with a smile, and pass’s me the first photo I ever see of my little sister.

She has long black curly hair, bright green eyes; she is smiling at the camera, showing her dimples, she has on an All Time Low t-shirt and a blue long sleeve shirt under it.  

“This says she likes to go running, write, draw, cook, sing, she can play piano and guitar, but she spends most of her time reading and listening to music, she went to private school where she got straight A’s until about a year ago, when she started to go to school online.” Mikey informs us, just as we pull up to the house, and get out.

“Do you think we should do up the spare bedroom for her or take her shopping so she can decorate it herself?” Calum asks.

“Well, we could paint it tonight so it’s ready for tomorrow,” Luke suggests, “then she can go and get what she wants to decorate it.”

“Well this says her favorite colors are Black and Blue,” Mikey says looking at the file.

“I’ll go clean out the room,” Luke says

“I’ll go get paint,” Calum say.

“Here you finish reading these, and I’ll order us pizza,” Mikey says handing me the file.
