Rainy Days

On My Own pt.2

"Y-yes sir...I sincerely apologize for my mistake. It won't happen again."

I laughed quietly from her response, Charles let me go and took me up to the highest floor of the building, to his office. I sat down on the couch and so did he, I already planned out what I was going to say.

"What are you doing here? What did you do to your appearance? Where are your parents?"

I saw the concerned look on his face while he asked.

I explained everything, from a few years ago until yesterday, I started tearing up when I talked about the events from yesterday and I gulped when I got little flashbacks, the pain between my legs started to come back, I crossed my legs and I adjusted my whole position from discomfort. My hands started to sweat and I had a hard time keeping eye contact and I stuttered a lot. As I looked up I saw uncle's face, his expression was cold, emotionless and I could hear his heart pounding from across the table and I could see his killing intent from his body.

I was scared of what he will do, if he called my parents my life would be over.

"Please uncle Charles! Please don't call my parents I beg of you! They'll drag me back to New York and I can't handle it anymore!"

I never begged for anything in my life, but at that very moment I had to. I can't live life like that anymore, tears fell and my knees were shaking while I spoke, my head was a mess and I couldn't think straight after I said that, my head was spinning. Without me noticing it, uncle had sat himself next to me and put his arm around me and pulled me close to him, kissed my head and comforted me.
"Never, Eralin. I would never ever allow you to go back to your family, they will never find out you're here, and if they ever come here I will take care of them. You just stay out of it, you will never see their face again."

I never heard uncle speak that way. But this, it felt so sincere, I never had anybody speak to me that way.

"But what about custody and all that? Father and mother can't let this pass! You can say all this but you need to think realistically! I'm still a minor I can't just go off on my own!"

I did everything on impulse, I never thought about the realistic sides of this situation. I forgot I was still 16 and I can't do anything on my own, I'm still technically depending on my parents, what do I do about school? I can't do it without my parents!

"You keep forgetting that I am a multi millionaire, and that your parents are money wolves, you offer them a certain amount of money they'll take it no matter what."

I was baffled by the fact he actually said that. I couldn't accept the fact that he would actually think that my parents would simply just drop me, their own flesh and blood for a stack of money. There is no way....right?
"No! I don't believe that! I am their everything! I am Eralin Thorns there is no way that they would just accept a stack of money without hesitation and just forget I ever existed! I am their biggest income after all!"

I pulled myself away from his arm and stood up while I screamed at uncle Charles, my head was spinning more than before and I had difficulty standing up. He looked visibly irritated, I could hear him sigh.
