Not A Cinderella

"hey April. How.." "hi Lucinda, it's Oakley" "Oakley. What's happening with April?" "She's.. she's miscarriaging" "shit. I will be right there" "thanks". Seeing brenton enter, I held eye contact with him "wheres April?" "In the closet. Lucinda is coming around and going to assess her. April doesn't know what to do" brenton showed a slight nod "Dallas has gone" "good. Coming in lecturing her. I won't put up with that fucking bullshit. This isn't her fault. She has done everything by the books. No drinking, no heavy lifting.." "not relaxing.." "she doesn't need to relax while pregnant. Her arm I understand but she hasn't been using it".
Hearing someone run up the stairs, I looked at the door. "Oakley.. brenton. Where is April?" "In the closet. Shes getting dressed I believe" "pain?" I nodded "blood?" I nodded. Lucinda turned her eyes. When the closet door opened up, I took a deep breath. "Let's get you to bed. Do you have an electric blanket?" "Yes" "come on" watching every move they both made, I stayed silent. "Thanks for calling Oakley. Right now, she is going to need a lot of heat and comfort. April do you have a wheat bag or hot water bottle" "she does. What temp?" "As high as it will allow" brenton raced out and I walked to the end of the bed. "Anything we can do?" "Just heat. There's nothing else unless she chooses to have pain relief" "I think you should. I don't want to see you in pain" April showed a slight nod "I will get you some paracetamol and ibuprofen" "thanks Oakley" rushing down, I grabbed some pain relief as brenton stood in the kitchen staring at the microwave. 'fuck him' running back up, I handed two of each to april. "Come on. Let's try get this pain gone" April nodded. "What's happened April? It's unlike you to be this way" "she has had every cunt on her case, getting her face, making her stress" "then those who have been going at you, need to stay the fuck away. That's doctor's orders" "I have been trying to do what's right for me. My cast is wet" "I will go get everything and replace it. How does it feel?".
"This is for April" "thanks. Woman this needs to go on your lower stomach. You need as much heat as you can right now" "the arm has been fine. Well it was" "I will replace it but I mean it April, any bastard puts you under any more stress, shoot them. Do what ever you have to do" "it's too late now" "then shoot them for doing it. Were you hit?" "No just dealing with everyone's bullshit. Treating me like I am some invalid" "pregnant not disabled. You could do things. No heavy lifting.." "I know. Oh yeah.. I was bumped into something at work in the office by my father" "that wouldn't have helped. It's probably best you eat then get as much sleep as your body will allow" "that medication looked to be fast working" "it is. Twenty minutes" I nodded "don't worry about anything okay. I will stay" "you have your own.." "no" Lucinda grinned "always been a good mate this one" "gay as aids" "shut it April" lucinda laughed "I will be back in a few hours. If you are asleep, I will wait" "paying you to sit around?" "Yes" "okay" I internally grinned as Lucinda stood up. "Close those eyes patient. Oakley.." "the gates will be locked. I will tell them you are welcome in" "April?" "He knows how I work. Guess what I am doing when I wake" "drinking" "yep" "might help kill that pain" April nodded "thanks Oakley" "anything for a sister from another mister" April showed a small grin before she closed her eyes and lifted the blanket up over her face.
Letting her sleep, Lucinda and I walked back down stairs. Seeing Matt, he had anger written all over his face "Oakley.." "I will be fine" Lucinda showed a slight nod before exiting the house. "WHERE THE FUCK IS APRIL.." "you best listen before I start shooting. Because of all of you cunts getting in her face.." "SHE NEEDS TO REST" "SHE FUCKING MISCARRIED" "WHAT..April was pregnant?" "Yeah she was but others couldn't control themselves and put pressure on her. Kept getting in her fucking face, grabbing her and stressing her the fuck out" Matt put his head down "we just wanted her to rest. I didn't know she was pregnant.." "well thanks to everyone, she's not. Now she's getting some well needed sleep and I need to go see the other security. The gates will be locked. She doesn't need any more stress" Matt nodded "where are Brenton and Dallas?" "Don't know and I don't care" dialling zeths number, he immediately answered. "Oakley. What's going on? Dallas and brenton have both left.." "lock the fucking gates and change the codes" "it's April isn't it?" "Yeah.. Matt?" "I'm staying" "don't.." "I don't plan to" "right. Yep lock those gates. Unless she wants someone here they can stay the fuck out" "what's going on?" "Those maggots made her miscarry" "APRIL WAS PREGNANT?" "yes.. she plans to drink when she gets up and my guess is she is going to wipe herself out".

Matt.

'my best friend was pregnant.. I didn't even know. If I had of known, I would've helped her. We have all been on her case. More so Brenton and Dallas. The way Dallas grabbed her.. he slammed her stomach to the table. Fuck. I plan to stay here. I have clothes here. They can take over the park for now. I better call Troy'.

"Matt where the fuck are you?" "At April's. I need you and Brit to take over. No one else.." "one sec".
"Okay out of hearing. Brit and I? Why?" "April's down and I'm not sure how long for" "Dallas and brenton are here" "I don't give a fuck if they are there. They do not run the show. I want you and Brit to control it. Do not let them take over" "something has happened?" "Yeah.. Oakley is ready to kill. The codes have been changed too" "explain it?" "April was pregnant" "WHAT?" "yeah.. was. After today.." "she lost it didn't she?" "Yeah.. I need to be here. When the park is closed.." "we'll come around" "I will speak to April when she wakes up. Oakley believes she will drink and not lightly" "right. that I understand. I will sort it out" "thanks Troy. Speak soon" "yep. Bye" "bye".

Troy.

'these cunts' exiting the office, I looked at both men as they were going through paperwork. "What the hell are you doing?" Both men looked at Troy "sorting this business.." "no your not. Brit and I are in charge" "listen here.." "no you listen. It's either you listen to me or she gets out of that bed and you deal with her. We are in charge and that's the way it stays until we are told different. Now we have things to do. If you arent working here you can go enjoy the rides or leave" "this is my daughter's business.." "correct and no decisions are made unless she says so. This is the way it is" brenton turned his eyes as Dallas spoke "we are very business minded" "we have been running this company for years. We know what we are doing. Thanks but no thanks".

Brit.

'theres something not right here. I can tell in Troy's tone and movements. "Brit. Left" I nodded and grabbed everything that's needed "none down and nothing needed" "that's great. Matt said a shipment is coming" "I am aware. I'm waiting for Johnny. I will check it over and sign it off" "alright. I've got right. Windows going alright?" "Perfect" Troy grinned "good. Let's get this done" Troy grabbed the paperwork and sat down. "We will be back later" "enjoy the rides" "to make sure things are running.." "they run fine. We are quite capable. Always have been" Dallas and brenton walked out and I immediately looked at Troy "you better fucking fill me in" "yeah.. April was pregnant. Those cunts put stress on her and she lost it" "YOU BETTER BE.." "Brit" I took a deep breath "fine. I'm going to see her after work" "we need to contact Matt or Oakley. The codes have changed and the gates are locked. They are expecting her to get blind drunk" "that's expected. A ton of food and drinks. Clothes and a long day tomorrow" "let's speak with Matt when the day is done. We know he won't leave" "he better stay off of her case" "I don't think he's the problem. If he is, I'm sure hes going to hear about it" "no doubt".
'this is fucked up. If these guys try come in and control everything, they have another thing coming. We know April wouldn't want them too and we surely won't allow it. We have been running this for years'.
