Tales of The Heart

Secrets

Meysa

Hudson and Nyle were away for a few days so I took all the notes that Hudson had left me and went to Lacey's to do some writing as she was creating costume ideas for her movie. Once I read over his ideas I was inspired and began writing as Lacey was drawing up ideas. The only sound I could hear was my fingers on the keyboard. I was lost in the typing and the words appearing on the screen before me.

"Mey," I heard Lacey's voice echo out and I turned to look at her. "Come on we have to eat silly." She said to me and when I looked at the clock I could not believe it was nine in the evening. "I have been writing for four hours?" Lacey laughed as I came to reality. "Come on, I ordered Chinese." She then laughed at me as I jumped up ready to race her to the kitchen. As we began eating I heard my phone ding and my heart skipped a beat.

Hudson- Hey Guppy! How is your evening going?

Meysa- Pretty good! How was your guy's drive?

I was finished eating and I decided to go home for the evening. I was going to stay but I felt like I should go home since I do not get to spend a whole lot of time with my father.

Hudson- Long. What are you up to?

Meysa- About to go home from Lacey's.

Hudson- Be safe!

Meysa-Always am lol.

Hudson- Well I am going to crash for the evening.Meysa- Alright Sleep well.Hudson- Good night Guppy.Meysa- Good Night Nemo.

I then began my journey home. It was not far and it was beautiful out tonight. I walked in through the front door to the smell of cooking. I knew that smell anywhere. It was my father's famous Piccata. I smelled something berry. It smelled like fathers' favorite wine and I was a bit confused. Father was normally in the living room watching television about now. I looked in the kitchen and I saw the skillets he used to cook on the counter but not him. I decided to walk into the dining room where he rarely ate since mother passed away.

When I turned the corner I could not help but drop the papers I had in my hand. I saw my father kissing my godmother. "Dad, Miss. Dannell?" It came out as more of a question than a statement. "Meysa. I thought you were staying with Lacey?" Father asked, "I wanted to spend time with you since you are never home." I stated. "Listen Meysa we can explain." Miss. Dannell said as she rose to her feet. I did not want an explanation. I just had one question in mind. "How long?" I asked and father looked confused. "What do you mean Meysa?" "How long has this been going on?" I asked in a clearer statement.

They just looked at each other as if I was the parent and they were the kids. "A year." Miss. Dannell's voice was small and quiet. "A year. You two have been lying to us and having secret rendezvous behind our back for a year." I turned heel and headed to the front door. "Meysa. Get back here so we can talk about this." I heard my father shout. As I grabbed the handle to the door I looked back at him and stated the obvious. "You have had an entire year to talk about this." Then I left.

I did not want to go to Lacey's, that would be the first place they checked. I went to the only place I felt safe and knew they would not look. On my walk my phone was ringing off the hook. Dad, Lacey, and Miss. Dannell, I did not want to deal with them I needed to cool off and think. I mean how could they. Not being together I mean if they are happy then okay they both have had a bad hand dealt to them. I was upset that he lied to me, and hid things from me. We were always honest with each other and never lied to one another.

I saw Hudson's house in my view then it clicked, I hope their door is unlocked. I went to the front door and sure enough it was locked. I really did not think this through. I saw a plant by the front door that was not there before and looked under it. Thankfully there was a key underneath. Thank God for it so I unlocked their door and put the key back where I got it from.

I grabbed my phone and I saw Hudson had called. Lacey must have called him. I listened to his voicemail and he sounded scared, panicked even. I decided to text him.

Meysa- I am okay. Just got some things going on right now.

Hudson- Where are you? What happened?

Meysa- I do not want to talk about it right now. I just need time to myself to think about it. I hope you do not mind that I am at your house.

Hudson- I will not push. It is completely fine. Take my room on the right of the kitchen. There are some clothes you can borrow.

Meysa- Thank you 😊. It means a lot.

Hudson- You are welcome.

Meysa- I am going to go to sleep now. I will text you in the morning.

Hudson- Goodnight Guppy. Please be safe and I cannot wait to see you soon.

I went to the room he told me to and it was beautiful. Simple but beautiful. I looked through his dresser and found me a black long sleeve shirt and grey sweatpants. I curled onto his bed and it was like heaven. I really need to ask where he got this mattress from. I felt like I was laying on fluffy clouds. I looked through my texts not wanting to answer and after reading my father's I texted him just to let him know I was safe and needed to clear my mind.

I then read through Lacey's and was dumbfounded. She knew about them and never told me and everyone of them use the excuse "we did not know how you would react." I was fuming now. I sent her one simple text before shutting off my phone. "You are supposed to be like my sister. All of you are family yet you all hid something from me. lied to my face say after day. It was not up to any of you to determine what I should know or worry about my reactions. We are not supposed to keep secrets or lie to each other. I want to all of you to leave me alone. I have a lot to think about and decide. Goodbye."

I was so angry I could not sleep and went out on the back deck hoping the fresh air and the sound of the ocean would help me relax. It was dark but the lights they had on their walkway were bright and I could see part of the ocean. I was just staring at the waves coming to the beach. It was peaceful. At this moment I could build a house in the middle of the ocean and disappear. I was not angry they were together. I mean Lacey's mom was in a bad relationship and he left when Lacey was born. Then everything that happened with mom. I want them to be happy but what do they think of me if none of them trust me or care enough to tell me.

I kept watching the waves as numerous thoughts kept running in my mind. I saw a flicker across the water and it caught my attention. I began walking down their pathway to get a better look. It disappeared under the water and I still walked to the edge of the ocean to see if it would reappear. Then I saw small ripples forming in the water about ten foot from me. As it began breaking the surface the air left my lungs as it appeared before me. "What the?"
