The Difference

Chapter 18

          Shirley Walliams – Monte Carlo – Family House.

“I can’t believe he did this to me.” I was with Sharon. When I got home there was no one there apart from her and dad. I didn’t bother to ask where the others were. I ran up to my room to cry myself to sleep. I had barely slept for an hour when I woke up. I couldn’t sleep. Sharon walked into my room and asked what was wrong. Even though she may seem like the nanny of the house, she has become our friend. I told her everything. Even Andy’s confession to Corbin. She was astonished. She even felt a little bit angry but held herself together to comfort me.  She advised me not to confront Andy yet. She looked at me with sympathy in her eyes.

“Miss Walliams, I know you feel betrayed by Mr. Avearey but please put yourself in his shoes. He was asked to keep this a secret. So even though he knew it would put your friendship at a risk, he still did. Imagine how he felt. With this you can testify that he’s a great friend. For him to keep this from you, knowing what it means. Please with all your love for him reconsider your break up with him. I know you love him and so does he. Please forgive him.” She said wholeheartedly. With these words, she walked out of the room.

I lay down, thinking well into the matter. Before I slept, I knew what to do.

Zayn Princeford – Monte Carlo – At Home.

Shirley was angry with me. She’d found out about Andy and I. She’d also found out how we became friends, what our friendship entailed.  Finding out it was through selling and buying drugs that made us friends worsened our situation. Andy and I cut ties with our drug lord. I knew doing this was putting my finances at risk but it was worth it. I’ve been trying to get hold of Shirley for days now but to no avail. I called Andy. He picked.

“Hey bud,” I said.

“Hey,” he didn’t sound happy.

“How bad is it?” I asked.

“Very bad. There’s tension between Shirley and I. Worst of all because of us Corbin and Shirley are not on talking terms. I don’t feel okay with that.”

“What do you suggest we do?”

“I think we should just come out with the truth about everything.”

“And how do you propose we do that?" 

“Since it will affect my family more, I think we should hold a meeting at my family house, invite everyone including Corbin and just say everything. We will bear the consequences of our actions later on.” I agreed with him. We settled on the coming Saturday at noon and ended the call.
