The next week rolled around, and were was eda. In court. "Edalyn Clawthorne, do you know why you're here?" The judge asked. "Uhhh.. Because I maced a police officer with pepper spray?" Eda asked. Nakusa started giggling. The judge slammed his hammer down a few times. "Quiet!" He demanded. "Edalyn Clawthorne, you're here because you're going to be caring for these 3 children" Eda looked utterly shocked. "The hell I am! I'm not finna be anyone's guardian" eda argued. "You can and you will take care of these kids, or il put you in prison with them, for 13 years" the judge threatened, while taking out 3 semi-large files. "These contain everything you need to know about these children, they are now legally your responsibility' the judge said and slammed the hammer to make it official.
Eda was very frustrated, but looking at the kids, they seemed harmless so she sucked it up.
When she got home, she just realized her house wasn't really adaptable for kids, so that's when she decided to get to work. She ordered some beds, first of all, a bunk bed and a regular bed.
And because same day delivery, and men, all she had to do was open the door, look cute and they set up the beds for her. She also got a dresser, bed sheets, and basically everything you need when setting up a new room.
You must be wondering why Eda is doing all this for kids she doesn't know, and half doesn't want to take care of. Well, it's because she peaked in the files she was given on them, she saw all of them didn't have suitable families, so she thought she'd be nice.
She also looked up what to expect when it came to raising teenagers, but burned the book as soon as it said "share your feelings"
She would absolutely not share her feelings, and that was strictly forbidden by her morals.
Meanwhile, shoes were clicking the hallways. Edalyn's older sister, Lilith Clawthorne. A very good lawyer, who seemed to always be kind, intelligent, and always mentally stable. As she walked Into her office she saw her worst nightmare..a mess. Luckily her colleague and friend Darius happened to walk in. " yo, Lilith, there's some rich asshole on the phone, who says it's urgent and wants to" Darius stopped when seeing the woman frozen staring dead at the floor. Darius saw the trash had been tipped over and then rolled his eyes. "You can not be serious right now," he said, in an annoyed tone. "It's.. It's dirty" Lilith whined and felt the need to wash her hands.
Darius sighed and kneeled down to clean house the mess that had Lilith feeling she would die just from looking at it. "You need help, it's literally just a little trash it's not that bad, and you're not going not die" Darius scolded. "It's dirty!" Lilith said again, and she took a step back. Darius finished, then walked over to Lilith, then wiped his hand on her arm. She squealed and rushed to the bathroom to wash her entire arm. Darius chuckled out of spite, then used some hand sanitizer. He then adjusted his tie and saw Lilith's phone vibrating. He glanced at it and saw it was a reminder.
Call edalyn
Darius looked confused, wondering why she would do such a thing every day at 2:30 pm.
When Lilith came back, she seemed more calm but did glare at Darius. "Never again.. " she said in a stern tone, then picked up her cell phone. She tried calling eda, but not to her surprise, eda didn't answer. Lilit has been trying to reach her for 6 years now, but never once has eda answered a call text, or email. At one point Lilith actually considered sending a bird or something, but that idea went out the window when she remembered how dirty birds were.
Darius looked at Lilith with a little pity as she put her phone down. "Lilith, you're still trying to reach her?" He asked. "Of course...why wouldn't I?" Lilith asked, not really wanting an answer not the question. "How come she isn't answering? You guys were so close when we were kids" Darius said. "I know... We... It was very loud... Disagreement, 6 years ago and she hasn't spoken to me since" Lilith explained, feeling guilty about the whole situation. "6 YEARS!? YOU GUYS HAVEN'T SPOKEN IN 6 YEARS!!" Darius asked, clearly shocked.
Lilith remembered back when it all happened.
6 years ago, Lilith had suggested eda go get checked out for her condition. Just to see if there was some type of surgery to fix it. Of course, eda didn't take this well, and already didn't like going to the doctor so Blantnly refused. "Absolutely not!!" Eda said with an angry tone. "Edalyn, it's for your own good!" Lilith argued. "Shut up! I'm handling it fine on my own! I don't need some asshole in a white coat to stick a needle in my brain just to call me crazy!" Eda yelled. "You're not crazy! I'm just saying... Maybe there's medication so your dreams aren't as bad" Lilith said, trying to get eda to calm down. "I'm not taking any fucking pills! I'm not insane!" Eda yelled. "I didn't say that!.. I just think-" Lilith tried to explain but eda was too upset. "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK!! I'M NOT GOING NOT A DOCTOR AND I'M NOT TAKING ANY MEDICINE!!" eda yelled. "Edalyn please, just.. Calm down!" Lilith said, starting not to raise her voice a little. "Don't tell me to calm down!! You're trying to put me on some damn drugs!" Eda yelled. Lilith finally had enough sand and lost her temper. "Yes, I am!! Because your dream makes you violent!! You cry and beg for mercy in your sleep!! You need help! And that's what I'm trying to give you!!" Lilith yelled. "Fuck you!! I told you to stop watching me while I sleep!!" Eda yelled. "I can't!! Not when I know you are suffering! Does Raine even know!? Have you told them even once!?" Lilitsked, already knowing the answer. Eda didn't answer, she knows she didn't. "Exactly! Because you never open up to anyone! You could end up dead like that! You could ruin your life! Because your too damn stubborn to admit when you need help!!" Lilith yelled. "Get out!! I hate you!! get out of my damn business!!" Eda yelled. Lilith looked hurt for a second, then her expression looked stern sand she left.
Lilith sighed, remembering the painful memory, wishing she handled the situation a lot differently. "Sorry... About you and eda" Darius said, in a low voice. Lilith took a deep breath, then looked at Darius. "It's fine... I'm handling it" Lilith said, and went to see who wanted to see her.
However, Lilith wasn't the only person who was missing out dear Eda Clawthorne. Her ex-partner Raine whispers. A musician, who had been using their career to distract themselves. Even after 5 years the heart aches never truly went away. After all, eda was the love of their life, how could they move on? All her little quirks, and charming personality. They were currently, working on a new song to perform. Singing had been a part of their job only a year and a half a box for extra cash. Usually, they were a music tutor, because the thought of 27 teenagers staring at them was an absolute no, and they'd pull anyone of Eda's terrible excuses to get out of it.
Her silly excuses and antics always made them laugh, their personal favorite and the one she used most often. "I left a lame excuse on the stove" She used it whenever she was nervous, or feeling awkward and desperately wanted to leave. Oddly enough, they always hated some of the things she did, like when she refused to tell them what was bothering her, but always insisted they could tell her anything. They only wanted her to trust them, but she even went as far as to practically seduce them, to never talk about it.
I mean... They were never mad about that part, because having her on them and being a little rough, but also being a little asshole while she teased them about how flustered they would get when her shirt came off, or when she scrolled down their body. She wouldn't be unbelievably rough, because she knew they weren't into that, but she was, but never pushed it. She'd ride, blow, and tire them out, only to turn clingy in the morning, and almost like the perfect little housewife, she always swore she'd never be. They chuckled at the memories of her cute expressions when they tried to get up Or leave her side or even her fingertips. This would go on for 3 days max, and then she'd be back to her playful, teasing self with that same Shit-eating grin, when she teased them in public, knowing they'd be too embarrassed to do anything.
They thought of her when they wrote songs, but soon painful memories came, like how she'd always leave their house before ever going to sleep, or how she'd lock herself in her room or a bathroom when who knows what happened, she'd never tell them. The worst one was when they broke up. To be fair, they were the ones who broke up with her, but she didn't even try to get them to stay, she simply said. "Alright, il just leave then" Her tone is what hurt, like she didn't care. It always made them wonder if she ever cared. Her smiles and kisses always seemed genuine. However, more than anything, they wished they'd asked to at least have a confirmed answer.
It's ironic they way you leave..
