MY WAY - Amelia's Daughter

29. Secret

    "So this Wednesday I'm thinking we get chick-fil-a?" Will suggested. It's been a couple days since the incident and things have been normal. Other than the fact I'm still keeping this huge secret. 

    "Oh yeah sounds good" I shrugged turning back to pay attention to the teacher in front of us. It was hard to talk to Will knowing how bad I wanted to tell him.

But I knew Will could and will forgive me for a lot of things. Plus he probably would say it's fine. But it would kill this relationship. That type of confession would be this loves dying breath.

-------

    "Why'd you have to tell me about Will's mom?" I growled laying on the couch next to my aunt. "I guess I didn't think of it as a breaking point in your relationship. I mean I should have, considering how I felt about Penny" Mer sighed.

"It's okay, I just wish I never even knew" I groaned. "I mean you could just tell him, it'll come out one way or another" she shrugged.

    "I have a lot to think about, is it so hard to hung hang on to this while I can?" I pondered. "No, I don't blame you. It's your choice. That's just what I would do. But you're a smart girl, Do what's best for you"

    "I got you the nugs" Will smiled sitting down at our table. "What?" he frowned seeing my thinking face. "I have to tell you something but I know you're going to hate me after" I confessed.

    "Moe we've been through this already-" I cut him off. "No, you need to listen" I felt my throat feel like it was going to close up.

   "It's about your Mom" I admitted. "Huh? What are you talking about Morg" he sat back against his seat.

    "The lead surgeon, he was my Uncle Derek, he passed away about three years ago now. All because they didn't get him a stupid head CT. But when one of the interns came from that hospital my aunt Med gave her hell. So I understand how this is going to feel" I tried to sympathize.

    "I'm sorry I don't understand" Will stuttured. "My uncle Derek he was the surgeon who went in to remove your mom's tutor, my Aunt was his accomplice. My family are those murderers you have been talking about" I spat it all out choking on my own words trying to fight back tears.

    "How long have you known??" he questioned. "Since Thankgiving" I confessed. "Look M, it's not over right now, I just need some time, okay" he requested.

    "Can I just get a hug before you go?" I asked. "Of course" he wrapped his arms around me. "I still love you, Morgan. But I need to think" he kissed my forehead. "It's okay take as long as you need I'll be here" I smiled through tears.

    "Moe, you're crying" he pointed out. "I know just go, just make it easier on me and go" I tried to make him feel better. "Okay, I love you too. I'll text you" he agreed.

-------

    "Will and I are having a break" I updated my mother plopping down beside her. "Why? you guys seemed so perfect!" Mom was shocked. "I told him the truth" I sighed tears falling from my eyes again.

    "Oh honey, It's going to be fine" She went in to hug me. "Please don't hug me or I won't be able to stop" I wiped my tears. "You can be upset" mom comforted.

    "I know but I don't want to be, I'm going to put my trust in god and everything will be how it's meant to be" I took a breath. "How did I raise a kid to be so mature!" she laughed. "I don't know" I grinned.
