The Mediator

Chapter 2

I woken the next morning by my phone, it was only 6AM at a Saturday, I was pissed

‘What?!’ I said sleepy not knowing who was calling

‘Blue, it’s Kyle’

‘Kyle, I’m gonna kill you man! It’s only 6AM!’

‘It’s important! Look, that paper you found the other day, it’s dangerous, DON’T USE IT!’

‘Why? I have to use it, that’s why I went all the way to that office’ I said what the fuck was he talking about seriously?!

‘Blue, listen to me, I know you are a stubborn, but you have to believe me on this one, DON’T USE IT! Let it go!’ I thought about it for a second, Kyle always used to exaggerate on things, so I wanted not to listen to him, I saw the look on Mona’s face, I couldn’t let her down.

‘Ok, fine, I won’t’

‘I’M SERIOUS!’ I guess he realized my tone and that I was lying, he knew me too well.

‘OK, OK! Could at least tell me why?’

‘I can’t, gotta go.’ He hung up on me, that motherfucker! I was kinda curious and scared of what would happen if I didn’t listen to that, so as a good stubborn, as he even said so, I ain’t gonna do what he told me to do. But right now, I just wanted to get some sleep, I laid down on my bed again and closed my eyes. Not even a second later, my phone rang again, Ugh!

‘What Kyle?!’ I said angry

‘Erm, I’m sorry, Ms. Carter, this is Vanessa, from the VMAs.’

‘Oh I’m sorry, I thought you were my friend, what’s up?’

‘Well, you know, next year on February we’re gonna have another one of our VMAs, but this one is special, this year is gonna be the 16th year your mother announced to the world that she was pregnant with you with the song Love On Top.’

‘Yeah, so?’ I was rude to the women, she acted all like it was special and all, truth is, it’s not, my mom is never around and never was, well at least after my dad died. And I don’t like to have people talking about our relationship when they don’t know anything.

‘Well we want to invite you to perform at the VMAs, the same song, as in, like honoring your mom, what do you think?’

‘No thanks’ I was gonna hung up when the women stopped me

‘WAIT! Please, would you at least think about it?’

‘Erm, I don’t know’

‘Please! Your mom would love it!’

‘Is she even going?’

‘Yes, she confirmed last night!’

‘Ok, ok, I’ll think about it’

‘Thank you so much, you won’t….’

‘Now let me sleep!’

‘Ok, sorry I woke you up, bye bye’

‘Bye’ I hung up and sighed, maybe this was a good opportunity to get close to my mom, I know she is going because it’s part of her work and I know that even tho I act like I don’t care she ain’t around, I actually do. I wanted to have my mom around to go shopping, do nails and hair together or even just have lunch or dinner together, but that doesn’t happen, I normally have my meals alone. And I’m not playing the victim, oh please that is the last thing I would do, it’s just something that makes me upset or sad. Anyway, I tried to go back to sleep but I thought about all the stuff that I had to do today, first I needed to find me a lawyer and then solve all that Mona’s problem, put that guy in jail and go to my ballet lessons. Yes I did dance, I’m normal when I want to be.
