Mrs. Maybe Not

Chapter 17

"Where the hell are they?" I snap, as I pace around the room.

Caleb laughs, "They will be home any minute now. Just calm down. Macy and Lilly did say to give them the entire day. It's only 6 pm."

"I thought we agreed that no matter what they were supposed to be back by 6. No later." I respond.

Arms wrap around my waist and pull me into a lap.

"Calm down." Brandon whispers in my ear.

I shake him off and start pacing again. What if they got caught? What if they had gotten hurt? Why couldn't they just call? I just needed to know that they were okay.

The door swings open to reveal the 4 of them.

"About time you showed up." I snap.

I get pulled into Brandon's lap again.

"Calm down would ya?" He laughs.

I roll my eyes, "Did you guys find it?"

"Yes, we just need you guys to hear it now." Macy replies.

James starts setting it up and presses play.

"March 3, 2010. This is John Klable. Ally Newman said she would like to speak to me and tell me the official plan of how she wants to kill her husband, Patrick Newman. Let's begin."

"Hi John. I'm glad you could meet with me."

"It's really nothing. I just wanted to hear your plan and what I can do to help."

"Well the only reason I've been keeping Brittney here is so that when she turns 18, Caleb will have someone to marry. But not so he can be happy. I want him to think he will become King. I want to kill my husband. But not so Caleb can become the new King. I want you as the new King."

"You know Ally that's sweet and all but I'm in love with Mary."

"Imagine this. You become the new King. We live together forever. And I won't be as closed off as Mary. We can have fun every night."

"Ally, what about Patrick?"

"Don't worry about him. I'll take care of Mary and Patrick. The night of Brittney and Caleb's wedding in 8 years. Until then we will have to wait."

The audio clicks off and a new one starts.

At first it's a lot of moans and everyone looks around awkwardly.

"John, baby why have I been waiting so long?"

"I honestly don't know Ally."

The moaning continues and we all awkwardly listen to the tape, until it ends.

And then another one starts.

"Here's the plan. After the two get married all the attention will be on them. I will take Patrick into our room and shoot him, make it look like suicide. You will kill Mary with the poison. It only takes a few drops to work. Poor the whole bottle in. Get rid of the evidence. One week until the wedding."

"I'm not going to help you Ally. I love Mary far too much. And I know what your son has been doing to my daughter. We are leaving."

There's a hard slap.

"You will do what I say or I will kill everyone in your family. Now get out of here and get ready. One week."

That one ended and another came on.

"Brittney, it's probably been about a month since you left. I'm probably dead, which is why I can't help now. But I need you to end this all for once and all. Go to my room and in my drawer in the bathroom there is a file. Contact the man in there. Do it now. He knows my plan and will help you with everything."

That was the end. The last time I'd ever hear his voice. The last time he would be able to help me.

"Brittney?" Someone asks.

I don't register who it is. My father was dead and he expected me to fix all of this. Fix his problem. Eventually tell my mother he was going to kill her. Tell her that he had slept with Ally.

I take off running to his bathroom and rip open the drawer no one was ever allowed in.

"Looking for this?" My mother asks.

I turn to see her holding a file. "Mom, please."

"Sit." She orders.

I sit on the edge of the bathtub and she sighs.

"Brittney, I found out the truth as your father was dying. I couldn't believe for the past 8 years what's been happening. He told me when you came back you would come looking for a file in his bathroom. Told me to make sure no one but you read it." She starts to tear up, "Why he won't even let his own wife see in it I don't know."

So maybe she didn't know the whole truth.

"Mom, I need the folder now. Please." I beg.

She nods and hands it to me, "Be safe. And keep an eye on your sister."

I grab the folder and run to my room, I close and lock the door. And I begin reading the paperwork in the file.

"I need somebody to drive me somewhere." I order.

Caleb and Brandon exchange a glance.

"I'll take her." Ashley says.

"I can take her." Brandon snaps.

"And what? Get nervous when she does something reckless. Or make the media blow up with pictures of the two of you. If we want this to work, I will go with her." She turns to me, "Can we wait until tomorrow. I mean it is like 7 o'clock and I don't think we will make it wherever you need to go before it's closed."

I sigh, "I guess. But tomorrow morning first thing we are going."

"Work for me." She smiles, and we walk upstairs together.

"What were you guys doing downstairs?" Ally asks with a smirk on her face.

"I was going to find Ashley so that we could paint our nails and have a girls night." I reply as nicely as I can. "Is there a problem?"

Ally shakes her head, "No, that's fine."

It's my turn to smirk, "Just incase you're thinking I'm cheating on Caleb or something. I don't play that way. I'm not a whore."

With that Ashley and I go skipping up to my room so that Ally believes us.
