Mrs. Maybe Not

Chapter 18

I wake up to find I'm alone. Brandon was probably mad at me for ignoring him, but this was my mess now.

After, reading everything in the file I couldn't let anyone else know. This was my fight now. I wouldn't even drag Caleb into it.

I walk over to Caleb's door and knock gently on it, "Ashley, let's go."

She appears a second later. "Are we going in our pjs?"

"I am. I don't really care anymore." I shrug.

"Okay." She steps out and closes the door all the way.

We head downstairs and out to the garage where she picks Caleb's black Mustang.

I could have driven myself, but I didn't want to try and drive back after the stuff I was about to find out.

We arrive at the location about 2 hours later. The car ride was completely silent, which I was grateful.

"I'm going to stay here. Just come out when you're done." Ashley smiles at me and I start to head out, "Brittney, whatever you're hiding from everyone. I hope it helps us all."

I nod, "I do too."

With that I head inside the creepy, dark building.

"I need to speak to Jasper." I say to the receptionist.

She looks at me and rolls her eyes, "He's busy."

"Pretty sure he can meet with me. My father was John Klable and my soon to be father in law is Patrick Newman." I snap.

Her eyes widen, "Yes m'am. I will page him right now."

She picks up the phone and dials a number, "Jasper there is a young lady down here that needs to speak to you. Says her father is John Klable. Yes, I will send her right up." She turns to me, "Head upstairs. 3rd door on the right."

I smile and head up to his office. When I arrive I let go of the breathe I realized I was holding.

I take one more deep breathe before knocking. My hand comes an inch from the door when it swings open.

"Come in please."

I step around him and take in his office. It was as dark as the rest of the building.

"If you're here that means John has passed. I'm sorry." He continues, "But I do have everything you need."

Jasper pulls out about 5 files and places them in front of me.

"Took a lot of work to uncover a lot of these, but anything for my brother." Jasper smiles.

I look up at him, "You and my father were brothers?" He nods, "So you're my uncle?"

He smiles, "Yes. I knew about everything first. He called me and told me everything that was going on. Told me to keep everything about you, Caleb, Crystal, Macy, and Lilly on file. So whenever you bought anything or went anywhere and your name popped up I got the first copy."

"Why?"

"Because Brittney. Your father knew he was dying. He knew you would be able to take his place and fix everything. But he also knew that you couldn't find it all on your own." He laughs, "He also knew you would be against it at first. Knew you wouldn't listen unless there was someone who needed saving. So tell me who's the guy you are trying to protect."

I roll my eyes, "It's just some guy I met when I ran away for a month. I just don't want him hurt just because he met me."

Jasper nods, "Makes sense. But the real question is, why aren't you trying to protect yourself?"

Wasn't that a weird question to hear.

"You're back sooner than I thought." Caleb says as I walk into the house, Ashley trailing behind.

"We have 3 days. Today is Wednesday. I'm trying to hurry." I snap, "Lets just all meet in the basement I have something I need to show everyone."

10 minutes later, the 8 of us are gathered around a table in the basement.

I throw the files down on the table.

A file all about Caleb, one all about Macy and Lilly, one all about Crystal, one all about me, and one all about Ally.

"Her file is the best. If you get this in the public's eyes by Saturday, everything will be ruined for her." Jasper laughed, "I would have someone you know do it though."

"Do you know what my father wanted me to do?" I asked.

Jasper shakes his head. "No clue. His journal might have something about it."

"Brittney?" Brandon asks softly.

I turn my attention to him and he holds up my folder. The abortion paperwork included.

I walk over to Caleb who is reading his own file.

"They knew everything." He whispers in shock. "None of my life was ever private."

"I'm sorry, Caleb." I whisper back.

"No. No. This is good. I'm about to get my private life back." He yells in excitement. "I'm about to be free from everything."

We all laugh and continue reading.

"Brittney, what do you want us to do with the Ally file?" James asks.

I sigh, "I don't know yet. I'm going to spend tonight reading over my father's journal and hopefully I can figure out what he wanted me to do."

They all nod and continue reading.

"Caleb? Are you down here?" Ally calls.

"Hide the stuff." He hisses before throwing a board game on the floor. "Yes, we are playing a game."

This was part of the plan. If she came down we had to pretend to be playing a game. And when she got close enough one of us would flip the board like we lost.

"What are you doing down here?" She asks coming in.

Brandon flips the game, "You all suck! You all are cheaters!"

"So you're playing a board game? That's all?" She asks.

"Yes, mother. And because Brandon is a sore loser we will never know who actually won." Caleb pouts.

His mom slowly walks out of the room mumbling something that sounded like, "Crazy kids these days."

"Guys, I think it's time we take a break." Ashley says, once Ally is all the way upstairs.

Everyone murmurs in agreement.

I grab the folders and start to head up behind everyone when Brandon pulls me back.

His lips press against mine and I drop the files, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I miss you." He whispers.

"It's only been a few days." I laugh, "And only a few more."

He groans, "But that's so long."

I roll my eyes, and pick up the files, "It will be over soon and you and I can be together."

He nods and I walk up to my room.

A.N

To be 100% honest, I'm jealous of Brandon and Brittney. And also Caleb and Ashley. Why can't I have an amazing boyfriend...

Anyways, hope you enjoyed.
