Emily's Apartment

Chapter Eighteen: Mommy Loves You Pumpkins.

Grayson's POV

"I hate you!" I hear Terry's voice full of pain. I walk into my office in anger from the events that just happened. I couldn't let him go, but once Sharon spoke I knew what promises she made to me if I don't let him go. Even though he said he doesn't want me to protect him, I know he'll appreciate it later. I sit in my chair as I watch Terry fall to the ground in the elevator crying as the doors close.

"You did the right thing." I hear my door opening followed by Sharon's voice. I look up at her with nothing but pure hatred.

"Get out!" I scream not controlling my anger. "Get out, before I have you thrown out!"

"How many times do I have to tell you not to talk to me like that?" She sits on the couch and crosses her legs.

"You actually think there will come a day that I will respect you?" I ask. "If you're counting on that, then you better stop. Since you did what you did."

"Will you not bring that up? I made a mistake. Shit happens." She responds getting up from the couch and coming towards me.

"Are fucking with me? Sharon, It's not like you forgot to come to my football game; you let grown ass women molest me!" I blurt out the tragic past.

"You did what?!" Gwen's voice comes from behind Sharon making us turn around to her.

"Gwen.. Hey honey." Sharon says trying to act normal.

"Look Gwen, it was a long time ago.." I start explaining before Gwen raises her hand signaling me to shut up.

"You lied to me." Gwen says going closer to Sharon. What the hell is happening?

"I didn't lie to you... The situation was more complicated that it was." Sharon says backing away as Gwen comes closer.

"You lied to me. You said I needed to protect my brother." By this time tears are streaming down Gwen's face.

"Gwen, what are you talking about?" I ask in confusion.

"You remember Mrs. Rantz?" She asks taking her attention away from Sharon.

"Yeah, she was friends with this evil bitch."

"Sharon let her husband come in my room one night. She said I had to do it because it was either you or me and I needed to protect my brother." Gwen explains. I walk over to my sister and hold her tight. I look over to Sharon who has a bored expression on her face.

"What kind of a person lets her children get molested all for money?" I ask her with myself also crying.

"You spoiled and ungrateful children? I did that for our family. Didn't you notice that afterwards we started living in a mansion and living a good life? Sue me for caring!" She says and heads for the door.

"Don't you ever come back. We don't want you in our lives!" Gwen screams after Sharon as she gets out. Sharon stops in the middle and turns around to us.

"Grayson and Gwen, the dynamic duo. You have no idea what I'm capable of. Good luck to you both. And Grayson, let me see that you're with that dickhead again, you're surely feel my wrath." Sharon says and blows a kiss our way. "Mommy loves you pumpkins."

It's been almost an hour since everything went down. With both me and Gwen pouring out tragic past to each other, it made us finally understand each other.

"That's why I didn't want you to be with William. Or Liam nowadays." I say to her.

"Shit! Liam. There is one more thing." Gwen says with fear. "Liam didn't do anything to me."
