A Player's Responsibility

Josh view chapter 7 Part 4

I packed all my stuff, ready to move to London, I will miss Perryville, I will miss sally but there is nothing left for me. I stood there in my mother's grave stone; it read Jane Hutchinson, Good Mother and friend. I made a promise that I was going to come and visit her every year. Now all I had to do was say goodbye to Sally. I went home and brought all my stuff downs stairs and then I heard the bell. 'Hey man' Michael was standing at the door. 'You're about to leave without saying goodbye to your best friend'. I let him in. 'no is good to see you, I'm glad you came to stay goodbye'. Michael smiled slyly. 'You too man. And here is you're two thousand dollars'. I looked at him like he was crazy. 'You forgot about our bet'. I shook my head. 'A lot has happened the last thing I'm thinking of is a stupid bet, man'. Michel just shrugged 'anyway, Abigail told me that you did not only sleep with Sally you got her pregnant'. I froze as I thought about what Michael had just said. 'Sally is pregnant. But we slept together just once, without protection yes, but it was just once'. Michael laughed, 'good thing you're leaving, smart move so you don't have to deal with all that crap. You're so lucky. Anyone man just take the money'. He put it in my hands and I gave it back. 'I don't want your money. I love sally'. Michael itched his head. 'We made a bet man and you won just take the money, and beside you will need it where you're going'. I still refused to take it. 'Ok man good luck'. I sat down on the stairs. What they hell just happened. I told her goodbye just a yesterday and she said nothing.

Jack Hutchinson the man that suddenly to be my father because he can't have kids with his wife walked into the house holding a local newspaper. 'You got your girlfriend pregnant, you got the pastor's daughter pregnant, are you insane. It's in the newspapers. Do worry i already thought about it, me and your step mother will raise the child, we will go for now and come back in nine months'. This guy was insane, psychotic. 'You are crazy if you think you will have anything to do with my child'. He looked at me in the eyes for a second. 'The flight to London is in an hour, what is it you want to do'. I stood up for the stairs. 'I'm not going anywhere with you'. He loaded his bag inoto his car and left. I couldn't.

There was a knock at the door and Chloe was standing there. She came in and we both sat on the stairs. 'Is it true what you did'? I nodded. 'She needs you now more than ever Josh, she needs you'. I got up. 'I know and I'm not going anywhere'.
