Saved By Andrew

Six

    We begin our journey back to Andrew's house. The whole way there we sing and mostly scream along to the radio. When we finally pull up to his house, we see that his mom is already home.

    "Hey Mrs. Jay!" I say as a walk into the house.

     "Hey sweetie! How was your day?" She responded.

    "It was really fun!" I exclaimed.

     "Good good. Do you mind if we talk in private for a moment?" She asked becoming very serious.

    "Um sure." I responded quite nervously. Andrew gives my shoulder a squeeze before I follow his mom into her bedroom.

   Once we enter the bedroom she shuts the door and locks it.

   "Marlowe. I know you may be a little nervous right now but I just really need to ask you something." She says sounding very concerned.

  "Um ok. What about?" I begin to fidget under her stare.

   "About your mother. You say she's always on vacation. Andrew has never met her and I've never met her. I guess I just wanna be enlightened on that whole situation. If you don't mind of course." She rambled.

   She wants to know about my mother. The woman who gave birth to me. Damon has told me about her but that's all I knew.

   "My mother." I started shaking on the verge of tears.

  "It's ok. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Mrs. Jay wrapped an arm around me.

   "No I need to tell someone." I shoot back.

   "My mother. I never knew her. I've never met her. Damon tells me that when I was about 2 months old two men dropped me off on his door step. The men were apparently his 2 younger brothers. He doesn't talk to them anymore. Damon is the only parent I've ever known. He says he doesn't even know who my mom is but somehow I know he's lying." I explain beginning to pace around the master bedroom.

  "Sweetie! I'm so sorry." She coos.

   "It's ok. " I say looking to the floor.

   "Can I ask you something?" She starts to fidget with her fingers.

   "Yes ma'am." I answer.

   "Why do you tell everyone she's on vacation?" She looks up at me with pity in her eyes.

   "It's just easier to tell people she's on vacation than saying she abandoned me." I say sitting back down on the bed.

    "Does Andrew know about this?" She asked looking right at me.

   "No ma'am. And if you don't mind I would like to keep it that way for now." I pleaded.

   "Of course sweetie. You can tell him whenever you are ready." She grabbed both my hands.

   "Thank you." I say hugging her.

   We exit the room and head down to the kitchen where Andrew is standing eating an apple.

  "My two favorite ladies have returned!" He exclaimed with that original smirk of his.

  "What do you want Andrew Jay?" His mother says looking at him.

   "Just to know when dinner will be made." Andy answered throwing his hands up in defense.

  We all laugh at that.

   Later that night me and Andrew snuggle up on a couch for a movie. We decide to watch Beauty and the Beast which happens to be my favorite Disney movie.

   Half way through the movie I begin to drift away to the world of dreams but not before I hear: "I will always love you my princess."
