Women that say No

Chapter 11

   I grabbed my ringing iphone off the dresser of my old room which hadn't changed a bit and hit the green answer button without a second thought.

"Hello?" I asked heavenly.

"Madison?" A woman's voice called out.

I glimpsed at the phone only to see an out of state number.

"Who is this?" I asked abit caught off guard.

"Kamrons mother... powers Grandmother."

My eyes grew wide as my heart rate increased tremendously.

My words stuttered as I collected myself. "Why the hell are you contacting me?"

I can tell my words flustered her because there was a brief pause as she gathered what she was going to say softly responding , " Powers grandfather is dying Madison, He's been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and it's in its last stages. He only has one wish to see power, please... please have a heart and allow him this wish." She pleaded trying to pull the strings to my heart... but I was numb.

"I'm sorry to hear that... but...—."

"Madison please, don't deny him this wish. You don't have to see Kamron he doesn't have to have any contact with you or power at all. Please just allow Gregory to see his only grandson."

"Mrs.Hillard, with all due respect..." I sighed as something inside of me grabbed my tongue and twisted my words... "Just allow me some time to think this over." Were the words I concluded with before she rambled on telling me it wouldn't probably be long so please don't think too long every minute counts.

I hung up the phone feeling as if I were in the twilight zone. There was no way I was going to allow myself or son to be around someone like them.

Thinking those thoughts made me realize that the grudge I was holding was tearing me down each day of my life. I didn't know what I would do, I couldn't deny a dying person something such as a moment of bonding. I didn't know where exactly I was going with this, but the thought of this decision was making my head hurt.

I returned downstairs where I noticed Angela and rick were on the back patio, and decided to take a listen.

"Angela you know Allure doesn't belong to me, it's not worth fixating over. I thought we vowed to work on our marriage." Rick mentioned in a more of a pleading tone.

"I'm trying rick, can you atleast see that. But right now the problem I hadn't faced in years has resurfaced and looking at that baby makes me believe my intuition was true all of this time."

There was a brief pause, before ricks voice returned moderately low but calmly asking, "Do you trust me?"

"Yes."

"Then understand I have no desire to be with her, I don't want to lose my family...."  He uttered in a tone that made me roll my eyes in disgust ... I turned to walk away and there my mother was facing me.

"Eavesdropping huh?"

"Not even." I stuttered trying to grasp my balance and decrease my heart rate.

"Madison." My mother called as I began to walk off.

I turned slightly not giving her the eye contact she was expecting. "Yes?"

"Where exactly did you think this whole thing was going to end?"

I exhaled a breath it felt like I had been holding in since the beginning of it all and Faced my mother.

"Don't fixate on something that doesn't concern you, don't worry me and my children will be out of your hair in no time."

"You can't live in this denial forever Madison. It's worse on those babies not knowing the truth."

"What truth mom?" I repeated after.

"You think power won't wonder where his father is and why he's the only kid without a dad. Kamrons due for parole and with those damn parents of his I'm sure they'll want some form of visitation."

I shook my head with a smirk of despise. "I've been handling this perfectly fine for the pass years of kamrons imprisonment I think I have this covered."

"And what about Allure. Ricks clearly up to something and it won't be long before Angela realizes and this entire ship sinks, and you're going to be the captain. You need to face these issues head on and don't allow yourself to live in denial, you'll only make it worse for everyone around you."

"Mom, you're a family doctors and don't know the least about your own family. I have everything under control, I am not going to let you and your ridiculous fabricated stories of what you and who you believe my daughters father is effect me. Now it's thanksgiving a time for being thankful not bitter or a made up private investigator. I'd appreciate if this is our last conversation concerning my children."

Just as I uttered those words rick entered.

"Hey sorry, I just received a call from The parole board, Kamrons being released in the next 24hours."

As he uttered those words my heart sunk into my stomach.
