Women that say No

Chapter 17

  "What the hell is happening?" My father asked as we finally made it to our rental Truck in the parking garage.

My mind was so focused that I hadn't realized I was blocking everyone out. Ericka must've gotten rid of Kamron because he was no where in sight. Slowly I came back to reality.

Finally turning to my father and power I apologized and explained.

"I- I don't think this was a good idea." I said trying to gather myself.

"Well its a bit late for that now, Madison. What is going on?" My dad asked utterly lost.

"Yea, What's happening ?"  Power added, just as fogged.

"I'll explain later, can we just go for now.... please?"  I suggested nearly begging.

The drive home was silent until power began to talk.

"I wish he wasn't dying. I wish I could've met him when he was feeling better."

I sighed to myself rethinking this entire thing.

I didn't know what to say and my father was just as speechless.

"I wanna go back to see him before he leaves." Power added pulling every string to my soul. The selfish part of this all was that I was envious that power was becoming attached to this family. I had had him to myself his entire life nearly and didn't know how to share.

Let alone I felt as if I was deceiving my own son, maybe I should have waited until he was far older and maturer to tell him the truth then let him chose.

A million questions were running threw my head but the sound of my phone ringing snapped me out of it.

"Hello?" I answered quickly realizing it was Ms.Charlotte after the fact.

Her voice was shaken and Sutle, sounding as if she had experienced a heart attack she found the words finally.

"Gregory just passed away, Madison there's nothing more in this world I'd need now than to have that angel power by my side, please." She shortly broke down into a heart wrenching sobbing begging repeatedly to see Power.

As we pulled into the drive ͏w͏a͏y I sat there as all eyes were on me and had to make another decision.

"Just— just give me a moment please." I said to her before disconnecting the call.

"He's gone?" My dad asked solemnly without eye contact.

I nodded sadly, realizing everything was again out of my control.

Power was dozing off in the back and I just wanted this all to be a nightmare I could wake up from.

Being around Kamron was far more uncomfortable than I imagined and I couldn't imagine being around him again, but at a time of heartache like this I put myself last and explained to my dad I had to go back.

"I'll take rick." I replied realizing I had exhausted him far enough. Although he insisted on going I just pleaded with him to stay with Allure and give me this time to find myself and get threw this.

I don't know what I was thinking everything was moving so fast. Before I knew it rick was in the passenger seat dressed in a dark navy blue suit accompanying me.

The ride was silent and I took the time to prepare power for what he was returning to and was shocked at his maturity.

He seemed as if he wanted to cry but held it back and just smiled.
