Secret Mistake 3

58.

GIA POV

Picking up Ryan from school earlier than usual. He got in with a confused look on his face "why are you here?".

"Just get in" I said. He closed the door and just sat there still confused. Moving the car I was tapping the steering wheel. "Umm mom... so are you going to tell me what's going on?" He asked.

I continued to drive "Ryan look... I'm not sure if you are like myself. You know I'm not scared of a lot of things or people. Being what I been through not a lot scares me anymore".

"Is this a trick question?" He asked.

"No, I'm just trying to open up to you a little bit" I said.

"Oh? Umm I'm not scared of anything or anyone" he said.

"I know that. And with you killing people. It's like looking in a mirror" I said.

"Mom you only killed one person. Chill out" he said. I smiled a little "no I killed two people as well". Ryan turned his head slowly at me "Say what?".

"Yeah I'm guilty of two murders. And I did it for the same intention... trying to keep evil from my family" I said.

"Mom?! Wow?! I'm not even sure I know you" he said.

"At least you know where you get it from" I joked. Not really sure where we were going but I kept driving around. We still haven't explored Connecticut yet. "Mom? Where are we going?" He asked.

"Not sure yet" I said. My phone rang which was on the Bluetooth in the car. Ryan and I both saw who it was. He sucked his teeth "just answer it". Accepting the call Ron's voice came through the speakers. Ryan stayed quiet. "Hey!" I said.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Just on the road running errands" I said.

"Oh cool, well I hope I didn't get Ryan in you much trouble" he said.

"He didn't get in trouble at all" I said.

"Oh... " he said.

"What time did he call you?" I asked.

"It was around nine, why?" He asked. Ryan shook his head. "Ron my son was asleep at eight. There was no way he could've called you".

"Someone called me. And it sounded like Ryan. But if you're saying he was sleeping then I don't know. The person was very adamant about us" he said.

"It wasn't Ryan. Next time don't assume it was any of my kids. Are you sure someone even called you?" I asked.

"I'm positive. Whomever called me sounded evil. The things they were saying were weird. But since it's not Ryan I apologize" he said. Ryan rolled his eyes and had his hand talking.

"That is weird but let me call you back" I ended the call and turned to Ryan "sorry I didn't believe you". He shrugged "it's okay. But you think he's lying".

"That I don't know. Maybe someone did call him. Who knows. But it wasn't you. Unless someone is trying to sound like you to start problems" I said.

"Sounds about right. And you guys made me promise not to kill anyone. Why did I agree to this?!" He said.

"Look just be a kid. Before you know it you'll be a grown man" I said.

We rode around for another hour. There wasn't really much to do and it was chilly out. This cold weather wasn't my friend. Pulling up to our house we walked in. "Why is Ryan home early?" Delano asked.

"Had to apologize to him" I smiled.

"Yeah mom believed me! And I don't know but someone is messing with you guys and they're going through other people" he said.

Delano glanced at me "What is he talking about?".

"Ron called and I explained to him Ryan was in bed at eight and he claims the person called him at nine just saying some weird things. But I'm thinking whomever called him is making themself sound like Ryan to stir up some shit" I said. Delano sighed "here we go again".

"Right, and I can't kill anyone else" we both looked at Ryan and pointed to his room. He easily walked away from us. "What do we do now?" I asked.

"I say let it happen again. So far it happened once. So if they call Ron again then we act. But if not, then it's whatever" Delano said.

"Yeah I guess" I said.

Delano came to me and hugged me "but I'm happy you took our sons side. Don't ever let someone question your kids".

"You're right. Putting all the pieces together that night it didn't match up" I said.

"Oh snap can you go pick up Salem today? I have to take Harlow to the doctor for her psychical" I said. He nodded "yeah I can pick her up".

"Oh let me warn you her teacher is a little off" I said. Delano raised his brow but didn't say anything. Getting Harlow dressed I made my way out the door. "Oh bring her a snack to eat in the car cause she's always hungry".

"Of course" he smiled. He kissed Harlow goodbye and we went to get this appointment over with.
