So where were we? Oh the beginning of the end. Sad isn't it? Well the thing is, I had no idea back then that every single decision I made in the next few days was me also buying a one way ticket to the end. The end of what, you may wonder. Is it the end of a situation, an era, a person? Well, stick around and you shall find out. Cuz simply, I at this point had no clue where my actions were taking me. I only knew one thing: I wanted the mysteries explained, all of em once and for all. No consequences mattered and no fears were enough to stop me. I was blinded by rage, curiosity, fear, and well,,, love.
A death certificate with the name "Meghan Kellar" date of death: 27th of April 2018. Meghan is dead, has been for two years now and I didn't know that. How did she die? Why didn't Arsen tell me? What else do I not know?
I was panicking and I was scared, blood was rushing to my head and the weather around me got hotter as I could hear my own heartbeats. I had promised myself to stay away from it all, in fact I was just beginning to move on. But now this? It was like my one way ticket back in to the drama I vowed to avoid. I knew going to Arsen wasn't an option, I knew seeking any explanations was practically impossible. Unless,, unless the explanation found its way to me. The door bell of my 120 meters square apparetment rang, and I opened the door to another surprise.
"Hello captian." Jake my neighbor faced me. Only that, I knew he wasn't Jake, I knew he was Harry. Meghan's ex husband..
"Hello." It felt like I just shoved 5 scoops of ice cream in my mouth and the brain freeze was butchering the last few functioning brain cells I had left. "Jake." I finally said.
"It's actually Harry." He added. "And you already know that."
"Know? Know what?" I tried my best to play it dumb, but apparently I failed.
"Come on Destiny, let's skip the bullshit, let's get to the point." He was so confident and calm with every word he said, it was as if he knew exactly what consequences his words will lead to and he didn't seem to fear em.
"What do you want from me?" I said in a scared defensive tone. "I really don't know anything!!"
"Easy easy, you seem so scared." He faked a smile. "I really am not here to hurt you."
"Then why are you here?" I asked with my hands forcefully grabbing the door to make sure I can slam it shut if I ever felt the need to.
"I'm here to tell you the truth, the truth behind Arsen that I am certain he refused to tell you." He paused. "And after I do so, it'll be your call, whether to help me or to choose the unfair evil way, which is Arsen's way." What do I do? Do I tell him no thanks and ignore it all, or do I keep involving myself even more? We already know what I chose.
"Now can you let me in?" Harry asked so I agreed and let him in.
I heard every word he had to say, paid attention to every detail and every fact. I didn't add a comment or ask a question, I just sat and listened as he poured out a side of Arsen's past that I didn't know existed.
"Arsen isn't the innocent person he claims to be. Neither the word around the street in England nor the impression he gave you here is true, only I know who he really is." Harry started his story with this, keep in mind I don't know what's true and what's not anymore. "He was a drunk womanizer who used his dad's money in all sorts of shit. Meghan and I always tried to get him back to the right path but he never listened to anyone. After his father stopped giving him a penny he took matters into his own hands and started an illegal business." Which in this case I assumed is the diamond smuggling shit.
"And before his father passed away he made sure to make it clear in his will that Arsen doesn't get a penny, and Meghan inherited everything." He got a bit emotional after saying her name. "She didn't ask for it, she just wanted to live peacefully with her daughter and I. But he took them both away from me. He already took all the money and I don't want it, he can keep it! I just want my daughter back. I can't wait until he does to her what he did to my Meghan."
"What did he do to Meghan?" I mumbled underneath my breaths too scared to hear the answer.
"You got the death certificate, didn't you?" His tone sounded broken, sad, and unsure.
I didn't have a comment or a single put-together thought. This new side of the story, actually,, it's not even a new side of the story, it's a whole new story. This time it was the story where Arsen is a bad guy, a very bad evil manipulative guy. And both stories are possible, although most people would feel like Harry's story is more likely to be true. But then again, it might not. I truly was so painfully confused.
"You must help me." Harry begged as he found his way out.
"Really? And why is that?" I asked feeling angry at everything and everyone.
"You always choose the right way, I've seen how nice and helpful you are. And I believe that if you can help me, you will." Harry said, or may I say, kissed my ass.
"I am also a very curious person, and when I set my mind up to knowing the truth behind something-"
"You do." He interpreted me. "And I'm sure you'll find out that I'm the one who needs your compassion."
I shut the door behind him with a brain as shocked as an electrocuted one. It was the truth given to me on a silver plate. Arsen is a bad person, Arsen is a,, killer?
Should I believe Harry? Everything around me is telling me I should believe Harry, Arsen is bad. But I had to at least give him the benefit of the doubt. I know what you're thinking, Des, what doubt? I had proof, solid proof that Arsen isn't who he claims to be. Since the very beginning the whole world wanted to push me away from him, but I still stuck around. And he never made me regret it, not for a single time. So why would he make me regret it this time?
I wanted to fight for Arsen, but to do this I had to prove Harry wrong. How exactly? Considering Arsen pushed me away, and all the material I have proves he's, well,,, a killer. But I vowed to walk that extra mile for him, so help me god. However, just in case he's a killer or a total psychopath, let's just avoid him. Let's stay away from what can be bad. Let's stay away from Arsen Kellar. For now at least.
