Chapter 14: Raphael
I sink into the couch finally enjoying the tranquility of my house now that that pesky Selena is gone,she was one heck of a pain in the ass.
I decide to turn on the TV and see what's going on in the news
It comes alive showing a news caster with blonde hair with brown eyes as she went through the various headlines of the news.A familiar sound of the news theme song fills the room
Nothing new was on however,it's the same old same old
Increased gas prices
Politicians running for elections and of course people talking about life and how shitty it is, especially because of capitalism and all
Y'know all the good stuff.
I reach for the remote and ready to turn off the TV when the newscaster reads a new headline
*Explosion at Ruby Wayne's daughter's private warehouse,there were no recorded deaths but there were a few injuries including Ruby Wayne herself
That name sounds familiar.
A display of the explosion shows up on the screen showing a horrific sight of a whole building collapsing and a familiar looking woman being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.
The video gets cut off from the screen and then she continues giving more info on the situation
*However her daughter Julliette Wayne was spotted in the airport and in the hospital where her mother supposedly is amid the situation...
Julliette…
Ruby Wayne
That's her mom
A video of Julliette running from the reporters in an oversized coat and messed up hair pops up and then another one of her in the center of a bunch of reporters shows up.
She looks highly uncomfortable as she struggles to get away from them
*So far we have not been able to get information out of any of the Wayne family as to how or why the fire started but sources say it might have been an electricity spark.For the time being we remain unsure.Mr and Mrs Wayne however were caught outside the hospital and she seems in better health than we thought.However Julliette herself was not spotted with them raising eyebrows of many
*But for the mean time the world would like to know what exactly is happening to the Wayne family and could this be a fall of their prestigious legacy?
Damn that's a lot to take in she's obviously going through some really bad situation
I kind of feel sorry for her,must be really hard.She looks scared and vulnerable
A part of me actually wants to reach out to her and give her some support but I don't exactly have her number and I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to hear from me.
"I probably should stay out of it anyway" turning off the TV finally as I drop the remote back
An aching feeling at the back of my head tugs at my conscience making me think twice.I can't believe my conscience is actually working.
She does seem like she would need someone to talk to..even though I'm not the best candidate for that.I scratch the back of my head feeling like I'm at a crossroad with my conscience.For every excuse I give the more horrible I feel for not reaching out.
Let's face it I wasn't exactly the best person in her life but some kind words can't hurt anyone right?
Right
I take out my phone and search her name on social media in hopes of finding her.After going through different fake accounts and fetish fandom pages I found her.I take a look at some of her pictures she posted and I can't deny how beautiful she has become.
Stop you're being a creep
I go to her DM and send her something nice
*"Hey, it's been awhile since we've spoken.I know our past relationship had a sour turn of events but I thought it would be nice to reach out.I saw you on the news and you didn't look so good.Need a friend?"
See that wasn't so hard after all
Immediately an ellipsis appears on the screen.
That was faster than I expected.
Her reply pops up and I'm not shocked at her reply
*"Fuck you,go to hell"
Ouch
Why did that hurt my feelings?
I never knew her to be this fiesty.Its actually amusing
I receive a notification from my phone with my mother's name on it.I tap it already knowing what she'll say
*"Call me now"
Oh brother this is going to be good.
I roll my eyes but obey and as soon as I call her she yells at me without wasting a single breath
"How dare you ignore my calls for the entire day!"
"Where have you been?"
"And why is Selena not with you!!"
I keep my cool not answering any of her questions and when she's done speak cooly
"You knew I was going to kick her out sooner or later,this shouldn't be a shock to you.I don't know why you thought putting someone I obviously detest in my private space was a good idea"
"You will invite her back to your house right this minute and you will apologize,are you trying to embarrass me, what will my club members think of me?"she yells
"I'm sorry I have to be the bad guy here but that's not going to happen"I reply in a cool but firm voice "I have to go now I have school work to attend to"I continue
"Why are you acting like this,you've changed ever since you started going over to your father's house you've been acting different, he's been giving ideas hasn't he?"
I roll my eyes not ready for this conversation
"I'm not a little boy any more you can not oppose my decisions any more,of you like Selena so much then adopt her then.But I want to have nothing to do with her, give it a rest mom"
"But-"she starts
"Good night mother"I say cutting her off before ending the call
I have no idea how many times I have to tell her this same thing over and over again,im slowly loosing my patience
