Chapter 12 Chapter 12
After the threat from Ashley, I became overprotective of Beth. Now she was asthmatic, I had made her keep her inhaler with her at all times. I couldn't tell Scott anything. Scott told me that we were going to be having a dinner party for a deal with a company and so he wants me to be his date and of course I accepted. The party was tomorrow evening because today was Saturday. I told Scott I won't keep Beth with Ashley again but he pleaded and I fell into his trap. Its as if he has a charm on me. I called up Taylor because I needed a gown.
"Tay, could you come to my apartment? I have to get a dress for the party." I informed her.
"Sure, but you have to wear your wig and other disguise stuffs" she said.
"Yeah, I know" I cut off the call and waited for her. Ten minutes later, she came and we left to the mall with Beth. I tried on many gown but it didn't seem right. The salesgirl gave me another gown and I tried it on. I loved it. It was perfect. It was a mermaid black dress that swept the floor with a sweetheart neckline and laced at the chest area. It was really beautiful. It hugged my body perfectly and comfortably. "And that is our dress" Taylor said and squealed. We paid for the dress and left. Taylor went home and I also. It was already getting late so I made dinner for I and Beth. We ate and slept off.
It was time for the party and I was getting ready. I curled my hair and put on some foundation and a smoky eye shadow with some eyeliner, some mascara and a dashing dark purple lipstick. I put on my gown and stared at the mirror. I looked like a different person. I smirked at the thought of blowing Scott's mind away. A horn honked and I checked through the window to confirm if it was Scott and it was. "Beth, its time to go." I called her out and she came out.
"Did you take your inhaler with you?" I asked her. She nodded at head and she seemed a little bit down.
"Are you dropping me off at aunt Ashley's again?" She asked.
"Yes baby, but don't worry. I'll be back very soon okay?" I told her and she nodded again.
"Are you okay baby? Did aunty Ashley do anything to you the other day?" I asked her.
"No. No, she didn't. Let's leave" she said hurriedly. We went out the door and I met Scott. Now, he looked handsome than my favorite celebrity crush but I won't tell him that. I don't need his ego as big as Europe. He looked up noticing us and then his eyes landed on me. I expected him to be awestruck but he was just standing there smiling at me. I then also smiled back.
"Hey" he greeted.
"Hey" I greeted back.
"You look beautiful tonight." He whispered in my ear making me turn red.
"You cleaned up nice too." I complemented him.
"Baby, you don't have to hide it. I can see it in your eyes. Your looking at me like if you could just just take me right now, you would. I know am looking sexily hot." He complimented himself.
"Sexily? Is that even a word?" I asked chuckling and him not answering made me right. We entered the limousine. Yes, I mean a freaking limousine. I also am surprised. We drove off to Ashley's and then knocked on her door. It opened and I wanted to see and also praying that it was a dream that she wasn't dressing up properly but was still dressing up like a slut but what do you know, the universe is always against me, she was still in her jean, cute shirt and ponytail. She gave us a big smile. A text came into my phone and when I opened it, my world crumbled down.
"Hey, you guys. Come in. Come in" she said. we came in and I realized Taylor and Blake weren't here yet which meant we had to wait for them.
"Scott, your looking good" she said with a smile but I could see the flirty look in her eyes and Scott just gave her a small smile. She turned to me and wanted to scowl. I just wanted to lash out on her right now because I was really angry. She thought I didn't know what she did to Beth and mike. she's worse than I thought and I was also angry at Scott. How could he trust her so blindly?. I think its time I told the truth. "So Emily, you work in Scott's company?" She asked.
"Yes, so?" I said rudely making Scott to turn to look at me giving me that 'be nice' look but instead of behaving, I glared at him.
"Oh nothing. I was just asking. You know, its nice your working for him so you can also tale care of Beth and give her the best childhood ever. Beth's a good girl. She be-" now, she'd done it. I slapped her across the face and she turned to look at me like I had just committed the biggest crime ever.
"Miley, what's gotten into you?" Scott came and tried to hold me but I couldn't do it anymore.
"Leave me!!! You bitch, how could you do that to her huh!!!! She's a kid for Christ sake!!! Ashley, she's a kid!!!! Why would you do that to her?!!!! They were not mature for Christ sake!!!!" I screamed. She looked shocked and scared knowing I knew the truth.
"Emi-"
"Shut up!!!! Shut up!!!!"
"Emily, what are you talking about? What did she do huh? Mike and Beth looked okay when we came to pick them so what did she do huh? What did she d-"
"Mike was forced to have sex with Beth!!! She forced them!!!! Mike was crying throughout!!!! She undressed them and slapped them till they did it!!!" I screamed making Michelle turn to look at Ashley, angry tears forming in her eyes.
"What?!!!!!!!!!!!" She yelled making Ashley flinch. I turned to look at Scott and I saw regret, guilt, anger, hatred and shame in his eyes. He turned to look at me but I turned away. I don't know why he trusted her so blindly.
"You made her loose her virginity at the age of nine huh? Are you happy? If you were so horny why didn't you go and get laid huh?!!! Why?!!!!" I yelled. I turned to look at Michelle and Eric. He had tears in his eyes. I knew he was holding himself fro killing her but I couldn't say the same for Michelle because as soon as Eric's hand left her to clean his tears, she reached out for Ashley and fell down with her, slapping, beating her up and cursing profanities at her. I rushed to her and pulled her off. I finally pulled out her off.
"You bit-" she wanted to reach out again but Ashley stopped her.
"Enough!!!! Enough!!!!! Fine!!! I know what I did was wrong okay. I'm sorry!!!! But....I am not the only one with a secret here." She yelled and looked at me making everyone look at me. She came over to me and held me down. I tried getting out of her grip and when I finally removed a hand, she remove my brunette wig making everyone gasp. I realized my lenses also removed. I turned to look at Scott and I saw tears in his eyes and I could see the hate, shock and pain in his eyes. The door opened revealing Taylor and Blake.
"Hey guys, sorry for keeping you wai-" they noticed us making Taylor gasp and Blake left with confusion and shock written all over his face. Taylor ran over to me.
"Mia, are you okay?" She asked worriedly and I realized she just caused a big mistake for herself. Oh Taylor, I'm so sorry.
"You knew?" They all asked. I turned to look at them except for Ashley and I could see the anger and pain in their eyes. I turned back to Scott.
"Sco-"
"What the fuck is going on here?!!!!" He screamed.
"Sco-"
"So you're Emily and Emily is you huh?!!!" He said again. I tried touching him but he flinched way like my touch had burnt him.
"So you've been playing me all along again right?" He said with a bitter laugh.
"Was it another bet?" He said and turned to look at Taylor,giving her the most deadliest glare ever.
"And you. The first day she set foot in my company, you still hired her and lied directly to my face. You know how much I hate liars for Christ sake Taylor!!!!!"
"Scott am so-" He held his hand up shutting her up.
"No more Taylor. No more and just so you know, don't come back to the office. Your fired." He said making my eyes widen.
"Nonononononono Scott. You can't fire her. It's all my fault. I'm sorry please you cannot fire her." I begged him and he looked at me with hat filled in his eyes, smirked and was walking out.
"How could you fucking do this Mia?!!!!!!" Blake's voice boomed making me flinch. From the corner of my eye, I saw Ashley smirk.
"Blake, I'm sorry. Please for-" Taylor tried pleading but he glared at her shutting her up. I was fed up with this. I don't know why he was the most angriest. I know I left but I don't know why he hates me so much. "What do you have against me Blake?!!!! What?!!!! I know I left but you and I were not even that close for you to be hate me this much so what do you hav-"
"I have something against you Mia because I was in love with you!!!! I'd been in love with you since I first laid my eyes on you. You do not know how much it hurt me when you left. I started liking Taylor a lot but you were still there so it hurt me and now, I had already started learning how to love, you come back as the Emily girl. I loved you Emilia. A lot but when I saw you only had eyes for Scott, I backed down. Scott was like a brother to me and when you left him broken, why wouldn't I have something against you Mia why?!!!" He half yelled. I was speechless. Blake was in love with me. I turned to look at Scott and saw hatred, anger and shock in his eyes.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
