TROUBLED Chapter 32 : He was surprised
Prison isn't easy, it isn't pleasant by any stretch of the imagination, and it isn't a 'holiday camp' as we so often hear – but it does offer stability and structure. Each day at 7:45am the gates are unlocked. Everyone gets ready for their daily activities which start at 8:30am. This was was a very special day for Debby, she would be going home. She didn't have a home but Eric was her home. He had called her informing her that he had just landed a day ago and was staying at a hotel. What he didn't tell her was he had brought a guest. Debby had not slept at all, she was excited. The butterflies in her stomach just wouldn't let her sleep. She imagined how amazing it would feel to be in Eric's arms. Had he changed? Did he still hold his wholesome looks? Did he get any new tattoos? They always got tattoos together, it was spontaneous, it was their thing. Those leaving prison that morning will be unlocked earlier at 7:30am. That could be for court appearance or outside hospital visit or t
TROUBLED Chapter 33 : He wasn’t quite sure
In the middle of an alleyway, she shrugged down to the concrete ground and held her knees close to her chest. She could feel her heart feeling unsteady. It hurt... whatever the feeling was it hurt. It stung. Her eyes were puffy from all the crying, her hands were shaking.. her whole body was shaking. She noticed rats running under the junk where she sat close proximity with. Eric walked over to where she was sat, he sat next to her; quietly. "I have literally given my life for you." She hiccuped, he sighed. "I still want you around, in my life. Nothing has to change, Debby. I love you—" "Just not in that way right?" She let out a sardonic laugh. "I really thought this was the happiest day of my life but..." "I'm sorry!" "You keep saying that but you're just hurting me even more. There are so many things I shielded you from. So many things! I took the fall for you. I had the main tape destroyed just so my brother wouldn't have an incriminating evidence against you. I just—" Debby
TROUBLED Chapter 34 : He was not surprised
"Leo, let's go." Eric said fuming. "What? Go talk to her.." Leona gestured at Debby who was sitting in her corner balling her eyes. It was such a pity scene. "We're leaving." He pulled her but she stood her ground. "You're being very insensitive, I won't allow you to treat her like that." Eric immediately rolled his eyes. He was so annoyed and he had, had it up to his neck with Deborah McFadden. "She is lying." He hissed clenching his teeth from anger. "She is such a manipulative bitch and I don't need this type of negativity in my life or around our child." "Eric—" Leona was immediately cut off. "Trust me, okay? She is lying!" That's when Debby came back with tears flooding, she immediately gave Eric a hot scorching clap on the right cheek. This had him fuming, he was never one to manhandle women but she was surely pushing it."Y-you r-really h-h-ave some nerve calling me a liar!!" Debby hiccuped, her eyes bloodshot red, tears went down her cheeks. Leona felt bad for her. E
TROUBLED Chapter 35 : She was so content
"I like this one better than the rest." Debby gestured at the six apartment of the day. "Are you sure Debby? I much prefer the one with a balcony?" Leona added her suggestion. Debby chuckled. "I hated the bathroom, they reminded me of prison. I wanted something modern.." "Okay, so are you very very sure about this one." "Yes, I feel like it's something.. I would be able to pay off monthly on my own without being a bother. I don't want something too expensive then I can't end up paying the rent.." She paused. "It's also close to my work place.""That's reasonable." Leona replied. Their voices sounded like echoes in this new place. It was a bachelor flat, with a very reasonable pricing and a decent neighborhood. "I really like this one!" Eric entered the room. "Mainly the kitchen, although you can't cook to save your own life.." "Piss off Eric, I'm better than you." "Boiling water for hot chocolate doesn't make you a chef." Eric said sarcastically. "Alright kids!" Leona interven
TROUBLED Chapter 36 : He was so damaged
Dear Ricardo Delgado, my pride and joy. "You will always be my Ricardo none of that English, Eric Michelson, accept your first name; last name and heritage because it will never go away. You're Spaniard, a true born and breed Spaniard. That's who you're and who your children will be. You will not touch this money until you take back your rightful names. I presume you have hit rock bottom, I always knew your anger would not last—"—Eric immediately kicked the edge of the brown leather couch in front of him. It hurt like a bitch. "Ouch.." He muttered. "I probably should not have done that. Damn you Marino!" He let out a sardonic laugh. It was full of so much hate and hurt. He was really letting a dead person get to him. He had not even read through the letter and Marino was already ticking him off. He just knew all the right buttons to press. That nincompoop, a nickname that Debby and Eric used to call him when they were kids. He decided then and there that he could not read this two
TROUBLED Chapter 37 : He was so spiteful
Pacing around the room, Leona read the letter for what seemed like the fifth time. Knowing Eric and how much he worshipped his mother, this was something that would destroy him emotionally and mentally. He had spent his whole life loathing his father. His mother had said enough unkind words concerning his father. Supposedly most mother's did so, driven by anger and wanting pay the father back in spades. It would be in the best interest of a maddened mother to turn the child against their father. What hurt Eric the most was for most of his life... he spent it, causing his father heartache. Even so after his mother had passed. Eric felt anger and guilt. Things could have been different, they could have— When Debby entered the room without knocking for some odd reason, Leona prayed it would be Eric. To her disappointment, it wasn't... her weariness grew. Debby didn't hesitate going over to hug Leona. She seemed like she needed it from the looks of things. "I'm so sorry, I ruined your
TROUBLED Chapter 38 : She was so gone
Debby and Leona embraced tightly. "Don't cry—" Debby said feeling her tears threatening to calm down as well. "He does not deserve those tears and most of all our friendship doesn't have to end because of him." Leona pulled away and nodded quickly. Her hair was roughly put in a bun not caring about her appearance at all. She wore something comfortable knowing it would be a long flight. It bothered her knowing throughout all these eleven hour about to come... she would only be think about him. Replaying scenes over and over again. Scenes from when she first called him.. skinny, obnoxious, disgusting, selfish... Her love and care was slowing turning into resentment. He never acknowledged this child. He rarely ever spoke of it, unless he was putting up a fight about her food choices. Leona had spent so much time watching pregnancy related shows and YouTube videos. The father's to be were overly excited... not the somewhat disinterested attitude, Eric always resembled. "What did he sa
TROUBLED Chapter 39 : She was so done
She should have known that out of every single person in her life... her father would never let her down. He did not speak to her during the past week but he made her breakfast in silence. He cooked healthy lunches with his wife. They would talk and whisper amongst themselves but not with her. She was okay with it, she did not have anything to say. Eric had not bothered checking if she arrived safely. Leona was deadset on forgetting about him. He was a mistake and to think, she thought her life was boring without him. He brought fun and trouble. He was heartless and selfish. Every single observation she had once made about him from the start was true, it was all nothing but the truth. For a moment she wished she had never met him... infact that was now a continuous feeling. Laura and Sam had taken her to lunch the other day. It was all bitter talk and insults thrown here and there. Sam admitted that he still spoke to Eric and they were still good friends. Leona felt betrayed but Sam
