The Day Mom Burned My Future Chapter 7
I could clearly hear loud crashing noises from the other end of the line, as if someone was smashing things.I knew Mr. Jarrell wasn't smashing things, but Mom.As he continued, he cursed, "Unbelievable. How did I even get someone like you to help out in the first place?"Mr. Jarrell laughed out in sheer disbelief.It turned out that when Mom was asking him for some thugs, she'd told him she found a solution to get the money back.Curious, Mr. Jarrell asked, "What kind of solution is that? Is it something shady?"Mom broke into a smile. "Not shady at all! It's money from the government. It doesn't get more legit than that!"She then confidently explained her plan.First, she'd bring some thugs over to Aunt Tiffany's house and beat us until we gave in. Then, she'd threaten us. Finally, she'd abduct us to the Department of Education and force us to sign the contract.Mr. Jarrell was rendered silent.He couldn't believe Mom was actually suggesting to threaten and abduct us to th

I was perplexed when I heard it was someone from the State Department of Education.Aunt Tiffany opened the door and told them I was Shannon's son.An official in a suit immediately stepped forward, greeting me warmly.He explained that because I came from a low-income family and had been admitted to a top-tier university, I qualified for a special state-funded scholarship worth about 30 thousand dollars.The official said all I needed to do was sign the paperwork, and the money would be deposited into the designated bank account within a couple of weeks.I had never heard anything about it before.And when I took a closer look at the contract, the designated bank account belonged to Dad.It was easy to figure out what had happened. Mom and Dad had kept this news from me so they could pocket the scholarship.But this money belonged to me.They didn't want me to go to university, but they wanted the scholarship that came with it.The audacity was almost impressive.As such, I

The next day, Aunt Tiffany insisted on going home with me to grab my ID and my essentials after she was discharged.We were both bracing ourselves for a confrontation, but my parents were not even home.Our neighbor, Ms. Lewis, was surprised to see me coming home. "Your parents got beaten up that badly and you're completely fine?"The old apartment building had terrible soundproofing. Everyone could hear what was going on around the area.I briefly explained what had happened. Her eyes immediately lit up, eager for gossip.Apparently, Mr. Jarrell had shown up at my door last night, asking for the IOUs.Mom was her usual self when she opened the door. Two bottles of bourbon were already set on the table. "Oh, you're here, Mr. Jarrell? The IOUs aren't going anywhere. Let's have a drink first. We can play a few rounds of cards while we talk."She tried to cover her guilt with hospitality and expensive liquor.Mr. Jarrell chuckled. "Alright. Looks like you're still so good at welco

Aunt Tiffany froze, her phone still raised in her hand. Her mind had gone blank from the sheer flood of information.Unhurried, I took the phone from her. "Hello, Ms. Shannon Walker. To what do I owe the pleasure?"Mom's temper blew instantly. "You've got some nerve asking that! Where are the IOUs I left in the room? Why are they gone?"I played dumb. "What? I don't know what you're talking about. My brain isn't built to understand IOUs. What even are those?"Mom was so furious that she was rendered speechless. I could practically hear her grinding her teeth even through the phone.She was clearly at her wits' end.Mom yelled, "Cut the act, you brat! I know I left them beside your stupid admission letter. If you didn't take them, who did? "You useless fool! Do you have any idea how important those are? Do you think it's funny? Keep messing around and I'll have your dad break your legs!"She was shouting so loudly I had to pull my phone away from my ear.I replied, "I understa

Aunt Tiffany was gravely injured. Not only did she sustain a mild concussion, but the back of her head even needed several stitches.I stayed by her bedside all night in the hospital, never sleeping a wink. Meanwhile, Mom, who was responsible for this, slept soundly at home.She didn't call until Aunt Tiffany woke up. "Oh, Tiff, I'm sorry for last night. I was on my period, so my hormones were running wild. It's my bad. I'll bring a couple of bottles of bourbon over to your place another day as an apology!"Mom spoke of the matter lightly, which made Aunt Tiffany snort.Mom immediately snapped back, "What's that supposed to mean, Tiff? Are you really going to hold it against me when you know I wasn't feeling well? We're sisters. You're being way too petty!"She was always like this.In my past life, when her gambling buddies beat me to death, Mom defended them in front of the police. "We were just trying to teach him a lesson. That brat kept talking back to me. How is that my fau

At that, Aunt Tiffany's mind went blank."What are you even saying, Jason? That's your own son! He worked hard for the three years he's in high school, all just for that admission letter!" The veins on the back of her hand pulsed as she spoke, clearly furious.But Dad was unmoved. "But Shannon's upset. I can't stand seeing her lose her temper. I don't care about anything else as long as she's happy. Frank's our child, so why shouldn't he do what we say?"Then, he handed the lighter to Mom, even turning to grab the envelope that held the admission letter.I was used to Dad's antics since I was still a child.Back when I was in high school, Mom was addicted to gambling. But he never stopped her, nor did he divorce her.Whenever Mom played cards, Dad would pay for it. It went to the point where we didn't even have money to buy bread, but we'd have a card table in the house.He'd do anything to keep her happy.As for me, it was considered kind enough for them to keep me alive.Bac
