Sassy Song #2
I shrugged, “To sum me up would be to say people abandon me. I’ve got some possible family that seems really nice. I want to trust them, but they are possibly dangerous. I’ve got a new boyfriend. Not like the last one that hit me.” Jag growled.
I laughed, “You’ll fit in great around here. They growl a lot. My mom is absent most of the time, and she’s verbally abusive. What about you?” Why was I telling him this? It really felt like Jag was meant to be my best friend.
Jag sighed, “I’m from the wrong side of the sheets and my stepmom hates me for it. She has a position of power that she uses to do bad things. My dad feels bad about me, so he just lets her do whatever he wants. He honestly has no idea what all she’s doing.”
“My stepmom thinks my dad cheating on her gives her free reign. To be fair, it has. Nothing she does gets punished. My older brother is nice. I should probably reach out to him, but my stepmom sent me here. Forced is the better word to use, actually. You won’t understand but she literally forced me with a command to be here. ” He looked away.
Forced with a command? Was his mom a Governor or some shit? It could be the military. Maybe he was from another country and she was a Queen. Jag shook himself, “I think she meant for me to die.” I gasped because that was awful.
Jag continued, “Either way, whether I lived or died didn’t matter to her.” I asked, “What about your mom?” Jag growled, “My stepmom had her killed. It was written off as an accidental death, but my stepmom told me the truth of what happened.” My god this was horrible.
Jag added, “My dad didn’t believe me. He thought I was in shock and lashing out.
Anyway, the command my stepmom used can drive people crazy.
You literally can’t shake it, but then someone helped me by breaking the command.
I’m certain my family thinks I’m dead, and I find I don’t want to correct them. I’d rather stick around here.”
I told him “That was awful of your stepmom, I’m so sorry. I’m happy someone was able to help you though. Will I see you in school?” Jag smiled, “Nah, I’m nineteen.” I told him, “Well, I’m going to grab one more thing then we could go get dinner if you like.”
I clarified, “As friends. Everyone, well ok everyone but this one bitch, was super nice to me here when I showed up.” Jag said, “I did eat a little bit ago, but I’m always hungry. I prefer picnics though. I’m not trying to be seen around.” I slapped my head.
I realized, “Right. You don’t want your stepmom to know you’re still here. I could grab us some burgers and meet you somewhere.” Jag said, “Sure, here’s some….” he started to take out his wallet. I told him, “Nope. This time is on me, just think about what you want on your burger.”
I grabbed several more boxes of condoms then I walked off to the costume section. Jag snorted. I squealed a little when I found a mermaid costume. Sassy hissed in my head though. I frowned and picked up the costume again.
Sassy took over and made me drop it, hissing. Ok, then. No mermaids, whatever. I squealed when I found two outfits I loved that Sassy didn’t hiss about. Sexy Deadpool and the replica of Padma’s Star Wars outfit. I loved both movies.
I purchased them both and made my purchases. I walked outside and found Jag waiting in the alley. Ok, that was weird. Sassy still wasn’t hissing and Tatum liked Jag too. So, it must not be that weird. Jag asked, “Do you have a phone?” I nodded, “Yeah, I do.”
Jag handed me his, “Put your number in mine.” I did as he instructed then he texted me his order and a place to meet. I left him and went to get us food. I was happy no one commented on Tatum coming in places with me.
I followed Jag’s directions. Without them, there was no way I’d have found this place. It was a secluded area, but there was a picnic table. I sat down and handed him the food. I told Jag, “This is a beautiful area.”
Jag nodded, “Yeah, I really like it.” I asked, “Are you close with your brother?” Jag sighed, “Yes and no. I haven’t told him how awful his mom really is. It’s hard though because she’s his mom, you know?” I admitted, “Yeah, I do.”
Jag smiled saying, “My younger sister is the light of my life. She’s nothing like her mom. She’s sweet as can be and probably missing me. I do feel bad about that. What about you? Any siblings?” I answered, “I have a half-brother for sure, but I haven’t seen him in a while.”
I paused then admitted, “I’ve been trying to find him which led to a catastrophe of epic proportions. Or it was great, I can’t tell.” Jag asked, “What on earth does that mean?” I blurted out, “My family might be the mob.” I clapped a hand over my mouth.
Jag snorted, “Ok, now you have to explain why you think that.” I groaned, “So, I was trying to find my half-brother. I found someone else I’m apparently related to and he told my other half-brothers that I had never met before about me.”
Jag asked, “Mom or dad’s side.” I winced, “I don’t know who my dad is.
Supposedly, I have like a lot of other brothers.
We email and talk over the phone sometimes.
My oldest brother, though, he’s denying he’s a mob boss.
I’m pretty sure he is lying though. He offers people protection, and things like that. ”
Jag shrugged saying, “In your shoes, I do suppose that’s a logical conclusion.” I asked, “What would you think?” Jag smirked, “I appear to know about things you don’t.” I frowned. What the hell did that mean? We ate our burgers quietly.
I added, “Yeah, well I’m semi convinced I’m going to get wacked by the mob. My ex sucks and I think I dated a member of rival mob that my mom arranged a marriage with because she doesn’t care that he hit me and I broke up with him.” Jag snarled, “Your boyfriend from here cannot know that part.”
I winced, “Hey knows I have a psychotic ex. I might have a wolf friend that helps and killed my ex’s uncle. I should be sadder about that than I am, but I’m really not. He was a horrible man, and the wolf gave him what he deserved.” Jag seemed to sit taller after I said that.
I admitted, “I think the wolf wanted me to say thank you, but I was in shock. I did leave food out for him a little bit ago. Hopefully, he knows I’m actually grateful.
” Jag said, “I’m sure he does. Wolves tend to be territorial so that’s probably near his spot.
” I could not believe he didn’t mention how bat shit crazy everything I just said was.
I casually said, “It’s pretty cold out. Do you have a place to stay?” Jag replied, “The colder weather doesn’t bother me, not unlike you.” I sighed, “That didn’t answer the question.” Jag teased, “I have somewhere to stay, little worry wart.”
I stuck my tongue out at him and we both laughed. I told him, “Text me if you need anything. I have a spare room if you ever need somewhere to crash.” Jag told me, “You do the same. I’ll be around and thanks for the offer.” It sounded like he was saying no to it though.
I teased, “Yes, you’ll be around still pretending you’re a Vampire from your Halloween costume.” Jag snorted, “I do NOT want to be a Vampire.” I shrugged, “Baseball player then.” Jag acknowledged, “That’s better, so let’s go with that.” I winked at him and left with Tatum.
I looked at her once we got into my apartment. I complimented her, “You really are the best behaved puppy.” I leaned down and hugged her. I grabbed the ball I’d gotten and played with her for a while before getting her food out when Keaton called.
We teased each other a little bit. I decided I was going to dress up as Sexy Deadpool to prove I was sexy not adorable. Sexy Deadpool definitely got the point across that I was not adorable and my sexy ass boyfriend should take note.
When we got off the phone Tatum had eaten her food and was sleeping on her pillow bed I bought her. I went into my bathroom and pulled my hair up into a slick ponytail. I pulled out the sex shop bag and put on my Sexy Deadpool outfit.
It was spandex with cutouts from my neck to my belly button that cut off at the top of my thigh. I put the belt on and put on the fake swords. I did a cat eyeliner with a smoky eye look and red lipstick. I popped my lips together and nodded, “Perfect.”
I found some thigh high black boots. I snorted, “Jarchi has really great taste. It’s also very broad.
Oh my god stop talking out loud to yourself, Odette.
” I put them on and waited. Something must be keeping Keaton.
I went over to my computer and logged into my computer. I clicked on Noxus’s next email.
Odette,
I am not upset with you in the slightest. Your mother on the other hand, I am quite put out with.
Morgana betrayed me in more ways than I can count.
What she’s done to you will always be the worst. If you want to come to us in person, we can arrange that.
If you want to keep it, let’s call it in, your dreams simply wish it so.
I know you don’t understand the other place you went to. If you go again, it is imperative you remain silent. Do not say a single word or make any noises. Please. It’s extremely important. If you end up there in person, we will come protect you.
When we meet, I’ll be happy to be your stepdad. My offer to help you find your biological father stands as well. Keep near your song boy. You can be mad at him, just be near him. It’s hard to explain, and we can do that better in person.
Please know it’s not weird you needed his shirt, it’s natural. I really do wish you would let us speak face to face. There are things that cannot be explained over email, or on the phone. There are conversations that require being in the same room, and we have many to have with you.
I’m quite certain your mom is a drain on her boyfriends. She seems to have tapped into that side of herself which is quite sad. You are NOT an embarrassment. Morgana is saying these things to keep you isolated and vulnerable. It’s a game, and I’m sorry you got caught in it.
