Sisterly Love (Part 5)
When I woke up the rain was pounding outside my window. I think that is what woke me up since it was only 8 am. I couldn't fall back asleep now. I was just too awake from the hail storm outside. I hate rainy days. I always get depressed and miserable when it rains. I feel like I am trapped in the house all day long. This would be the perfect day actually for my movie marathon and my food fest I have been craving.
I get out of bed and go downstairs. I see Billy reading the paper and drinking coffee. I swear this kid reminds me of my grandpa. Like what teenager gets up this early because they want to and sits in the kitchen drinking coffee and reading the New York Times? Weird.
"Good morning....Madison? What are you doing awake so early?" he says
"Couldn't sleep...the weather is horrible" I say
"Are we a little cranky this morning?" he says
"Yes..." I say and he laughs
"What?" I ask
"No, nothing you just remind me of my brother. He is the same exact way in the morning. I am surprised he isn't down here too complaining about the same thing" says Billy
"Ugh I would really appreciate it if you didn't compare me to him right now...please and thank you" I say and sit down at the kitchen table
"Ok...um...toast?" asks Billy
"No thanks I am not hungry. All I want to do is sleep. Stupid weather. I am sorry by the way if I am annoying you with my ongoing complaining but this is what I do...you should feel bad for Holly" I say
"It's not so bad" he says feeling bad for me
Billy is so nice...a real gentleman. Why can't Matthew be like his brother? And why does Holly always wind up with the good ones? Ugh my life is so frustrating.
I decide to read all the sections of the newspaper that Billy has already read since there is nobody else up and nothing else to do. I must say I learned some interesting things I have never known before. I should do this more often....NOT!
Then about an hour later I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. It sounded like two pairs and it was. Mom and Josie have announced that they have to go meet with Josie's sister and show the house to people so they will be out for most of the day...great.
I decide I was going to try to make the best of the nasty day so first I took a shower and made myself look somewhat presentable for whatever I had in store for today.
--
I went back downstairs and sat on the couch. Guess who was sitting on the other couch...yup...Matthew. He was watching some dumb reality show and some guy was screaming his brains out at some other guy. I guess this is where he gets his ignorance from. It was an awkward situation but both of us pretty much pretended that the other wasn't there.
All of a sudden out of nowhere the doorbell rings. Ugh who could this be now? I was in no mood for UPS, girl scouts, or any other kinds of people.
"Is anyone going to get the door?....Nobody ok I guess I am" I say because me and Matt were the only ones in the living room. Holly and Billy were on the computer in the basement
I get up and open the front door of my house. A man is standing there. He is about six feet tall and he has black hair and brown eyes. He has a scruffy look and he is swaying back and forth and oh my he reeks like alcohol. EW!
"Hi can I help you?" I ask him nicely but hesitantly
I can feel Matt watching just in case this guy is a creep. Even though we aren't talking to each other right now I just hope he is smart enough and has the heart to protect me if this guys an asshole. I shouldn't have even answered the door. My mom always told me never to answer the door to a stranger especially if she isn't home. Well I forgot to look through the peek hole...oops!
"H-oll-y" the man says slurring his words
"Um no I'm not Holly, how do you know Holly?" I ask
Just then I hear footsteps behind me. Matthew is next to me and pulling me away from the door. He whispers to me "Go sit on the couch now...please...listen to me Madison...please"
"Why? Leave me alone Matt I can handle this"
"Madison! Go!...Please" he says and looks into my eyes
Ok I can tell he thinks something is up with this guy so I do what he tells me and I sit on the couch
"Can I help you sir? What is your name?" Matt asks the man
"My name is Oliver"
Matt's face goes blank. He turns around and looks at me. I don't know what he is thinking. Holly comes upstairs with Billy and she asks what is going on
"Are y-ou Hol-Holly?" Oliver says slurring some more
Holly looks scared and Billy says "Who is this guy Matt?"
"I don't know he just rang the door bell and is asking for you Holly"
Holly starts walking towards the door
"Holly what are you doing stop come here" I say
Matt turns to me and says "It's ok let her we have to see what he wants and who he is although I already have a pretty good idea" What does he mean by that? Who does Matt think the guy is?
"Matt?" I ask worried
He looks at me and mouths the word "Father" and then points to me
My eyes bulge out of my head in shock. It cannot be true, this cannot be happening right now. It has to be a dream. This isn't my dad standing at my front door right now 17 years later. No, it's not him.
"Holly do you recognize him?" asks Matt and Billy as the guy is just staring into space
"I don't know but he looks familiar. What did you say his name was...Oliver? The only Oliver I know is my ...dad." She says blankly
Holly looks at the man again and goes into the dining room and grabs a picture frame. Inside the frame is a picture of her and our dad. She looks at the picture and then at Oliver several times and then steps back
"Oh my god Madison...it's him" she says and backs away from the door
I could tell she is frightened and so am I. He looks like he is crazy
"Holly talk to him" says Billy
"Dad?" Holly says, her voice shaking
"Holly...baby...oh I have missed you so much" he says and tries to hug her but she pulls away and says "Please stop get off me...you think because you are happy to see me that I am happy to see you...no I don't think so"
"Matt" I whisper and he looks at me. I am getting really nervous and scared. I start to tear up. I see a knife in the guy, my dad's, pocket.
Matthew comes over to me and kneels in front of me. He looks me in the eyes and says "Madison, what is wrong, what? Do you see something?" he asks concerned as my eyes are fixed on the knife in Oliver's back pocket.
"Matt..." I whisper and nod my head in the direction of the weapon
Matt turns around and fixes his eyes in the position I directed him to and he looks back at me in shock
"Ok relax it's ok. Stay here do not move ok" he says trying to calm me down
"My sister Matt...protect her. Get her away" I say in a low voice
He nods his head and heads back to the door and he whispers to Billy about the weapon. I am shaking right now. What if this guy does something bad to my sister, or Matt, or Billy, or even me? Would he really hurt his own daughters, his own flesh and blood? I mean if you ask me I think that me and Holly should be the ones with the knife about to do some serious damage to him. It kills me to even call him my dad...he isn't my dad, look at him. He is a filthy drunken murderer.
"Sir, I am going to have to ask you to leave. Go home" says Billy
Then I see Oliver's eyes fix on mine. His eyes are bloodshot so bad that he is probably not only drinking but doing drugs as well.
"Who is she? Oh my...she looks like a younger Holly...she actually looks a lot like myself"
Oh no please don't figure out that I am also your daughter...please
"My wife was pregnant at the time...child...she is my child too" he says to himself
I look at Matt in fear and he looks back and mouths "It's okay baby"
I am so close to calling the cops right now but I feel like if I tried he would figure it out and hurt one of us.
Just then he walks into my house and walks towards me with a crazy face
"Get away from me you psycho! You aren't our father...you are just some guy who left our mother to raise two baby girls all by herself! You never cared and you never will so why are you here all of a sudden. Get the hell out of our house or I am calling the cops!" I say as I hold my hands in front of me
Oliver then tries to grab me and I see Billy make his way towards the phone. It looks like he called the cops. As Oliver is being fascinated by me and planning his next move, Matt goes behind him and grabs the knife out of his back pocket. Oliver turns around fast and stares at Matt. He looks angry.
"You leave now or else there will be serious problems guy, serious problems" says Matt
I hear sirens next and Oliver panics. He runs to the back door of my house and through my backyard. Matthew runs over to me as soon as Oliver runs outside and he hugs me and comforts me and I start hysterical crying. Luckily the cops were in my yard and they caught my dad. That sounds so horrible to say.
We told the police the whole story and Oliver was arrested. My mom and Josie rushed home after hearing what happened and they were so worried about us all they kept asking was if we were okay and we were, thank god.
"Hey, we don't need him...we have each other" says Holly
"Yeah...and mom" I say
"And mom, of course" she says and laughs
--
That night, after things settled down I was in my room writing the day down in my diary. Matt comes in.
"Hi...come in. Come here sit with me" I say to him
He smiles and sits down on my bed next to me
"How are you holding up?" he asks
I seriously couldn't listen to him talk about how I was because he was the one who risked his life to save mine by grabbing the knife out of psychos back pocket. Who knows what would have happened to me
So I didn't answer Matthew with words, instead I answered him with a kiss
He smiled and said "So I guess that you are alright then? I am sorry by the way about the other day at the birthday party. I acted like such a jerk" he asks
"It's okay. I am better than alright. I owe everything to you Matthew. You saved my life"
"You don't owe me everything...Just your love" he says
I kiss him again and we continue to kiss. The kiss grows into a very passionate make out session on my bed. It got pretty hot in my room and I am not talking about the temperature. That night me and Matt had a slumber party...nothing crazy happened...he just slept in my bed with me is all. We didn't do it or anything. Once again Holly was right, as she always is.
--
"Hey, Madison...did you hear the good news?" asks Holly during the next week
"No, what? We need some good news around here" I say
"You are going to love this. You know Billy and Matthew's grandpa's house that mom and Josie and Josie's cousin are trying to sell?" says Holly
"Uh yeah!" I say getting more excited
"Guess who bought it!"
"Who?!?" I scream although I already have a feeling I know who
And before my sister could tell me I see Matt and run up to him and hug him and kiss him. He is my boyfriend and I can do this to him anytime I want but this time was because the answer was him. Josie, Matthew, and Billy are moving into their grandfather's old house. Why couldn't they think of the idea sooner? I mean duh!
"It's true right Matt...are we going to grow up some more together?" I ask
"Yes! Baby it's true" he says and kisses me
"Yay! Oh my god I am so excited! Do you know what this means?" I say
"We can be together forever?" he asks
"Yes, but I can see you everyday now...no more saying I haven't seen you in forever because now I will be seeing you forever" I say
"I love you Madison" Matthew tells me
A big smile flashes across my face and I reply "I love you too Matthew"
My sister was right. She was right about everything. She told me I would wind up liking the boys when they moved in and she was right. She told me that I was going to have a slumber party with Matt and she was right. She also told me that she loves me and that we will be best friends forever and all I need is her and my mom and she is right! I love my sister. Our bond will and can never be broken.
And they all lived happily ever after =)
THE END!
