The Truth Chapter : Three
robyn has had some rough time but to find that her x husband is back in town scares her even more.
Chapter three
Around 12:15 I started to get hungry so I reached into my purse when my cell phone rang.
"Hello?''
"Hi Robyn." My brother said
"Hi, Jon." I said
"I just wanted to make sure that Nikkie was supposed to be there at 12:30."
"Yes but can you have her go a little earlier, just in case."
"Yes of course."
"You guys are still staying for dinner right?"
"Yeah, hey do you need me to get anything."
"No it's fine, I have to run to the store quick anyway but otherwise I am good I have drinks and dinner is planned."
"Okay, you sure though."
"I am positive." I said "So is that it."
"Well someone at the shop is asking for you."
"Who?" I asked I had stopped working at that shop when my father owned it, who would be looking for me there."
"Jared." He said
"What!?!" I asked confused
"Yeah I know."
"I thought he moved away right after high school. I thought he would never come back." I finally said
"None of us thought he was coming back but he asked if he could see you he wants to make it up to you. And he said he heard some rumors and just wants to make sure that they are not true."
"What are the rumors about?" I asked
"Grace." Was all he said?
"Are you serious?"
"Why would I joke around?"
"Well tell him I never want to see him again."
"Robyn you can't do that."
"Why?"
"Because, he is going to find out about her and anyway she needs a dad figure."
"I am fine on my own."
"Yeah but she will never have a normal life if you don't give her a father."
"Well for now you can be the father figure."
"Robyn."
"I don't want to talk to him at least not today." I said firmly letting him know this was the end of the discussion. "Good-Bye."
"See you later."
When I hung up the phone I grabbed my granola bar and was just about to take a bite when the 12:20 appointment walks in. Great.
"Hello you must be the William's."
"Yes we are." The mother said
"Okay so we are doing a check up for Elijah, Hannah, and Travis. Am I correct?"
"Yes you are."
"Okay good, so I am just going to have filled out this sheet. For the home information sheet you have three you can just fill out one."
"Okay."
She took a seat at one of the waiting room seats. While the kids played with the puzzles and books we had laid out on the tables.
I walked to the back and as I passed Sylvia's office I said "12:20 has arrived."
"Okay, good." She said "I can take them right now."
"Okay I will call them back." I said heading back to the front. When I got there a man had walked in " I will help you in a second," I said to the man "You guys can go back now the doctor is ready to see you." I said to the mother. Her kids were still busy playing.
"Okay." I said taking a seat behind the desk. "How can I help you?"
"I am here to go to lunch with my mother."
"Oh right, I totally forgot." When the room went slight my stomach growled. I held my stomach
"Little Hungry?'' he asked
"Guess so." I said reaching for my granola bar. Just when I grabbed my granola bar the phone rang. I groaned and answered it.
"Doctor Mc'Anton's office, how can I help you?"
"Yeah, hi, this is Jen Miller. My son has a fever and is very droopy and tired he won't sleep for more than 10 minutes before waking up crying and coughing, I was wondering when she could get me in." the women panted. Must be her first child.
I got up and knocked on the door "Sylvia, a woman named Jen Miller is on the phone her son has a fever and she would like to know what time she can come in."
"He only has a fever?" she asked.
"No she mentioned a lot of other things to and she sounds on the verge of crying."
"Okay, okay, well tell her to come in at 12:50. I should be done with these guys and oh can you call my son and tell him I can't meet him."
"He is here." I said
"Oh," she said "can you give me a minute." She said to the mother of the patients
The mother nodded as we headed out of the room.
"Justin." She said when she saw him
"Hi mom." He said
"Honey, listen I have an emergency call so I won't be able to make lunch," she paused then looked at me "but if you want you can take Robyn."
"No," I protested "I am not even hungry."
"That's a lie." Justin said "You just said you were."
"Perfect." Sylvia said walking away.
I picked up the phone and said to the women "You can come around 12:45. Okay."
"Okay." She said.
"Bye." I said and hung up. I looked up he was waiting for me. "Hold on a sec." I said putting my granola bar back in my purse. I picked up my purse and grabbed my sweater. And then I headed out the door. I turned to go toward my car when he grabbed my arm and pulled me the other way.
"My car is this way." He said
"We are going to take the same car?" I asked
"Well, I just thought it would be easier." He said
"Oh okay."
He led me over to a beaten up, rusted blue Toyota. He opens up the passenger door and I hopped in while saying "Thank you."
"Welcome.'' He said going around the car to the other side and getting in. He started the car and we started talking, we agreed to go to a small café that was only a few minutes away.
