The Love Shared - S01 E38

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 38

Introduction:

Docs journey into the taboo continues

I wasn't sure how long I was sat at the kitchen table with the two officers stood opposite me, it felt like an hour or two at least since I had forced myself to open the door.

I had been hit by a wave of thoughts, all of them seemed more worse than the last. What if was really never going to see Mom again? And what kind of hell was Faye going through right now without me watching her back?

I had wanted to say something but I couldn't, I didn't have the courage to try and excuse myself for the toilet much less to check on my girlfriend.

Mom had come back earlier than planned for obvious reasons, they had called her to find out where she was before then sending a car to pick her up. They told me that my Aunt Layla would be coming back with her. I then started thinking it was because I wouldn't be seeing Mom again for a very long time.

It was Layla that walked into the house first, I got to my feet anticipating Mom but was surprised to see her sister standing before me.

She had changed a lot since I had last seen her, mostly for the better too. Her hair had been cut pretty short and had been dyed with red streaks. She had lost a fair few pounds too, I guessed whatever fat they sucked out of her they had put into her breasts.

I remembered Mom telling me that she was prudish, but that didn't seem to be the case looking at her. She wore a sleeveless hoodie and a pair of sweat pants, it wasn't so much her attire that was noticing at first, it was her arms. They were covered in tattoo's,

She gave me a slight wink as she embraced me, over her shoulder I saw Mom walk in through the door. It was clear that she had been crying, but If they were going to be arresting her why have her come back here first? I slid passed Layla and ran into her arms, her sweet smell swept over me and I somehow knew that everything was going to be okay.

Before I could even bring myself to talk, the cops were leaving, "What's going on?" finally asked. Mom then turned to me and told me the news. Dad had died I didn't know what to say or feel, I was stunned for a few seconds as her words echoed through my ears. She told me that he had been driving home with Ken, Faye's Dad, and they drove off the road and collided with a tree. Dad wasn't wearing a seat belt and went through the wind-shield, while Keri's air-bag had failed causing the collision to kill him too.

"Both of them," Mom told me softly, "Gone"

I turned and tried to leave, I wanted to go over and see if Faye was okay but Mom stopped me.

"There's a doctor with them now, Pamela isn't taking it so well and Faye is said to be almost catatonic with shock." she told me. I didn't want to ask her how she knew this, "And how are you

doing?" I asked her, her eyes dropped to the floor and then she met my gaze, 'I don't know." she answered.

It didn't take Aunt Layla long to find where Mom kept the wine, and after a few glasses she began telling Mom how it was, "He was a cunt anyway Lizzie," she complained, "I don't like the word, but when it comes to him it's the only word I can think of. Simply a cunt," she said.

We were in the lounge now, Mom and Layla were sitting with their feet up at opposite ends of the couch and I was laid out on the floor. Every time my Aunt played with her hair she stuck out her elbow, giving me a peek at some of her side boob.

It would seem that even without a bra her breasts remained firm and perky, and from my various studies into such things, I could all but confirm that she has had them surgically enlarged.

Tattoo's and fake boobs, I wanted to text Zak and let him know that we shared Aunt's.

"Yes, he was difficult, but the man I fell in love with--" Mom tried talking, but her sister didn't seem as though she would allow anyone else to get a word in, -The man you fell in love with died fucking years ago, the only difference now is that you can actually have a funeral." Layla told her.

"I guess you're right," Mom agreed glancing briefly at me.

"Besides," her sister began, "It'll free you up to have some more fun with this mystery man you've been talking about Layla said as she took another mouthful of wine. My Mom's facial reaction was enough to stop bullets. Layła suddenly stopped, it was as though she had revealed a secret and not realised it. She looked over at me and swallowed the mouthful.
