“I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. I’m going.” Lacy was about to get up but Abbilynn made her sat back down.
“Look. I am your mother, and I want an explanation. Now.” Abbilynn wasn’t playing around with Lacy.
“I didn’t do nothing. “Lacy lies. She didn’t want to talk about what she did or what she has been doing.
“I thought you were dating Ronnie, but come to find out, it was a lie. I know it is. I know you been doing both brothers.”
“Mom…” Lacy looks down.
“I am starting to wonder if Steven never raped you, because you sure are having a good ole time having sex with Robert and Ronnie. What did you do? Pretended to be raped to not get into trouble? Did you really wanted to have sex with Steven too?” Abbilynn asked in a mean tone to Lacy. She started to cry. Lacy had tears just pouring down her face.
“You don’t believe me?” Lacy asks. She couldn’t believe it. Her mother didn’t believe her when she told the truth about Steven.
“Lacy, I am starting to not believe you. You lied to me about Ronnie, and you just lied to me now saying you don’t know what I am talking about.” Abbilynn replies. “You started wearing these revealing clothes too. Look at what you’re wearing. A short mini skirt, bend over and everyone can see your underwear! Not counting those long stocking! Why are you even dressing like this?”
“Maybe I like this style of clothes, did you ever think of that?!” Lacy got rude back with her mom and dried her tears. “I didn’t want to sleep with that Steven guy! I am not lying! I hate him!” Lacy yells. “I also have something else to tell you.”
“What?” Abbilynn asks her.
“I love Robert and Ronnie. And yes, I did do them both.” Lacy admits glaring at her mom.
“You admit to that now? You do realize you can’t possibly love them both right? How can you say you love Robert when you’re screwing Ronnie? Huh? You obviously don’t love Robert if you’re cheating on him with Ronnie. And you sure in the hell don’t love Ronnie if you’re having sex with Robert. Don’t you get it? You’re just whoring it around and in your imagination, you’re telling yourself that you’re in love with them both just to not feel guilty.”
“I am not!” Lacy snaps back at her mom. “I tried to date that Craig guy! I did! When I tried to all I could think of was Robert and Ronnie. I couldn’t stop it!”
“I don’t care what you think. You are not in love with both them boys. And I don’t think you should be staying here anymore with them.”
“What?” Lacy was confused when her mother said that. Abbilynn then left the attic. “What did she mean? Does she have enough money to move out? I don’t understand?” Lacy was confused. Abbilynn went to the living room. Brice and Bryan were watching cartoons on the sofa.
“Brice, I need to talk to you.” Abbilynn said. “It’s important.”
“Important?” Brice gets up and left the living room with Abbilynn and went into the kitchen.
“What did you wanted to speak to me about?”
“About my daughter and your sons.”
“All my sons?” Brice asks.
“Not the littlest. I am talking about the other two. Robert and Ronnie.”
“What about them?” Brice asks. “And what about your daughter?” Brice didn’t understand what was going on.
“Here’s something that you didn’t know, right under our noses, Lacy has been having sex with both your sons.”
“What? Are you sure?” Brice asked. He couldn’t believe it. “I thought she was Ronnie’s girlfriend?”
“She wanted us to think that. She’s not. She thinks she’s in love with both of them and has been sleeping with them both when were not around.”
“What?!” Brice was angry.
“I am so mad too. I can’t believe Lacy would do something like this.”
“I am so pissed that my sons would do something like this too!” Brice wanted to have a talk with his sons.
“I called earlier. I managed to get a hold of Lacy’s grandparents. They’re Rick’s parents. They were talking to me and told me about Rick.”
“You got information about him?” Brice asks.
“Yes. Apparently, he’s with some other woman he has another kid with.” Abbilynn tells Brice.
“They’re not too happy with them either. But they spoke to him about taking… Taking Lacy.”
“What?! Are you sure?!” Brice asks.
“I have no choice. Rick told his parents to tell me that he’ll take Lacy in. Lacy misses her father anyways. I think it’s best. If you don’t mind James and I staying here till we can get a place?”
“I don’t mind, but are you sure about Lacy?” Brice asks.
“I am sure. I can’t handle it. I can’t raise her right. I failed raising her. Maybe Rick can do better with her. I hope she will like Rick’s girlfriend.”
“I can’t believe that. This is insane. How old is the kid that Rick has with another woman?” Brice asked.
“I…I don’t know. His parents never told me.” Abbilynn replies. “I am going to tell Lacy to pack her things.” Abbilynn left the kitchen. She made it to the attic and seen Lacy sitting on her bed.
“What? You came to yell at me some more?!” Lacy glares at her mother.
“No. I haven’t. I came to tell you that I am no longer going to be the one in charge of you.”
“What do you mean?” Lacy asks confused.
“Pack your bags, Lacy. You’re moving in with your father.”
“My dad?” Lacy couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “I thought you didn’t know where my dad was? I am confused. What?”
“I managed to get a hold of your grandparents. Your dad’s parents. They got a hold of Rick for me.”
“Why didn’t you do it sooner?” Lacy asks.
“Lacy, I wanted to. But I couldn’t, I was afraid. Afraid of finding out that Rick was still with the woman that he left me for. And he is.” Lacy just stares. “But I asked his grandparents to ask him if he’ll take you in they asked him. He said he will. So go on. Pack. I know you miss your father anyways.” Abbilynn left the room. Lacy couldn’t believe it.
“Daddy? He’s going to take me in… My mom doesn’t want me no more?” Lacy wondered. She had to tell Robert and Ronnie about it. She left the attic to go looking for them. She found them in their bedroom. Ronnie was looking at a magazine. Robert was looking at a book. “Robert, Ronnie.” Lacy said as she opened the door.
“What?” Ronnie asks staring at her. Robert stares at Lacy.
“I am leaving. I am going to live with my father. My mom managed to get a hold of him, and he said he would take me.” Lacy says.
“What?” Robert didn’t like the news. Lacy moving out.
“What about your mom and brother?” Ronnie asks.
“I don’t know. My dad is still with the woman that he left my mother for. My dad agreed to take me in, I guess my mom and James will stay here.” Lacy explains.
“That’s crazy! Why did your mom do that shit?!” Robert threw his book and went over to Lacy. Ronnie sits his magazine down and went by Lacy as well.
“She found out. She found out about all of us. And she wants to separate us.” Lacy tells them.
“What?! Why?” Robert asks.
“She doesn’t think that I love you, Robert. She thinks I don’t love you, Ronnie. She thinks I am using it as an excuse to not feel bad for sleeping with you both. Kidding myself that I am in love with you both. She even… She even…” Lacy started to cry. “She even thinks that I just… I…”
“What is it?” Ronnie asks Lacy feeling angry.
“She thinks I… I didn’t get… r-r…ra…”
“Raped?” Robert guessed. Lacy nods.
“She thinks I… I just pretended to be so that I wouldn’t get into trouble… and that… I really wanted to have sex with him!” Lacy cries more and hugs Robert.
“This is crazy! Lacy was raped! She didn’t want Steven!” Ronnie felt like he wanted to tell off Lacy’s mother.
“We know the truth.” Robert tells Lacy.
“But my mother doesn’t! She thinks I am a liar!” Lacy cries. She lets go of Robert and starts crying on Ronnie. “She thinks that my clothing style is too revealing too!” Lacy didn’t know what to do. All she felt like doing was crying.
“I can’t believe it.” Robert went to look for Lacy’s mother. He found her in the attic packing some of Lacy’s things. “Abbilynn, I need to talk to you.”
“You can’t change my mind. Lacy is going to live with her father. I can’t even raise her right.” Abbilynn says as she was putting more of Lacy’s clothes into a suitcase.
“No. Hear me out. Lacy was raped by Steven. I walked in the house and heard her crying. I heard it. She wanted him off of her.” Robert tries to explain to Abbilynn.
“Even if that’s true, that doesn’t change the fact of what she was doing with you and Ronnie. Aren’t you upset about it?”
“A little, but… I love Lacy so much.” Robert couldn’t hold it back. He just said it. “I don’t want to lose her.”
“If you really love her, why would you let your brother touch her? Do you even know what love really is?” Abbilynn asks him.
“No. I don’t, but… I care for Lacy. Every day, I think of her. I got upset knowing she was with someone else. When she was dating Craig and Ronnie. It hurt me, but… I can’t be mad at my brother because he loves her too.”
“You both can’t be with her, and she can’t be with the both of you. Don’t you all understand that?” Abbilynn asks.
“I know that.” Robert responds. He wasn’t sure what else to say to Abbilynn. He didn’t want Lacy to leave, but he couldn’t stop Abbilynn’s decision.
