E16: Jennifer Walker

Six Years Ago

RUTH WALKER:

"Honey, I'm sorry. I wanted to be there for you when you were growing up but I just couldn't! But now I wanna come back and patch those things up with you all!"

Mom said cupping my hands with hers.

I took back my hand right away. I don't want any relationship with this woman in my life anymore.

She has made our lives hell!

My elder brother Rhys got into smuggling because of her. My dad can no longer walk the streets of LA with his heads up because of her and me..?!

I don't remember the last time I acted like a teenager and not the woman of this house who takes care of every house job because her mother was busy drugging, drinking and sleeping with strangers.

"Jacob, I really want to come back!" She looked at my dad for support now.

"No you don't!" Noah suddenly got up very irritated. "You just want to come back because now you can no longer take money from all those people and enjoy getting loaded anymore!"

"NOAH?!"

Dad screamed at Noah and he flinched back a little, only to come back stronger.

"It's all her fault dad! My friends call me a slut's kid! She was never with me on my soccer practice, she never made me lunches, she never took me to school, she never attended any of my PTA's. Rhys and Ruth did all those things for me!"

Noah held my hand standing by me and Rhys feeling stronger.

"She is your mother Noah. Jennifer is the mother to all of you, Rhys, Ruth, Noah! We are all a family!"

"Well, I don't give a shit if she comes back or stays away! I can't imagine you being such a pussy dad!" Rhys said

He was high as shit on weeds in his 21 years of age at this moment now.

"Blah, she never even did those parental stuffs for me either and this is how I came off!" Rhys said pointing at himself.

He has the self realisation that he is fucking his life doing weeds all day long but he blames everything on the fact that mom was never there for us and does it anyway.

"I DON'T CARE! Even if she comes back, she would never be my mother! I would never consider her as my mother!"

Noah hugged my waist closely and said it back to her even more strongly,

"Ruth is my mother, not you, Jennifer Walker!"

"NOAH, STOP THAT!!"

Dad yelled again but Noah just replied with quick walk back to his room and a loud bang on the door.

Rhys got a text from somewhere and got up shoving his cellphone inside his pocket.

"Consider me out of this discussion too!"

"Rhys, where are you going now?" Mom asked him trying to be the mother she was not.

He shot her an eyebrow and snatched back his wrist that mom just held trying to make him stop.

"Oh you care, Mrs. Walker? Guess what? You're 21 years, 4 months and 17 days late to do that!"

He said and walked away lighting himself a cigerette.

"Ruth?" Dad turned to me now and looked at me with hopes.

"I don't know dad..." I looked at my mom who had tears in her eyes. I have seen them a lot now to make out if they were the fake or the real ones.

"...I don't really trust you!" I said it to mom.

"I would do everything it takes to be the good mother that you deserve honey!" Mom said trying to reassure me!

I looked at my dad.

Mr. Jacob Walker, the Dean of Loren's High, the man with pride. The only problem in his character was having a wife like Jennifer Walker. But then too this man was head over heels with her.

I envy my mother to have such a nice husband, who is ready to forgive her and try again for the seventeenth time now.

"If bringing her back to all our lives again is all you want. Fine, do it then! But you should know this that I'll never forgive you Mom!"

Mom gave me a broken smile, like she was hurt. But I really doubt if that's gonna be for long enough now.

My cellphone jingled with a text from Alan and I checked it open and smiled at the message.

'Today is one of those days when I miss you terribly and want to talk to you desperately! Come see me at Lakeview, I've got news!'

"I gotta go"

I said getting up scooping my bag.

"Wait, where are you going? I thought we were doing things together?" Mom said suddenly.

"Don't try to be my mom..."

I swayed my gaze at my father and he begged me with his eyes to make it stop. So I did, I can't hurt my father anyways. He has done a lot of taking care of me and Rhys all his life when mom was busy smoking weeds and having sex!

".....MOM!"

I finished my sentence with a little peace and got out of the house.

I know Noah would be hell bend angry when he'll realise what was the outcome of the talk we had. The woman who never considered us as her children was suddenly back into our lives as our mother.

This is going to be really frustrating.

~~~

"So my mom climbed her way back into my life again for the seventeenth time now!"

I said smoking the cigerette which Alan just passed around to me, staring out of the fencing made at the Lakeview, in order to enjoy the scenery of a lake surrounded by all these mountains.

"That dirty whore!"

He cursed and I shot him a glare.

"...uhh, I mean your mom!" He corrected his sentence and I scoffed.

"It's not like I can even deny calling her that!" I took a long sip of our cigerette and blew it over into the valley.

"She IS a whore!"

"Yea, but you should be a bit respectful towards her, you're into this world because of her!" He said.

"Like she did me wonders to give birth to me. My life sucks!" I said hatefully flicking the used cigerette aiming at the lake water we were both gazing at.

"Why would you say that?"

He said scooping up my bag.

That's what he does, doesn't bring his bag to school and carries mine around.

I know he is a little crack-head, but...

I love this crack-head!

"Nothing good about my life. I have a mother who is more like dead to me. My father works his ass off trying to fix the money debts my mom pushed us all into. An elder brother who's friends would come at home only to stare at my legs and a seven year old brother turned into my kid at the age 19, so young! Seems like a dead deal to me!"

"You've still got me!" He swayed his head at me and shot me with a cute smile, the usuals.

"And I can't love you more!" I said as we kissed walking on the streets just like that hand in hand.

I got back home early and found the door unlocked. I switched on the lights looking around the house.

Strange, if somebody was inside the house, why were the main lights off?

"Noah?"

"Dad?!"

I called around but got no reply.

"Rhys? Are you there?"

I open the door to Rhys's room and didn't find him in either.

"Where is everyone?" I talked to myself and went back to the kitchen, only to find a sticky note from Noah on refrigerator door.

'Dad suggested a movie night with him and Jennifer, aiming to patch up things, like that would help!

If I am dead, tell the cops it was Jennifer who killed me!'

I read the note and the little cartoon of mom, that he drew with horns and fangs and puffed out hard.

"Hmm, so it's gonna be a dinner for two tonight!"

Talking to myself I started fishing out, looking for some pasta which could be cooked for me and Rhys and suddenly I felt a tight spank on my ass.

I turned around immediately as I was home alone right now, fear engulfing me and soon my eyes grew big as soon as I saw Ricco Morgan.

"Look who I ran into?" He smirked

"R-Ricco?" I started moving backwards as he kept creeping closer. I was soon pushed against the kitchen station with him hovering all over me.

"I've always heard about your mother being a slut at school but never knew that you would be Jennifer Walker's daughter!"

He said, wiping his thumb across my lower lip.

"Rhys would kill you if he knew you touched me!" I glared at him.

"You mean your money-less beggar brother?" He asked.

Rhys and Rico were both classmates. Rico was rich and Rhys was new to drugs. They made good company until Rico tried to lay his hands on me and Rhys broke his bones, sending him to hospital and far away from all our lives.

Rico didn't do anything to Rhys as a payback because Rhys didn't owe him anything. But now, we do.

All thanks to my mother, Jennifer Walker.

"Your mother owes us 70 million dollars. And I am here for the payback!" He said.

His knuckles slowly went down my bare arms as I hugged onto myself tightly.

"I don't have the money on me!"

"Neither does your mother!" He shrugged, "Anyway you guys are her family so the debt becomes all of yours too right?"

"What do you want?!"

"Let's come to a conclusion what say? You don't have to pay me back with the money. Just sleep with me tonight and I'll pay the money to my father from my own wallet?"

He swung away the locks falling around my ears and whispered into my ears, "After all, that's just how much your virginity should cost?"

My eyes grew big and I pushed him off of me but he grabbed onto both my wrists tighter.

"Don't be an ungrateful bitch!! What are you holding onto your pride for?! Your mother slept with my father, she slept with me too, why can't you bitch?! The sluttery runs around in your bloodline, doesn't it?!"

"No! LEAVE ME?!!" I screamed and slapped him tight across his face.

That slap was enough to get him enraged, to the point that he grabbed fistful of my hairs and started to drag me alongwith himself to Rhys's room and shoved me inside my bed.

"N-no!" He shut the door closed taking out a pair of condoms from his pocket.

"You never know when you get laid right?"

He smirked from the corner of his lips as I started to get up thrashing outside of the room but he held me back from my waist and shoved me back on the bed, getting at the top of me, using both his hands to rip off my dress off of my body.

"Please, no! HELP?!!!" I screamed and he shoved his fist over my mouth.

"Shut the fuck up bitch! The daughter of slut is also a slut! And this is what a slut should do!"

He started grabbing onto my boobs tightly from over my bra as I tried hard thrashing my hands and legs around.

With all the commotion going on in here I never realised but someone just entered the house.

I hope that it's Rhys.

Taking a chance when he got busy with unzipping himself I bit his palm hard pressing against my mouth and as soon as he pulled back his hand in pain I started screaming for help.

"HELLLPP!!!"

He quickly got a hold of me and slapped my cheek hard and pulled ripping my bra off of me.

But before he could do anymore, the door to my room swung open and my brother was there at the door standing for my rescue.

"YOU DID NOT JUST TOUCH HER!"

Rhys glared at Rico as I took up the chance backing away and covering myself with the sheets.

Rico got down from the bed and spit the blood on his lips which he got in the middle of the part where him and I were struggling.

"Seventy Million dollars. That's what your mother owes us. Either you pay it in green or I'll just rape your sister! You know I've always like her tiny little ass and swollen lips!"

As soon as he completed that sentence Rhys punched his face hard.

"SHE IS MY FUCKING SISTER YOU BASTARD!"

Rhys pulled him outside of the room and they kept fighting, hitting each-other, swearing at each-other while I remained inside the room shaking inside my blanket crying, not knowing what to do next.

I could hear the swearing and punching, smashing of furnitures and other stuff. It was a mess out there.

Finally after sometime I collected my senses and called the police.

That was the stupidest thing to do as they would even arrest my brother, but I just want everything to stop.

....

"Callin 911, what's the emergency!"

"There's a man who broke into my house and tried to rape me. My brother walked in time and that man is hurting him. Please send some help, PLEASE!"

.....

I don't know what happens next. All I know is that the Morgan's are not the only people my mother has taken money from.

And living with my mother, was not safe for either of us.
