Eleven

"You are lying to me! you cannot be telling me it's the same man" Helena screamed as we were both sitting in my bedroom trying to wrap our brains around what I had witnesses last night, I was going to tell her last night but she was on an all-time high from hanging with Zack I didn't want to destroy it by telling her.

"I am telling you, your dad is Vincent's Dad! he literally had a birthday yesterday, he is a constructions Manager who is bossy and literally who we saw Vincent as when we first saw him on telly" I said as she was still in so much shock, I didn't know whether she would cry or throw something or scream, I was just waiting for any other reaction and not just shocked, but then again what kind of reaction do you get from that kind of information.

"So, when he was coming to the hospital and saying that he had someone in there that he was going to see or knew was there, he knew you were there?" I added as we looked at each other "but he didn't know me, he doesn't know my face, maybe he knows something but not all of it, like he has a hunch and he went with it but has been side tracked by a little someone" Helena wiggled her eyebrows at me as I rolled my eyes "no let's stay focused, we have to confront your mum" I said as we heard shouting coming from downstairs and then a bang of the door.

We rushed downstairs and there stood Vincent, his dad and our two mums, Helena's mum's face looked so angry and flustered as my mum was trying to close the door on Patricia's ex-husband and there was us standing on the stairs in a daze, it felt like there was silence but my mum was shouting at the ex-husband and Vincent looked like he was trying to get in the house as well.

All of a sudden Helena screamed so loud, I think I got a permanent ear problem now because the ringing coming from my ear was painful "everyone just stop, let the two men in, this little secret ends now" she said as everyone snapped to her ''I think I deserve to know if a famous person is actually related to me" She added as Vincent spoke up in agreement and the two men were let in the house and we all migrated to the living room.

"explain both of you, and none of this we were looking out for you bs" Helena snapped at her father and mother who were now sitting next to each other looking up at her as she stood in front of them "Vincent and I deserve answers, we are all adults here" Helena added as I sat there on another chair just listening in to the absolute mess that was about to unfold.

"I knew there was something going on, I mean you had letters from the Hospice she was in lying on your desk and coming through the mail but I just thought it was your stuff but look at this" Vincent said as he now also stood in front of his dad and now his step mum "Why did you not want us to mingle and meet?" Vincent asked as his dad hung his head low and both parents started explaining their reasons why they kept it a secret.

"What I don't understand is why did you think this was a good idea? why couldn't I know that I had family, I was just brought up to believe that dad didn't want me? why because you couldn't get over the fact he was with someone else" Helena asked her mum as we had found out that Helena's Dad did try and get in contact with her and her mum but Patricia didn't want anything to do with him and that she said that Helena didn't remember who he was anymore and all this nonsense which caused Helena's blood to boil ,it was a sight to watch.

"And all the times you had extra money to lend so we could go on those fancy holidays like Hawaii, those were from dad because he wasn't able to see me?" Helena asked as her mum nodded slowly and Helen chuckled "you were so focused on me not dying your forgot that I might have wanted a dad to talk to too, was two parents not what I want then? and Dad, money doesn't buy me all those years that you just left me to live, you could have told Vincent and we could have had this conversation so much sooner instead of me finding out from my best friend" She looked over at her dad who nodded and apologised for his wrong doing.

''I am not and will never be over this, but I want you out my house seen as you didn't want to see me in the first place, yes I am dying and no I don't want you to ever come back again, I got my closure and I don't need your help anymore" Helena spoke to her dad with such aggression and with that he did what she said, he walked to the door, but not before telling Vincent to find his own way home because he needed time to cool off and think before he travelled home.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Some time had passed and Helena was still locked away in her room and to be honest it was the same with Patricia, they both were in a mood with each other, and I would understand why Helena wouldn't be the best pleased with what she had just had to go through, but her mum? what could you be annoyed about? what that your secret got leaked? that you weren't prepared for it to ever come to light? Pathetic. Especially you had to bring all this drama into my house.

A month trapped up in your room can do wonders to your social skills and as for Helena, well they became non-existent, she didn't even speak to me, I went in dropped off food, water and anything else then left, no communication was really needed, Zack had been the only one to physically talk to her, he is the only one allowed to stay long periods of time in her room, and has even stayed over nights just to make sure she doesn't cause any harm to herself. It's so cute but so sad at the same time.

As for Vincent, well I haven't heard from him since the whole falling out, though I have seen on TV and on his socials that he isn't doing too good, he is wasting a lot of days drinking and buried in his room with the smallest amount of sunlight, I can't imagine how his mum feels seeing him in such state, especially seen as I know she is the glue of that family.

latest on the TV was he got a warning for drunk driving and got caught with substances but his mum bailed him out, and you know when I heard this I had to reach out to him, I wasn't letting someone that was clearly screaming for help be left on his own, especially after my dad and brother, I won't let that happen.

Delilah - Hi Vincent! I was wondering if you wanted to hangout like now or later? I am on my own and could really use some of your wisdom?

Vinnie - not in the inspirational mood Lilah

Delilah - maybe some fresh air can help?

Vinnie - I don't want to

Delilah - I want to help you, even if it's just listening

Vinnie - Can I got back to being an egotistical narcissist?

Delilah - VINNIE! wake up! I am not letting you burry yourself in sadness, meet me at the carpark in 20 please, I'll be there whether you arrive or not.
