PIZZA GIRL
ISAAC
I stood at the front of the door thinking about everything. I mean, who else knows about this and would have told Diana while I was gone.
Who could have done this to me. Who else did Danielle tell?
“Oh No! Enoch. He finally found his way to her heart.” I thought angrily storming out of the house heading back to Danielle’s house.
I ran to her house thinking of how to deal with Enoch. He is the only one that can do something like that. Mom was with me at the shop, and Mrs Caroline can’t even tell her because she doesn’t want her daughter to hate her.
It’s only Enoch.
I got to her gate and pressed the bell impatiently waiting for someone to open up. I kept pressing it until the gate opened.
I saw Enoch and the first thing I did was punch him very hard on the face.
“Why did you tell her?” I roared hitting him again.
“She deserved to know the truth.” He said gaining his balance and throwing me another punch making me bleed.
“And who told you I wouldn’t let her know the truth?” I asked walking closer to him.
“Because you didn’t show any attempt to tell her the truth. Why are you so upset anyways? That she realized you aren’t trustworthy afterall?” He asked and I got more angry.
I wanted to punch him again but Danielle stopped us.
“Stop it both of you!” She yelled rushing to us.
“Isaac are you okay? Enoch what’s going on?” She asked and we both stared at each other panting hard.
“Why not ask your son.” I said angrily.
“Enoch what did you do this time?” She asked looking at me.
“Why would you ask me that? He was the first to attack me. Must you always take his side?? I am your son!.” He said and she sighed.
“Enoch.” She called.
“Sometimes I feel you aren’t my mother.” He said running into the house. She bowed her head and looked at me.
“Isaac what happened?” She asked.
“He went to tell Diana about you and Caroline fight behind my back. Now she hates her mother more, and hates me for not telling her the truth when she asked me about it.” I said feeling hurt.
“Oh God. I knew Enoch asking me about it wasn’t just for him to know. I knew he was up to something.” She said.
“Please try teaching your son some morals.” I said walking to the gate.
“Isaac wait. You are bleeding. Let me help you clean it off.” She said and I shook my head.
“I am fine Danielle. You should go talk to your son.” I said and she shook her head.
“This is the least I can do for you, after what I son did. I will help you talk to Diana. But for now, please let’s get you cleaned up.” She said holding me and leading me to the living room.
“I don’t know what to say to Diana. She is really angry with me.” I said sadly and she sighed.
“I will talk to her. I promise.”
“Your cloth is stained with blood. Get rid of it, so I can wash it in the machine.” She said and I reached for my shirt and removed it.
She stood up to pick up the first aid box and before she was back, my shirt was off.
She took it to the so called machine and switched it on. She came back and picked up a wool, poured out some liquid on it and moved it to my burst lips.
She placed it on it slowly and I winced at the pain it produced. She did it again and I shut my eyes trying to endure the pain.
Before I opened my eyes, I felt her hand move to my collar bone. I opened my eyes and I saw her eyes glued to my birth mark.
“That’s my birth mark.” I said smiling.
“Oh my God. This isn’t possible.” She said as tears heated her eyes.
“Mrs Danielle are you okay?” I asked fearfully and she quickly nodded looking away.
“Yes I am fine. Just got too emotional.” She said standing up and looking away.
“I am done with the wound. Your clothes should be dry now. You should get going. I would talk to Diana tomorrow.” She said turning her back against me.
“Okay.” I said looking at her suspiciously.
