SARAH

“Hello, my name is Claire, and I'm a reporter. I'd like to speak with Miss Brown about the current news regarding her father. I believe the news that's been going around is not true, and I would like a chance to sit with her so I can hear her side of the story.”

“No,” my aunt says.

“Listen to me, I am an independent reporter, and I'm not here under any obligation but my desire to tell the truth. I just want to give Sarah a chance to tell her own side of the story.”

My aunt looks from where she's standing at the door to me, drawing the lady's attention.

“Is she in there? Ma'am, please let me in so I can speak with her.”

Sheila presses her lips together at the look on my face.

This is the last thing I need. Or want.

“Sarah is not here, and don't come back to my house again looking for her because she won't be granting you or anyone an interview in the future.”

She slams the door in the lady's face and turns to face me.

I don't have to say anything for her to know I disapprove.

“Don't start with me, young lady. I did what is best for you, and we will not talk about it,” she says and goes to sit, not caring if the lady is still remaining at the door, still in shock from how she spoke to her.

Something tells me my aunt wants us to talk about it. If not, she wouldn't have given me an explanation. So, I go to sit beside her, not saying anything. It takes a minute for her to break.

Groaning, she throws her hands up in her hair and speaks. “Fine, I shouldn't have cut her off like that, but would you have me do? She's a reporter. She's no different than everyone else running whatever they like about you.”

“She did say she's an independent reporter,” I throw out.

“And so? You want me to bring her in here and tell her the reason you're not saving your father's life is because you're pregnant and that you'd rather the father of the child doesn't know because you think he'll leave you?”

When she puts it like that…

“Aunt Sheila,” I say and sigh.

“Do you want me to call her back in here?” she asks.

“I want a chance to clear my name.”

“Then you better be ready to tell the truth because that lady out there is not Ian. She doesn't care about you, and she will see right through your bullshit within minutes, but be my guest if you still want to talk to her.”

She stands up and walks back into the room, leaving me alone to my thoughts.

I mull over her words. To a very large extent, she's right. The reporter doesn't really care about me. She may say now that she's all about telling the truth, but the moment she gets ahold of it, who knows what she'll do with it?

Besides, am I ready to have my life out there for the whole world to pick apart?

I can't do it.
