better or worse and you will show her some respect!” Cassidy finished. She was standing squarely in front of Savannah now nose to nose. “Don’t you talk to me like that! I will knock you into the middle of next week!” Savannah said to her. “Then I will kick your ass on Thursday!” Cassidy said. “Cassidy! Stop!” Grace said to her daughter. She wanted to say more to Savannah but knew that she needed to accept a few things before they talked. “I do not care what anyone says.” Savannah said turning away from Cassidy and walking to stand next to Sarah placing her arm around her. “THIS is my mother and she always will be.” Savannah said laying her head on Sarah’s shoulder. “Huh! Well lucky you Savannah! Once again it’s all about you!” Shelby said rolling her eyes at her sister. “What I found out today is that my father cannot keep it in his pants or show our mother the respect of doing it protected. My mother has punished me all these years because my father loved my biological mother and not her. My brother found out that his mother is dead and our father did not even have the consideration for her to remember her name or that fact that she had died!” Shelby yelled at her sister. “Let not forget that Savannah is my sister!” Cassidy said “I think I am gonna be sick” she finished. “Cassidy! It is time for us to leave.” Grace said to her daughter standing up. “Savannah, I hope that one day you will make peace with this and we can have a talk.” Grace said solemnly. “Oh Momma! I feel all warm a fuzzy” Savannah said rolling her eyes turning toward the window. “That might be the herpes you really should get that checked out.” Cassidy said sarcastically. Grabbing her head Grace turned and walked toward the door. “Jackson I will speak to you later” she said as they left the room. “I am sure she will” Sarah mumbled. “I have to get out of here” Greyson finally said as he started to leave. “Greyson you will not leave this house young man!” Jackson said. We are a family and we will deal with this as such!” he finished. Stopping Greyson in his tracks. “No daddy! This, this is a fucking farce!” he said as he walked out of the door. “Daddy, you used to be hero. I thought you could do no wrong. Now I can barely stand to look at you.” Shelby said picking up her purse that she had placed on the table. Then taking off the signet pinky ring that every Beasley had and always wore, and placing it on the table. “I am no longer a Beasley, I don’t know who I am. She said as she looked at her mother in sadness. “Shelby! Shelby!” her parents called as she walked out.
CHAPTER 9
“Wow and I thought poor people were the only people that did stuff like this” Lance said as he sat back on Shelby’s couch. He had come right over when she had called him hysterical, to tell him what she had just learned. “I mean really this is some hillbilly shit!” he said. “So who is your mother?” “I do not know. I could not stand there and listen to all of that. My family are not the people that I thought they were” Shelby said taking another sip of her glass of wine. “Shel, I hate to tell you but your family was always this flawed you just kept your head down and tried to make it. I mean granted I feel like you just told me about a cross over episode of Maury and Jerry Springer!” Lance said laughing. Lance had come right over after Shelby had called so he was still in his gym shorts and a front zip hoodie. If she did not love his damn brother so much she would be all over him. Lance had always been a sexy man to her. But now she cherished him more than anyone else in her life except Cassidy. “It’s not funny Lance. Do you realize that Cassidy and Savannah are SISTERS?” Shelby said laughing a little. “You know I just realized that with you saying it!” Lance said and they both laughed hysterically “Can’t you just see that family
