SING FOR ME

Chapter 4:consequences

Mildred's POV

Someone forcefully opened my bedroom curtains, and the sunlight quickly entered through  them,welcoming my eyes to hell by how bright  the sun was.

"What the fuck?!!",i screeched closing my face with a pillow.

"I would ask you the same",my father said in his deep voice,shit what did I do this time I thought to myself.

"Now can  you get the fuck up and let's talk,since you want to act all high and mighty",he said seating on my couch,even though my eyes  were closed,the sound the couch made,was a result of him seating down.

I removed the pillow from my eyes then sat up quickly,the moment I sat up he threw  five papers at me,"read the fucken papers out loud Mildred,front page,five of them and tell me I did not raise a fucken racist in this house", he said loosening his tie,my dad never cursed unless he was really mad and right now it was something else.

Sunday times
Mildred jonas has decided to show the world who she really is by slapping a poor waiter countless times because he was black and had kissed her best friend,the girl who people call America's sweetheart could just get the title taken away from her because not only did she slap the guy she also said a lot of vile things about the race which we will not write in this article because it is a lot to take in for a lot of young ones out there.....and  reading such content,will just bring forth a lot of damage.

I spread all the papers and saw I was the morning headline in each and every one of them,my phone then started buzzing,I opened it and the moment I went on Instagram my heart froze,2million messages,lost 4,6million from 20million followers and the comments,memes and videos weren't good news either.

She is a bully,she should be canceled,she should go somewhere else and die,she doesn't deserve all the love people give here,rich brat I hope you burn in hell,she is so fake,racist bitch,I wanna hang her and eat my soup while Ravens feed on her eyes and tounge....people could be so heartless I thought to myself as tears clouded my vision.

Ben had been calling me all along  but I decided to ignore his calls,I didn't want to answer him because the least i wanted was for him to see me in my weakest state again,so I switched off my phone,just to be alarmed by my dads' voice whome I had forgotten was still in my room.

"Ooooh so she cries too",sarcasm.....,dad said in a very low angry voice.

"Heartless people don't cry jonas,you cry today because what you do to other innocent people has been put to light,just think of  how they felt all these years"....."and the cook?",he asked.

"Dad I".....,I tried to say something but he cut me off,"yeah that's what I thought",he said shaking his head.

"I'm sorry for the social media bullying you have witnessed today,but I don't wanna hear it,we are going to hold a small press conference in front of our residents because the paparazzi and the people are vicious out  there,so Solange is writing something for you,you are going to memorize it and say it in front  of everyone,say it with emotion please,cause its the least you can do right now, i also won't be going on your  tour with you, so it's only your mother you are  taking,gut to stay behind and fix you mess,excuse me",he said standing up straightening his suit and walking out.

**********************
After 3hours of balling my eyes out in bed,memorizing the speech Solange wrote for me and also preparing myself to board a plane I was in front in front of everyone else in our residential area,even though they were a lot of body guards I felt insecure from the world's judgmental  stares and priming eyes.

"Good afternoon people I stand in front of you with great remorse for what I did yesterday,I know alcohol is not going to be an excuse for my actions but I was super drunk and me attacking lebron physically and verbally was not right and I'm sorry,I'm sorry to Lebrone,his family which I cursed,and to my best friend Maya for shaming her relationship".

"Black people work twice  as hard to get what they have,so looking down on them is not right I"....tears I didn't have to forget about the tears,so thinking about all the hurtful things people were saying on my platform a tear quickly slipped out then I started shaking to add a little effect wiping away my tears.

"I am so sorry if I have ever caused anyone pain unknowingly and I regret my actions,I will work hard in trying to be a better person",I said inbetween cries.

My mother came up stage and said alright that will be enough for today...."thank you all",she pulled me off stage that's when the paparazzi started pouring questions and my father was answering them for me as well as trying to calm the crowd down.

The instant we entered dad's office I stopped sobbing."Mildred where those emotions even real out there?", my mother asked pouring herself a scotch from my dad's liquor corner then adding ice.

"Mom the paper  solange wrote said I should at least show some emotions for everyone to believe what I was saying,so who wouldn't believe a women who looks vulnerable while crying",I said moving my shoulders up and down for emphasis.

"That's my baby",she said before drinking the scotch in one go,"now everything is prepared for us to go,don't worry the maids packed up everything you had ordered,we will be using gate number 4 because im sure paparazzi won't do us any favors if we use the main gate or the second one",she said holding the doors' handle.

"What about dad,are we not saying farewell to him first mama?", I asked confused.

"Well your father is going to stay behind cleaning up the mess you made,he is a man of high profile you know, so the mess you made won't do him good both in business and in politics,now get ready we are living this place in five",my mother said walking out of dad's office.

So this was it,living just like that,no family farewell party as we  had planned,no friend of mine will be there to say goodbye to me  as I go,Maya,Melissa,Ben.... no one at all,what an unexpected turn of events.

I switched on my phone while looking out the window from my father's library to see Ben trying by all means to walk past the paparazzi denying  any questions they asked perhaps in a nice way,poor Ben,he's always been the good guy among us I thought wiping away a real tear this time.

"Mildred the car is ready my!", mother said from the lounge which resulted in me walking out of my dad's office.

Walking out I heard the door being opened and I immediately knew it was Ben so I continued walking,I couldn't afford to look in his eyes and be weak again,so I  ignored him  even though he had kept calling and running after me till I walked out the door.

Getting into the car I signaled the driver to move the car,then my phone started buzzing,I looked on the screen and saw Ben was calling so I texted him a see you after six months then switched off my phone.

Wiping a tear that had slipped my mother asked me..."do you love him?",looking  out the window I replied...."no he is in love with someone else and I don't want to confuse  him anymore".
