Confessions Of An Escort – Episode 41

‘Mer’vis you had your tubes removed immediately you went to UNI, that nonsense about you not wanting to work is a lie because you were blacklisted for stealing company funds and Ezra here is your meal ticket.’

Ezra looks at Mer’vis

‘Is that true?’ he asks

‘Babe listen.’ She begins but he cuts her off

Joan now turns to look at mum and dad.

‘And the icing on the cake.’

‘Joan stop this.’ Mum says

‘No mother dearest I won’t, you want to make me look like the villain; well guess what, I am and I am not even ashamed of it. You want to make me look bad because I am calling out everyone’s dirt? Where were you when I needed you? Growing up you and dad always compared me to Katie? Did you for once ever think of how that would affect me? Did you for once think of the damage it would later do to me? Of the mental torture? Of the constant anxieties I had because I couldn’t measure up to your standards? Have you ever thought of how much I tried to change myself just so I could be like Katie that maybe then you would love me better? Have you ever for once asked yourselves why even after all these years I have wanted to be like Katie? Have you ever wondered why I still want to walk the paths that she does and be just like her? Guess what? As a child the favoritism was there and that was the only way I saw right. Nothing I ever did matched your standards and all I have been doing is to try to be perfect for you.’ She says angry tears falling

‘And when you disowned her at eighteen, did you ever think of the life ahead of her? Did you ever think of what she was going to turn into? With nothing but a pregnancy and an apartment? Did you ever think of what your consequences as parents would do to her? How she has kept her son from all of us when she has family? Have you ever thought of what she constantly tells him each time he asks about his grandparents? About her siblings? We all abandoned her, we did her wrong. We trashed her when she needed us the most, we were bad to her, we unapologetically left her to fend in a world of cruelty alone when she has family that could have protected her no matter the case.’

‘So yes, call me the villain, but guess what; you are, you are, so are all of you. We owe Katie an apology, all of us do because we have been shitty to her! Yes she has her errors but who are we to judge her?’

By this time all the tears that were falling have dried, surprisingly I don’t have any myself. Not even her calling out everyone has moved me to a point of tears.

‘George, I am sorry I wasn’t the ideal wife. I am sorry instead of coming home to a loving wife and home cooked food you returned to anger and take away packs, I am sorry I wasn’t everything you ever wanted me to be. I am sorry I can never be the woman that will rock your world, you think I didn’t try? That I didn’t try to put

in a little effort just so we could work? Honestly I tried, I did and I am sorry that we have to end like this. That I wasted all these good years by being a pathetic wife but the heart wants what it wants George, and both you and I can agree that we are not each other’s ideal partners. I never let go of the idea of being with Ezra for the simple fact that he was in Katie’s life neither have you let go of her, I know you still love her. I know you do.’

She pauses, no one is saying anything.

‘I should have been a better sister and friend, I am sorry Katie. Honestly I am.’

‘It’s nine, are we doing the surgery or not?’ I ask ignoring everything else she has said

We all look at Ezra because we know the ball is in his hands.

‘I am not donating my blood to her.’ He says looking straight at Jo

‘Ezra.’

He shakes his head

‘That girl is not mine, she is your daughter. Against my will you had her.’

‘Ezra.’

This time its Francis who speaks up

Ezra shakes his head vigorously

‘No, that is not how life works. You don’t just do things to your own benefit and expect it to work for your good, it doesn’t work like that. Against my will you got my sperm, that child is two and you could have told me the truth but you didn’t see the need for me to know and now that her life is hanging on a thread you want me to donate my blood?’

‘Ezra don’t do this.’ She begs

‘Brianna is your child not mine, whatever concerns her you will do because I wont for anything in the world involve myself with a child that is not mine. It runs deeper than sperm, it’s a connection, it’s a bond, it’s a decision by two grown ups to raise a child. You can’t do something to please yourself and expect the world to be happy with you afterwards when it was done in secrecy and ill will. You made this mess, clean it up. You made your bed now lie in it.’ He says

He turns to look at his wife and signals her that they leave.

‘Ezra.’ She begs in tears but he doesn’t listen

Joan is crying hysterically as the two walk out of the hospital premises, the rest follow and now its just dad and mum. I don’t blame them after everything she has reviewed.

I don’t know what gets into me but I walk outside, lucky for me they haven’t left yet.

‘When will you ever grow up?’ I ask looking him in the eye

‘What?’

‘Ezra when the hell will you grow up? I ask again this time angry

‘Two years ago you showed up into my son’s life and claimed that you wanted to be a father to him, I was skeptical about it but I let you in. Ezra I allowed you because I never wanted a day to come when he would blame me for pushing you out of his life, I allowed you because I thought you had grown and matured but what did you do? You left as quickly as you came. Did you ever think of the impact that had on him when you left? Did you think of what it would do to his young mind? His emotions? You just left without a word.’

‘Katie.’

‘Shut up I am not done.’

‘There is a child in there, who is hanging on life support. Who can be saved if you just get off your high horse and you want to walk away like everything is okay? What sort of a monster are you? How will you even sleep at night knowing just how messed up all this is? Don’t you feel guilt? Don’t you have a heart? And you.’

I pause looking at Mer’vis

‘The people we choose to do life with are a reflection of who we are, instead of making him see the wrong in what he is doing you choose to support him. At what point did you stop being human? At what point did you become such a person? Ezra you have a chance of saving a life and you choose to walk away?’

‘God forgive but I hope lightening strikes you dead because you are a worst to humanity.’ I say and walk back inside the hospital
