It All Started With A Dare

Chapter Twenty: A Hard Blow

Suddenly the bell on top of the entrance door jingled indicating that someone came in. "Welcome-" I looked up and saw an old man with a suit and brief case walk in. I couldn't help but notice the huge scar that was above his eye also the fact that both of his eyes were different colors. One of them was a pale blue while the other was black. He looked at me as he walked around the bakery.

"H-How may I help you?" I stuttered suddenly feeling very uneasy. "Oh I'm just looking around, these cakes look nice." His voice was very deep and raspy. "Did you bake these?" He questioned as he stared at the cakes. "No actually, my Grandma did." I responded, keeping a close eye on him. Something about this man seemed off. I just can't point my finger at it...

"Well I just wanted to stop by and check this place out." He headed back towards the front door. "You seem like a nice girl so let me give a piece of advice. Be careful with who you trust." He added as he left the shop. Be careful with who you trust...What did he mean by that?

Adam Mathews

"Hey Adam!" I turned around to see the members of the football team headed my way. I momentarily groaned but got over it once they were all in front of me. Behind me was both Amir and Isa, we decided to meet up at Panera then to go over to Amir's place to talk about what we were going to do next. But now it seems like that's going to have to wait.

"Yo what's been going with you lately man? You've been MIA since the party. You've barely been coming to practice either." Simon asked, the other members backed him up. It's true that I haven't been spending time with them lately. It's just a lot has been going on, like my father for instance. Also there's Zamzam... Stop it Adam.I commanded myself. I broke off the bet so I shouldn't be thinking about her. Why does she even pop up in my mind? She's everything I hate in a girl. She's too nice, she's hotheaded and she's too innocent for me. Okay I really need to stop right now.

"Nothing much, I just have stuff to deal with." I replied nonchalantly.

"Alright well we have to go somewhere but see you at practice." Brian started to walk and soon so did the rest of the boys, well everyone except Simon. He just continued to stand there as he observed Isa and Amir. After a couple of seconds he slowly began to walk away.

"So what's the plan?"

"I'm tracking down my mother. I'm going to get a private investigator without my father knowing and I'm going to get her here. She could help us with everything." I was certain that after I found her we could take down my father. But mostly I just want the relationship that was ripped away from me back. "How can you get one without him finding out?" Isa questioned.

"He's out of town so he won't have time to check what I'm doing. Trust me, this plan is fool proof. How much time do we have before you know what?" I  asked discreetly.

"A month."

We have a month to find my mother, stop Avon from doing what's he's about to do, give my father what he deserves and try to hide all of this from Scarfy. That's not impossible... right?

* * *

"Did you find her?" I asked the private investigator eagerly. "Yes actually. Your mother is Veronica Mathews right? Well it says here that she's currently here in New York." I almost dropped the phone that was in my hand.

She's here? My mother is here in New York!?
