Choices and ideas
*Tom*
"Unfortunately you have to give that little bitch what she wants dad. I don't want you to mess up your career over this. She isn't worth it". I hear Will's voice and turn to see him stand in the door with the phone in his hand.
I nod slowly and turn to look at Aslyn. "He is right. You get what you want, but believe me if you ever touch him again or if you mention this to anyone, I won't hesitate to turn you in.. no matter the consequences for me".
"He wasn't that good a fuck anyway". She hisses. "But I will go to the media and take the blame for the photos.. Tell everyone what a great guy and gentleman you really are. Try and save your sorry excuse of a career.. you are very welcome".
"Aslyn, just leave and don't let the door hit that skinny ass on the way out". I turn my back to her. Looking at my son. Shortly after I hear the door slam. "I am sorry you had to hear that Will".
He shrugs, but his eyes are sad. "I should have known. I should have realised that there was something else behind it. I mean look at me and look at her. I am so sorry dad, I have been such an idiot".
"Don't say that Will". I pull him into a hug and he buries his face in my chest. "You are worth ten of her. She is nowhere good enough for you. And how could you know, you are not supposed to think about things like this quite yet. You were used and manipulated and I am sorry about that and about not realising".
I hate that my son has been dragged into this. That he at this young age had to experience how depraved humanity can be. I also feel kind of guilty. This has nothing to do with Will, and everything to do with me, he was just the means to an end.
He looks up at me. "Are you going to be okay dad ? Do you think she can actually get those fake accusations to go away ?"
"I hope she at least can even it out". I say ruffling up his hair. "If there are no more accusations made, we might be able to put a lid on it. Maybe people will forget or think it was a misunderstanding. Some might even believe in the truth.. we just have to hope"
"It's just not fair dad. You don't deserve this". He says as I let him go. "I can't understand why anyone would do this to you".
I take a deep breath and take my phone back from him. Honestly neither do I. Have I unknowingly offended someone enough that they wish to destroy me ? I know I never did anything to those women. "I wish I knew. If I knew who or why, it would be so much easier to do something about it".
*Willa*
I am still trying to get my bearings back, I feel how my heart is still beating faster and my face is flushed with anger. I can't believe that bitch went for Will when Tom wouldn't give in to her. My kid has been befouled by that little skank. Oh she should be so happy right now that I am pregnant and stuck on the other side of the world.
There is a knock on my door and Dan pokes his head in. "I have something for you Willa. I have a very good idea about who is behind those rumours about Tom".
"You do ?" I look at him in surprise. I had no idea he was even looking into it. "Well come on in and tell me then".
He walks in and closes the door behind him, before flopping down in the other chair. "You see there is this .. well I guess he can be called a struggling actor, Justin Myers.. handsome guy, moderate talent, bad attitude.. He was shortlisted for the movie Tom is doing. It could have been his big break. But, as we both know, he didn't get it and he has been going around hinting how Tom got the role unfairly and just talking plain smack about him".
"So you think he is behind these sexual harassment accusations as well ?" I ask. Oh if there is anything to this, I need to talk to this guy.
He nods, biting his lip. "I do, all three women can be connected to this Justin guy. A close friend, a second cousin and well a current girlfriend.. soo".
"Oh when I get my hands on this guy". I crumble a piece of paper in my hands, wanting it badly to be his neck. "Do you know where I can find him ?"
Dan chuckles lightly. "Yes, but you need to relax sweetie. Getting this worked up,while pregnant isn't healthy.. and If you just attack him publicly you are the one that is going to look bad. You also won't be able to prove anything. We need to be smart here. Have him admit to being behind the rumours, if we are going to clear Tom".
"So what do you propose we do ?" I look at him. He is right, I mean I want to just kick this guy where it hurts the most, but that wouldn't help Tom. So he is right, we need a plan.. a good one.
Dan smiles. "Well he is going to be at this premiere that I have tickets for tonight. How much are you willing to do to help your man ?"
"Just about everything". I say leaning back in my chair. Tom is the last person who deserves these accusations. "So you do have a plan ?"
"Do you have a sexy dress to wear to the premiere ?" He says winking at me. "Because that is the first step of my little idea".
