Burn Bright

"Carly, its Kasey.” I said into the phone.

"Oh-Hey, how's it going sweetheart? I haven't heard from you in some time, how's Gerard and Mikey doing?" She asked me, normally I would have loved to talk about the Way brothers but I had more important things on my mind. Like the fact my parents were trying to marry me off.

"There fine but I need to talk to you. Its like, really important. Can I go over to your house?"

"Normally I wouldn't have a problem with it but I'm not really in the state right now... I'm in New York." She informed me.

"Why?"

"I'm looking for dresses, I'll explain more later, but you obviously need to talk so go ahead." She encouraged me.

Thats what I loved about Carly, she was more like a mother to me than my own. Hell, she raised me when my own mother wouldn't. She always put me first and I love her for that, even though she no longer is my nanny, she still takes care of me like she is.

"My parents are trying to get me to marry the son of-"

"America’s largest fine cheese industry in hopes the business will merged." She finished for me.

"You knew." I gasped horrified.

"It was never confirmed, but I always suspected it." She admitted.

"Do explain." I harshly encouraged her.

"Your mother, when you were young, would always talk about this man. I suspected she was having an affair, but when I overheard he had a son around your age and what his occupation was; it clicked in my head. I never had the courage to asked her but I always had the thought."

"And you never thought to tell me?" I was so angry I thought I might break the phone I was holding in half.

"When Kasey?" She asked in a irritated voice I had heard many time beforein my childhood. "When you lost your forst tooth and you asked about the tooth fairy? When you fell off your bike? When you had your sweet 16? When you met Gerard? When Kasey? There never was a right time to tell a child she was going to be married off, or even she she was going to be married off, I didn't even know it was their plan until you called me and told me tonight." She lectured me. And like every other time she lectured me in the past, she was right. There never was a right time to tell a person this.

"I know it just really fucking sucks that my own parents would try to pull this kind of thing on their own daughter." I said throwing my head back against the seat and I felt a few tears slide down my face.

"I know, I'm really sorry."

"My father told me it was an option but my mother makes it sound like I have to or she'll disown me."

"Well your mother can be unpredictable sometimes." She joked.

I couldn't help but laugh along with her.

"I don't wanna get married. Or even think about it, I'm 16, I should be at parties and be doing stupid things with friends."

"I'm probably the worst nanny in the world but I encourage that." She commented.

"What is my mother going to do when I tell them?" I asked.

"How much is in your savings account?" She asked.

"About $200,000." I was disgusted that I had that much money in my bank account and didn't use it but so many people were suffering, I tried my hardest to donate to those who needed it more than I did. "My parents still add money to it but I never use it besides charity."

"Good, tomorrow go to the bank and withdrawal a large sum of it. Tell your mother its for school reasons and ask for some more, hide it someplace safe, with someone your trust, perhaps Gerard? Then tell your parents, if they disown you, then you at least have some money to fall back on, if not then redeposit it."

"You're a evil genius." I told her.

"I try my best." She said, I could tell she had a smile on her face.

"It's really late, I'll do it tomorrow."

"Okay, but your underage, have Sean go with you to withdraw the money, okay?"

"Okay, thank you Carly, I can always count on you."

"Yes you can, I love you."

"I love you to." I told her, then we hung up.
