When I was in the Music Competition

... you betrayed me and you don't give a shit about that. How long have you known about your Dad's family?"

There was no response and they looked down.

"You go now. I'll get you tickets to Seattle and you go or if not get the fuck out of this house. I'm gone from here tomorrow. If you go back to Seattle, pack your shit up and get out of the house and don't be there when I get back. I'm cancelling your phones and shutting down the plan at month end. You might look for work, or move back to Virginia with your dad and your step siblings. Tell Mark all of this and tell him this. You're all dead to me."

I asked for a meeting with Gwen and the producers and it was virtual. I told them that I was pregnant and going through a divorce and needed to back out. The producers thanked me for not forcing something ugly on the franchise. They were about to end the call and I asked Gwen to hang on nicely. She said, "What's up?"

I said, "Blake's the father. He doesn't know. I don't want to blame him and I feel horrible about this to you and apologize. I don't want money and I won't name him. I can't tell you how sorry I am. She look shocked and I disconnected.

End Part One.

I found Patti on facebook, she was living in West Seattle of all places I sent her a friend request and then direct messaged her in facebook that I was in bad trouble and needed to talk to her about some life stuff and needed lawyers, guns and money. We both loved Warren Zevon and the phrase was code for I was ...

She came up to me and said, "What's up?"

"Marcia, there is a lot to unpack, but I'm going back to Seattle. I'm pregnant from Blake. I withdrew from the competition which they were happy with. I told Gwen. My son came out to me. My kids and Phil have known he was gay for six years. Despite that my brother is queer and I love him, they withheld it from me. My kids knew of Phil's other family for some time. Serious betrayal. All I ever did was take care of them. I'm not a Nancy right winger.

"I have to get a lawyer and the house is mine and I need to sell it to fund my life. I'm not Hollywood."

I heard a car honk and hugged her and was out the door and into the car. I was travelling light and felt freed up.

When I touched down in Seattle at SeaTac, I turned my phone on and Patti messengered me with her number. The kids were little when I last talked to her.

I was in a cab headed to my house and I called her and she picked up on the first ring.

I said, "Patti it's me Teri. I need some advice and help can I come and see you tonight?

"She said, "Sure don't eat, seven okay?

I said it was. I googled a lock company and got one that could meet me at two o'clock, three hours from now at my parent's old house on Queen Anne to change the locks."

I got home and the place was trashed. ...
