thirty four.

heather.

i wondered what my mum wanted. to boast or apologise?
"hello?"
"hi darling. can i come over?" she asked.
i would usually disagree, and believe me i was going to, but i needed to talk to her eventually.
"fine. but I'll come to yours. alejandro and jose don't need to hear you squawking".
"thanks. oh, and i guess i am sorry."
"you should be. i'm coming now." i said.

the house smelt like fresh paint. the interior seemed like a new habitat. construction was being done outside, and even my room was cleared out.
"mum?" i called.
she walked down the stairs in her lavish robe. her eyeliner perfect and signature bob still in tact.
"what the hell is going on?" i questioned.
"why, don't you like?" she asked worriedly. i observed the room. fresh paint, construction, however, normal upstairs.
"it's fine but why are you constructing the whole bottom of our house? i am going to pop in three months."
"it's been six months?" she was so ignorant.
"typical. and yes it has. what's going to happen to my room?" i said again.
"wow. well i'm renovating the bottom story! it's going to be grey over there, oh and a plasma TV here, and a kitchen island right in the middle of the kitchen!" she sang. god this woman was so annoying.
i shot her a look reading that i was growing more annoyed by the second.
"well honey when you're rich the only thing you can do is enjoy it" she stated as a grape mixture was poured into her clear as day glass.
"mum, let me paint a picture for you. this kid" i referred to my growing stomach. "is not going to stop developing. i am meeting with the adoption agency in a few days and the people who i'm giving the baby away to are going to expect a healthy little boy. as much as i prefer alejandro and his parents over you right now, it's not fair to rub in his face that i'm not keeping it. i have been living out of a suitcase for the past six months and even school has been more supportive than you. well, the people who know, which are most unless they're blind."

suddenly, my mothers smile took over her face. it was like a virus that spread across all surfaces of her skin.
"you're having a boy?" she was in disbelief.
"well yeah" i rolled my eyes.
she hugged me so tight i thought the kid was going to fall right out of me.
"mum, I mean it. do not get attached. it's not going to live with us. we're going to visit him often, but I am too young to raise him. please understand."
she beamed so brightly the solar system was reeking of jealousy.
"okay!" she didn't even seem faced of what i just told her.

we sat down for lunch at a restaurant down the street.
"oh i forgot to ask, how did you find it out?"
to be honest, the only question i was on board with was to make her explain to me why she was so supportive all of a sudden. she literally threw me out. but, i needed to give al some space, even he had become agitated with me the past few days.
"uh bridgette was there. it was on the school trip. i made the mistake of telling her i wasn't on my period, so she dragged me out of the pool, bought me a test and it came out positive. that day and a lot more after that included lots of crying." i said.
"did you use protection at least?" she asked.
"nope. i planned this. i even orchestrated that the nurses play careless whisper and let's groove tonight while i give birth on the back of a rhino" i sarcastically answered.
"funny".

a/n new chapter coming VERY soon 😚
