Salem's POV
I woke up to my alarm going off. I groaned and turned it off. Oh wait I get to tell Richie about everything. YES!!! He's gonna flip. I got up and grabbed some clothes. I just grabbed some black jeans, a Twenty One Pilots shirt, my leather jacket, and of course my beanie. I walked into the bathroom and thought about my hair. Do I wanna straighten it? Ever since I noticed I have my mom's hair I have a different view on it. I'm gonna leave it as it is. I ruffled my hair and looked in the mirror. Meh.

I think I look fine

I think I look fine. I quickly did my morning routine and went downstairs. "Mom I'm up" I screamed. I saw her asleep on the couch. She jump slightly at the sound of my voice. "Oh my god" she said. She quickly grabbed her phone and sighed in relief. "I thought I slept in. I'm fine" she said getting up. She looked at me nervously and said "Honey can you start breakfast please? I need to get ready" "sure thing mom" I said. I walked to the kitchen and started to make me and my mom breakfast.

After me and my mom ate breakfast I left for school. I pulled into the student parking lot. I parked by Richie's truck and saw him eating. He's always eating. I rolled my window down and when Richie saw me he did the same. "What's up?" He said. "I got shit to tell you man. My whole life has changed. I'll tell you everything in biology" I said happily. I mean I really am happy. Richie just smiled at me. "Well it's nice to see you happy. I'm not too happy. You know. With my aunt and all?" I just nodded. She's a bitch.

Richie's POV
After Salem told me everything I was in shock. I mean I'm happy. His I guess step dad was terrible. I've never met his actual dad but he sounds amazing. "So your saying you met your actual dad? And you have 4 siblings you didn't know about?" I asked. Salem nodded vigorously. "I know it sounds crazy but it's 100% true I promise" he said seriously. "Wow" I said genuinely amazed. I thought I had a lot of siblings. Damn. I then smiled at him and said "well at least you don't have to deal with your step dad" "hell yea" he said giving me a high five. I really feel happy for him.

Time skip to end of school~

After school me and Salem agreed to go to his house. "So I know I said I would go to your house. I still am but Xavier wanted wanted to spend time with me and he said he didn't mind seeing you. I just kind of wanted to ask if he can come over" I said awkwardly. Salem just smiled at me. "You guys moved soo fast. He can come over though" Salem said smiling. Ok I have to admit. Salem is right. I always move fast in relationships. I did with all my ex boyfriends. But Xavier is different. I know he is. Or maybe I just have a soft spot for him.

Salem's POV
Me and Richie left school. I went straight home and he went pick up Xavier. I pulled up in my driveway and my mom wasn't there. I'm pretty sure she has to work late but that's ok. She's saving lives. I walked inside and went sit down. I turned on the tv and put on Supernatural. I love this show. Richie is farther than me in the series but that doesn't matter. I got up and looked for a snack. Well I guess fruit will do. I grabbed the fruit salad out of the fridge. I think it was for my sister but I don't care.

Right before I could sit down my step dad called me. What the fuck does he want? I answer the phone and said "hello" "Salem get to the fucking hospital right now. Your sister is having her baby" he said. "Which hospital?" I asked. "The one your mom works at. Where else would we be going? You're soo fucking stupid" he screamed. That's makes me want to stay here. "Ok. Bye" I said and hung up. I instantly called my mom about this. "Hey baby. Listen I already know what you're calling about. Can you please come to the hospital? I'm gonna need your help" my mom said.

God dammit.

I would do anything for my mom but I hate medical stuff. "Mom you know I don't like that stuff" I said nervously. "Baby I know. You don't have to look. You don't even need to be in the room. You can just stand outside. Please" she said. I know her voice well and she's about to cry. Hell no. I quickly texted Richie that I had to go to the hospital and he texted back that it was ok because he could stay at Xavier's house. That's good. I turned the tv off along with all of the house lights. I quickly ran to my truck and started it up.

I don't know if I can do this. I hate medical stuff soo much.

I eventually got to the hospital. The people there know me but I still check in to make sure. I went to the front desk and David was there. "Hey Salem. Here for your mom?" He asked. "Uh actually my sister. But I think she's with my mom" I said. He nodded and said "she is. Room 251" "ok thank you" I said. I walked up the stairs to the room and heard screaming. Fuck. I can't do this. I'm not Aaron Burr. I don't want to be in the room where it happened. I felt my body shivering. I opened the door and saw my mom holding my sister's hand. "Come see" she said to me. I nodded and walked over.

I stood there by my mom. I couldn't stop shaking. I hate this soo much. "Baby listen I know you're scared but it's gonna be ok" my mom said with a smile. I still hear in her voice how sad she is. I know she's about to cry. "Mama what's wrong?" I asked. She just shook her head. "Ok" I said quietly. I really wish my mom would be honest. I know she's sad about something. Hopefully I didn't cause something earlier. Maybe I made her sad for not wanting to come here. I don't want my mom to hate me.

The nurse came back in to check the centimeters or something. And holy shit when they pulled out the shots I felt like passing out. "Oh lord" I said stepping back. My mom grabbed me quickly and said "Salem it's ok. You're ok" "mama I'm passing' out" I said. My mom put her hand on the back of my head for support. "Salem sit. Just don't look. I know you don't do well with this stuff" she said. I just softly nodded. I can't deal with this. I heard the nurse say something followed by that my sister was ready. Shit.

The second heard my sister start screaming I passed out. Too much pressure.
