secrets

leaving

I woke up to my alarm blaring. I got up. I went and took a shower. I was going slowly. I looked at my phone and put together that I was done with my period. I scrolled through insta and then finished showering. I got out and dried off I put my hair in a towel, while wrapped in my other, and went into my closet. I grabbed this my duke sweater and leggings with white socks and my air-forces. I went and put it on, but not my shoes. I opened the door and brushed my hair and teeth. I blow dried my hair, then sprayed heat protectant and did a light curl. I went out and put on my apple watch and grabbed my phone.

Har: Brady it's time to get up.

I laid on top of him. He shifted and stretched his arms.

Brady: morning

His groggy morning voice came out.

Har: morning. Are you gonna come with me to Andrews gender reveal party?

Andrew's my brother. Him and his wife are about to have their first kid.

Brady: yeah. I already told you I would.
Har: what when?
Brady: the other day
Har: oh ok.

I got off of him. He went into my closet. He has some clothes here. I went downstairs and made breakfast. We ate and then we went to my brothers. It was one once we arrived. We went and got food and sat at a table in the garage with my other brother and his wife, my sister and her husband, and my other brother. I have five brothers and three sisters, all older then me.

I sat there. I was done eating, just listening to their conversation.

Mom: hey guys.

I looked at her.

Dylan: hey mom
Tiffany: why are you so late?
Mom: I worked a night shift last night. Where's the rest of your siblings? We need to talk about something.
Axle: I'll go get them.

He came back a minute later and they sat down.

Mom: so, the hospital has decided to move me.
Carter: move?
Mom: yeah. To Stanley.
Kylee: what does that mean?
Mom: I'm going to move there.

Stanley's three hours away.

Har: what? No I'm not moving
Mom: I don't expect you to. I do have weekends off. It's going to be me gone all week. I'll come home Friday, Saturday, Sunday. But if you stay, we'll need to find someone to be around. I talked to Brady's mom. She agreed that she'd help you out-
Morgan: No. I'm in town. I'll stop in every day.
Mom: ok that's fine. But Michelle's still going to come around.
Andrew: you- you can't just leave her there she's our baby!
Lila: There's nothing we can do if she doesn't want to move.
Axle: I can move back in.
Mom: you don't have to do that. She's more then capable to take care of herself. Besides Brady's there most nights anyways. He has problems he has all of your numbers. Enough about this we should be celebrating.
Andrew: this is something we're going to bring up again later. Once everyone leaves.
Har: wait I have to be at Marikas party tonight I- I can't stay.
Andrew: your staying.

They all got up. I got up too. We went down.

Faith: we're doing a tiktok about the reveal.

I nodded.

Faith: go.
Har: I'm Harley, I'm your aunt and I think your gonna be a boy.

She pointed to Brady.

Brady: I'm Brady, and I think your gonna be a baby

We laughed. She walked away. We went and sat down.

Har: you can leave at the time we talked about earlier. I'll ride home with mom.
Brady: No. I'm staying.
Har: No you don't have to.
Brady: I'm going to. Your not kicking me out of this love.

I nodded. Soon the reveal was about to start. We sat down. She popped her cannon and Andrew right after her and it came out blue. Everyone was screaming and cheering. A while passed afterwards and everyone left. We were sitting at the dining table in the house.

Andrew: we were going to wait a while to tell you guys this but we did buy a house back home. It's actually close to the house. So I'll even be over a little more.
Mom: well that's great.
Axle: so we're all gonna come over more often then.
Mom: sounds good.

We talked for a few more minutes and then left. We made it to Marikas party. I got a drink for me and Brady. I went back in and sat on his lap. We stayed there for about a hour and a half and then we left. He put his hand on my thigh. We stopped at crumbl and then went home. I put on pajamas and put my hair in a bun then took off my makeup. I went back downstairs. A few minutes later Brady came in and sat in the living room with me and my mom.

Mom: I'm getting a new car, so you'll have my 2018 Malibu. I'm leaving tomorrow.
Har: oh jeez ok.
Mom: early too. Around like four. So I'll see you next weekend.

She hugged me and went up to bed. Brady and I watched a movie and then went to bed.
