TWO DAYS LATER.
I Haven't Talked To Mom In Two Days. It Is Truly Eating My Insides Out. I Feel Like I Am In The Wrong But She Is In The Wrong Cause She Lied And Has Kept A Secret From Me For A Month.-Diary Entry Three_Alex
I shut the lid to my computer then walked downstairs to get something for breakfast. Mom was sitting at the table. I clenched my jaw tightly. I opened the cabinet where the bowls are. I pulled a bowl down and grabbed some cheerios. I poured in the cheerios.
"Sweetpea.." My moms voice cracked out of sadness.
I looked at her in disgust and she knew it.
"There are some people that are coming over tonight and I want you on-" She started
I walked out of the room and upstairs.
"Don't walk away!" Mom yelled up the stairs.
I stood listening to her sob for a minute then walked into my room. I grabbed a handful of cheerios and poured them in my mouth. I opened my computer back up and sat there reading over my third entry. I saved it then X' ed out of the screen. I sat and looked at my homescreen for a moment. I thought about Lilah coming over and 'that guy'. I moved from my desk and layed on my bed. I looked up at the fan.
I watched it spin again an again, My eyes became heavy and I soon fell asleep.

I slowly opened my eyes as I heard knocking on my door.
"Sweetpea, get dressed please...dinner is ready" Mom yelled outside my door.
They were here. I put on a gray tee and some black jeans. I walked out to the stairs and stood on the edge listening to mom greeting those people. I walked down every step taking a deep breath controlling myself. I got to the bottom step and turned into the kitchen doorway. I saw the guys smiling face sitting by my mom and Lilah sitting in front of her dad.
The guy did look like Leonardo Di Caprio. I sat in front of mom. I tapped my hand on my pants. Lilah was quite amused by my reaction. Lilah actually had a pretty smile which I had not realized the other day.
"Hey ole-sport, I am Jay" He said with his hand out.
I looked at mom then back at 'Jay'. I shook his hand nice and firmly.
"Hi ole-timer, I am Alex" I told him smirking
"Alex!" My mom scolded.
"It's fine Charlotte" Jay told my mom kissing her hand.
"Sweetpea, get a plate to eat" My said worried like I was starving myself or something
"I am not hungry, you usually don't care if I eat any other day" I said raising an eyebrow at my mom.
She wanted to slap me but she wouldn't do it while he was here.
"Ole sport, this is my daughter-" Jay started to say
"Lilah" I rolled my eyes telling him
"You know eachother?" Jay said surprised
Lilah butted in.
"We met at school" Lilah smiled at her dad
I nodded as I got up whispering in moms ear.
"Can I go to the fair tonight?" I asked mom
"You have to entertain our guests" She whispered back
"You mean your guests?" I told her sternly
"Lilah?!" My mom said
"Ohh yeah, Lilah is coming with me" I told her
"Okay, behave" My mom winked at me.
I narrowed my eyes at my mom not sure what she meant.
"C'mon Lilah" I said loudly
Lilah stood and so did Jay.
"Delilah, please behave appropiately" Jay said sternly giving her 'the look'. I laughed and mom gave me 'the look'.
Lilah and I walked outside and I got on my bike forgetting that I only have one bike and there are 2 people.
"You can sit on here" I told here pointing at my handle bars.
She looked scared more than anything. It was kinda cute. She managed to get on the handlebars.
We started riding smoothly.
"How far away is the fair?" She asked
I smiled, she turned to look at me.
"There is no fucking fair!" Lilah said pissed off
"Nope, I wasn't going to stay in that hell whole with 'Jay' any longer" I told her
"Stop the fucking bike!" Lilah yelled
I stopped my bike and she jumped off. She started walking.
"Do you really want to walk out here by yourself" I called to her.
She stopped looking back.
"Why do you ask?" She said
"You know, rapist , murderers, drug dealers!" I smiled to myself
"Oh yeah, right" she said walking back
"I am not scared I just don't want you to get hurt" she included.
She got back on the bike and we road. We road to the otherside of town to the beach.
"Have you ever woken up face down in sand?" I asked Lilah as she got off
"No" she said oddly
I walked to the waves raising my pantlegs. I closed my eyes and let the water move over my feet. Lilah stayed back by the bike.
"C'mon, dip your toes in" I called to her
She walked over with her arms crossed. She stood beside me.
"It's freezing out here" she said with her hair blowing in the wind.
"Want me to take you home or back to my place?" I asked her.
"Just take me home, he wouldn't notice if I was gone" She said walking to the bike.
I felt like she knew what I went through. We got back back on the bike and rode all the way back into town to her house. Her magnificent house. We stopped at the bottom of the hill.
"I can walk you up if you want?" I asked her
"Sure" she said
She walked swiftly up the hill, I think because she was cold. I walked right beside her trying to keep up. We got to her porch. She smiled at me.
"Thanks" she told me
"Anytime" I told her
She leaned in and opened her arms for a hug but I quickly put my hand out for a nice handshake. She looked at me weirdly.
"See ya later" she said oddly
I rode home quickly to log an entry.
