She is Not Who You Thought She Was

Chapter 13/He Will Call

Sunday rolled around and I still hadn't seen or spoken to Blair since our last conversation in my closet when she told me that I loved my father more than she ever could. I didn't think her drinking on Friday night had anything to do with that. It had to be something different. I thought about it so much I honestly had no clue what it could be about. The doorbell rang and I skipped down the stairs already knowing who it was. Bellatrix and Roxy stood in the door way with two red buckets in their hand and a sponge in the other. Their hair were pulled up in buns and they had flip-flops on.

"Thank god." I sighed and they smirked.

"Good to see you too Marilyn Monroe." Trix looked me over. I was wearing a strapless white swimsuit top and tight white swim shorts. I rolled my eyes at her comment. Trix had on a huge black T-shirt and I saw a black strap peeking out on her shoulder as the sleeve hung off. Roxy had on a sky blue one shoulder swimsuit top and high waisted white bottoms with some sort of blue design to match the top. They were ready to wash my car and it couldn't have come a moment too soon. I moved my moms car onto the side of the street so it wouldn't get splashed in the process. The only debt they owed was washing mine. Once I wetted my car with the garden hose I filled their buckets. We ended up kicking our flip-flops off at one point and we were working in our bare-feet. Roxy seemed quiet, but in a good way. She didn't seem distracted.

"Hey Roxy I didn't get a chance to ask how making Enrique jealous worked out." I mentioned wondering if my hypothesis was correct.

"Oh. I don't know. He hasn't texted or called so I'm guessing not well." I smiled and let out a knowing laugh. "What?" She looked at me then Bellatrix did when she let out a suppressing smile.

"You wouldn't care even if he was jealous." I told her.

"What does that mean?"

"She is saying," Trix started, "you were too busy enjoying your flirting with Mr. Calvin to notice." Trix wiggled her eyebrows at Roxy. Roxy unexpectedly threw her soapy sponge at Bellatrix hitting her right in the face. Trix let out a small scream and the sponge fell to the floor with Trix looking like she just got a pie in her face. I laughed loudly and Trix wiped the big suds off her face and glared harshly at me.

"I'm sorry, sorry," I forced my laughter to stop, "Here I'll help you get cleaned up..." I trailed off and I sprayed the hose in her face.

"Oh you're dead." She said seriously and picked up her bucket full of soapy water. she started to chase me and I ran onto the other side of the car where Roxy was hiding. Screams and laughter was filling the whole neighborhood block for the next ten minutes until we were all soaked in soapy water and freezing from the hose water.

"Was he jealous?" Roxy asked after we finished drying my car.

"Yeah." Bellatrix and I said simultaneously.

"Really what did he do?" Roxy asked excitedly. I glanced at Trix and she nodded telling me I should tell her.

"Well that girl was kissing him, but he was staring at you and Calvin. He pushed the girl away and walked in the opposite direction." I told her and Roxy looked down. She didn't smile, but she didn't frown.

"Okay." Is all she replied. I didn't know Roxy well enough. I couldn't tell what she was thinking. I looked at Bellatrix for some answers, but she just shrugged her shoulders at me. "I don't know what to think you guys." She put her head in her hands.

"Is it because of Calvin?" Trix asked.

"No. No. I just. I don't know if he actually did cheat on me and if he is jealous that means he still has feelings for me right?" She looked between us. "But I can't ask him if he did because he can just say he didn't so I will just get back together with him. If he even wants to." I looked down not knowing what to think either.

"Do you love him?" I asked her.

"Yes." She said easily.

"Are you in love with him?" I asked seriously. After going through my fathers death and knowing how my mother felt about James I knew that loving someone and being in love with them are two completely different things.

"I-I don't know." She stuttered. Being in love with someone was so different than loving someone. You are in love with them. I don't know what its like, but I bet it's scary as hell. "I think I did, but now I'm so scared I don't think I am." My breath caught. You are in love with him. You are scared of him breaking your heart while you are in love with him. She is trying to convince herself she isn't so it doesn't hurt as much.

"He will call Roxy." I touched her shoulder. I wasn't into the whole affectionate touching, but knowing what she doesn't know herself makes me more sympathetic. "Be patient he will call. Seeing you with a handsome guy will get to him. He will end up calling." I reassured her. And he would, I knew he would.

Later that afternoon Trix and Roxy went home and I showered in desperate need of some alone time. I had a whole week of school ahead of me and I need to be on my A game. As I finished picking my outfit out for tomorrow I heard a knock on my door. I took a deep breath and opened it.

"Hey honey." My mother was in sweat pants and a big T-Shirt. She never dressed down. Even if she was home she still had on jeans and a blouse at the very least.

"Hi...mom." I looked her up and down. Her hair was still beautiful and her makeup from work was still perfectly in place. "What's up?" I asked as I left the door and meandered back into my room. I sat on the edge of my bed criss-cross and she sat at the edge her feet barely touching the ground.

"Nothing I just," She paused putting her lips into a thin line then opening her mouth to speak again,"I lost my job."

"You what?" I almost yelled. We can't afford this. I didn't know a lot about our financials, but I know after my dad died we used it all the pay off his and my mothers debt and then to move here and bought this house. Of course we have always lived a luxurious life, with Blair's income and my fathers.

"They said they had lay offs and out of all four accountants I had been there the least amount of time so it was easier to fire me than anyone else." Blair explained. Honestly, I had no sympathy because I was too worried about where we were going to get our money from now on.

"Mom, what are we going to do?" I asked my big blue eyes going wide looking back into hers.

"I-I," Her voice was shaking,"I have been looking at jobs I have two interviews tomorrow, but they are not the best income. I hope that they will manage to keep us afloat while I keep on looking." I nodded looking in my lap with worry. "I just thought you should know, I didn't tell you so you would worry, I told you because...because you are my daughter." She touched my knee lightly then got up and started towards my door.

"Thanks mom."
