"Goodmorning mom ". I said loudly

" Goodmorning honey , your in a weirdly unusually happy mood today ". Mom said

" nothing is hurting to me ... No bruised ribs ... Nothing !" I exclaimed

" why would your ribs and stuff be bruised Hun? That's not normal ". She asked

I totally forgot what I was saying out of my mouth. I stood there silent for a second and realized how stupid I was for just blurting that out. I was kind of scared because maybe my step dad may think that was my way of telling my mom.

" because of all those fights mom . Keep up ". I said quickly

" oh yeah ". She chuckled

I sat down and ate my food and was really in a good mood. I kept looking back at the tv just because there was some type of show on that was very interesting.

" So Winter I'm not going to work for the next couple of days because I know what's happening ". Mom said

" you wh-what ? Wh-what's happening m-mom ?". I asked

" why are you stuttering Hun?". Mom asked

"C-cause what d-do you k-know? ". I asked as my heart began to beat faster

" I know your cousin is pregnant ... Yeah she told me ". Mom said

" oh yeah... I could've told you that ". I said relieved

" well you didn't so now I know and I want to be there for her ". Mom said

" yeah that would be great. So will you be home when I get home from school and stuff ? ". I asked

" yeah ". Mom said

" that's great ! ". I screamed

" since when are you happy for me to be home ?". Mom asked

" long story ". I whispered

"Alright well mom I have to go to school and I cannot wait to see you when I get home". I said aloud

" alright Hun have a nice day at school and I'm looking forward to it". She said

I began cleaning up and I noticed that James ( Winters step dad ) wasn't speaking the entire time and the moment I said I'll be home ... His whole mood changed for worse and not better.

"Babe". I said

" wassup? ". He said

"Do you want me to be home when you get home or no?". I asked

"Of course I do ... Why wouldn't I?". He asked

" because it seems to me that you have other plans ... Plans that involve you and winter and never me". I said

"What plans could we possibly have?". He asked

" I don't know ... I was just wondering ". I said

As I said that he began looking at me with this weird look, but i tried to act like i didn't even notice it at all.

"James I have a question". I said

" what may that be?". He asked worriedly

"Do you know how these bruises are always showing up on Winter?". I asked
