Growing Up with Dallas || C.D.

Twenty-two

1 year later.

"Alejandra Franta" the principal announced.

"Leyah Garcia" the principal told me. I got up walking up the isle as I heard my dad and his girlfriend along with my friends who were also graduating, cheering me on.

I shook teachers hands and got my diploma.

I walked down the isle and walked straight to my seat.

"Good job Leyah. We made it" my friend Alien who was sitting in front of me whisper.

"Thanks. And we made it finally. I'm tired of this school" I chuckled as she agreed.

"Hey" my friend Michael say as he sat down next to me. His assigned seat.

"So glad we made it together"

"Yeah, I mean I thought once I came here, I would be alone forever. Not make any friends but now I'm so glad I met you guys and every one else" I smiled.

"We are all glad to meet you to" Alien said.

"Okay students of 2015-2016 please stand" the principal say.

We obeyed

"Please moved your strands on your hat left to right"

we did.

"Congratulations students of Wild Dogs high school Graduates" Everyone said.

Everyone but be threw their hats and I wanted to keep mine.

And now Collage.

2 years later

I packed my backpack quickly as I was running late from school. "Bye Angie I got to go. Tell dad I love him" I kissed her on the cheek.

"You really haven't changed" she chuckled.

"Yea" I laughed grabbing my phone and car keys, walking to the door. "Bye"

-15 minutes later-

"Come on" I said frustrated as I couldn't fund parking. "I can't be late"

I drove fast almost hitting students. "I should have asked Angie for a ride or something" I sighed really frustrated.

--------
3 years later- today

"Leyah honey i think this penthouse is huge and good for you" Angie said smiling looking around the place.

"You know maybe someday we can have a girls night here together" she said walking out to the terrace.

"Yea maybe if you and dad ever get in a fight which is every day" I chuckled.

"When? We only argue when the baby is crying"

"Layah is such a cry baby" I rolled my eyes. "I can't believe I'm related to her"

She smiled. "What a beautiful view. It's so peaceful. If you get this place we will be 10 minutes away from here so if you need anything-"

"Angie" I smiled. "I'll be fine" I laughed. "I'n only 19-"

"And a half" she interrupted me.

"Yeah, I'm sure I'm responsible and I can probably handle my own things. But if I need anything, you will be the first that I call"

"So, what are you gonna do for your 20 birthday. I mean it's in 2 weeks"

"I'm still an underaged drinker so nothing special really"

"Aren't you going to invite any of your old friends back home?"

"Back home doesn't sound really good for me. Besides once I left, everyone just started drifting apart. Kyle, the guy that I told you about. He got a girl preggers and he doesn't know what is happening with his life"

"He's only 19 he's still a teen"

"Yea, and Angelina who I thought was my best friend. Turned me down and started doing these shady things and the person who is pregnant with Kyle's baby is her"

She gasped. "Now that doesn't really sound like a good idea to invite them"

"Well I still talk to my guy friends back to the other house but just not those two" I looked out to the view.

"Aww sweet heart you will find some so much better. Especially your looks and definitely that personality that you have. You're so sweet and understanding. The first time I met you, I thought you the most beautiful person ever. Sweetheart I thought you were married"

"Okay don't go that far" I chuckled.

"Okay but the point is you really are so pretty"

"Thanks, people say I get the looks from my mom"

"Well she's very pretty"

"Thanks but I was talking about you. Even tho we aren't related you're still like my mom. I'm glad my dad met you and I did to"

"Thank you I'm so glad I met you guys to"

"I'm so glad I came here. I thought coming here it would be like hell but it turned out to be a really good experience meeting new people and just seeing the world"

"Okay don't go that far" she mimicked me. I laughed and it became silence.

"You know I've about that kid Cameron. Tell me about him"

My eyes went big.

"I'll tell you when the time is right. I really want to but not right now. It's a beautiful time and it will become dark"

"well the sunsets rising you wanna go home and talk about it or you're really not up for it because there is something I really need to tell you about him and you're brother"

"Okay but there really nothing to talk about. He is a low lifeless jerk who doesn't deserve his name to be out"

"Oh well I guess we won't talk them" she looked down disappointed.

"Why is there something wrong?"

"There something I really need to tell you about"

"Why did you bring up my brother?" I asked curiously.

"Okay" she sighed.

And what she told me, really shocked me and I couldn't mentally prepare myself for this.
