One True Love

Chapter Three- The Deal With My Mentally Unstable Mother

I got home from school that Monday. And was soon was pestered by the many questions from my mother.

"How was your day?" She asked

"Good."

"Did you learn anything?"

"Yes."

"What?"

"Names."

"Names of who?"

"Of the kids at the school."

"Did you make any friends?"

"Yes."

"How many?"

"Alot."

And then finally she asked the question I was waiting for,"Did you meet any pretty girls?"

"You betcha!" I was blushing wildly.

"Did they have names?"

"Allison."

"Only one in the whole school?"

"Only one that I care about."

"Did you even talk to her?"

"Yes."

"What do you think of her?"

"I think I'm going to ask her out on Friday."

"You didn't answer my question, John."

"That I love her."

My mother then walked over to me and slapped me across the face.

"How can you say you love a girl you just met!?!?" She screamed in my face

"It was love at first sight..." I say in a wimpy whisper

Another slap traveled across my face A's soon A's the words escaped my lips.

"I forbid you to go out with that girl." She said sternly

"You can't do that!" I was suddenly boiling up with anger

"Love leads to sex and sex leads to babies." She said quietly

"We are not going to end up like you and my REAL father." I wished to take the words back but it was too late. Another slap came my way. Definitely not a good idea to talk about my birthfather with my mother.

"Your father told me he loved me, got what he wanted from me and dumped me the next day. Your going to do the same thing to that poor girl." She was crying now

"Im nothing like my father..." I say calmly.

"You look more like him every day." I sit next to my weeping mother and pull a strand of blonde hair out of her face and tuck it behind her ear.

"I won't hurt that girl." I promise her.

"Yo haven't even been with any other girls!"She said still crying.

Suddenly her head popped up with her big blue eyes wide with idea,"Iv got an Idea!"She says

Am I good or am I good?

"What?" I ask kind of scared. Most of my mothers ideas are stupid and complicated. But none A's stupid A's the one that she was about to say.

"You have to go out with nine girls. No you have to have nine OFFICIAL girlfriends for at least a month each. If you don't fall in love with any of them then you can date Ally." She said it like it was a good idea

"That is the worst deal ever!" I complain

"Then, I guess you can't date Ally at all..." She says

"UGGGGG! Fine, you win." I say

"You have to write there names, date you got together and broke up, and they all have to meet me." She told me

I so mad all I can do is agree.

And this was just of beginning of my female hell punishment.
