It Was Always You

Chapter Twenty Nine

Later that evening Mila was in her room reading a celebrity magazine which she found very dramatic. Her door burst open, and her cousin Kristan makes her way in.

"Hello." She simply says looking her room in distaste.

"Please Kris, make yourself at home." She states sarcastically. "What do you want?"

Kristan shrugged her shoulders "You have a very dull sense of style Mil, this place is ugly."

Mila scowls at her. Her room consisted of home made things of either from her parents, Selena, grand parents or herself. She had pictures everywhere. Her awards from school, ribbons from contests, along with her soft ball and soccer uniforms with trophies, aligned on the wall. "Don't come in here and insult my life Kris, at least I have a sense of hominess and belonging."

Kristan gave her a withering look for she knew all too well that Mila was everyone's favorite, even her own parents. They always told Kristan, "Why can't you be more like your cousin Mila? At least She never complains."

Kristan looks at her dresser and gasps. "That's beautiful at least."

It was the necklace Mila had gotten for her birthday and still can't figure out who gave it to her. "Don't touch it." She snaps.

She wasn't in the mood for her spoiled cousin Hastiness haughtiness and oh so lovable character. She wanted her to leave and let her be alone.

"Well aren't we touchy, I was just looking at it. Who gave it to you?"

Mila didn't say anything to that. Mayhe if she kept silent Kristan would think she don't want to tell her.

"Was it your boyfriend Evan?" She asks sweetly with a small smirk on her face.

"Actually my brother got that for her, for her birthday gift. Spent every dime he had to get it specially made." Selena said from the doorway, holding a tray of food for two.

Both Mila and Kristan had identical shocked looks on their faces. Kristan looked at the necklace and rage filled her. She wanted to snatch the thing and destroy it but then she remembered why she had come here in the first place and smiled.

"How nice of him to do that. What does Evan think about another guy giving you such an expensive gift Mel?"

Mila was still too shocked to answer. Jared had given her that? But when? How come she doesn't remember it? Then a flash of memory came to mind that Selima had given her a box when they arrived at the birthday party. Didn't she say it was from her brother or something? Was that was in the box? Why doesn't she remember opening it?

"Evan doesn't mind, does he Mila?" Selena asks as she put the tray down on her bed.

Mila looked at the two girls. "Of course not, or at least he never said otherwise." She frowns.

"Why did you come here Kristan?" Selena asks, clearly stating she didn't like the girl.

Kristan walked back to the door and smiled. "I just came here to tell Mila personally that I just found out that I'm pregnant." The young girl giggles at the complete shock on both their faces. "You are officially the first ones to know. Not even my mom and dad know yet."

Of course they were going to be horrified when they find out, but they'll get over it and forgive her like they always do.

"Pregnant! You're only fourteen!" Mila screeches as she stands to face her.

How could the girl be so stupid and be happy about it at the same time?

"Yes well. I have support but that's not the best or important part." She says looking down at her manicured nails.
