Random Chapters Of Books I'm Too Afraid To Make

A Dent in The Plan(other)

   "I'm pregnant," I blurt out. The two instantly stop fighting and look at me. Just look at me. "What?" Lily asks quietly as if I just told her I don't know what the equivalent of 2 plus 2 is. Skylar's eyebrows are knit together so close I'm afraid they'll move there permanently. She looks like our mum with her wide eyes. Angry and confused all at once. She has always had that effect to remind me of our mother. She doesn't like it when people bring it up but, she is literally the spitting image of our mother, just younger.

     Lily stands up. "What do you mean you're pregnant?" She asks with venom in her voice. My sister scowls. "Exactly what she just said. It means, she had sex with someone, and now has a tiny human being in her stomach." Lily scoffs, "I got that." I swear, sometimes she acts more like a spoiled teenager than anything. "But with who? And when?" I feel the sudden urge to throw up. My throat is tight and everything is tense. I slide my hands down my jeans. "W-with Jason. It really was an accident. Uh...last month." Lily's eyes bulge. "You've known for a month and didn't tell us?!" I suddenly get major word vomit. "Well, it's not particularly something I say every day! And it's especially difficult when all my family members, including YOU, are yelling at me and scolding me for it! It's not like I can control it! Dad knows I was a mistake too! So far everyone but my friends and Jason have been an asshole and I'm not sure what to do! I mean, we have been planning to have a kid, so it works, I just didn't think it would happen after one time since I'm not very fertile! You know?" The words spit from my mouth like fire.

     I sit down. Put a hand to my forehead. "I didn't find out until last week. I kept throwing up in the morning so that's how I suspected it in the first place." Skylar sat beside me, rubbing my back to comfort me as Lily just shook her head. I give my sister a grateful smile. "I'm disappointed in you, Carmon. I thought I raised you better than this." Skylar stood up again, clearly ready to throw down. "You didn't raise us at all! If you're just gonna lecture my sister and not help her, then get the hell out of here because you have no right to be in our life when all you do is act like a bitch 99% of the time!" I grab onto the bottom of Skylar's shirt and tug slightly. Tears prick at the corners of my eyes. "Can we not fight? Or at least not yell?" My pleas are for nothing. "I hope you know how much patience Carmon has for you! I've wanted to punch you in your to-full of makeup face. Unlike Carmon who wanted to have a relationship with you like we had with our mother. I'm surprised our father still hasn't seen past your facade. Get the fuck out of here." 

     Skylar sits down again and wraps her arms around me. I appreciate Skylar standing up for me, yet I can't help but feel weak. Though she was right, Lily was the exact type of stepmother you'd think of her to be: cruel, manipulative. That's why both Skylar and I moved out as soon as we turned 18, despite how much we loved our father. Since Skylar is four years younger than me, she slept over at my house often. Lily closes her eyes into slits, glaring at me like a hawk before she grabs her purse and storms out. As soon as she shuts the door, tears stream from my eyes freely and I break down in my sister's arms, releasing all the pain my body has to offer from the past 2 months. By the time I'm done, my face feels puffy, my eyes are red, and I could really use a nap.

     "Let's go pick up Juny and get some fast food, mk?" Skylar asks, rubbing my arm.

Welp, that's gonna be an emotional ride. How fun.
