Chapter 2
" Rikki Fontain!" I hear everyone cheers and yells my name and I....I just cant belive it! I scream but it came out more like a squeal. I knew i rocked the crowd but i didn't expect to win! I turn to Kayla and shake her hand and give her a smile. " It was really a pleasure competing with you." i step foward and take the check that they give me along with the trophy, (and no its not one of those huge gigantic checks.) I turn to the host and also give him a smile,"Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this means to me." A couple of tears stream down my face as i remember the reason i entered the compitition in the first place.
After the club gave me my prize and everyone - including me - calmed down, i got off stage and went over to my friends. " I can't belive you guys came!" Deen stands and gives my a hug. " Of coarse we did what did you expect." I look at him. " Well I expected you to bring one guest not two," I say under my breath. Quickly before he could say anything i start talking to Matt and Kat. " So Matt...Kat...." They look at me like im crazy. " Did you two make it official or not?" I look at Kat and her eyes are sparcling like she just one the lottery. Matt speaks up and says," Of coarse we did," like it was that obvious. I look over to greet Joe but when I turn around he's already there. " Oh, hey Joe." My words come out a little shakey 'cause if you didn't know Joe is one sexy man and i am secretly in love with with,but it will never work cause im 17 and he's 22. He has Jet Black hair, and honey colored eyes that I always get lost in. He has a WELL built body, but not too muscular. As i look him over for the first time today i notice what he's wearing, which is sexy might i add. He has on loose black jeans with a White button up shirt thats opened revealing his white beater that hugs his muscles.
"Hey Rikki, don't you look nice."I look at him then I look down at my outfit. I have on black skinny jeans that look like they were painted on, a pale blue shirt with the words "What the Hell" spray painted on, and Black stilettoes.Before I could say any thing some blond air head comes up to him. "Hey Joey, can we go back to your place now, I'm tired." God does she always sound like she's whining? Seeing Joe reminds me of my brother John. " Hey I though you guys were gonna bring John?" I look around but it seems as if everyone is avioding eye contact with me. I look back at Joe since John is closest to him besides me. " Joe whats going on?" "How bout we get out of here, i know this great restaraunt-" before he can continue i cut him off. "I don't wanna go anywhere! I wanna know what you guys are hidding from me! And dont tell me its nothing...Deen?" I look at Deen expecting an answer." Rikki calm down. nothing's going on." I can't belive it. " I expect lies from everyone else BUT NOT YOU TWO! Your not supposed to lie to me! No matter how bad the truth is!" I feel arms wrapp around my waist,but I push them away. " I feel wetness on my cheeks and realize that I'm crying.I quickly wipe the tears away, but it doesn't help. The tears don't stop.
You see, John is my little 8 year old brother. He's all i have left, and a few years ago he was diagnosed with lung cancer. he got out the hospitol a month ago because they said that the cancer was gone, but now i'm having doubts.
When I look back at Joe I see tears in his eyes but they never spill over. " Joe, I'm begging you tell me the truth.." He looks at me with pain and i have a feeling I know what he's about to say. "Rikki....John was readmitted into the hospitol...the Cancer is back." I look at each and every one of them. Kat, Matt, Deen, Joe. I gather my things and walk towards the exit, but i stop when i hear Deen. " Rikki. Come on lets celebrate get your mind off things." Before I could respond Joe does the unexpected. " Damn it Deen! Why would she want to celebrate when her BROTHER is in the damn hospitol!" He walks up to me and takes my hand. " Come on I'll drive. You look too upset, not that I blame you. We should have told you as soon as we got the news. I'm sorry..." i nodd my head not trusting my vioce.
Hold on John....Hold on a little while longer...I'm on my way.
Hahahaha I bet none of you guys were expecting that! well hope you enjoyed it I'll try to make it a little bit longer next time.
And to my readers I promise i will not abandon this story, but if i have a little bit of writer's block i'm going to have to take a break.
