Everyone Has A Secret

Big Sister

Sutton's POV

"Really? Oh my gosh!" I exclaimed as I ran over to my parents and hugged them. "How far along are you?" I asked my mom. "5 months," She said. "So, what is the gender of the baby?" I asked her. "Actually it's babies," My dad said. "And it's a boy and a girl." My mom said. "Oh my gosh!" I screamed before I hugged them again.

Before they could say anything, my phone buzzed in my back pocket. I pulled it out and saw that it was a text from Adam.

What did your dad say? I understand if we can't be together, judging from the black eye that I now have.

"I'm gonna go upstairs," I said. "Alright sweetie," My mom said before I ran upstairs. I went into my room and shut the door. I kicked off my heels and laid on my bed. I texted Adam back.

I told my mom everything and then I told my dad that I love you. He's sorry for punching you. I think they are going to get used to the idea of us together.

Adam replied instantly.

I hope they do. I really do love you, Sutton. I just wish that you were older.

What was that supposed to mean? I mean, we are 16 years apart, but couldn't he look past that if he really loved me?

Does our age difference really bother you that much?

I stared at my phone for a minute, which turned into 5, and then 30, which ended up an hour. He didn't reply. The bubble would come up that he was typing, and the it would disappear. I tossed my phone on my bed and got up to change.

I walked into my closet and changed into a sports bra and PINK yoga shorts. I put my hair into a messy bun and headed downstairs.

"I'm gonna go for a run," I said before I kissed my mom on the cheek. "Alright sweetie, have fun!" My mom shouted before I left.

Throughout my whole run, I thought about mine and Adam's relationship. I did love him, but maybe my mom was right. 16 years is a long stretch. I love Adam, but so many people will judge us. How is Adam going to look if he's seen with a girl that's barely legal?

An hour later, I was back home. I walked into the kitchen and saw a note on the counter.

Dear Sutton, We will be back soon. We just went to go pick out baby furniture. Grab whatever you want for dinner. Love Mom

I grabbed a frozen pizza out of the freezer and turned on the oven. I put the pizza in and went upstairs. I checked my phone and saw all the notifications that I had.

3 texts from Ali

1 text from Adam

I opened Ali's messages first.

Girl, we need to talk!

Sutton, pick up your phone!

Sutton Annabelle Shelton! Answer your goddamn phone!

I would respond to her later. I checked Adam's text.

I love you so much, Sutton. You mean the world to me and I don't want to lose you. I don't want the paparazzi to be bashing you or hurting you just because we are 16 years apart. I'm looking out for you because you are my girlfriend. I love you so much. Our ages don't bother me. I love you for you. And nothing will change the feleings that I have for you.

Tears fell down my face as I read the message. I decided to text him back.

I love you too.

Adam texted back instantly.
