Unlikely (BWWM)

Chapter 4

With Carrie in the back room, me and Ethan were alone. We just stared at eachother for a few minutes while I ate some hot cheetos I got earlier that week.

"So. What did Charles say to you? That got you so mad?" I asked the question ive been wondering for a while now.

"Nothing. Hes just always saying dumb shit and I wasnt in the mood to talk this morning."

"But now you are? In the mood to talk?"

"Not really."

"Then why are you here? Go home and be by yourself."

"I would but I really need to talk to you. My brother. I found the photos." His voice got really soft and sympethetic and kinda caring. "Did you two really have a thing?" His face kinda went into a frown.

"Look I dont have time for your questions."

"Please. I need to know. Your daughter is almost 1 and thats plus 9 months. How long have you and my brother had a thing?" Matty never told anyone for a reason. He doesnt want anyone to know for a reason... I just never knew the reason. "I understand that this is been really fast and weird for you and I both but please. This is apart of my brothers life that I have never seen before. I thought I knew him." He looked arounf my small home then back at me, "but I guess I didn't."

"Look. You cant be a ass to me then your brother die and you turn into an angel. It doesnt work like that. Now you can leave on your own or I can call the cops and they can make you. I have a daughter to take care of." I say in the most stern voice I can make. He makes some type of pained but knowing facial expression, then it turns to anger.

"Fuck you. You dumb ugly fat ass bitch. Fuck you. Go to fucking hell. You are the reason my brother is where he is. I wish you die and take that damn baby with you. Your poor ass. I hope the bus flips over and kills the both of you. And keep the card n shit. You keed it. But know I hate you and your monkey of a fucking child. Im sure my brother did too." He says to me which makes me feel so pained. Did Matty really feel that way about me? Or was Ethan lying on the dead guy? I cant really get upset. Its over. He told me he loved me and Carrie so the words Ethan just said doesnt phase me at all. In one ear and out the other.

"Leave. GET OUT!" I yell at him.

He gathers his stuff, opens the door and storm out leaving the door open. I went to check on Carrie surprised she wasnt crying.

"Hey babygirl. You awake? Is mommys baby hungry?" I picked her up and took her over to the kitchen. I fed her and hummed to her while thinking of what Ethan just said to me.

He was right about a few things. I am poor and have no money to raise my daughter without Matty. I will not use that damn card that Ethan gave me.

I need a job. I need a job that will run smoothly even with my school and Carrie in daycare.

Pulling out my phone I go online surprised that my phone is still on with service. I go on some website for jobs that hire part time 16 year olds in highschool. The Apple Bees down the street from my house was hiring for a evening shift. I saw that I was needed to do an interview and talk to the manager about the times. I set up a interview for Saturday at noon. Today was Wednesday so I dont know what I will do til then. I need to eat and get things. I guess I will be using that card for the time being.

The next day I woke up extra late. I looked over at my alarm and saw that it was 10:18 and I was over 2 hours late for school, but I also felt killer cramps. I was seriously about to die.

I decided to weigh out the pros and cons of going to school.
Pros: I will not be in this house.
Cons: I will have to do work, face Ethan, be embarrased, ride the bus, get Carrie ready, and potentally die...
