Something I can handle

Oh no

So my heart is racing .

Did she read my text ?
Listen in on my calls ?
Did my bestfriend tell her ?
What is going on ?

I'm being silly she could want to talk to me about something completely different .

As I approach the car I loose the face of guilt I had on my face .

Before I could even buckle up .

"Who's your boyfriend ?"

BUSTED !

Play it cool

Maybe she doesn't know

"Mom what boyfriend ?"

" josh joe Johnny ??? I forget but any of those ring a bell ."

Jojo - it's the name I have him listed under in my phone it's one of my friends nicknames so if the Happen to see a text I can play it off as one of my friend messing round .

" no ma'am ."

" well you wouldn't believe it , today riding down the street out of no where your brother pops up with 'that's my sister boyfriend jo
He's kissing my sister they are gonna get married imma beat him up' I guess it's just another one of his stories . Unless you have a boyfriend who's your boyfriend ?"

Just to fill you in my littlest brother out of four brothers is who my mother is referring too he is special needs and he loves fairy tales so he is constantly making up stories out of no where .

But the weirdest part is

I never NEVER told him or said anything in front of him about having a boyfriend because I know he repeats things he hears . None of my other brothers knew the only people who knew were me my boyfriend and best friend and she knows better than to say anything to him as well .
He also can't read .

So how would he just so happen to say jo ?

I got chills I instantly knew there was no other explanation .

The Lord put those words in his head for him to say aloud ... Because why else would today be the day I mention bout telling my parents and then my brother just so happens to come up with a store about jo a boy I'm dating .

I got mad at first .
" have you been reading my text ?"
I cut at my mother

" no why something to hide ?"

" really then how did you get jo because there is no way he would have known that ."

"Known what ? You have a boyfriend named jo ?" She gets suspicious
Well now I'm blown my chances of playing cool so it's I lie bout this she looks later and finds out that I lied which would be even more trouble for me or I just plain. Out confess now .

" his name isn't jo ."

" what's his name ." She sounds angry now

" ( said his name )"

My mother almost threw up .

" WHAT HIM AGAIN HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE To BE TOLD !!!"

She went off and just like her and my dad promised from the get go the first screw up and I'm pulled out

So that's exactly what happened .

I was grounded for a year .
Literally .
Phone taken away .
Now free time .
No contact with him .
Pulled out of school.
No staying off or having friends over unless approved by parents first .
I wasn't aloud to leave my room without permission .
