The Days of August

Chapter 7

    "Get up, get up!" Bella and Hayley screamed in both Claire's and Callie's face.
     Callie groaned, "What's the rush?"
     Claire added on to Callie's words, "Please, give us five more minutes."
     The girls laughed, "No, breakfast is ready!"  Shouted Bella.
Claire and Callie lazily got up. All together the girls went into the kitchen.
"Good morning girls!" Laura said as they sat down at the table.
"What did you make mom?" Bella asked.
"Eggs and bacon." She responded as she put plates down in front of everybody.
"Want me to go get August?" Bella asked her mom.
"Yes please." Bella got out her her chair and ran down the hall to August's room.
Bella practically had to drag August to his seat, "Come on August!" Bella shout whispered to him.

Once everyone was done eating it was time for Claire and Callie to go home.
"Would you guys like a ride, I would be happy to drive you?" Laura asked them.
August stepped up, " I'll drive them mom, you can't be late for work."
Laura sighed, "Okay."
Claire joined the conversation," We can walk home if you guys have plans."
August shook his head, "No I'll drive you two, it's not a big deal."
Claire felt her face getting red, "Okay that's great then."
They walked out to the car, Claire sat up front while Callie sat in the back.
August tried to start conversation, "So do you guys have school today?"
Callie spoke, "Today is the last day of school, we where going to skip it anyway."
Claire's smile became huge, she had completely forgotten that they get to see their Grammy today.
      August pulled into their driveway.
     Claire and Callie both got out of the car and hugged August. He hurriedly got back into the car and drove away.
      Claire and Callie held hands as they walked back into their house together.  Callie grabbed Claire shoulder with her other hand to stop her as they reached the porch.
      Callie's eyes where getting teary, "Father is going to hate us."
      Claire smiled to try to comfort her, "And we're not going to care."
      They girls hugged then opened the door, their father was setting on the couch.
      "Hello girls, what brings you two around?" He said in a sarcastic tone.
      Claire gulped, "We are heading to are rooms now."
      Their father laughed, "No your not, I have important news for you." 
      They sat down on a separate couch, not the one their father was on. 
     "Okay, where did you two go?"
      Callie rolled her eyes,"Why, you don't care." She said in a nasty tone.
      Their father smiled, it made Claire tense up from fear.
      He shrugged, "Okay, fair enough."
      Claire was starting to shake, Callie stood her ground.
     Their father walked up closer to them, "Miley and I are getting married."
     Claire screamed, as Callie smacked him in the face, extremely hard.
     The girls ran up the stairs, Claire screamed, "Your a monster, a disgusting filthy monster!"
     Claire had now officially established a hatred towards her father.
     Callie ran into Claire's room with her,"I hate him." Callie said as she was fiercely shaking her head.
      Claire held Callie tightly, "So do I."
      Callie ran her fingers through her hair, "Do you really think Miley wanted this?"
      Claire copied Callie's motions,"I don't know, maybe."
      Claire's mind shifted and she thought of her Grammy, Will I get to see her?  I really want to see her.
       Claire eventually gave up all the hope she had for seeing her Grammy as she fell asleep into Callie's arms.
