the boy next door

Chapter 9

Abby's POV

"SHE'S PREGNANT?!" I say still in shock.

"Nope," Zayn says. Then he starts laughing. So does Chelsea.

"Bu- but you just said she was pregnant with twins!" I say coldly.

"Yeah, haven't you ever heard of a prank?" He and Chelsea starts laughing even harder.

Oh no. Here comes my old brother who always like to cause trouble. I start eating my food angrily so does everyone else. But Zayn just can't shut up about the "look on our faces".

"Zayn Harrison Watts! That was not funny at all, I think it's time you and me had a little talk" my mom says grabbing Zayn's arm.

I feel so embarrassed. My brother just made a fool out of us in front of Jace. He'll probably never want to eat dinner with us ever again because of my obnoxious brother.

After my mom talks to my brother and Chelsea, we finish eating our dinner in silence. Me and Jace go to my room and I close it.

"Hey look I'm SO sorry about my brother, he's just- I don't know I guess he's going through some things," I say confused.

"No need to apologize, it's totally fine. In fact my family would probably do a lot worse," he says and laughs. So I laugh too.

"You didn't show me your youtube video that you made," he says grabbing my laptop. I go on youtube and I show him my youtube video. I already have 500 subscribers.

After the video, Jace congratulates me on how good I did on the editing. I thank him and we just watch netflix. At 10:00 Jace leaves so it's me, my mom, Zayn and Chelsea.

I go downstairs to check and peek to see what my brother is doing. He's sitting on the couch having a make out session so I go upstairs to talk to my mom.

I knock on the door. "Come in," she says. I walk in slowly. "What's wrong sweetie?" My mom says standing up. "Mom, will we ever have a normal family again?" I start crying.

"What do you mean?" My mom motions me to sit.

"You know what I mean mom! Dad is in jail for abusing you and me, and Zayn hasn't changed a bit," I say sobbing.

"Speaking of Zayn, where is he?"

"Downstairs having his little make out session with his new girlfriend." I say. "You should've stopped him before Chelsea actually will be pregnant! I'm not trying to be a grandma!" My mom jumps up an goes downstairs.

"Thanks for your help," I mumble to myself. I stomp to my room and start crying.

Why can't I have a normal family?

Why can't I have a family like Jace?

I know he only said his family would do worse just to make me feel better.

I want a normal life. I want a normal family. I just want everything to be the same as it was when I was a little child.

Why did this have to happen to me?

The only good things that happened to me are dating Jace and on being on Henry Danger.

I sit on my bed crying and wondering about all these questions I ask myself.

I decide to go on youtube and make a video about how I'm feeling right now.

I fix my hair and my makeup then I turn on the camera.

"Hi guys, so I've decided to talk more about me since I don't really say much about myself. Like more of my personal stuff. Well my mom and dad got a divorce recently and I feel a little broken, then I visited him and he was a total monster, he went to jail for child abuse,"

"But anyway, my brother Zayn came back from college and he hasn't changed a bit, and that's a bad thing, he's a troublemaker. And I keep getting mean comment on Instagram just because I'm dating Jace Norman. I try to ignore them, but it really hurts. So haters please don't hate. Wait no that's not a good catch phrase, lemme do that over," I say laughing

"So the haters gonna hate but sticks and stones are going to break my bones, MKAY NOPE THATS A BAD ONE!"

"Ooh! I've got a good one and this is for everyone: Haters hate because they hate seeing you do better," I laugh. "Wasn't that better than the other ones? Well, I'm glad you guys took the time to watch this video so Byeeeee!😘"

I turn off the camera. I don't edit it because I really don't need to edit anything I just put a little music on in the background I upload it and I turn off my computer. I put my hair in a messy bun and take a shower. After I take a shower I put on my pjs and go to sleep

***
-DING!-

I jump up.

It was my phone.

I forgot to turn it on silence I look at it and see that I got a text message from Jace.

Jace: hey u up? If u are can we talk?

Me: I wasn't up until your text woke me up😒

Jace: Sowwy😅 maybe we can talk at rehearsal tomorrow

Me: yeah talk to me tomorrow

Jace: ok ily😘 gn😴

Me: ilyt!!😘 and gnnn!

I put my phone down and fall back asleep.
