Chapter 2
After a minute he tried talking to me again.
"Summer..." he said trying to get my attention
I said nothing. Trying to get the situation off my mind. When we got home he parked in the driveway. I didnt wait for him to come around and open my door , breaking our streak, and ran into our house with him hot on my heels. I opened the door and see my mom in dad in the living room with moving boxes. I dropped the keys in the bowl next to the door.
" What's up?" I asked
They turned to face us.
"Were moving" They said said at the same time.
" Where?" I asked
"Vancouver" My dad said
" A four bedroom house with 3 bathrooms a huge kitchen and a dining room..we'll tell you the rest of the information at dinner " My mom added dreamily
"Mhm" I mumbled as I walked down the hallway to my room.
I heard someone walking behind me but I still closed my door right as I walked in. Shawn sighed and knocked on it.
"Who is it?" I asked innocently
"Cmon Summer..can i come in?" He asked
"Fine" I sighed flopping onto my bed. He came in and sat on a chair
"Are you mad?" He asked
"No...why would I be mad when my brother makes out with the very girl that has bullied and tormented me since 9th grade?" I asked sarcastically
" I asked if she was hurting you!" He glared accusingly and a noise rose from his throat.
"She wasnt! Well not physically. She bullied me mentally and emotionally. At first it was everyday but since I started talking making friends she kinda stopped. I think she's scared of Courtney. AND there's still something she carries over my head till this day. And not only did you just kiss her your also gonna fuck her... that is if you haven't already. Plus I thought we were twins - you should've told me you were dating" all my feelings poured out.
His face softened.
" What is it?" he asked
"What?" I asked confused .
"What is she holding over your head?" he asked concerned
"Does it matter!?....why don't you go get ready to fuck your slut tonight ,because I'm using the car tomorrow" I said irritably . His eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly.
"Where are you going tomorrow?" he asked
" Dont worry about it" I said. He just stared at me.
"what ?"
" Your...you be.." he studdered
" Ima...I be doing what " I mocked
Then it clicked in my head. He think I'm about to go ..have sex...with someone
"No, God no , Im still not ready for that.I'm ... and im going to a party... freak" I muttered a little embarrassed that he asked me that personal question. Both of us knowing the reason behind my answer.He sagged his shoulders a little in relief.
" Get out!" I demanded
"Not until you forgive me" He reasoned
"For what?" I asked
"Kissing Diana" he said
"So you just let me make a fool out of myself this morning ?" I asked
" Just listen, Summer" He said patiently
" Its whatever now. Be with who you wanna be with" I said assuringly
"So we're cool?" he asked
"mhm" I said sighing
He sighed heavily knowing that I was still angry with him and decided to let me cool down.
I started to do my homework. By the time I was done dinner was ready. I walked down the hall to the kitchen, made my plate and sat in my chair. After everyone was settled we started to eat.
" Okay so I know that you guys aren't really happy about moving right now but think of the opportunities." my dad started
" Opportunities?! what about school? This is our senior year" I said
" Well the second semester is starting right after winter break so if we move during then you guys can go to school there" my dad answered
"I don't wanna move!" I pouted
"Why not?" my mom asked
" Well I'd be leaving all my friends and graduating with strangers and my dream college is here in California and I have a good job here." I asked the last part quietly
What if he tries to find me out there?
" They won't be strangers once you get to know them and you can use your laptop to Skype your friends here and you can make new ones easy. Your smart, funny, beautiful." My dad started listing off.
"Flattering me won't help and I don't even have a laptop" I reasoned
" You do now" my dad said pulling out a box
" Shawn?!" I asked
"Hmm?" he looked up from his plate of pork chops calmly.
"You can't tell me you want to move" I said shaking my head
"Its a good offer Summer" Shawn said shrugging
" How good? " I asked my dad
" Well the alp-...I mean the real estate agent returned our calls .The house is cheap and we only have to pay the water bill. The electric and gas bill are payed by the....governer. This is the chance of a lifetime!" He said
I wasn't aware we were looking for a new place to stay.
"I can stay here by myself" I said
"Your still a minor." My dad said
"Well I can stay with grandma until im old enough to-"
"Summer, were moving " my mom said flatly. And that was the end of the discussion
When I got up and went to my room I was getting a incoming call from Jewel. I answered it.
-Phone Conversation-
Me: Hey
Jewel: I hate my mom
Me: What happened
Jewel: I'm moving
Me: Where ?
Jewel: Some place called Vancouver, I never even heard of-
Me: No way!
Jewel: Why you so excited ? Im leaving!
Me: My parents just told me I was moving too!
- Then we talked about how cliche that was and everything until Court called and then told us the exact same thing while were on threeway after that I hung up to get ready for bed -
No...theres something going on here. There's No Way that it was just a coincidence that me and not one but both of my friends got the same "good deal". We're our parents planning this ?
