(...Sort Of..) Love

The Backstabber

Well last night didn't go as I expected. It was full of tears and things that I didn't really want to deal with in the first place. The good thing was that Carter took everything really well in the end. I'm glad that he wasn't like other boys, I remember when a girl from my old high school got pregnant. Her boyfriend found out and the next day went to another state to go live with his aunt. Real ass hole! I was lucky in the long run. Hopefully Carter will stick around for the whole time. And I really hope that he doesn't take off after a while. I had slept for a long time into the morning, it's like twelve. Michelle slept over last night because I wad upset, she has been a big help through this all. Aiden has been okay through it. He was really mad but has been nicer to me. He won't give any slack to Carter though. Poor boy.

I took a shower in my bathroom then walked back into my room. Sitting on the bed was Aiden waiting to talk to me. I glanced at him and then walked over to my desk. Sitting down I looked at my twin brother. He gave me a smile and I returned it with a funny face. He shook his head but kept the smile.

I leaned back into the chair and crossed my arms. "So what's up? Do you need anything?" I asked.

He nodded and then lay on my bed, he then put his arms behind his head. "I just wanted to see how you were holding up. And I wanted you to know that I'm sorry for yesterday, blowing up at you and everything." I waved my arms as if it was nothing. Yeah it was something then but now I need all the support I can get and people on my side for when I tell my parents. That is going to be another story."Look Aiden. I know I made a mistake and I'm not proud of it at all, now I have to worry about telling mom and dad, and raising a baby." I looked down and then heard Aiden moving off the bed. Looking up I saw him coming over.

"It will all be okay, listen Gracie no matter what, you have people here for you that can help you. I think it will take mom and dad some time to get used to the idea of you having a baby but they will accept it some time." He hugged me and I hugged back. This was nice.

"Thanks Aiden, I know at least someone in the family is going to be there for me. You know how grandma will act. She's all godly and will most likely have a heart attack when she finds out." I sighed letting go of Aiden.

"Yeah that could be a problem. Grandma will perform an exorcist on you thinking that you have some evil sprit inside of you. That will be fun to watch." I glared and then stood up.

I decided that I was going to go downstairs to see Michelle. "So, I'll see you later." Leaving the room I walked downstairs. Looking into the kitchen I saw Michelle scanning into my fridge.

"Hey saltshaker." I greeted using the name I had made for her when we were kids. She looked back and smiled. Taking out two apples, she tossed one to me.

"Hey sugarplum." Wow we can be really weird. I bit into my apple and then took a seat at the counter. Michelle hopped up next to me.

"So how you doing?" She asked looking over then taking a bite out of the apple she had in her hand.

"Okay I guess. Have you talked to Carter today?"

"Yeah he called this morning before you woke up. He wanted to know if you were okay. It was cute to, he was all worried. Very sweet." I laughed at the googliey face she was making. Well at least he cared.

"That's nice. What did you tell him?" I questioned.

She smiled a devious smile. "I told him you were missing him, all alone...in bed." I was going to die if she was telling the truth. She wouldn't do that would she?

"Michelle, tell me you are joking! I will kill you if you said that to him." I yelled taking her arms into my hands and squeezing. She laughed and then shook her head.
