Torn Apart... #Wattys2017

Say What Now!?

"mum I know you are joking just tell me already", I snapped back at my mum, she entered my room earlier this afternoon telling me my brother and I have a dinner this evening at a friend of hers house, like since when did my mum start having friends   "no dear, I'm not joking I'm being serious", my mum said, holding on strongly on the last bit of calmness for me                                                     "alright, what did Danny say about this when you told him?", I asked knowing fully well my brother would be of my opinion                                     "I heard my name. Any problem?", he said walking into my room.              "who are you and what have you done to my brother?", I asked super dramatically.                                          "oh would you shut up and get dressed", he said with a hint of humour in his voice.                           "aiit, but please do me the favour of leaving my room for my mum and I", I said whilst pushing him out of my room.                                                  "kids", my mum giggled from behind me.                                                "mothers", my brother and I chorused. We both knew we were all mum had, we are her backbone and pillar and we would do anything to make her smile. After about 30 minutes of dressing and arguing with mum I was finally all dressed in my grey sweater and black jeans coupled with my ever faithful converse            "but why?", Danny sighed when he saw me .                                               "what is it Daniel?", I asked in a sickly sweet voice knowing fully well that would put a stop to his complaints.

The ride to mums friends house was extremely quiet, it was quite obvious that mum had something to say, but it didnt take 5 brains to know that she wasn't ready, and I for one knows not to pressure people to talk.           "hmmp we here kids", mum said breaking the ice                                      "I'm not a kid" my brother retorted obviously trying to lighten the moment.                                                "like this?", I asked
"mom!" he shouted almost immediately
"babe don't get to your brother riled up, you know he is still growing", mum replied playing along
"wow mum just wow" he replied getting out of the car still forming vex, mum and I also got out laughing out loud.
"hey! Ain't you gonna come in?", a man in his early forties or late thirties asked showing off his pearly whit teeth.
"yeah Drake, we are", mum replied all too happy, hmmm what is going on here, Danny and I exchanged some knowing glances cue to grin... tonight is going to be an eventful night.

It's been about an hour at Drakes house, I found out he is really cool, he's known mum for a very long time now, like before I was born, he has 2 kids both girls on named Belle and the other Bella who happens to be my age mate. Belle seems very cool, she has this sassy black American girl attitude, hazel eyes, just like mine and her father's, while Bella wasn't around so I guess I'll be meeting her next time, wait did I just think of next time, wow that was shocking. There was a soft knock on Belle's door    "yeah, come on in" she replied
"just come downstairs, our folks said they've got something important to tell us" Danny said o'er the door "alright bro were coming", Belle replied.
"bro?", I questioned, quite shocked by her response.
"you'll see why soon" she replied mysteriously, this girl is creepy
"I heard that, next time try to think without saying it", she said patting my back whilst leaving the room
"are you going to leave your mouth open or come downstairs?", she shouted. It's official I may just like this girl and she attends my school making it better.

We've all been staring at our faces for the past 15 minutes and I'm honestly starting to get pissed
"okay if you are not saying anything, then lets go. Drake, Belle, it was nice meeting you, we look forward to another opportunity, bye" Danny said sounding quite irritated
"your mum and I are getting married" Drake responded
"you're welcome" Danny and I replied simultaneously
"your mum will soon become my mum and my dad yours" Belle said
"I know riiii SAY WHAT NOW!... oh my God this must waaaait am I dreaming?" I poured out all too confused to settle for one question
"It was obvious Wren" Danny said point blank
"so I'm the only surprised one here" I asked
"YEEEAAS" my mum slurred, not that she was drunk or something, but she does that when she is not sure of my outburst
"you are sure this is not a prank right?" I asked to no one in particular "yeah babe, its not a prank, I love your mum, I proposed to her and she said yes, soooooo we are getting married soon" Drake replied
"okay no problem. I've got school tomorrow and I kinda deserve my beauty sleep, sooo bye Drake, bye Belle see ya at school tomorrow, bye" I said finally walking out of the door, with mum and Danny right behind me.

The ride home was extremely quiet and I was quite grateful for that, we got home in no time and I just walked up to my room, not wanting to bother myself with any more information, school's tomorrow, I've got Poppy (my best friend) to catch up with, Bella (the queen bitch) to battle with and a whole load of crowd to deal with, I cannot add to it, not tonight not ever. I embraced the darkness come on me, I knew when my mum came to check on me though but the lazy me could not turn.
