| 12 | Can I be honest?
Ever since Shy'Bree had gotten shot every body has been trying to be calm and collective but honestly I can see every one is on edge and they're so protective over him now.
'' Tamar? Can we talk?'' My younger sister Tamare asked as she came into my room and stood in front of the door interrupting me from my thoughts. ''Sure what's up?'' I asked as I sat up from my bed and looked directly at her as she sat down on the chair near her. '' You have to promise not to tell any one not even your conscious should even know.'' She said seriously. '' It must be important if your being serious , I promise I won't tell any one if that's the case.''
'' I know I shouldn't have did it but I did anyways and I swear I didn't know it was going to turn out like this. I really thought we were serious and I guess we weren't that serious to him.'' She ranted as she stood up and paced back and fourth. '' Wait? what do you mean? you came to talk to me not any one else you can talk to me. I promise I wont judge you.'' I said truthfully.
'' Well. You can say I was in a long term relationship with my now ex-boyfriend now and we ... you know did it a month ago and I missed my cycle.'' She said as her voice got lower and she turned to face away from me.
'' Have you went and got a test?'' I asked getting really concerned. '' Well, that's why I'm here for.'' She said as she turned around and pulled out a paper bag out of her purse. '' What is that?''
''The test, be serious.'' She said in a duh tone voice. '' Oh, you want to take the test in my bathroom? with me here?'' I asked getting nervous. '' Please? I can't go to any one else , your the only one I really trust.'' She pleaded.
'' How long will It take?''
'' It says ten minutes.'' She says reading the box. '' Go take it then.''
We waited ten minutes for her to take the test , I was scared for her to. I don't know what I would if I was in her shoes , COULDN'T BE ME.
'' Okay, it's ready I'm just scared to look at it. Can you do it please?'' She asked coming out of the bathroom.
''Ew , You want me to touch the stick you peed on?'' I asked sarcastically trying to enlighten the mood she cracked a little smile. '' Please?'' She begged. '' Fine.'' I said as I got up to go into the bathroom to go see.
'' Your pregnant.'' I said handing her the test. I wasn't going to sugar code anything. She did what she did and now she's stuck between a wall , we all make mistakes and we have to fix them In order to become better.
'' Dammit.'' She raised her voice as she hit the wall and slid down the wall and buried her face into her arms as she whispered nothings to herself. '' Don't do that. Don't let yourself down. I'm here for you but now you have to own up to your mistakes and prove that you can do better than what any body else thinks of you. Okay?'' I asked as I rubbed her back and gave her encouraging but truthful words. '' Thank you, but I already know every one will look at me different , I will be judged. I won't be seen as sweet and innocent any more.'' She cried into her arms as she rocked back and fourth.
'' Listen here! At the end of the day it's you and us. Your family , no matter what you do we will have to support your decision and stand by you all the time. You can do this, I promise ... I'll be here and I'll help you. Your not alone.'' I said as I reached my hand out for her to take and get up. '' You have to stand on your own two feet now.''
'' I want to tell dad today. I don't want to hide anything from him , I want to get this rock off my back.'' Tamare said as she looked at herself in the mirror and turning around to look at me for conformation. '' You want me to go with you?'' I asked confused as I threw away the test in the waist basket. '' Yeah but I want to go now. I really want to call him and ask if he wants to go out to eat with you and I.''
'' A public place? Why?'' I asked . '' So he won't snap. So I will call him now okay?'' Tamare asked as she got her phone out of her back pocket and dialed his number. '' Okay.''
It was now around six-thirty, Tamare and I were now pulling up to Applebee's to meet with our dad. I feel like I'm more scared for me than Tamare , but I'm prepared.
'' You ready?'' I asked as we walked into the restaurant. '' More than ever.'' she whispered to me as she walked up to the booth where our dad was sitting waiting patiently.
'' Babies.'' he said as he smiled and got up to hug both of us and then sat down. '' Hey.'' we said in unison. '' What's up? I already know one of you guys want to tell me something so just let me know now.'' He said seeing right through our plan. '' Lets order first.'' I said trying to enlighten the mood.
'' Hello? My name is Stacy I will be your waitress. Is there anything I can help you guys with? Drinks , Food?'' The lady asked nicely.
'' Yes. Can I get the steak and potatoes with a glass of ice tea.'' I asked politely. No lie I was HUNGRY. '' And you?'' she asked as she wrote my order down. '' Same please.'' Tamare asked not really looking at the menu. '' Sure can do , what about you sir?'' She asked again waiting for his response. '' I'll just have fries and a cheeseburger with the bacon on it no cheese and a sprite.'' He ordered and the lady said her final words and walked away.
We finally got our orders after half of an hour of talking.
'' Now tell me what's been going on? why am I here?'' He asked as he stopped eating to look at us.
'' Promise you won't look at me any different. Dad I'm sorry , I know you might be disappointed in me.'' Tamare went on. '' Just say it.'' He forced.
'' I'm pregnant.''
