Chapter Fourteen
"Alicia Lewis." The principle calls my name and I walk across the stage. He hands me my diploma and shakes my hand "Yeah!" Brian yells from the crowd "That's my little sister!" He screams making everyone laugh. "Go Alicia!" He continues cheering even after I've gotten off stage.

"I'm so proud of you!" My mom squeals walking up to me and I smile. She goes to hug me and Brian knocks her out of the way picking me up and squeezing me half to death. "Brian put me down." I struggle to say since I can't fully breathe because of him. He sets me down and I adjust my Graduation cap on my head. "Did you hear me? I think she heard me." He nods "You are so annoying." I laugh as he gives me a real hug. "You're gonna take that back in like two minutes." He grins "Why?" I ask "Twin!" I hear Kayla squeal and I turn around so fast I'm certain I gave myself whiplash. I see Kayla standing ten feet away in blue jeans and a purple blouse I sent to her for Christmas "Kayla!" I yell and we run to each other nearly knocking ourselves down as we pull each other into a hug. "Oh my God, I can't believe you're here." I say pulling back slightly, but not releasing her from my grasp "I'm actually seeing you in person." She says, her voice and face matching mine. Stunned. Yet. Happy. "I love you so much." I say hugging her again "I love you more." She cries "I love you most." I say crying as well "No, shush." I giggle "Am I still annoying?" Brian whispers in my ear. "We need to go ahead and get back to the house." James interrupts walking away.

When we get home, there's a surprise party waiting for me. My birth mom, my sister and my dad flew in to see me. I cried when I saw them. We caught up for a few hours, and I told them about the scholarship I earned from the literature program. Brian made it a point to remind that it was with the help of my English teacher. More than once. Only Kayla and myself caught on thankfully. Eventually, they left making me cry again. But I'm not allowed to see them anyway so I'm thankful for the few hours I got. Now Kayla and I are sitting in the backyard with our feet in the pool. "I'm kind of mad you didn't tell me you were coming; I would have cleaned my room." I joke making her laugh. "Can we talk?" Joey walks up behind Kayla and myself and we turn around "No." Kayla answers for me, recognizing him from pictures I sent. "Excuse me?" He asks confused "How many of your students have you slept with?" Kayla asks "How long has she known?" He asks "Since the first time we slept together." I shrug standing up "She tells me everything. And I don't like what I've been hearing, leave her alone." Kayla says "Let's go twinie." I say and Kayla stands up as well. "Alicia," Joey starts "Joey, you're lucky I even made sure you got home okay last week Don't push it, or me." I try to walk away and he stands in front of me "Why did you then?" He asks "What?" "Why did you make sure I got home okay?" He asks "I don't have time for this." I scoff trying to walk away again and he blocks my path "No why did you?" He asks again "Leave me alone." I snap "Why?" I try to push past him and he grabs me, Brian sees and he walks up to us "Why?" He urges "Because I'm pregnant." I blurt out leaving Kayla, Brian and Joey stunned. "Twin, why didn't you tell me?" I go to answer and but Joey speaks up first "I guess she doesn't tell you everything." He looks to Kayla "I don't like you." She says to him "Bitch I don't like you either." He replies "Whoa," I knock his hand away from me "Don't get your tongue cut out. Because talking to her, like that, will definitely make that happen bitch. Now get the fuck out of my way, before I claw your eyes out." I say just as heated as the gates of hell "You're pregnant?" Brian asks "And you, what the fuck did you do to my sister to make Kayla not like you?" Brian turns on Joey "I didn't do anything; we weren't even together." He says honestly about us not being together, Brian looks at me to answer for him "I caught my favorite teacher fucking another student." I repeat his words from our argument two weeks ago. "Leave." Brian orders him "Now!" He yells "Wait, are you keeping it?" Joey asks "I haven't decided yet." I cry "Dad is gonna flip." Brian says more to himself than to me. I start crying at Brian's words and Joey wraps me in a hug that I instantly pull away from. "Don't cry." He begs "How can I not!" I yell "I'm pregnant, by my former teacher who apparently fucks any student who asks!" "Alicia keep your voice down." Brian grabs my arm and Joey storms off into the house. "I really don't have a good feeling about that." Kayla says looking towards the house and we all walk in after him. When I go inside I see the only person left at the party is James friend and his wife. "We need to talk." Joey says to my parents as we walk in the room "Alicia is pregnant." He says before we can stop him. I freeze, tears streaming down my face. "Alicia is this true?" My mom asks and my lack of response answers for me. James face turns red "You're pregnant?" He asks and I nod "Are you sure?" He asks, his knuckles turning white from how hard he's balling his fist. "Yes." I whimper "Well who's the father?" Mom asks crying "Me." Joey admits, everyone but Kayla and Brian are shocked at his confession. James looks more shocked than anyone. "No," mom says "No, honey tell me he's lying?" She begs "I'm sorry mom." I sob "Did you force her?" James says quietly and we all look at him unable to speak "Did you force her?" He yells lunging at Joey punching him in the nose "Stop!" I scream as Joey punches him back. Just before James can hit him again I wedge myself between them "I said stop!" I yell "Alicia move." James growls "He's not forcing me to do anything." I roll my eyes and look at Joey "Forget I exist," I say pushing him "I'll definitely forget you do." I spit before storming up stairs.
