The Bet

Reviling the past

Jamie's pov

Wow! He really is a good kisser,but he is going to give me some trouble. I can't have him get to close bad thing happen to people who are to close to me. My dad is a drunk and my mother is not even here to see me turn eighteen.
When I got home all I could think about was how to get close to Nate without him getting to attached. I heard that he was a foster kid or is one. He got bumped around the system and ended up in some really bad places before this. The home that he was in after his parents abandoned him was rumoured to have roaches cralwing on the walls. Mice ruling the kitchen and bed bugs that all the kids slept on the floor. I thought to myself who would abandon their son like that? Leaving him to fend for himself. How could you sleep not knowing if your child was ok. Not knowing if he was hungry,hurt,or even being abused. I fell asleep with that thought.

Today I have to stay away from Nate when I hear a ding. My phone had two unread messages one from Nate and the other from Cat. Cat said that she can't pick me up today she is sick. Nate asked if I want to hang out around seven. So I told Cat to feel better and Nate that I would love to.

Oh no! That means I only have forty-five minutes to get ready. I rushed to the bathroom and to the fastest shower of my life. When I was done I headed down stairs but I stopped in my tracks when I heard the sound of my dad and some women. My heart sanked and melted because he was in my mom's room. Her stuff is still in there and he is in there with another women!Anger bubbled within me I was suddenly so mad I could burn the house down with my dad in it. I went to my room packed a bag of clothes and p.j's two pairs of shoes I won't be back till Monday. I called ms. Gonzalez and asked her if it was ok to spend the weekend at her house I don't think I can look my dad in the eyes right now.

When I got to school I was still boiling when Nate approached me.

"Hey baby"he said with a happy smile.
My face suddenly turned down his happy mood.
"What is wrong ?" He asked concerned.

"I am fine ok I will see you at seven don't worry about it ok?." I said quickly and walked away or attempted to. He stoped me in my tracks and saw I was already pissed off.

"Meet me at the diner ok?." He said leaving me be mad.

Later that day I headed to Cat's house I already called her and told her what had happened she new all the things my dad does and says to me. When I approached her room she told me that I should wear her light blue jeans and her flower crop top with my purple heels. I did as told and I looked hot or so she said.

When I got to the diner I saw that Nate was already seated and drinking a milkshake. I was not that late maybe five minutes that is all. He looks as though he was here for thirty minutes already. Well it is good to know that he is always early. That is a good quality to have. When he saw me standing the window looking at him he gave off a weird vibe as though he thought it was weird that I was just staring at him for a good minute I mean I was. When I sat do at the table he looked me deep in the eyes like he was staring into my soul. I broke the minute of silence by saying

"So how long were you waiting her for me?"I asked curiously.

"About 15 minutes."

"Oh I thought it was more"

"Nah. I like to be ten minutes early for everything"

"Oh sorry I was late."I said solemnly

"No baby don't worry about it you look goregus."
I tried not to blush but I couldn't help it.
"Aww how sweet tell me about yourself."

"What do you want to know?"

"Anything" I said very heart felt

"Alright baby let's see I am seven teen,I have a brother don't know where he is. My sister stayed with my parents because she um.. never mind and I am trying to get a football scholarship.that is about it baby"

"What happened to your sister?"

"I had a feeling you were gonna ask that well you see baby I don't talk about my past."

"Alright alright I get that."

"How about you tell me about yourself."

"Ok, I am seventeen I skipped a grade in middle school. I live with my um.. dad. My mother passed away about four years ago. And ah I spend most of my time at Cat's house I basically live there."
He looked at me like he thought my life was perfect then he flat out askes how my mom died!
"Um.. excuse me?"

"How did your mom die?"He said really interested.

"Alrighty then ok here goes nothing. I remember it being a day in the fall October 12 2013. We were all riding in the car the night before my dad had a bit to much to drink he is a big drinker. I remember us singing her favorite song easy and as we approached the adituditon we stop suddenly and my mom did not have her seat belt on and she was turned facing me when the car suddenly stopped. I will never get the image of my mom being flung out the window and landed on another car.and my father asleep not because of the crash he caused it he fell asleep hind the wheel. And before the paramedics came he woke up screaming that it was all my fault that if j hadn't had an audition she would not be lieing there infront of us and the window would not be broken. He said that if he would have just told me that I could not sing or play the piano that non of this would have happened."
He looked at me as my eyeliner ran down my face. My tears formed a puddle on the table it was grey because of the eyeliner. It looked like a pool of sorrow.

Wow! That is some deep shit. I know how she feels I was abandoned when I was five I cried every single night for one year until one day my foster day beat my ass one night. And I have not cried since. I feel for her. Her own father killed her mother well basically.
