Cryptic Secrets

Chapter 6

   I screamed and covered my mouth. Were they really trying?

All of a sudden, I felt sick to my stomach. Natalie screamed my name as my face turned red and green at the same time. I ran to the bathroom in horror.

'What were they thinking? Did they want a child? They are only 15.' I thought to myself.

  I was freaking out when I started gasping for air. 'Why? Now of all times do I have to have an asthma attack.' Gasping for air I tried to reach my inhaler, but it was in the cabinets and I was on the floor. Thinking to myself,'Why can't anyone hear me?'

I was starting to feel light headed. Then I could hear Natalie shouting my name I was trying to scream, but it only made my head hurt worse. Now I couldn't hear anything.

   "Veronica....Veronica!!!! Wake up please wake up!!!!!" Natalie screamed as I sat in the tub unconscious. She shook me and shook me trying to awaken me. While Natalie was trying to help, I could fairly hear John and Naomi talking about me.

  "Your sister needs to bud out of our sex life!!!" Naomi silently yelled.

  "Well your sister needs to bud out too." John answered right back with a snappy tone.

  When I finally woke up, I was laying on Natalie's couch in her living room.

"Well good afternoon sleepy head." Natalie said as she silently crept into the room.

"Hey." I said with a groggy attitude. "Where is John and Naomi?"

"John is in the kitchen and Naomi is in her room." Natalie answered quickly as if she knew and practiced it.

"Ohh. What's to eat? I'm starving." I retorted meaning it.

"Whatever you want." she said perking up a little.

With breakfast up to me, I chose to go to Waffle House. When we got there, all John did was sit there and give Natalie dirty looks.

"John, why are you mean mugging Natalie?" I said giggling.

"Because. Both of you are ruining Naomi and I's lives." John said as quickly as I could react.

"You will not talk to me in that tone." I said trying to sound strict and firm.

"Really Veronica? I know you want to be mom and all but the fact is you can't. So just suck it up and deal with it." John shouted loud enough was sure everyone in Waffle House heard.

"John, please stop yelling and you will do what I tell you to do!" I said as he turned to look at Naomi.

"STOP TELLING ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE!!" he yelled.

Now, people were really starting to notice us they getting up and looking at us.

"...John please just sit and calm down."

"NO I'M NOT DOING WHAT YOU SAY!!!"

"John!"I said as I heard people start to gasp and scream at John raising his hand and.......beating me.

All I saw were flashing lights and police surrounding us. The diner workers had called the police to come arrest John.

"I didn't do anything!!! I'm innocent!!" John screamed as they pulled him out. Then I was out again.
