No fairytale ending

Chapter 6: Movies and anger

"Alexis is pregnant...... and Cole is the father."

I just sat there. Not exactly knowing what to feel. I was feeling many different things. Saddness, anger, confusion, hurt, betrayal.

"Des" Jess said softly."Are you ok".

I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. I felt tears start to well up in my eyes. I was with Cole for 2 years. He told me he loved me and I was stupid enough to believe it. Obviously if he really did love me he wouldn't of dumped me and then get another girl pregnant within 2 weeks.

The tears started to build up more in my eyes as they threatened to spill over. I fought to keep them back. I really did not want to cry over that jerk. He obviously didn't care about me anymore, so why should I care about him? The trouble was, I did care about him. I did still wish he was mine.

"It's ok Des" Alex said. "You can cry. You don't always have to act so brave".

"Just say something funny and make me laugh. I'll be fine".

"Des sometimes it's better to just cry and not just keep things bottled up" Chris said. Until now, I forgot he was even in the room.

"I don't like crying. Alex has never even seen me cry and we've been best friends since elementary school. Therefore, I will not cry" I said barely being able to hold back the tears.

"Would it make it better if we left?" Chris asked.

"No cause I'm not gonna cry" I told them sternly. "Now lets find something else to do"

**********

Later that night around 11:00, we were all sprawled out on the floor watching a movie. I declared horror movies out the second Jess asked what kind of movie we sould watch. I got a lot of greif for that decicion. In the end it all worked out though. We agreed on an action movie and ended up watching Knight and Day.

By the time the movie was over we were all tangled in a pile sleeping. At around 1 in the morning I woke up when I heard the door slam. I knew it was my brother Daniel. He always worked till this time. Then I heard footsteps start walking to the living room; where we were all sleeping. I knew if he saw all of us on the floor, he would flip.

Right before he turned the corner, I heard footsteps come running down the steps.

"Oh Daniel, your home" I heard my mom say.

"Ya. Sorry if I woke you up. I was just gonna go watch tv in the living room" Daniel replied. I was really hoping my mom would tell him he should just go to sleep. For some reason, he almost always listened to her even though he was 18.

Daniel and one of my other brothers Demetry were twins. They were both seniors in high school. Daniel was only older than Demetry by 3 minutes, but always had to remind him that he was older. It got really annoying sometimes.

"Don't go in the living room right now. Their sleeping" my mom told Daniel. Oh mother. Why did she have to tell him?

"What do you mean, 'They'?" he asked.

"Destiny and her friends. They fell asleep watching a movie" my mom told him. I was so happy she at least didn't tell him who all was over. I heard him go upstairs. See? What did I tell you? Mama's boy. With that I soon fell back asleep.

*************

When I woke up the sun was shining through the curtains. I saw Jess and Chris were still sleeping but Alex was just laying there with his eyes open in a very awkward position. He looked very uncomfortable but knew if he moved, it would wake up the others. He was too nice. Lucky for him, I wasn't.

I started to get up and heard groans. I turned my head to see Jess and Chris waking up. Alex was almost up and looked like he was struggling. I was sort of struggling myself. I mean Alex had his foot in my face and kicked me when he started to get up. On top of that one of my legs was being used as a pillow by Jess and the other was underneath Chris. One of my hands was underneath Chris' neck and the other was stuck between Chris' back and alex's knee. It doesnt sound that hard to get get untangled from but when your trying not to step on anyone, its difficult. 

I managed to get untangled but when I was stepping over Chris, I tripped over Alex's foot. Everyone was wide awake when they heard the loud 'thump'. Once I told them I was okay, they all burst out laughing. Obviously laughter they'd been holding back. They all started imitating me falling.

I didn't mind it. I was used to it having 4 brothers and all. But I decided I would make them feel bad. As I said before, I'm not always a nice person. I started fake crying and let fake tears fall down my face. Lets just say I've had a lot of practice with this kind of stuff.

They all imidiatly stopped laughing and started saying how they were only kidding and all that shit. When I couldn't keep the laugh in any longer I burst out laughing. They all gave me confused looks. A look of realization came to Jess' face.

"Don't feel bad. She was just faking to make us feel like we hurt her feelings" Jess told them. She just knew me too well.

I heard someone running down the stairs and hoped it was just my mom. Or I guess it would be ok if it was Demetry. He was the least protective of me. Not that he wasn't protective, because believe me he is. He just doesn't get as mad if I tell him a good reason. I was happy when it was him that walked through the door. He knew Jess and Alex but when his eyes landed on Chris, anger filled his entire face.

"Okay before you do or say anything, let me explain" I said quickly.

"Can you explain as quickly as you said that?" he asked with a smirk on his face.

"If I shorten it up a whole lot" I told him smiling.

"Shorten away!" he yelled.

I took a deep breath and then began. "We went to lunch and bowling yesturday and then came back here and we were watching Knight and Day and we fell asleep and we just now woke up" I said all in one breath as quickly as possible.

"He looked over all of us one more time and let out a sigh. "Ok I trust you but you probably have about 1 minute to get rid of him before Derek comes down to go to work" he told us pointing to Chris. "And I would hurry if I were you because you know Derek already isn't a big fan of Chris" Demetry said over his shoulder.

I turned and looked at Chris who was giving me a confused look.

"What?" I asked him.

"Why doesn't Derek like me?" he asked me like he really was upset about it.

"It's just an overly protective brother thing" I told him.

"That's not a good reason" he said. just then I heard footsteps coming down the steps.

"I'll explain later. Right now we have to get you hidden" I said to him pushing him into the closet.

Derek reached the bottom step right when I closed the door. He gave me a look Iv'e seen many times before. A look that basically said 'what the hell is going on and tell me the truth right now or this isn't going to end well'.

"I-I..... lost an earing" I said covering my ears. I wasn't even wearing earing for petes sake!!!

Derek nodded. "Whats the earing look like?" he asked me knowing I wasn't telling the truth.

I just said the first thing that came to mind. "Invisable".

Derek walked over to me, pushed me aside, and opened the closet door reveiling a confused looking Chris. Derek turned to me. His jaw clentched tightly and his face completely full of anger.

"What the hell is this stupid kid doing in our coat closet?!?!?!?!?!" he screamed cauing me to jump bak a bit.

I just stood there speachless. The only other time I had seen him this mad was when he found out I was dating Jay. My mind froze, not knowing what to say. I knew Demetry would defend me but it didn't matter. I knew Derek was definantly furious and I knew Dustin and Daniel would take his side. Shit, I was really in for it this time.......
