"This sucks." Melanie said.
Kailey, Melanie, and I were sitting in the living room waiting for Lexi to get dressed so we could go to breakfast.
"It's only for a day." Kailey said.
"Yea, but still." Melanie said.
"I'm sure you'll find something to do to pass the time."
"Okay I'm ready." Lexi said.
We made our way to the beach where the picnic tables were. I wonder what they have for breakfast? I hope it's waffles.
"After you eat line up by the main cabin so that you all can thank the people that allowed us to stay here." Ms. Leah said.
"I wonder who owns this?" Lexi said.
"Whoever it is they're lucky." Melanie said.
"Whatever I just want some food." I said.
"Your pregnant ass."
"Hey girl has to eat. She's eating for three." Kailey said.
"Goodbye. I'm leaving y'all because I'm hungry and none of y'all are getting up to get any food." I said.
I got up and made my way over to where the food was.
"Here." Braxton said handing me a plate.
"Thanks." I said.
"It's the least I can do without people getting suspicious."
"I have a question."
"What is it?"
"How did you know which cabin to put that note in?"
"Because that's the room I assigned to you."
"How did you put it in the cabin you were with us the entire time?"
"Remember when I had you spend the night by your parents?"
"Yea."
"That's when I did it."
"But how..."
"I thought you said you had one question not a million?"
"But I want to know."
"I told you everything would make sense eventually."
I walked off upset with him. Why can't he just tell me?
"Hey Phoebe what's wrong?" Kyle asked.
"Nothing." I said.
"Come on you can tell me."
"Kyle I'm not in the mood."
"So just talk to me. Promise you'll feel better after."
"Kyle just leave me alone okay."
And I walked off from him too. I know that I was mad at Braxton for no reason, but right now I was pissed because he didn't want to tell me what I wanted to know. I'd get over it later.
"Phoebe wait up!" Kyle said.
Won't he leave me alone.
"Kyle leave me alone. As you can see I'm cleary pregnant and don't have time to deal with you or your childishness. So for your sake and the sake of whatever pride and dignity you have left quit hitting on me." I said.
"So what if you're pregnant? I wanna be with you Phoebe. I'll help you with your babies. Just give me a chance. Please?" he said.
"No."
"Why not?"
This time I stormed off towards my cabin. I needed to be alone.
****
Someone was shaking me. I opened my eyes and saw Kailey.
"What?" I mumbled sleepily.
"We were worried about you. Why did you come back to the cabin?" she said.
"Because Kyle was annoying the hell out of me."
"What'd he do this time?"
"He was trying to get me to go out with him."
"If Noah and Johnny knew about this."
"So why did you wake me up?"
"Because Braxton knows you didn't eat anything and he wants to see you in the mesh hall."
"But I don't want to move."
"He said that if you didn't come to him he'd come to you. And he didn't care if everyone stared at him weird."
"Fine I'm getting up."
I got out the bed the best I could and made my way to the mesh hall with Kailey. I needed to sleep not eat. I was fat enough already. Kailey left me and I went inside. When I walked in Braxton was talking to a woman.
Wait that's his sister.
"She's here." Claudia said.
Braxton turned around and smiled at me.
"I'll be right back I'm gonna go get you a plate." he said.
"No." I said.
"Phoebe you didn't eat you have to eat."
"No."
"Why not?"
"BECAUSE I'M FAT ENOUGH!" I yelled before storming outside.
I wasn't going to eat anymore. The boys are big enough and I can go five more months without eating. Right? Whatever Braxton couldn't and wouldn't make me eat.
