Chapter 22

Grow up!

Becca's POV

She was right, everything she said was true. We had no right to be upset, angry, hurt, or bothered. We had no right to feel as if there was an attachment between us, when really there wasn't and possibly may never be. We had no right to possibly destroy their lives, and we had no right to act immature as if we were in grade school again. Everything she said was true. Every word, every sentence, every syllable. We were just dumb not to realize what was going on with us.

The smell of rain traveled through my windows, but I didn't care. I love the gray clouds and mild darkness that filled the air, I love the calmness I feel as I hear each drop hit the wet pavement. I love how I feel so at ease, so peaceful, so relaxed. I love how I feel like a I am one with the world. I feel like my home is my safe haven and no one could destroy me while i'm inside. When I finally feel completely relaxed the cracking sound of thunder was heard along with the sight of bright bolts of lightning. All of a sudden my haven was no longer safe. It was destroyed by thoughts I knew I had to face. Thoughts of ...

Flashback

You guys are hopeless!...They are not yours. They are single, and it's selfish, and immature of the two of you to treat them like they've done something wrong! You guys should apologize for being idiotic teenagers. You want these men who are too grown up for your antics. Grow up and figure out what you want before they do it for you. A guy is only going to chase a girl for so long. Besides the way the two of you are acting only reminds them of your age.

End of Flashback

The fact that my 15 year old sister who should be more naive, and immature than me was telling me off really put things into perspective. I guess she had enough of both Charlie and I ranting as soon as we arrived at the room. Looking back now I feel stupid for being upset that James had a sexual fantasy about some other girl who wasn't me. Skylar made me realize that I shouldn't be upset. James isn't my boyfriend, and I am not his girlfriend. I bet Charlie feels the same way.

I closed the window and sat down on my bed. The pain was back. The dull pain that always occurred near my belly button or my lower right abdomen. The pain wasn't excruciating but it wasn't pleasant either. I decided to shrug it off because It comes and goes as it pleases.

Today is Saturday, and I have absolutely nothing to do. Charlie is away in Oregon in till Tuesday, and Skylar is probably with her boyfriend Jay. It really is sad that the one guy I want is someone I can't have. Before I can feel even more pathetic, my phone rang with an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Becca, Hey it's me."

"Father, Why are you calling me from an unknown number?" I asked.

"I just got that new IPhone, so I decided that since I have a new phone might as well change my number."

I mentally rolled my eyes.

"You should buy me one too.. I'm tired of having such an old model."

It's true... For 3 years I have been stuck with the IPhone 4.

"Sure, I'll have to sneak one of them for you without your mother knowing. You know how she gets sometimes.

"Oh yeah I know. So what's up? Why are you calling?" I asked.

"What I can't call my own daughter?"

"You can, It's just you don't do it often."

"Are you saying i'm a terrible father?"
