Cal's Gal [ editing ]

prologue

Tatiana's P.O.V

I've known Cal ever since he was in the womb.

Well...  Just kidding.

(Not really..)

My mom was eighteen when she was pregnant with me, Calum's mom was her best-friend & she was also pregnant but she had a husband. My mom did not.

My father left us when he found out she was pregnant.

"I should of swallowed." my mom joked once when I was 5 years old, doodling on a blank piece of white paper.

I've always asked what she meant ever since that day.

Now that I'm old enough to know..

Talk about a childhood ruined.

My father left us because he accused of my mom sleeping with other men, which was a lie of course..

He thought I was a mistake from another man. My mother also told me that I had an older brother but my dad took him with him.

My mom had me on August 31, 1996.

So, yes I may be younger than Calum but trust me: I'm way less of an idiot than he is.

Who the hell wears underwear on their head and runs around the house yelling:

"I AM CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS. SAVIOR OF SKID-MARKS."

Later on, my mum remarried to a guy named Atticus Clifford who had a son named Michael at the age of 10, and at that time i was about 8-9 years old.

He never liked me.

He never liked the idea of my mum & his father together.

Every time I went near him, he would either ignore me or push me away.

One time, he even locked me out of the house because I was asking him if he wanted a hug.

[ flashback ]

"Hey Michael!" I said as I hopped over to Michael sitting under the tree in front of our house. "Do you want a cookie?"

"No. I hate you." he muttered, not bothering to look up. "I bet those taste like crap."

"Why would they taste like crap? Mum made them.." I replied, trying to fight back tears because of how rude he was.

"Because you and your mum are full of crap!" He yelled in my face and ran away, slamming the front door making a huge bang noise.

I sighed & sat down on the swing he was sitting on and slowly ate the cookies my mum made as I teared up.

Why did he hate me so much?

What have I done to make him hate so much?

I just wanted to be the stereotypical, normal brother & sister. I didn't want him to hate me for the rest of life.

I gazed at the clear blue sky, the warm summer wind blew in my face.

"Hey T!" I heard a voice from not too far away.

I slowly turn my head to see Cal skipping over to me with a handful of daises.

"I picked these just for you! Hope you like em!" Cal chirped with a huge smile on his face

I took the flowers from him & sniffed them then looked up to the happy looking lad. My heart suddenly didn't feel any weight & it felt like as if my whole day was made again.
