The Changing{put on hold}

Chapter 17

Demetri's POV:

"Call me crazy" she says proudly, making me roll my eyes.

"Shut up" I tease her.

She scrunches up her face all cutely and I eternally sigh. "You completely ruined the moment De"

"I didn't-" pulling away from her, "Tell you to be all marshmallowy"

"Marshmallowy?" she asks, confused by my outstanding wording.

"Yeah, look it the fuck up"

"You really shouldn't curse, Jena's gonna pick it up." she says, hitting a nerve.

I dont want that, who know what'll happen if my moms little princess screws up. I'm not going to take the chance.

But of course, Sky can't know that.

"I dont give a crap" I lie.

Staring her dead in the eye I see something flash across her face.

"Shit" she says.

"Dont say that!" I snap at her.

"Fuck" she says even louder, challenging me.

"Shut the fuck up" I scold.

"Stop cussing" she says, after thinking it over.

"No fucking way" I say with a smirk.

"Have it your way" she says, glaring.

I see her take in a deep breath before screaming out and completely impressing me.

"Peeeeeennnnnnniiiiiiiiiisssssss!!"

I clamp my hand over her mouth and shush her.

"What was that?" I ask, scowling over at her.

"I was cussing-" she says muffled by my hand. Taking it off of her mouth she continues. "-To get you to stop cussing" she states like it made perfect sense.

"Dont cuss babe, its not like you" I say, putting my hand up to her flushed skin.

She embraces my touch and sighs, "Im sorry."

"For what?"

"For shouting 'penis' at the top of my lungs" she admits bashfully.

"I'm sure you'll be shouting much more when Kody is with you" looking down as I speak.

I can feel her stare and start laughing as she flinches away from me.

"That's not funny" she screeches, ice lacing her voice.

"Whoa, okay. Damn chill." I tease her. Trying to lighten the mood.

I see her start pouting. "I am chill"

"No, you aren't" I chuckle.

I lean in to hug my best friend, about five seconds in she pulls away.

"I've gotta go. To work, remember?" she announces.

I look up at her annoyed and puff "Oh yeah sure, you know what? Why dont you just go."

"I'm sorry De" She says smirking.

"Come later?"

"I dont know, I might be with Kody. Or my mom...-" she trails off at the sight of my glare.

"Come later?" I practically demand.

"Come later. Gosh you are so needy." she teases.

"Oh shut up and go, Skylar Marie Wes" I playfully throw at her.

"Oh I'm leaving, Mr Young.

And with that she walks out the door and down the stairs. Groaning, I stand up and pad out to the top of the stairs, to find Skylar apologizing to my mother.

"I'm really sorry for using those profanities, Michelle"

"Oh its no biggie Sky" my mother says cheerfully.

I watch them exchange a few more words before Skylar leaves.

I stand still at the top of the stairs as my mother closes the front door. She whips around to face me, eyes blazing.

Not knowing why she's so furious but suddenly pissed as well I return her glare.

We go at it for a minute or so before she breaks away, I choose it as my time to slip back into my haven. My bedroom.

∆

Laying on my bed I think about random crap. But what gets to me is my Mother.

Yes, she gave birth to me. And yes she is my legal guardian. But the name 'mom' is thrown around so casually. And that woman out there does not deserve that title.

Mother is obligatory, mom however... There is no 'Mom' in my life.

Just like there's no 'dad'.

Or even 'father'.

There's just nothing.

Of course, I had a father. He looked just like Jena. Curly black hair, and sparkling eyes.

He was a big, heavyset man. The kind of guy you would see as a construction worker, or body builder. Thinking about him makes me smile, especially his big handlebar mustache. No matter how much we yelled at him to shave it, he never did. But I couldn't imagine him without it.

That man was my dad. The thing that killed my dad, was not a man.

A/N: Yay! Daddies and Demetri's POV!  I'm so happy for the 50+ votes! I'm absolutely amazed by how well this is doing. I'm a little worried though. We are 17 chapters in, and I dont even think we have been through a week in the book time yet:) so I'll have to work on that. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it less descriptive and shorter, or just keep it the same and end it where it ends. We'll see! Thanks again! Love y'all!
