Our Love

Chapter 4: oopsies

So sometime in late January late at night I was talking to him on my laptop and he was like is there really no way that you can call me. So I got the idea to call him on my house phone I'll just call him privately so that he wouldn't see the area code or be able to call the number back. And so I did and I heard his voice again and it made me so happy. And I knew he was happy about it too.

Put called him from my house a couple times and know one knew. So I thought it'd be okay. But one time we were on the phone and the phone made a weird feed back noise so I hung up and it said line is use meaning some one else was on the phone. I got back on the phone and he was saying babe are you there? And I panicked and was like hang up. Then I heard foot steps coming to my room and it was my moms boyfriend and he barged into my room and told me to give him the phone so I did.

I was so scared. He then woke my mom up and told her. And it's 1 in the morning. And she started yelling and asked for my laptop but before she did I texted him saying don't answer if anyone calls. But it didn't say that exactly because I was shaking so much I couldn't type right. My mom was asking me about who is was and I just layed there silently and she was like oh my god you're freaking me out. She thought I was talking to someone I randomly met online. But I lied to her and said it was someone a year older than me and that I'd tell her who it was in the morning. Then she went to bed and I was so scared.

The next day when I woke up and I got In the car I was quiet, expecting my moms boyfriend to say something. But he didn't and I'm glad he didn't. At school I told a few people and I wasn't that scared to go home but I was dreading talking about it. Honestly I wanted to tell my mom about him, I wanted to tell her about how much I like him but I couldn't because I'm not being honest with him. I wanted to tell him but I was scared that if I did, I'd lose him and I didn't want that.

When my mom asked me about it I lied and said it was a freshmen named Ben from the high school I'm my town. Then she asked for his last name and I told her I couldn't pronounce because I couldn't. I wasn't sure if she bought it or not at the time. But the next day I was out shopping with her and I brought up Megan and she was like "Oh yeah Megan knows Ben?" And I said "Yeah," then I paused realizes that, that's not what I wanted her to know so then I said "Well I mean I don't know." And then my mom proceeded to tell me she found out who he was, where he was from, and his name and everything.

She wouldn't tell me how she found out but then I just told her who he was and that he was the guy who put the drunk lady on my porch. And then she didn't really say much about it. After that my mom and I didn't really discuss Ben. I talked to him after it happened and he wanted to make sure I was okay and that everything was okay. Which it was so we continued on.
