"Hey,call me back when you get this...Or when when you've got a minuet,we really need to talk.
No wait,you know what.Maybe just forget it.Cause by the time you get this...your number may be blocked."
I say into Mama's phone.I called my dad's phone.Dad has cheated on mama about seven times.But she's so vulnerable and innocent,and weak...she keeps forgiving him.Dads never home.He doesn't have a job.And he doesn't pay any of mama's bills.She does it all by herself.
I'm tired of dad taking advantage of mama.She doesn't deserve any of this.She ain't done nothin to him so I don't see his problem.
I was in the kitchen when my brother and mama ran in the house breathing heavily."CASSIE! YOU GOTTA SEE THIS,I MEAN YA JUST GOTTA!" Brother yells at the top of his lungs between breaths.
Mama just stayed there panting,not saying a word.Just staring at me and smiling.
I immediately get up as they start running back to wherever they were and follow em."Look! Just look at er! She's finally gone and done it! She's havin her baby!" Brother yells.
"I know how much you love race horses." Mama says."And we have all showin horses,but I can tell this filly ain't no showin horse." Mama continues.
"She's a racer!" Mama says excitedly.
I sit there staring at the baby in awe.Shes got long,solid legs.Sure to be used for racing.You can tell by the look of em.Mama looks at me lookin at the filly.She smiles aloft and speaks,"Ya know,she's all yours.Your brother has two horses and you ain't got one.I think your gonna get along fine."
I continue to stare at the filly.My eyes are bouta pop outa their sockets.I slowly turn my head towards mama,eyes still wide.
"Really?!" I ask.Brother stops looking at me smiling stupidly and instead looks at the baby as well.Still smiling he says,"Yep,me and mama have been plannin this since Sissy got pregnant.I think you'll like her.We've named her beauty cause that's what she is.Aint she pretty?"
I nod my head.
My name is Cassie Bridges.Im two days away from being fourteen.My big brother,who's sixteen,almost seventeen,is named Apollo Bridges.Mama says she studied Greek mythology and says that Apollo is the name of one of em.Music I think? I dunno.But it sure does explain why he's so good at singin and playin his guitar.Beauty's mama's name is Sissy.And dad's name is Micheal.But I don't like to talk about him so let's just leave it at that.
Beauty finally stood up on her feet.It took her about 30 minuets but she managed.I started to cry slightly.If this ain't the happiest moment of my life then I don't what is.
And the best part about it is that she's all mine!
This beautiful baby is mine.And no one can take her away from me.She'll always be mine.Forever and ever.
I love my baby!
Sissy starts to clean Beauty.I watch and my smile fades a bit.I just now start to realize that this is our eleventh horse.She's gonna cost us a lotta money.I feel bad for mama.Shes gotta pay for all them horses as it is,she doesn't need another one.
"Mama,sell her.Please"
I beg."What?! No way am I ever sellin this beauty! Why,she was just born! Why on earth would you want to sell your very own horse?!?" She says in disbelief."Mama,you gotta pay for all those other horses too.And that stupid dad of ours ain't helpin you pay for nothing.I hate him! I hate his guts!" I answer,enraged."Thats not something you need to worry bout' hon.We got plenty of money as is.Im perfectly fine with paying for everything.I won the lottery,and make lots of money from my job anyhow." She pets my head gently while saying this.I just sigh.As long as mamas happy.Im happy.
