The story of my life (wattys2019)

Chapter 41

Then one day, she fell pregnant of him, she was just 19 years, when that happened and tony was twenty, your grandfather sent her away not like forever, he said she should get rid of you, Tony too wasn't ready to become a father, since he was homeless and jobless he had no family. She too she wasn't ready to become a young mother, s-she." Charlie pause glancing at me before returning his gaze to the window, he sigh.

"She hated you, she call you names and was ready to abort you, tony supported it, but I stopped her from doing such, I told her that she couldn't take your life because she can't give life, I also told her that it will be committing murder, at first she argued and protested but I reasoned her, she accepted but in one condition, she will give you away as soon as you are born, she said I could take you and do whatever I wish. I tried talking her to it but she refused saying you die or live far away from her. So we agree to it, the instant you are out of her womb, I'll take you.
After the nine months you were born and I was there right by her side, the nurse brought you to her, but she refused to see her baby, she ask that I should take you, but I insisted then she grabbed you and immediately your cry ceased and you stare at her, she was hypnotize, just staring with her lips cracking in a smile and her eyes lighting up. I didn't and I don't understand what happened but I think she fell in love of you." He smiled.

"Then she kept you, and you changed her life, she became the perfect Jessica I knew, and tony had to agree even if he was furious. That was all till now."

"So.. Her family kinda disowned her because she kept me?"

"Uh... Don't be this straight Alex, it was not your fault."

I lay on my side facing away from Charlie with the cover raised to my chin, "Good night Charlie." I mumbled.

"Night Lex, sleep tight." He walked to the door switching the light off, "oh, tomorrow is school don't forget." The door closed with a bump.

I waited for some more minutes before slipping out of bed and walking to the bathroom, doing what I thought was right and returning back to bed.

I opened my locker, retrieving some books while thinking about what Charlie told me, it hurt me to know that every one wished I was dead, I sigh.

"Hey dude?" I almost flinched at the voice but recognized it as Jay's. I was in no mood for an argument.

"Hey! Everyone look who is back! Lexrat!" He yelled drawing attentions and soon enough the hall was murmuring. 

"Where have you been huh?"

I clench and unclench my fist, before closing my locker and leaving without saying a word surprising everyone. I walk to the principal's office away from the crowd and jay, I knock twice before hearing come in.

I made my way slowly in the room not making eye contact with the principal.

"Take a seat Alexander, is good to see you once again."

"Thanks?" I was a little confused at this welcome, normally he is a little harsh toward me.

"You don't have to explain anything, Charlie had and I hope you are fine."

I nodded.

"Don't worry I will tell no one, you can trust me, If you've got any problem you can tell me."

"Thanks sir," I said softly as he smile and nodded.

I exited the office to the English class. I took a deep breath before pushing the door open and walking in the room all heads turn to stare at me, I find an empty sear and settled down.
