Chapter 1 ∞ The Unfortunate Truth

// I put a picture of Becca Atkinson as the attachment for what she should look like for you guys ;) //

<~Becca's POV~>
"WAKE UP" I heard blaring in my ear, but I didn't care to look, I could tell it was Brad. "WILL YOU WAKE UP ALREADY?!" "go away" I mumbled "beauty sleep needs to be on point.." I heard Kenzie say "Oh give up already, will you just leave her alone.. you're doing it all wrong... watch and learn" I could feel her smirk. "Ok bye Brad! imma go get KFC!" but I still didn't budge. "Well what the fuck is happening? she's always helps me get my daily dose of chicken.."

Then I heard another voice, scream so loud, as if it were possessed by satan, "BRADLEY ATKINSON!" I finally sat up, "Good job ya dingus, you angered the she-devil" Kenzie started laughing really hard causing Brad to get all fed up and mad, they don't always get along... ever really... as he lurched towards her, fists ready, it was to late for him, the she-beast was at the door, "uh oh" I quietly muttered. She must have heard me because she glared right at me, she grabbed Brad's wrist and pulled him out of Kenzie and my room and I heard her say, "Ya know, just because you don't want him meeting Becca, which I don't understand why not, you can't force her out of her own house Bradley." then I
heard footsteps walking away, they were Brad's "...yeah.. I know... I just don't want her to take him away, he's the only friend I can actually keep..." I frowned at the sound of that, I know it's hard enough for him to make friends as it is with his conditions...

I got up instantly and walked out of the room, Kenzie was still laying on the bottom bunk, and I'm forced to have the top because she's "to lazy to walk up 5 steps"... Doesn't really matter, now I don't have the chance to be smushed, I smirked to myself at the thought of that. I walked into Brad's room, "I'm sorry.. I didn't know... I'll go for a while if you wa-" he cut me off "No, please don't go... I didn't mean it... I just know that if he meets you, he'll start liking you and Kenzie more, and leave me behind... like the others... And my cancer isn't helping Becca..." I hugged him and whispered in his ear.. "I know.. and I'm really sorry.." I started crying on his shoulder... "I understand.." He said "..but 'sorry' can't cure cancer..." I knew it couldn't, but I was sorry for taking his friends, I didn't know that's why they left him... "Well then, I'll just stay out of sight until he leaves, or at least try.." I said smiling. "Thanks B".. Yeah I understand, some think 'B' stands for bitch, but when Brad calls me it, it's just his nickname for me, short for Becca.

<~Kenzie's POV~>
I heard a knock at the front door about 20 minutes after mom left... yes, I've gotten used to saying mom instead of Lucille.. Anyway, I went to go open it just as Becca came charging at me, I seriously screamed "SHARKEISHA NOO!" And then she stopped in her tracks and started dying laughing, I totally forgot about the person at the door because there was another knock, and I knew I fucked up when Becca called me Mackenzie and grabbed my wrist saying "lets go.. now" and she knocked on Brad's door saying something like "He's here"? I don't know, something like that. She let go of my wrist when we got to our room and lectured me about being so loud, "well how the hell was I supposed to know that it was him?!" She sat down with her head down feeling bad for yelling, and I know she just wanted to help Brad out, but then I heard Brad say "yeah right down the hall to the right, second door" which is the bathroom, and also right across from our room. I tried to calm Becca down after shutting the door, but she was just to loud, she was sitting on the floor against the bed with her head on her knees, crying. Then the door slowly creaked open, and there he was, Ashton Irwin. The one Brad didn't want us to meet.

He started to gain speed, he dropped to his knees next to Becca trying to figure out what's wrong, her thinking its Brad, responded with "I-I'm sorry... I messed everythin-" she got cut off when he grabbed her chin with his pointer finger to see her face. That's when Brad walked in and seen it all, she reached her arm out for him, but it was to late, he already ran to his room, leaving the echo of a slamming door off in the distance. I looked back at her crying even more into Ashton's shoulder as he tried to comfort her, and then back at the hallway towards Brad's room. I decided, since Becca has Ashton to help her right now, I need to talk to Brad. I knocked on his door, not waiting for a response, I walked right in. He was looking at the mirror, trying to put on different wigs to cover the fact that he's bald from the chemo therapy. He seen me, I know he did, but he kept trying on different wigs he got from his birthday and different holidays. Since he probably wouldn't listen to me, I called Jessica, his wife, I know he'll listen to her. When she picked up, I explained everything and she said she'll be here as quick as she can, I was relieved until I came back in my room and noticed Becca was gone, wait I forgot about Ashton... where'd they go?

I roamed the house until I went into the garage, "BECCA!" I screamed, she was in her car and Ashton was standing in front of it so she couldn't leave. I went into the passenger seat trying to grab the keys while Ashton tried to grab her and lift her out of the car, it took him about 5 minutes, and by time she settled down, headlights came down the driveway. I hand motioned Ashton to bring Becca into the house and started towards the car, it was Jessica. "Where is he? Is he ok? What happened after I hung up? Why was Becca crying? Who was that?" She flooded with more and more questions until I got annoyed and cut her off, I grabbed her hand and pulled her through the house fast, just as fast as she ran out of breath. She fell to her knees, breathing heavy, and holding her stomach. Brad came running out to see if mom was home just to see her with fatigue filling her eyes. I realized why she got tired so quick as she got up, she's pregnant. I could see it now looking at the enlarging size of her stomach and the way she held it too. I helped Brad lower her to the couch sitting next to her. She motioned for me to leave so she could have alone time with him to talk about the events that occurred.

I walked back to my room to see Ashton sitting down and Becca fell asleep with her head in his lap sitting on the floor against the couch we have in there. I crawled into my bed mumbling "cute couple.. huh.." He questioned insisting I say it again for him to hear, "Cute couple, aren't you two?", "Well I-" he tried to state but I said "it was rhetorical, just so ya know" but then I heard Brad's door shut again, Ashton tried to get up, but I put my hand up for him to stay there and walked my ass to his door, slowly opening it, seeing them cuddling in bed falling asleep, so I shut the door softly and went to the kitchen and ate a couple of Oreos and brought about 3 back for Ashton. But when I came back, I seen Ashton had made his way onto the couch laying down with Becca laying on his chest, "I knew they were a cute couple" I mumbled, apparently loud enough that it made Ashton shift a little. I quickly stuffed my face with the Oreos and laid down on my bunk trying to fall asleep, but I couldn't. I started thinking to myself. "How could he just sleep here? Doesn't anyone worry about him?.." And also about mom, she never came home. I messaged asking where she at. She had responded about 2 minutes later saying that she was at the same adoption center that she got me from. I worried, what if it's my parents? And they want me back? I can't leave, this is my real home now. I tried as hard as I could to fall asleep with these thoughts... and it worked, I passed out around 15 minutes after worrying.
