Not What We Expected

Chapter Seven~Good Bye Shyanne

"What the hell! Why did you do that?" He asks me holding his bleeding nose, he stands up and his buddies look slightly angry at me but all I am doing is fuming.

"Cause all you want to do is get into my pants you psycho!" I shout at him getting into his bloody face, he pulls his hand away and gets into mine angrilly as well, his jaw clenches and unclenches.

"Here, brought you food like you asked me too." He shoves a togo bag of food into my hands before shoving past me, along with all the other guys cussing at me and snickering at me. I look down in the bag to see taco bell with a small note inside. A loud honk startles me, looking over I see Jazzi, I feel like we have known each other for years. I slide into her car and she looks so tired like she might pass out while she is driving.

"Hey girl. Why do you have taco bell?" She asks me in only a tanktop and her underwear.

"Your brother got it for me, last night he came to my window to ask me out but I said no and to go get me food, this morning he stopped me I punched him in the nose, and sorry bout that, and gave me the food." I open the bag and slip out the nicely folded note.

Hey Scarlette, 

your a famonimal driver and your so very smart. I wanted to appoligize but I really respect you so could you please rethink about us dating? Your so beautiful and something in me makes me melt.

-Reese

I bust out laughing at the note, this is so cheesy, and rediculous! "Whats so funny?" She pulls into her driveway and I see an extra car in it, maybe her dad got another car? I pile out of it and rush inside so I can do my homework, without looking I run up into her bedroom like a mad woman and into her room and find my back pack, I dive for it grabbing my things and start on it, calculus sucks I have no clue how to do it, I eat my borrito while trying to figure out my equations when someone runs up into my room. I see Reese standing there looking slightly pissed but mostly excited, his nose is purple and swollen and I feel like laughing histarically.

"So did you like the note?"

"Why are you so desperate? I already told you no, now leave me alone. Your sister and I are friends and I would like to remain that way, Im not letting you into my pants." I mutter finishing my borrito while doing my homework. "Could you leave and go back to your girlfriend that will let you in her pants?" He only seems to fume more and he storms out of the room who is replaced by Jazzie and she plumps right back into her bed. "Why is your brother here?"

"He comes over every Tuesday and Thurseday, sometimes on Sundays." She groans in her bed, we have school. 

"Oh well that is nice to know, next time I wont come over on those days." I say, that was a super good,  oh dang you know what? Random thought that I love! I want a tattoo! "Hey could you take me to get a tattoo after school?" 

"Its too early in the morning to be talking about tattoos." She groans and I sigh leaving her alone, but she inhails deeply. "Hey there is a guy at school I just thought of that I think you two would be great together."

"Random thought!" I chirp and she giggles lightly, I let her finish her peaceful sleep and I finish my work. There is another knock on the door, I look up and I see its my mom, my eye brows furrow, she steps aside to show Shyanne in the door way, her cheeks a slight pink and she has a small smile on her face. I jump to my feet and jump into her arms, I dont care if my mother is jelous, she diserves this.

"Scarlette please." She says and pushes me off of her nicely, she looks down and sighs. "Your mother has told me you have been angry about the adoption and that you have wanted to talk. I cant talk much but I love you so much, I am so sorry I gave you away but I had to. I wanted to keep your father so he forced me into signing the papers, but the moment I had you and signed them he left me and it was the worst mistake of my life. But I am not your mom, Karla is, she raised you and cared for you and she would never leave you." My mom looks down to Shyanne thanking her with her eyes, she only nods lightly then turns and looks at me, she looks alot like me and I cant belive I didnt fit the peices together. "Dont come looking for me, Im not your mom, Im your aunt, Im leaving out of the country for good, you have a little sister, her name is Charlee Im leaving her here with Karla because Im dieing, I have stage four brain cancer and Im going for surgery." My jaw drops, my birth mother is dieing, she leans down and picks up a small baby carrier to show the smallest baby I have ever seen. "Shes two weeks old."

"What? This is too much to process, your dieing? And I have a sister?"

"Yes Im sorry Scarlette, I love you and be a good girl, please dont do what I did and get pregnant this young, being seventeen is so hard."

"Please this isnt real! Your not dieing!"

"Yes I am, I handed my rights over to your mom for your sister yesterday night.  I have to go my plane leaves soon. Bye Scarlette, if I could undo everything I would, I would have kept you if I had known, you are so beautiful take care." She hugs me one last time before kissing my cheek and leaving Jazzis house, tears well up in my eyes, I dont know what just happened? Was that a dream? Brain cancer runs in the family, Charlee and I could have it!

"Scarlette you need the day off, your coming home." My mom says, shes holding the baby carrier and she holds her arms open to me, I look to the side to see Reese and his buddies watching silently, they dont mock. I grab Charlee and walk down the steps to her car, I dont turn back to say good bye to her, I dont know what the heck has just happened this morning?
