My Best friend's Brother (Completed)

12

So it has been a week almost and I did forgive him, but he knows he is still in what Sarah calls it 'the dog house'. At first I thought that phrase was funny since he is a werewolf, but then I kept picturing him a cute adorable wolf pup. I mean I could not forgive him completely because what if it happens again. I needed to remind him in a way that what he did was unacceptable, but part of me understands. Right now we are laying on the couch at my home watching Bring It. Yes he did not want to watch it, but since he is still in trouble he agreed to watch it with me if he can spoon me. The door opens and my mom walks in with my dad.

"Hey sweetie, can you turn off the TV please. We have something to tell you." My mom says.

So I pause it and sat up.

My mom sat on my dad's chair while dad stands and me and Anthony are sitting on the couch.

"I do not know how to word this, so I am going to just say it." My mom says.

I nod showing I am listening.

"I am pregnant again!" My mom says.

I knew it, they were trying to have another child.

"How far along?"

"Two months." My mom says.

I look at my dad and he nods.

Two months would mean they were on their second honeymoon, wait....

"How long did you guys know?"

"Since a month ago." My dad say.

A month ago! Really like seriously and all that time they did not tell me! That hurts a lot, I mean they never kept a big secret like this big from me, so I got up.

"Congrats, I'll move out as soon as I can to make room for your new joy."

I walked to my room and locked my door.

How can they keep a secret like that from me? I guess we were never that close for them to know a month and just now tell me. Like I do not care if I have to share my room or anything, but I do care that they kept this secret from me. It does impact my life too. I mean do not get me wrong I do want a little sibling and I would love them to death, but it hurts that they just now tell me. What were they thinking? Maybe that I am fragile and would break down? Or maybe they thought it was not the right time to tell me since I do have a lot on my plate, yeah that is it. They just did not want to add to my plate since it is my last year here.

I heard knocking so I answered my door and standing there is Anthony.

"Hey, you want to talk about it?" Anthony asks.

"No, I mean it was sudden news and they knew for a month then kept it a secret, so there is nothing to talk about."

He hugs me and kisses my head.

Just being in his arms makes me forget the stab that my parents caused to our parent-child relationship. I mean my parents are always the ones that listen when I am upset and give me good feedback when I need it. Or like every time I fall off the bike of life they would pick me up off the ground if I needed them to. And to keep a secret that is good news for that long makes it hurt and hard for me to even process it like I should. I mean if they told me when they found out I would be ecstatic and be there every step, but right now all I can feel is the ecstatic being stabbed.

Anthony's phone goes off making him pull away to look at his phone.

"I got to take this and I will be right back." Anthony says.

I just nod and watch him leave my room.

After a while I walked back downstairs to see my parents in the kitchen talking.

"Hey, can we talk?"

They both look up and then I see my mom's watery eyes making guilty hit me harder.

"Um. I am sorry for how I reacted. I was just shocked and hurt. I mean I was hurt that you kept it a secret for a month. I mean why did you guys not tell me sooner?"

"We thought it was best for then. We knew you were stressed about school and the future, so we thought it was best not to tell you until.." my dad says.

Anthony steps into the kitchen and kisses my head.

"I get it and I am sorry."

I walked out of the kitchen with Anthony to the front porch.

"Do you want to come over tonight?" Anthony asks after a while sitting on the bench.

"Yes."

"Okay, go grab some stuff and we will leave." Anthony says.

So that is what I do, but after I grab some clothes and nessartties I went to tell my parents I am staying with Anthony tonight, but as imagined the air that surrounds us was tense and uncomfortable.
