Earned It

Chapter Sixteen: The Game

Harry follows me down the stairs.

"I'm really sorry about that. I don't ever think about them. You are the only one I want."

Could he really mean that? I am 16 after all. Is he really willing to put his 24 year old self in a full blown relationship with me? It makes you wonder about males. Is he using me for sex or does he want something genuine. I know I am above being used...Its my turn to show him that.

"Right now, I need you to leave. Maybe you can think of a way to make it up to me." I point my hand toward the door.

"But I-" I cut him off.

"No, You can think about this. We can talk later at Homecoming." I once again point my finger

He heads out slowly. I sigh and think about it. I know my worth and I know that if he wants me he will make it up to me. I head to the kitchen to make my mom breakfast. Her favorite eggs over easy to eat with little cut up sausages. I chop the sausages into tiny penises... I mean pieces. I think about doing it to Harry. I bring her meal upstairs.

"Hey mom, how are you feeling? I brought you breakfast."

She tilts her head slightly to see me in the doorway.

"Oh, how sweet. Thank you so much dear. I've been better. My whole body aches but the doctor said I just need rest."

I sit on the bed and help her eat her breakfast. She thanked me and we chatted about the previous night.

"The cops said they are looking for him and they would let us know if they had a lead."

"I hope they find him... He really cant get away with what he did to you." I add.

"Are you going to go to Homecoming tonight?"

I'm not really even sure if I should. I've had such a bad day and I have a bad feeling about it. I just don't want to be embarrassed again.

I hear the front door open. I run out of the room and head down the stairs expecting to see Harry again.

I bump into someone and we both fall. I hold my head and look up.

"Watch where you're going." I look up to see Shannon standing over me.

"What are you doing in my house??? I thought you were someone else?"

"Are you not excited to see me?" She reaches out to help me up. I grab her hand and she lifts me off the ground. She smiles at me. "I heard what happened last night so I brought some chocolate for your mom... Hope that's okay." She adds.

"How did you hear about it?"

"The whole school is talking about it. I heard from James cause he heard it from his team."

Great know everyone at school is gonna think my family is a bunch of freaks. I take a deep breath and try to stay calm.

"Thank you for bringing the chocolates. I'm sure my mom would like to see you." We head back up the stairs. I peak in to see my mom sleeping once again.

"She's sleeping... We should probably let her get some rest."

"Well now I have another job."

"What's that?"

"I gotta get you ready for homecoming. I brought you one of my old dresses that you can wear and all my make up. You gonna get all dolled up and win this shit." She smiles at me.

"I don't know. I should probably stay here and take care of my mom."

"Don't be silly. She was bragging to me the other day about how excited she was for you to be a part of this. I'm sure she wouldn't want you to miss it for the world."
