Alone 2: Bullets

36. Brownies

Carla

I woke up and Antoinette was already gone. I picked up my phone to check the time and it was already quarter to eight.

I remember I haven't gone to the office yet.

I got up, took a shower and I put on my clothes.

I never dress formally to the office. Neither do I dress casually. I just put on something in between.

After putting on some makeup I went downstairs to get breakfast.

Before I got into the kitchen I heard the sound of something breaking. I ran over to see what it was.

"Are you insane. Do you know how much these shoes cost". It was Tracy and she was yelling at Antoinette.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to. It was an accident. Please forgive me". I can't believe this. The woman who gave birth to me was begging Tracy.

"Sorry won't cut it, I want you to take the shoes and go clean them". Okay I can't stand by anymore.

"What in Lincoln's beard is going on here?". I said as I walked in .

"Umm... Alexandria it's okay, I'm the one who made a mistake. I was trying to prepare breakfast for you and your brother". I can't believe she's actually explaining herself, like c'mon you're my mother you have to be bitchier than that.

"It's alright, chef Zac prepares breakfast. Let's go to the living room".

"Um hello, my shoes lady". Why on Earth is Tracy still here.

"What shoes?"

"The ones your servant lady ruined".

"Servant lady?. She's my mother you snake".

"Mother, servant I don't care. I just want my shoes cleaned".

"You mean those cheap things. I think my underwear is more expensive than those eyesores".

"You watch your tone bitch. I think you're forgetting that I'm carrying your brother's child". There she goes again waving the pregnancy card.

"You being pregnant doesn't give you a pass okay. You should be ashamed. Going around poking holes in condoms".

"You little slut". Out of the blue I felt Tracy's right hand on my left cheek.

And me being. Well. Myself i returned the favour double. I landed one slap on her right cheek and before she could recover I landed another one on her left cheek.

Then out of nowhere a full blown fight started with me and Tracy pulling on each other's hair.

"Girls please stop it". Antoinette tried separating us.

"Stay out of this!!" Tracy and I said in unison.

Next thing that happened was Axel coming in and dragging me off of Tracy.

"What the hell is going on here". Axel asked angrily.

"We're making brownies". I said sarcastically rolling my eyes.

"I'm not kidding lex. You know Tracy's pregnant".

"And you know she's a bitch".

"And that's why I expect you to be more mature in this. Why are you acting like". He stopped.

"Like what. Go on. I'm acting childish right. Go ahead and take her side. See if I care".

"Lex I'm not taking sides here. When I walked in you were clearly on top of her. I'm just speaking from what I saw".

"I'm not gonna explain myself. Just go ahead and take your little fuck toy's side. I'm leaving".

I walked away with a bruised lip and hurt feelings. He didn't even take his time to understand what happened.

I don't blame him. She's carrying his child after all.

So who am I. I'm just a girl who popped up and happens to be his long lost sister.

I wiped the tear away before I was full on crying.

Now I didn't feel like going to the office anymore.

I just want ice cream and someone to talk to.

But who.

Jackson's off on some job.

My dad took Donny to get enrolled in school.

Cole. Wait Cole.

I went up to my room and called Cole.

It went straight to his voicemail.

"If you're hearing this it's obvious I'm not picking up. So leave a message. If it's dumb just don't bother. Beeepppp......."

Now I really have no one to talk to.
