My First and Only Love

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Spencer:
     Monday came around and it was time to go back to school. After being in the hospital for 5 days, I was glad. I had fainted due to stress. Well I can't blame myself, my life was pretty stressful.

I drove to school, wondering who our new principal would be. Would they be nice or mean? I was going to find out today. The five of us had to report to the principal's office. I was guessing they were already informed of the situation.

I was right.

As I made my way to the office, I saw that Carina, Gabriel, and Cassandra were already there. They were sitting down, waiting to be called in. I took a seat next to Carina. Seemed like a better option than sitting next to Gabriel.

It was silent; none of us spook. Suddenly the principal's secretary came out of their office," The new principal is waiting for you all." We all rose and walked in.

"No!" Cassandra exclaimed when she saw the principal. We all looked at her. "Hi Cas," the principal said softly,"Take a seat guys." Cassandra looked traumatized. Who was this guy?

"Hello students. I am Mr. Suarez. I will be the new principal. It's a pleasure to meet you all. Can you all introduce yourselves to me?"

"I'm Carina Fernandez." "Gabriel Chang." "Spencer Jackson." Cassandra staged quiet. "Ok well since Cas doesn't want to introduce herself. I'm her stepfather." "NO YOU ARE NOT! YOU NEVER WILL BE!" "This is Jacob?!" Carina and Gabriel exclaimed.

"Yes, that's me." Cami walked through the door," Sorry for being late dad." "Dad?!" we all exclaimed. Cami chuckled," Yeah, he's my father." Cassandra looked like she was gonna pass out," You are his daughter. Oh my lord please help me..."

"Cami take a seat please." She shrugged and sat down. "I was made aware of the situation between you all. I know that Cami, Gabriel, Carina, and Spencer were suspended for a week. And Mrs. Anderson already spoke to your teachers to make the necessary arrangements for you guys. I really hope this doesn't happen again. I don't want to see any of you in my office unless it's for something good. Is that clear?" Everyone nodded except Cassandra. "Ok, you may all go to class."

We stood up to leave and walked out the door. I followed Cas to class as the other went their own ways. "Cassy, are you ok?" She nodded without even turning to face me. "Cas, you know I'm here for you right?" "Yeah, sure, whatever," she said walking into the classroom.

When I walked in and was going to take my seat next to her, Mr. Jewel stopped me. "Spencer and Lance, please switch seats for the rest of the year." I saw Cassandra sigh in relief. So Mrs. Anderson did talk to our teachers. Great just great.

Cassandra:
  It was a long day. Gabriel took me to work like usual. Rebecca was already fired and Spencer had the day off. Work was going to be an escape from reality. Or so I thought.

As I was doing papers in my office, I was called on the walkie. Someone had complained and wanted to speak to the manager, aka me. I sighed and went to see what had happened.

Of course it had to be Cami and Jacob. "Cassandra?" Jacob said surprised. "Yeah, that's me," I said rolling my eyes," What's the problem?" "You're the manager?" "Yes, I am, so can you please tell me what the problem is?" "The service is too slow!" Cami blurt out,"I demand for better service." "Look, Spencer is our best waiter, surprisingly, and he's off today, we had to fire another waitress, and one of our cooks is sick. So I'm sorry for your wait. Have a 10% discount from your bill. Enjoy the rest of your stay. Goodbye."

And that was that. I returned to my office and returned to work. When it was time to go, Charlotte was waiting for me. "Hey Cas." "Hey Lettie. What are you doing here?" "We have a lot to talk about."

Yes, yes we did. Charlotte found out about Jacob being our principal and she didn't like it. She also discovered that when the police investigated Mrs. Anderson, they found out she had also been with 6 other students. What was wrong with that lady?! And the worst was still yet to come.

As I unlocked the door, I saw my mom sitting on the couch with Jacob and Cami. "You have got to be kidding me!" Charlotte and I exclaimed.

"Girls could you please sit down? I have something to tell you." "If it's that you are marrying Jacob, I don't care," I snarled. "It's not that. Please just sit." Charlotte and I gave each other a look and sat. "What am I going to tell you will change our lives forever.

I met your father in college. It was love at first sight. We dated for most of college and it was beautiful. But then, he was offered the opportunity of a lifetime. To go study in Yale for one year to finish his degree. He couldn't say no. But, he loved me. So he proposed. Of course I said yes. We threw an engagement party and he left. My family was so happy that their only daughter would finally get married. It was going to take a while, but it was going to happen.

I fell into depression without your father. I missed him so freaking much. So, I went to the bar. And drank and drank and drank and drank, it seemed endless. That's where I meet Jacob. We talked a couple of times. But, one day, I was so drunk that... I sleep with him. It just happened. We were both drunk. We didn't use protection. And... Cami, that's how you were brought into existence. I was engaged, I couldn't tell my family that I was pregnant of another guy. So, I left. I left Los Angeles with the stupid excuse of going to another college in Miami. Jacob came with me. Once I gave birth, I gave Cami to Jacob and I returned to Los Angeles without them. When my fiancé came back, I got married and had Cassandra and then Charlotte. Jacob came back once in a while, but without Cami. Your dad found out and that's when he tried to kill Jacob. After a few years, I decided to move back here to Miami. To try to unite my whole family. I have three daughters, I can't pretend to just have two."

"You're my mom?" Cami said tears forming in her eyes. "Yes." "You abandoned me!" "You lied to us!" Charlotte screamed. I stayed quiet, I had no words.

Cami looked at me," You are my sister." I nodded slowly. "No!" Charlotte said," Cassandra is my only sister! Not this prostitute!" "No call her that!" my mom exclaimed. "Oh, but it's true mother dearest," I said sarcastically," She is an actual prostitute. She works at the strip club. She opens her legs for whoever is desperate enough to want sex with her." "Shut up!" Cami said trying to slap me.

I grabbed her arm and twisted it ever so gently," Don't ever try to lay a finger on me. Because I will forget you are my blood." "You aren't that innocent little girl you pretend to be." "You're right I'm not. I have my dark side. And you and Spencer are bringing it out of me. Stay out of my way, and we will be okay. But, you mess with me, I wouldn't play around." I pushed her back and her father caught her.

"Cassandra! Respect your older sister!" "Screw you Jacob. Screw you Cami. And screw you mother." I grabbed Charlotte and went to my room.
