Welcome To Your End
(Teddy's POV)
It's all happening to fast for me to understand just about anything. I'm just sitting here in the car with my social worker on my way to meet my new foster parents. In a way I'm so happy to be leaving all the drama with my real mother behind, but I just can't help being scared a bit. Yet me being who I am I will never show my sentimental side and I know it.
I tighten my grip on my cheap twenty dollars MP3 and stare out the window as I drift of while listening to Disturbed. The big green sign sends shivers through me, "Welcome to Los Angeles", that's what it read but yet my mind was playing some major tricks on me and what I read was "welcome to your end".
My new assigned social worker, Mr. Carlin waved his hand in front of me very slowly and snapped me back to planet earth.
"Are you ok?" he asked with the most sincere smile on his face.
I gulped as I took off the other headphone from my ear. "Yes I'm good. Just seems like a dream to be out of it all."
He smiled, reached over and grabbed my hand softly. "Everything will be ok Teddy I promise."
I smiled when he said my nick name, when we first met I had mentioned to him how much I didn't like my real name and told him what my friends called me and he's called me that ever since. He gave me a comforting smile in return which settled my nerves.
Mr. Carlin was a very nice man. Despite the fact that I've only known him for about a month, I know I can trust him. I've always had this way with people that I know when I can trust them or not and he revealed this aura which settled me. I knew he was going to keep every promise he made me.
About a half an hour later we pulled up at a very beautiful house, Mr. Carlin's house. My stomach flipped to the extent that butterflies weren't what it felt like, more like a monster truck smashing over twenty small Priuses. Yeah I know very violent well now you understand what it feels like.
Mr. Carlin turned off the car and smiled over at me and opened his door. As he stepped out I sighed. I really didn't know what to expect from this meeting. Mr. C as I fondly began to call him wanted me to meet his family. I knew quiet a lot about them already. He had explained everything about them practically in one of our meetings. He took me out to eat and had asked me to open up to him and in return he did too. I found out that day that he had three kids my age, Glen, Clay and Spencer.
From what he's explained I pulled my own conclusions on all of them. Glen was the well known jock, basketball player who was the star of the team. Clay was adopted which was interesting to me but not out of the ordinary. He was African-American and was adopted by Mr. C and his wife, Paula, when he was 9 years old. He's an honor role student who is very dedicated to school and puts his family first before all. Yet the one that most interested me was Spencer. The only girl from the three, from what Mr. C explained.
She had recently come out the closet and it had caused a big commotion in the family. Mr. C automatically accepted her just as she was but her mother hadn't taken it so easily at first. They had a lot of problems because of the whole deal. Spencer and her mom constantly were bonking heads and Mr. C had conflicts with his wife for defending Spencer's right to love, as he called it, which in the process affected the whole family. Yet everything turned out ok as he told me, because Mrs. Carlin came around in the end and learnt to accept Spencer just as she was.
Just in case you're wondering, no they aren't my new foster family. Mr. C wants me to meet them though because he had talked a lot about me to them and they all wanted to meet me especially Spencer. I was hoping that she wouldn't fall for me though I have that suckish curse where I can't have a lesbian friend without them falling for me, which after a while is very annoying.
For two reasons I wasn't interested at all in Spencer Carlin: 1, as Mr. C told me she was a blond which, in no offense to those blonds out there, really did not draw my attention. It really is rare I find a blond attractive. 2, I really wasn't looking for any type of relationship. After my last heartbreak I pretty much stopped believing in love.
"Hellooooo Teddy. Come back to planet earth." Mr. C said snapping me out of my train of thought. I smiled at him; he was standing by my side of the car holding the door open. I stepped out of the car and put my MP3 into my pocket. I ran my hand through my hair pushing my bangs back which just fell right back down and covered my right eye. He closed the door and led me to the front door where I could clearly hear the voices of people speaking.
I looked down at my green watch around my wrist its 5:47 pm, they must be making dinner. Mr. C smiled and opened the door open for me I stepped in and to the side letting Mr. C walk in ahead of me. I automatically was smacked hard across the face by the delicious smell of Macaroni and Cheese, Mashed Potatoes and Fish Sticks, my ultimate favorite meal.
"I'm home familia!" he said out loud which made me chuckle since it reminded me of the day we were out on our first meeting and he wanted me to teach him Spanish.
Mr. C put his hand behind my back and led me over into view. I heard a girl screech of joy and saw a big blond blur jump right into Mr. C's arms.
"Hey sweetheart", Mr. C said as he hugged Spencer tightly. When they pulled away Mr. C smiled over to me and said, "Spencer this is Dayana, Teddy this is my daughter Spencer."
I gapped, I literally was staring with my mouth a bit open and hell who knows maybe I drooled but Spencer was the hottest blond I've ever seen, next to Carmen Luvana of course.
She reached out her hand and smiled. I grabbed it and shook it, "It's a pleasure to meet you." I said as I checked her out. Mr. C chuckled and I snapped out of it. We let go of each others hand and Mr. C led me over to the Kitchen where Mrs. Carlin was busy over the stove. I looked around and chuckled to my self. I felt as if I was in blond land. Three blonds in one room at once seemed all too funny to me and the fact that the house hadn't blown up yet even more.
"Teddy this is my wife Paula and my two sons Glen and Clay." Mr. C said as he walked over to Paula and gave her very cute kiss in the lips. I smiled over at everybody and said, "It's a pleasure to meet all of you."
Clay stood up from the chair next to the kitchen counter and shook my hand gently. Glen just stared at me and said, "The pleasure is all mine." Which made his parents laughed, Spencer role her eyes and Clay walk over to him. "Down boy", he said as he sat down next to Glen again. I blushed uncomfortably, never really liked when guys checked me out.
I rolled my eyes and said in a very matter of fact voice, "I bet."
Paula walked over to me and gave me a warm hug. "Welcome to our home Dayana," she said as she pulled away. "As you can see we've made your favorite meal as Arthur told us it was, as a welcoming. Spencer was the one of the idea; she was really looking forward to meeting you."
I looked over at Spencer and smiled, who smiled back as she blushed and look down at the ground. I giggled softly and smiled at Paula.
"Thank you Mrs. Carlin I really appreciate it. I can't tell you how hungry I am, those peanuts from the plane didn't really do anything to me."
Everybody laughed and I smiled, it was normal of me to be the clown wherever I went. I really liked making people laugh.
"Please call me Paula, Dayana." She said as she led me over to the living room.
I smiled, "Ok but only if you call me by my nickname."
Mr. C chuckled, "Teddy, that's her nickname honey."
Paula smiled, "Ok Teddy it is. Please sit down."
I chuckled as I sat down on the longest sofa. Glen, Clay and Mr. C joined me as Spencer and Paula finished up in the kitchen. As I talked to the boys about my interests, which were mainly music, writing and sports, I couldn't help but look over at Spencer and her mom bonding. Oh how I wish I could have had that relationship with my real mother.
