Can You Keep A Secret
" Mara, I can't just tell him," I started to protest. " What am I going to say,"
"Hey Fabian I have a son but he's not yours. What did you get for number four on the Chemistry homework?" " Yea that'll go over well."
" I'm not saying tell him Ben's not his, just tell him that you have a son. You can't keep it from him forever." Mara had recently found out that I had a son, recently meaning 6 months. We've been friends since about 2 months before summer vacation and she came to Texas for a surprise visit and found out about Bennet. It's not like I've kept it a secret from Fabian that long, just a year. I stayed home from school to take care of Ben. He's two now. He has golden blonde mixed with red hair and kaleidoscope eyes which change color with his moods, the doctors don't know why that is, but it makes him unique. His dad is my ex-boyfriend; he and his friends kidnapped me and raped me.
"No, Nina don't cry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't pressure you. If you don't want to tell Fabian you don't have to." Mara reached up and wiped tears off my face. When did those get there? Everyone should be home by now. I just want peace and quiet. I don't get enough sleep. You know, worrying about my baby and all that other stuff. Amber's not helping with that. She finds it weird that I never sleep at night and always sleep during the day. She's also bugging me about hanging out with Mara and Jerome. I think she's being crazy and unreasonable.
