You're only as tall as your heart will let you be
And you're only as small as the world will make you seem
When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall
Just look on the bright
side - you're roughly six feet tall
Kalan's Point Of View.
"Have a good day, son." I walked past Edward and out the front door to Bella's car. I can't wait until I am old enough to drive myself. I can only deal with so much of this happy family thing. It's just not me.
"Oh my gosh, are you guys excited about the dance this weekend?" Teagen gushed front the passenger's seat as we drove to school.
Rylan, who was stuck sitting in the back with me, sighed loudly. He hated having to be drove to school by his mom, but it was either this or the big yellow bus.
I would have chosen the bus.
I would probably be on the bus this morning, but Bella and Edward think that this is a good bonding experience. They rotate between taking turns driving us, and today was Bella's turn.
I don't understand, even after all of these years, why she still tried to say that her and Edward are my parents, and Teagen and Rylan are my siblings. They are in no way my brother and sister. My sister, my real is sister was killed. Dead. She was taken from me, along with everything else in my life. My mother said that there was no such thing as family.
I agree.
"Hey Kalan." Brooklynn said and playfully ran her hand down my chest.
"How can I help you today, babes?" I asked and wrapped one of my arms around her waist. Brooklynn was always ready for me, but she knew the rules.
Sex only.
"Meet me at my car in ten minutes." She whispered in my ear then walked away swaying her hips in her very short jean skirt.
I slammed my locker door shut and started to head toward the school's parking lot.
"Kalan, class starts in like two minutes, where are you going?" Teagen asked as she stood in my way and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Duty calls." I mumbled and pushed past her. I might as well just call her my sister, she's annoying enough.
Sister? Did I really just say that?
"Let's make this quick, I don't need Teagen telling Edward and Bella I skipped class." I told Brooklynn as I climbed into the backseat of her car. She nodded and climbed onto my lap.
This is exactly what I needed.
"Do you have any standards?" Teagen asked as we drove home from school. I'm assuming she is talking about my morning quickie with Brooklynn.
"What did he do this time?" Rylan spat from beside me.
"None of your business." I spat back.
I swear Rylan's always hated me. For my first few months being with them he tried talking to me, and always wanted to play with me, but eventually gave up and started even acknowledging me.
"What are you guys talking about?" Bella asked.
"Nothing." I mumbled.
"Liar." Rylan said.
"Would you two just stop!" Teagen yelled. She got out of the car and slammed the door as soon as we were parked in the garage.
"What's wrong with Teagen?" Edward asked as we walked into the house. Rylan stomped up stairs and slammed his door. Edward sat Logan on the couch and got up and walked over to where Bella and I were standing.
"Bella, what happened?" He asked her, but kept his attention focused on me.
"Ask your son." She said.
"Kalan, why is your sister so upset?" Edward asked in a calm tone.
"She's not my sister." I mumbled.
"It's him mom!" Rylan screamed as he came back down the stairs. He got right in my face. "He's always doing something to tear this family apart! As much as you might hate the idea, you are part of this family." He took a shaky breath. "These guys," He pointed to Edward and Bella. "Are your parents. They've taken care of you and loved you for years now, and Teagen is your sister. Kensley and Grayson even love you, and there not even around much!" He sighed and turned to walk up the stairs; he stopped about half way up and turned to me. "And as much as I may hate it sometimes, you are my brother." He hung his head and continued walking up the stairs.
I was shocked by his words. I looked over to Bella and Edward; they both looked just as shocked as I was. Bella looked just about ready to cry. I sighed loudly and walked past them up the stairs and into my room.
"Kill me." I screamed and plopped down hard face first on my bed.
Most people have a purpose in life. To teach, to help, to save, to love, or destroy. I put myself in that last category. I ruin everyone's life.
First I started with my moms. My dad walked out on us when I was four so I don't really remember him, but my mom always blamed me for him leaving. She said that he left because I was always in the way, or because there was never enough money because they needed to support me. If wasn't for me he would have stayed.
Now I'm here in Edward and Bella's home, ruining their lives, splitting up their family.
I reached under my bed and pulled out my bottle of vodka. I know Bella and Edward would kill me if they ever found this, but at the moment I just don't care. There wasn't much left, but it would have to do. I chugged it down and turned over onto my back and closed my eyes. I relaxed into my pillow and left unconsciousness take over my body.
I know, another short chapter, but it's A Bit longer. The next one will be like UBBER long, I promise, I just need to get the story line started.
