"Mom stop the car!" I shout. The cat dashes into the bushes. "Did you see that?"
"Bianca I am sitting right next to you no need to yell," she says pulling over. I fling open the car door and jump out. I get on my knees and search for the cat in the overgrown shrubs.
"Where are you kitty I won't hurt you," I whisper. A small meow is my responds. I see her a couple feet away. I let her sniff my hand before I pick her up. I walk back to the car with her in my arms.
"Bianca we don't have room for a cat," Mom says as we pull into the driveway. I have decided her name should be Forever. It just came to me. "You know today is the day you are going to tell your father about you and Lucas." She says unlocking the front door.
"What!" I shriek almost dropping Forever." I can't. I am not ready yet."
"I told you how I hate keeping secrets away for your father," she shakes her head. I hate keeping secrets from
him too. Forever jumps out of my arms and stretches in front of the fire place.
"My beautiful girls," Dad says kissing us on the cheeks. "Come eat my wonderful meal."
I couldn't focus on the food. Mom and Dad are quietly whispering. I almost gag when I try to swallow.
"Honey, Bianca would like to tell you something," Mom says as she clears the table. I put my fork down and mom whisks it away I look at Dad's face. He has a curious look on.
"Let me guess it is about a boy," he says moving his chair closer to mine.
I nod and blurt everything out minus the make out part. He takes my hands and holds them. He looks kind of sad.
"Bianca no matter the out come of this situation I will still love you," he says enveloping me in a hug. My eyes fill up and threat to over flow.
"Um, Dad how did you know?" I ask pulling myself away and sneakily wiping my tears with a napkin. He chuckles as he stands up and pushes his chair in.
"There is only one thing daughters and fathers never talk about and that is boys. And Bianca I have known you for 18 years, I know everything about you."
"I would like you to meet Forever," I say motioning at her. Dad calls a greeting to her welcoming her to the family. Mom slides into the chair across from me.
"That wasn't hard." I nod and walk over and pick up Forever. "Push your chair in," She calls as I escape into my bedroom. I hear her mutter something under her breath and push my chair in. I introduce Forever to all my stuffed friends. She wiggles out of my arms and jumps on my bed. I push back my shades so the moonlight can pour in. I stare at the moon and remembering when it was the only thing that Lucas and I share a while back. I undress for bed and close my shades. It isn't the best thing to wake up with the light in your eyes. I say a quick pray for Lucas. Forever smuggles closer. I feel a rough patch of fur. It felt like it had been burned.
"You have been through a lot too huh," I whisper to her. "You ever been in a car accident?" She purrs and it sounds like a sad yes. "He will be okay."
I tell her all about Lucas. She is a good listener and only meows or purrs here and there. If I was telling Raquel she would like me to boil down to the last detail. Which reminds me of our lunch date tomorrow. I groan and turn over almost squishing Forever. She should me what her nails are for. I yelp as I wash the scratches.
"Bad kitty," I tell her putting her on the floor. She looks at me as if she knows she has done wrong. I pick her up feeling bad for her and put on the bed alongside me. "Your are only forgive this once."
