Cancer
I had managed to put a genuine smile upon my face, after Caleb's usual contagious grin and jokes. Plus, I'm not going to lie, Caleb and I did make out…for a little bit (only after he convinced himself that he had accidentally caused my bruises, when we had sex the other night. I did not bother to change his thoughts, for fear he think me crazy). But who wouldn't make out, with their boyfriend, when they are in his bedroom, especially when you are in my situation.
Anyways, I made my way down the stairs, wearing the same outfit I had when I came trudging into the Danvers' home late last night.
Caleb was still up in his room, shaving and talking to my brother, who had abruptly called-ending our make out session.
Pogue was being nosey, since Kate and him actually didn't do anything last night. Pogue told Caleb about how Kate had thrown up all over him, once he got her back to her home. And said, he left her at her home, under her parents' supervision, and drove back to our home with my car.
Pogue was just whining about how he didn't like me being over at Caleb's place all the time, since Pogue had no one to talk to when Kate and him weren't talking.
But, after the annoyance with my brother's voice, I took myself downstairs, where I was planning on making myself a late breakfast.
Yet Evelyn was sitting upon her couch, twitching slightly from her need for a cigarette (which she had given up after William's death).
"Hey Evelyn," I smiled wider, sending her the love I had begun to loose for my own mother. Evelyn had been more of a mother for me after the whole Chase thing at the beginning of the school year, than my own mother was. Evelyn even begun referring to me as her daughter she never had. She also had confessed to me that she was simply waiting until Caleb and I came back together one night and announced to her that we were going to get married.
Oh…I could only wish something like that would happen.
I'm a complete romantic, and the simple idea of Caleb giving me a beautiful diamond ring and sliding it up my slender finger, only made me shiver. Unfortunately Caleb and I are so young that I doubt anything like that would happen. At most I may get a promise ring, or something like that, until Caleb and I were sure we wanted to get married.
But to be honest, I found the notion of a "Promise Ring" to be idiotic. Caleb didn't need to give me a ring, if he wanted to make sure that we were both ready before we got married. If we ever get married…
Evelyn jumped up from her seat, and threw her arms around me," Hey darlin'!" But before I could respond, she patted my back and questioned in her new bubbly toned she gained after William's death," Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you something?"
Gently freeing myself from her grasp, I answered with a smile," Actually I was just coming down here to make myself something-"
"Great! Eggs and Bacon?" Evelyn quizzed, moving us both towards the kitchen," Pancakes? I think I still have some donuts in here…"
I giggled at Evelyn, and murmured, trying to calm her down in her hyper state," Whatever you are willing to make, Evelyn."
"Then we'll have waffles!" Evelyn announced to me, as we both separated and floated into the kitchen. "You just sit down."
"Evelyn, I can help you with-"But I was caught off, by Evelyn pushing me back towards the stool for the big island, which had been Evelyn and Caleb's casual dinning table.
Evelyn then wagged her finger at me, and countered," You're going to over exert yourself one of these days."
"Over exert myself?" I repeated, cocking my head at her in question. But the way I saw a smirk play across her lips, and the way she skipped from me to the waffle batter in the cardboard box-I knew that she was hinting my sex life with her son and the parties we always went to.
"Evelyn-"I groaned, ready to tell her to stop worrying about me. But she had already beaten me to the punch.
Evelyn began pouring the correct amount of water into a large bowl," I know you and Caleb care for one another dearly, but you seem to forget that the nights I can't get to sleep I tend to always catch the tail end of things between the two of you. And the way the two of you strut around this town with so much energy, I just fear for both, yours and Caleb's, health. And I don't want to see anything happen to either of you two."
I rolled my eyes, holding my head in my hands, as I watched her.
"And I would hate to see another problem arise that my babies couldn't handle," Evelyn murmured in a more off handed tone. But it was obvious by the word "problem" she meant was Chase Collins incident which left her a widow. And by the word "babies" she meant me and the Sons of Ipswich.
I sighed to myself, trying to act as nonchalant as possible, when Evelyn brought Chase Collins up. Especially after everything that has been happening to me lately. It was like I was living a damn nightmare. I was just waiting for Chase Collins to turn the corner and try to kill us again.
But until then, I would have to just put on a fake smile and pretend that everything was normal.
Unfortunately this was beginning to feel like cancer. It was eating me inside out. And I believed that there was no cure. Not even Pogue's brotherly love, Tyler or Reid's friendship, Evelyn's motherly love, or Caleb's intense love could save me from this nightmare. I was terminal.
So, finally updated. I'm sorry it wasn't sooner but I had SAT stuff to study for, plus this week is mid-terms. But I just came back from teh movies (watching Australia and Twilight (for the third time)), checked my messages, and found many people begging for a update. I know that the updates right now may seem a little boring, and I admit they are just fillers until I can get to teh juicy stuff. Which will be soon, I promise. Anyways there will plenty of the other characters, and you may even meet some of the boys' families as well. Just keep posted, everyone.
