What's Hell
Chapter Eight: Family
Once school was over Edward met me at the door like he has done for the rest of my classes I smiled at him and let him take my hand. He asked me how was class and I told him that it was great. I told him how I was moved up to a leader of the first soprano section,and how I was getting a solo. He listenedto every single word that left my mouth it made me happy that someone cared to listen to me.
When we got outside I asked him, "are we still meeting tomorrow for our assignment." His answer was, "yes, can we do it tomorrow things are l little complicated, because Bella stays there." That hurt me, they lived together, shoot they probably slept that thought I let go of his hand it upset me so bad. He took my face and made me look at him and said, "don't be upset, I promise I will explain to you about why that arrangement is, tomorrow, or if it will make you feel better I can do it tonight. After you settle your family problems.
I grimaced I didn't feel like dealing with that drama of my family. I sighed, he walked me to my car where my sister was standing. I didn't even notice it originally. He took my face and kissed my cheek. After that he opened my door so I can get in. Then he left.
My sister walked to my window and said, "I have to ride with you because I don't have my own car or licence and my father won't take me." I nodded and when she got in I asked, "do you need a ride home as well." She looked at me a little sadly and said, "please." I took off after that and asked, "where do you live?" She hesitated but said, "about three miles from the school, I have to walk my father won't take me." I looked at her in disbelief and said, "I'll pick you up from now on there is no need for you to walk, just make sure your ready by seven thirty." She nodded and said, "thank you." After that we pulled into our driveway where Carlos and Mrs. Livian were already there.
We walked in together and Mrs. Livian said, "you two made it here together without killing each other." I rolled my eyes and replied, "some things are more important than boys, and besides she is my sister." After I said that Carlos came running over and took Rebecca into a huge hug. We gave them a minute when I suggested we go into the living room.
When we all got in there Mrs. Livian asked, "so what were you two fighting over." Rebecca started off by saying, "I have really liked this guy named Edward since he moved here two years ago, then out of nowhere Selena comes along and he is all into her. He breaks up with his current well was current girlfriend and was giving her all of these looks. The two of them just keep staring at each other, and I guess I was just jealous because I wanted him.
I had to stop myself from bursting out but Carlos didn't, "you have a boyfriend you didn't tell me that and Mrs. Livian told me the two of you were punching each others faces in, is this Edward boy the one she told me broke you two up, what is going on between you two." Most of that was directed towards me I sighed and said, "well technically we aren't dating we are just friends, who like each other, and who may be going on a date Saturday, but yes he is the one who broke us apart."
Carlos rolled his eyes at me but then our door bell rang. I didn't know who it was but I decided to go to the door and answer it. When I opened it I was about to cry. It was my mama, I missed her so much and when I saw her I jumped into her arms. I miss my mama so much. She struggled to walk into the house but did practically carrying me. When we made it into the living room my brother stood up and went to hug her. He succeeded, it was a little awkward but he did it anyway. Even Rebecca came and hugged her but then again that is the only mama that she really knew.
After a couple minutes of hugs we all separated and went back to our seats. My mama sat next to me on a cornor while Conor and Rebecca sat on the other couch with Mrs. Livian in the chair. She smiled at us and then said, "you guys are all set you have the money you need, but Gweyneth you will have to go to the court hearing in two weeks. Mama nodded and then Mrs. Livian left. I got up immediately wanting to cook my family dinner. When I got up I asked. "what would everyone like, I feel like this is a special occasion how about crab legs I know everyone loves it, and have it with some homemade cole slaw." Everyone agreed I was so happy to have my family back together.
After I made dinner and everyone ate I got ready to take Rebecca home because it was getting late and I wanted to talk to Edward before we even think about becoming official. When we got in the car Rebecca said, "Thank you I loved it, you are a great cook." I thanked her and then she said, "are you and Edward really not a thing." I looked at her and said, "we aren't yet but we are going to meet up maybe tonight to discuss it, I should probably text him about it, will you do me a favor and ask him will he meet up with me in half an hour somewhere. She nodded and grabbed my phone texting him. Not even five seconds later I got a text saying yes, and asking if the cafe down the street from the school was ok. Rebecca texted and said that would be fine.
When I pulled up to her house I asked, "are parents going to be ok with you being out with me if I need to tell them where you were I can." She looked to the house and asked, "will you wait a minute so I can prepare them, tell them that someone is coming in." I nodded and she ran out. A couple minutes later she came out the door waving me over. When I got up to the doorstep she told me, "they don't know who you are so you should tell them." I nodded and then we walked into the house.
It was homey, not exactly the interior I would choose but it was nice enough. Rebecca walked me into the living room and I saw her parents. I lifted my hand and said, "Hello my name is Selena, I am her older sister." Her father looked at me funny and her mother gasped. Then her mother came and hugged me. Afte a moment of that I said to them, "I just wanted to let you know that Rebecca was with me and not roaming the streets. We had met with my well I guess our social worker because she knew her and I guess that would make sense because we are related." Her father spoke to me and said, "Thank you for bringing her home, we were actually starting to worry about her because she never stays away without calling." Wen he said that her mother looked at him and said, "that's why I told you she needed a phone." I smiled and handed her my phone. She looked at me like I was crazy I told her, "keep I'll get me another one after I talk to Edward don't worry it is on Carl and my contract I'll just add an account but I will need my contacts, unless you would like a different one, you might like iPhone better than galaxy." She shook her head and said, "no thank you this will be perfect." She hugged me and then her mother said, "you don't have to do that I'm sure we can figure this out." I smiled at her and said, "it's no problem." After that her mother asked, "would you like to stay for dinner, I made hamburgers, we were just waiting for Rebecca." I said, "thank you but I just made Rebecca and I something to eat, I'm sorry I just tend to cook for my family." She smiled and said it was Ok. after that I excused myself because I was already late to meet with Edward.
