Okay I've been getting so many people on my butt about this chapter and updating it. How can I resist? I don't want to make people disinterested in the story because I'm too lazy to update. So here it is... Seriously I never knew that her getting pregnant would spark something in the reviewers. And another annoying announcement: I have a midget(mini) sleepover to attend and I want this chapter to be in before I leave so it's not going to be much of a long chapter...
Whoa I've been grounded a lot sense that sentence before so ignore it.
...
The aura in the room was pretty intense as I didn't respond. I just sat there, staring on at the peeling wall paper next to the door, my eyes wide open as I realize that Karma has caught up to me. 'Do a bad deed and the devil will surly get to you', is what my grandma always told me, but you know I've never took it into account. Neither did I take into account that boys' bodies work in the weirdest on ways. Phineas -If I remember correctly was his name- seemed scared out of his mind and even lost hope as his face showed a bit of despair, but dispite all of that, a bit of his mind was enjoying it?... 'Boys' a group of people I'll never understand... They hit puberty too fast, while we girls take time to mature and learn from the many mistakes we have... I guess my time hasn't come yet...
I looked down towards my feet as I realize that they were swinging from being unable to fully touch the ground, I stare at them as they go back and forth and back and forth, my eyes, as I didn't realize were now fully focused on my stomach. The tips of my eyelids slowly pull up as I realize the predicament that I've gotten myself into. I was carrying a child... For a child. I've hit an all-time low in my part. I didn't know what to do at the moment... A child would just get in the way of the things and goals I have to accomplish, then I'd have to spend the next eighteen years of my life taking care of it, feeding it and clothing it... Knowing that the father was more than three decades younger than me...
God I feel like dying...
And what if it was a girl, and it looked exactly like Heather?... I wouldn't want to live with it, but neither would I want to give it away... And I'm against abortion, heh, abortion, just another name for child murder... My face turned into a weird position as I just realized what I just thought... It's weird how a lot of things in my life contradicted each other, the fact that I'm against abortion, but and perfectly fine with killing a child myself, I tried to think more, but that was all I could come up with at the moment before the doctor pulled me out of my thoughts,"Um Ms. Stead?"
"Yes?" I say lifting my focus from my belly.
"It seems as though you are deep in thought, understandably regarding the baby?"He asked, shifting the glasses on his face that I didn't even notice was there.
"Yeah," was all I said as I continue to listen to my thoughts, slowly trying to think of a resolution to my "little" problem.
"Well I'm getting a very strange vibe from you, you should get a lot of rest," he began, his glasses gleamed in the light in an anime fashion, "call me if you ever need me," he smiled, writing down a number on a small slip of paper, then handing it to me. I kept looking at him for a few seconds, analyzing his smile, getting absorbed in on his creepiness below the surface. He looked like he had the capability to murder somebody if he chose to, but be discreet about it, seeming suspicious.
I got off of the table and descended down the hallway towards the two double doors. Thinking about everything that's been going on, I didn't really notice when I got to the doors as I bumped into them, causing me to fall and feel that terrible pain in my stomach once more. 'Ahh today was just not a good day for me!' I mentally scream as I get up and keep going, not even wanting my mind to dwell on the negative.
I wanted to do so, but I just felt something, like a type of aura or something holding me back. I could feel someone's presence observing my every move, tugging my mind to intertwine. With theirs as if they want me to know that they're there,i stood there, feeling it, I shake my head as I trudge on forward to home.
"Amen." were his final words before Ferb stopped and got off of his knees, dusting himself off as he forwarded his way towards the door, opening it and closing it on the way out. I was allowed a little more time for observing my family before I went back down to Earth. I followed him down the stairs, to the kitchen and watched as he looked like he lost something. I raised an eye brow at this as I wondered what his was doing, "Mum?" he asked quietly as I found out he was looking for the woman of the house.
"Yes honey?" came a voice from around the corner, Ferb and I walked around the wall to see mom at the kitchen table with her head in her left hand facing down, as if she was thinking.
"Mum I have to talk to you, It's about Phineas," he began before he was interrupted.
"Honey I have to get a word in with you too," she started as Ferb was raising an index finger to begin again, "Have you noticed anything weird going on with the neighbor lady?" she asked picking up her head out of her palm.
Ferb was about to protest about his turn for speaking before the question made him stop and think, "Well yes...?" he answered the inquirer in his voice say 'Go on'.
"This might sound paranoid, but I think she has something to do with Phin's disappearance." she admitted as her arms were folded on the table with her head descended into them. I'll have to admit this conversation was getting my blood pumping and my heart racing(...Which I really don't know the logic behind that, but what do I know about my body? I'm a spirit!) this conversation was going more towards the truth. I was so happy.
"No mum, I think you're right, she's been doing weird things and has isolated herself after Phineas disappeared, and I caught her spying when the police delivered the news of Phineas' death, but I still didn't say anything," then mom looked at him with a 'Really?' look before his proceeded, "it seemed like a really tense moment for you." he said shrugging it off. Wow Ferb was really getting in a good conversation today.
"Ferb, I'm sorry that I'm getting you into this, but it's just that I tried to tell your father when you were upstairs doing whatever you were doing, but he thought that I just went crazy, and I just needed someone to tell."
"..." yeah the old Ferb was back...
"I want to give my suspicions to the authorities, but I can't do it without any evidence," she looked down (whenever she put it back up) as Ferb turned his head towards the backyard, his eyes scanning the shelter peering the fence; the house where my body was kept. "But I think I might get some when I go to see her inside of her house today," she said looking out of her side vision at the fridge.
"Don't you think that she's going to suspect something if you show up unannounced?"
"Im not she doesn't know that I'm coming, I said I was before she drove off to the hospital for some reason."
"What happened between you two earlier?" Ferb was really going over his verbal limit today, but I guess there are just somethings you can't get across with facial features.
"Well I wanted to forget about this whole death thing for a minute because the stress was getting to me so I went to greet the new neighbor sense I never got the chance to(I don't think she did, if she did already just say it in a review or pm me) but a couple sentences into our short conversation, things got a little weird."
Ferb gave the 'Go on' look.
"Well she started implying things that I didn't know she knew into what we were talking about and when I asked how she knew that she automatically thought of an excuse, it was weird..."
She finished, now with her head in her hand. A couple of seconds went by, my eyes never leaving mom's face, until her face got possessed by an idea. Her head quickly snapped in Ferb's direction, and as if on cue his eyes went to mom's, "What if you... And your little friends sneak into her house and get evidence?" she suggested standing up, obviously proud of this idea.
I didn't know what I was going to do, this idea was crazy! She didn't think of all of the consequences that this one notion could do! I looked over to Ferb and he looked at mom as if she was a stranger,"Mu... Mum?... I think that you're going completely bonkers..." he said holding up his index finger.
Mom glared at this statement, "Really! I'm completely bonkers for wanting to know the whereabouts of son? I'm so sick of people not understanding what it's like to be a mother and not know where your son is... I'm torn inside..." as soon as her mood was up, it went right back down...
Ferb stared at her, "I'll do it," being all he said.
She looked up and smiled.
I stared at the both of them, truly amazed and flattered. I wish there was just one thing I could do to stop them from going through with thus ridiculous plan, like come on they could get hurt, or even worst; end up like me...
I held my head in my hands, my warm hands resting on my cheeks(again I don't know how I'm feeling this). I was there, lost in my thoughts for probably a good ten minutes.
I stood there like this until I realized that he wasn't even there anymore, "Man I have to keep up with this little guardian angel thing," I say to myself as I follow him out of the backyard door to where it looked like the gang was having a group meeting or something.
"Ferb!" Gretchen shouts as she gestures for him to come over, he looked normal, but to me he looked a mess, he looked like the "more-silent-than-usual" Ferb, which was pretty odd to me. I guess that's because I could tell the difference.
He sat there as the others looked him over, his eyes were turning a hint of pink as his clothes were wrinkled and his left sleeve was hanging off of his shoulder, his hair was messy, and his neutral lips were pulled into a deep frown... Yup. That was the "more-silent-than-usual" Ferb to me. Ferb walked over to them as he sat between Gretchen and Adyson, crossing my legs I sat between Buford and Isabella where there was a convenient open space.
There was an awkward silence between them as I could tell by their faces that they were trying to hold back on attacking my brother with inquiry. That is until someone did, "Dude, why you look so messed up?"
Ferb stared at him in a bit of a cold stare as everyone looked at him as if he'd lost his mind. That is true Buford did at times ask the stupidest of questions, "What?" he breathed when he realized the glares.
"Okay, what are we doing?" Ferb asked trying to get things started.
"Well we checked all of the neighborhood and we even sent a couple of search parties, but have come up with nothing." Milly began. I looked at all of their faces how there was no hope hidden within them, it made my heart ache.
There was again a bit of a silence before Baljeet spoke up, "Yes Ginger and I have scoured all of Maple Drive and the Central Business System parts of town but so far have come up with nothing." he finished, while Ginger was trying to hide a surfacing smile.
"We even broke the law a couple of times."
We, except for Ferb, looked at him awkwardly, yeah that was Buford for you.
"Well we're going to have to do it again." now it was everyone's turn to look at Ferb.
"What do you mean?" Ginger asked.
"We're going to the neighbor next door's house."
"Why are we going there?" asked Addyson.
"Did you already check there?"
"Well no.."
"Then let's go," he stated getting up and walking to the wooden gate that separated the front yard from the back.
"But Ferb, why do we have to check there?" Molly asked, puzzled.
"Did you see where my Mum went?" he asked, alreading knowing the answer.
"Yes she went over to that new neighbor's house, but I don't see how that answers her question..." Ginger stated.
"Lets go." Then he was out the gate.
Everyone sat there for another moment.
"Okay let's go!" Irving said standing up tall and proud.
Everyone stared at him... Even me this time, "W... Where did you come from?" Isabella piped up.
"I was already here..."
"Lets just go." Buford demanded, picking up Baljeet.
"Really Buford is this really the time?"
"Eh it lightens my mood." he replied with a smile. Which of course made me smile, nice to know that Buford hasn't changed.
So we walked to the new house next door, their feet lightly crushing the grass and patting the sidewalk.
After a couple of seconds we were there, of course it was right next door. We stood at the basement window and Ferb turned around, "Okay Isabella and the girls are going to lift me down with their sashes-"
"Wow Ferb's been really chatty today," Holly whispered to Gretchen during Ferb's instructions.
"Got it?"
They snapped out of their conversation as the result of Ferb's question.
I could just feel that this wasn't going to go well as they lifted Ferb down. I was terribly nervous because I know that they didn't get all of his directions. They lift him down, those two being the closest to the window therefor having to pull most of his weight back up if she should ever come downstairs.
I decided to go down with him to protect him on the way, "You see anything Ferb?"
"No just the usual, old dressers and clothes." he responded flashing his flashlight on the items, "Not to mention if reeks down here." he stated, holding his nostrils shut.
"Well keep looking we need this."
"No... I mean it like really... Ew," this made my spiritual heart flutter, of course Ferb could put two and two together, but before he could think; creak...
We both froze. After our four-second trance he quickly struggled to turn the flashlight off before a shadow appeared at the top of the stairs, which I didn't notice was there 'til the door opened.
"Come on Jesse, it's probably nothing,"
"No something or someone is down there." If you looked closely you could see a faint shadow of a knife, my soul was trembling, at that moment I realized a couple of things important to me,but one struck me the hardest: My brother's life. It could end today and right at this moment. I look over to Ferb as he mirrors my actions, but he's standing trying to be flat against the wall.
...
Yeah that's about it, left you with a cliffhanger didn't I? Haha! Wanna know if Ferb survives?
Well you'll have to review. :D WHOA this is 7 whole pages! Dang! And yes that's a lot to me.
