NOTE TO READERS: Thank you all so much for your notes and for showing
support. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I'll try my best to update
sooner this time, but school starts soon, so it may be a little while. Oh,
someone told me I should change the rating of my story and I was just
wondering what rating I should change it too. I figured PG-13 was good, but
I could be wrong. OK well tell me what you think.
*******I still don't own a thing********
Matt scurried around his older sister's bedroom searching for something, anything, that was proof of what he had suspected for the longest time. A week ago he had found a list with various names on them that he assumed were the possible fathers, but that wasn't enough for him. After going through boxes, books, and old papers he finally came across what he was looking for. It was a thick book with a maroon cover that had "Lizzie's Diary" written on the front. Matt was afraid his parents would hear from all the way downstairs the pounding of his heart as he flipped through the pages. He thought he heard noises on the stairs, but after taking a few deep breathes he realized it was all in his head. He said to himself, "Lizzie wouldn't be home for quite sometime."
The pages were full of many stories and Matt didn't know where to begin. Randomly picking out a page, he read:
"(July 23) Dear Diary, Recently I overheard a conversation between Gordo and his new friends. Apparently Gordo, no I mean Dave, had entered a film festival and was one of the few selected to be a finalist. This morning at around 6 I started a 4 hour drive towards the festival. When Dave presented his film, I hid in the back, so he wouldn't see me. I knew he wouldn't want to see me. I thought he should have won, but sadly he came in forth. Dave seemed depressed and I wanted so badly to comfort him, but....I just couldn't approach him. I ran, like I do from everything else."
Matt flipped ahead a few more pages to see what else was going on in his sister's life. He sat down on her bed and read.
"Dear Diary, Today's date is uncertain and unimportant anyway. Its around 3am, I just snuck back home. The party started out the same as usual, 15 minutes in to it Ethan found me and we had a "trip" in his car. Then coming inside, I saw him, Danny Kelser. He was drunk and looked as if he had been crying, I thought it was the perfect time for a little revenge."
Matt read on to learn of the events of that night. He learned of how Danny and Miranda's relationship had ended and how Lizzie seduced Danny. His eyes were stuck in shock mode. He didn't believe it, he didn't want to, but deep inside of him he knew the truth.
"I arrived home shortly after that and checked to make sure my parents were still asleep, they were. Then slightly opened Matt's door. Peering through the ajar door I could see my little brother sleeping and the tears began to fall. I've been crying ever since. Shouldn't I be happy? I just got back at a person who turned their back at me, but now I think....I......I don't know what I think. Please God, don't let Matt turn out like me."
He could feel the tears leave his eyes and travel slowly down his face, towards his neck. Matt hadn't cried in years and was surprised by his state.
"Matt?" A voice spoke. Matt had been so taken by the book that he hadn't heard the footsteps on the stairs or notice the door open, but he did hear the scream of his name. "MATT!" Looking up Matt saw an angry Lizzie. He had just noticed that Lizzie was beginning to show signs of pregnancy.
Soon Lizzie saw the open diary on his lap and the tears on his face. She was angry, but also very worried. Matt laid the book on the bed and walked with his head down towards Lizzie. She expected him to run downstairs and tell her parents of the slut she had grown to be, but he didn't. Matt looked at straight into her, now also wet, eyes and hugged her.
"I'm sorry." He whispered through his sobs.
"For what?" She was confused and crying. At first she thought it was the hormones, but now she wasn't sure.
Matt pulled away and looked deep into his big sister's eyes. "For not being there for you."
ANOTHER NOTE: So what did you think. Its short, yes, but I'll probably update tonight, if I can think of an idea of how to continue.
