Seto can't ground me. I'm 18 now, an adult. But he's torturing me. He refuses to talk to me. He leaves for work every morning before I wake up, and I don't see him all day. He gets home, and goes straight to his room. I never see him, and when I do, when I try to talk to him, he ignores me. Its like I don't exist. I hate it. My brother is my rock, and now, he wont let me get close to him. I'd rather he ground me. At least then, I have something to go on. But now, I just don't know. It annoys the hell out of me. Zinan called me. He wanted to have some coffee. Eliza thought that it was funny as hell that I got arrested. She was upset that she wasn't there.
"That would have pissed off my parents." It would have. Her grades were slipping. She was still smarter than anyone I knew, but she just wasn't doing as well.
"Hey."
"Hey. How's your mom?" He had moved back in with his mom. She had left his dad.
"She's fine." I'm still mad at him. He got me arrested, he brought the beer. But I just can't stay mad at him, he's my best friend. "I have something that I need to tell you."
"What?" He looked around, he shifted the cup of coffee in his hands. It was warm out, it's July. But coffee is good any time, if you ask me.
"Rosalind is pregnant." Bitter sweet. She's 17. It's a beautiful thing, life is. She's not from here. She's leaving for Spain in like three weeks. And Kanaye. His parents are really odd, strict. They wont take it well. I know that life is a beautiful thing, its wonderful, lovely. But she is young, and… why, is he telling me? "Kanaye isn't the father."
"What?"
"I am."
"What?"
"Kanaye isn't the father of her baby, I am."
"How…"
"It was at your party, we were drunk, we got carried away."
"How…"
"We didn't mean to, it just happened."
"No, global warming just happened. This is different, you two had sex, you got her pregnant. It didn't just happen."
"Hey, she came on to me."
"No dude, She could come on to you till the end of time, you're the one that has the dick, you're the one that has the swimmers. She count do it alone, you had a major hand in it."
"Dude, please! I'm struggling enough with this."
"Dose Kanaye know?" He shook his head.
"He's not going to know. She's going to have an abortion."
"So you're not going to tell him?"
"No."
"And you're going to keep this from him for the rest of his life."
"Yea."
"And you expect me to as well?"
"Yes, I do."
"I cant do that. I can't ever look him in the eye, knowing what you did."
"Yes you can. You're a better person than me. I know damn good and well that this will kill you. Knowing this. But I also know that you will never tell him." He's right. I will never tell anyone. Except Seto maybe, if he decides to talk to me. Zinan is my best friend. If he doesn't want me to tell anyone, I wont. "I love you man."
"I hate you right now."
"Its ok."
