Chapter 2
I skipped going to Chief's house thank god cause I found out the next day that his friend died that night. Sad. Its been a couple of days now, beside the usual skipping school. Those people who hang out at that table have been looking at me strange except Jacob. He act like he don't have a care in the world when it comes to me then he does act like he care. I don't know he's confusing me.
I am now Jamming in my bedroom with Alex now. He's dancing like crazy to rock music. 'Dance, Alex' He moves his little butt. I laugh. Alex, my toddler son. Who would have thought me a 16yr old would have a child? Not me. My sister,Alex real mom, the drug addict who loves to be beat by that bastard. I start to shake.
'Ma' Alex say. I calm down and stop shaking. I pick him up and blow raspberries on his cheek. He laughs. 'Come on, let's go see crazy grandma' I say. We walk, I walk, he's being carried. 'Mom' I call walking down the stairs. 'What?' She yells back. Alex laughs. We walk in the kitchen. She's cooking dinner. 'What's been going on with you lately?' She asks.
I set Alex on the floor and he runs around the house. I sit at the table. 'Same ole' Same ole' I look at Alex play. 'Jade hasn't been to see him' My mom say. 'Good, I don't want her anywhere near my son' My mom sigh. 'That's her son' 'She used my name to give birth to him then she put it on the Birth Certificate, so technically and by law he's my son'
I shake my head at her. 'I still can't believe you would defend her after she left him in the house when he was 3wks old just to get a fix and she hasn't seen him for months also. She chose drugs and Dave over her son.' 'She just needs help' 'We've been trying to get her help for the last three years. She doesn't want it and yet you keep defending her' I say raising my voice.
I start shaking. 'Ma' I stop and look at Alex. I pick him up. 'That's right I'm your mom' 'Stop telling that to him' My mom yells. I look at her. 'What do you want me to say to him that his real mom is a drug addict that doesn't want him' I put him down. 'Go play, Alex.' He leaves to go play. 'You would rather him be with a mom that doesn't want him instead of with someone who has taken care of him since he was little.'
She shakes her head. 'How can his 16yr old Aunt love him like he's her own instead of his 24 yr old mom who loves drug more than him?.' 'She just needs to get clean and she will see what she's missing' I shake my head at her. 'Always favoring your oldest over the youngest, huh?' I ask her. 'Just get out of my face, Mia' I sigh. 'I'm leaving Alex' I say.
I kiss Alex on the forehead before I leave out the door. I sigh. I start walking down towards the beach.
I get to the beach to see I'm the only one on it. Of course I'm the only one, It's the middle of the night. I sigh. I walk to the middle of the beach and lay down on it. I close my eyes. The minute I close my eyes I hear a howl. Stupid Wolves. I sigh. And drift off to sleep. I don't know how long I slept. I feel something furry and warm lay next to me. I open my eyes to see the biggest russet colored wolf in my life. What the fuck? I sit up and the head moves up.
I pat the head and it purrs. I laugh. It looks at me. 'Are you my friend?' I asks it. It shakes it head. My mouth hangs open. He laughs. I narrow my eyes at it. 'You'll make a nice pillow' I say before I lay on the side of it. He wraps his body around me. I sigh. 'Do you think it's wrong to raise a child even though it's not yours?' I ask it. His head turns to me. I look in its eyes. He shakes his head.
I smile. 'I thought it won't, my mom don't think I should parent my son because I'm not his real mom' The wolf growls. I laugh. 'Here let me show you a picture of him.' I take out my cellphone and flip through the photos. 'This is him' I say, holding the phone so that the wolf can see him. Its eyes widen. I smile. 'He's cute' It nods.
'His mom didn't want him' It growls. 'I know, it's like how couldn't you not want a son this cute' I show him a video of him dancing. It laughs. 'He's the cutest thing in the world' I say smiling. 'His mom, my sister is kind of messed up' It looks at me. I close my phone and put it in my pocket. 'She used my name to give birth then signed it on the birth certificate'
He growls. 'Yeah, so then she leaves him at home when he's three wks old. I come home from school to find him crying and his mom no where in sight.' I sigh. 'She disappears for at least 6 months then she comes back and tries to take him with her' He growls. 'Exactly, My mom wanted to give him back to her, I said no then I go to the a lawyer's office to get advice and this lawyer is the most nicest person I have ever met' It growls. 'Well except for you' It nods. I laugh. 'The lawyer doesn't even charge me anything me anything, so he looks into the birth certificate and hospital records. That's when it all comes out that I gave birth to him'
'Me, someone who's all about wrecking havoc around town, gave birth to someone as precious as him.' He licks my cheek. 'Argh, that's yucky' It laughs. 'He's my son by law and there's nothing she can do to take him away' I say smiling. It nods. 'Cool, I just told my life story to a wolf, who I might add is kinda cool' It laughs. I look at my phone.
'It's 3 in the morning' I look at the wolf. 'I've got to go' I say and stand up. The wolf stands up too. I rub its head. 'See ya later, Sport' I say. It growls and I laugh. The wind blows and I sniff. 'What's that smell?' I ask out loud. I growl. The wolf licks my hand. I sigh. 'Ew, you licked my hand.' I say wiping it on my pants leg. It laughs.
'I better go' I say then I walk away from the wolf. I look behind me to see that it's gone. 'Maybe I imagined it' I say. I smirk. 'Nope' I say popping the 'p.' I start the walk back home.
