When Boomer was opening the door, I made the huge mistake of drinking water.
And when he opened the door, I kind of, maybe spit it all over Buttercup.
And she blew up.
On everyone.
I didn't pay much mind to her, because I was busy staring. Staring at my cousin Priscilla, who's engaged to my boyfriend, who got me pregnant while she was pregnant too.
She walks towards us, and smiles. I'm so tense, I feel as if my muscles are cutting through my skin right now. She takes a deep breath, and begins to speak. ''Well, my dear cousins I just came to give you the good news. I'm sure you got the invitation yesterday, but I just wanted to come in person, and tell you guys!'' She seems so damn happy, how could I do this to her? My mind is so torn.
And before she can even let my sisters give me the death glare (Buttercups specialty, as I like to call it)She clears her throat and continues ''and, I'm expecting a baby!'' She starts clapping, and smiling and everyone in the table tenses up. We all clap, and laugh and enjoy the moment with her, but from the looks of my sisters faces, I know this night is not going to end well.
And then, she pulls this shit out of her ass.
''Also, I wanted to introduce you to my fiance, and the father of my baby, Aaron Harold Cole.''
And in walks Aaron fucking Cole, the father of my child.
When Priscilla walks back to the door, to bring him inside my sisters turn around and just look at me. As I expected, I received Buttercups death glare, Blossoms famous disapproving ''I'm going to kill you when they're gone'' look, and the boys can't even meet my eyes. I feel so fucking ashamed, and to make matters worse HE'S here. In my fucking house, while his FIANCE is here, and we're both pregnant.
I sigh, as I hear the all too familiar footsteps, and it takes me so much from breaking down and running to my room when he walks in, and doesn't even acknowledge my presence, knowing exactly where he is. I'm sure he's fucking scared shitless.
I'm not even worried too much about Pris, or him. I'm worried about what Buttercup is so tempted to do, I know that look, her nervous tick, and she's biting her top lip. She means business.
Well Aaron then struts in the house, and Priscilla introduces us all, as ''one of her favorite cousins in the world, and their friends.''
Priscilla asks Blossom where the bathroom is, and she directs her, and in the meanwhile I feel Aaron's eyes on my face, and I can't help but to look back at him and smile. It's just my natural instinct, I catch myself and quickly wipe the smile off my face, roll my eyes and look away. No one understands how hard this is for me, I have never regretted anything so much in my life.
When Priscilla comes out of the bathroom, everyone resumes their game face and we all keep pretending everything is fine.
I honestly thought this was the worst day of my life, but I didn't know it was this fucking horrible. I feel so bad for Priscilla, but only because she's so naive. Everyone in this fucking room know what's going on except for her, because I am beyond sure that my sisters and the boys figured everything out the moment Priscilla opened her fucking trap. She just HAD to come, she just had to announce this stupid marriage, and her stupid pregnancy. So much for telling my sisters myself. Now what I'm really curious about, is how the fuck he had the balls to come to my house, with HIS WIFE, HIS PREGNANT FUCKING WIFE GOD DAMMIT.
After about maybe 20 minutes or so, Priscilla finally decides it's time to go, and I don't even know if that's a good thing. She left, thank god, but my sisters are going to give me HELL. I can already sense it, my sisters are too easy to read. I can already see the fumes coming out of Buttercups head, and Blossoms face turning red for screaming so much.
Buttercup and Blossom don't even have the decency to wait until she leaves the building, nontheless the floor. About 30 seconds after Brick closes the door, Blossom sighs and opens her mouth to start shouting but Buttercup buts in before her ''Our cousin Priscilla Bubbles? OUR GOD DAMNED FUCKING COUSIN BUBBLES? THERE WASN'T ANY OTHER MEN YOU COULD CHOSE FROM?! I was pissed when you told me you were pregnant by a man that's engaged, I was even more mad when you told me his fiance was pregnant too, NOW THIS SHIT TOOK ME OVERBOARD. I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING LOOK AT YOU IN THE FACE WITHOUT GETTING PISSED. You are such a fuck-up Bubbles, you don't even know the extent of my fucking anger.'' Buttercup is breathing heavily, trembling and biting her lip. I know I've pushed her beyond her the boundary of anger she has. I look around, and everyone except for Blossom and Buttercup avoid my eyes.
And that's when Blossom speaks up ''I'm not going to scream at you, I did enough of that today Bubbles. I'm just so beyond aggravated with you, and disappointed. How do you think this would ever be okay? You are tearing a marriage apart, you are practically tearing this whole family apart. Because of your selfish needs, you are dividing a family Bubbles, do you even know how serious that is? A family that has always been there for us and dad when we've needed their help. A family we've spent thanksgiving and Christmas with for the past 17 years Bubbles Andrea. Beyond the division, you are ruining our cousins happiness, she loves him so much, and as much as you don't want it to happen, Aaron is going to be married to Priscilla as long as they both live, and he will always be the father of her child, or children. The only thing you're going to be is the whore he slept with because he didn't love her, because he doesn't love anyone. He isn't capable of love Bubbles, when will you see that? He's only with you for the sex, and for the thrill because he can't stand being with Priscilla all day. How many times has he talked to you since you told him, what did he do? Nothing. He's no good for you, and no good for anyone in this family. Bubbles look at your friends, they can't even look at you in the face, no one has respect for you anymore. Except maybe Butch, but he's all for drama. Not even Boomer who loves you so much, can look at you. You've been too busy with your romance to even notice Boomer is in-love with you, but it's probably all gone now. And most important of all, you lost all my respect, and trust. I hope this little relationship has made you happy, because you've officially lost it all.'' As she says the last syllable, the tears are already coming down hard on my face.
I look at the boys, and we all stay quiet for a few moments.
The first to speak up, as usual is Butch. ''You know, she's right. About it all, about how you're messing up family, your sisters respect, my love for unnecessary drama, and Boomers unconditional love for you.'' I look at Brick, and he nods his head and looks away.
By this time, Boomer has gotten up from the table, and since I have nothing left to lose I say ''Boomer no wait, please stay here. You're my bestfriend please don't be the one to leave me.''
And that's when Boomer actually spoke up, turned around and spat.
''That's what you have Aaron for, right?"'
And then he walked away, from me, our friendship, and maybe even love.
