Chapter 5 – Dreaming
It had been only a few days since we had all had the shock of Clarissa's pregnancy. The thought of telling her parents was no where near her mind. It was amazing how so much had changed so quickly not only was Clarissa pregnant but I didn't like Chad anymore. Everything had been so busy that I hadn't seen mom very much. Part of that was due to the fact that she was "in love" with Andrew, but whatever I didn't have time to worry about that. Tonight was Aaron and I's movie night. We hadn't seen each other much since he had kissed me. I guess it had put me in such shock I didn't think of it not to mention everything else that had happened that night.
Anyways I was ready to head over to Aaron's house so I grabbed my cell phone and walked on over. His mom wasn't home tonight and we were going to be alone. I wasn't sure what to expect. "Hey, tonight we are going to watch Red Eye." He said as he answered the door. "Okay." I answered.
We sat on the couch side by side and I could tell there was something there that hadn't been before. Half way through the movie I felt his hand slip into mine. At first it felt awkward but after I had relaxed it all felt right. I sat there deep in thought. I'm finally falling for him just like everyone said I would I thought as the movie went on.
The movie ended and I was about to go home. "This was fun." He said. I stepped out the door and he pulled me close to him. I knew what to expect next and unlike last time I was ready and actually wanted it to happen. He leaned in and kissed me softly. Sparks didn't fly but I knew that he was that guy I had been looking for. I pulled a way with a big smile on my face.
I walked into the house and heard my mother talking on the phone. Her voice was very exciting and enthusiastic I walked in and saw it. There on her finger was a gigantic ring. My mouth dropped open. I wasn't sure weather I should be mad at her or happy for her. Since Andrew had come into her life she had been so happy. But at the same time there was a little voice in the back of my head that kept getting louder. It was telling me that Andrew was going to take my absent fathers place. I decided to be happy. I was in to good a mood to be pissed.
"Macy!!! I'm getting married!!! Oh my goodness can you believe it I'm so happy…" She went on and on with all the details until I finally just hugged her and said
"Mom I'm so happy for you!" She looked at me in shock.
"You are? I thought you didn't like Andrew." I sighed.
"Mom I know how happy he makes you and if I were to take that from you I don't think I could live with myself." She smiled and hugged me. After a long conversation about all the planning ahead for us I went to my room to check my email.
This was the first email I opened:
Macy Brown:
"Hi. You don't know me. My name is Trevor Burnette. I am your Biological father. I know this is probably a big shock to you but please continue reading this instead of closing it. I know I have made a lot of mistakes and I was hoping that I could meet you and explain and answer any questions you might have. I can understand if you don't except this invite. Please take time to think about this and let me know if you make a decision. "
As I finished the last line I felt tears run down my face. How could this be happening? I was so confused with everything else that had happened in the last two months and my life was starting to get back to normal and this happens. I decided to think about what to do. I shut down my computer and laid down. So much was running through my head I was going crazy! What was next Clarissa having twins? I thought to myself in a joking manner.
