Welcome To My Messed Up Life
Chapter 6
The Fight, and Weird Question
It had been a week since the sleepover me and Fiona had had. Mom was suppose to be coming home today which had me scared for my life. Brianna and Sandy really did know each other and it scared me how much she was like her older brother. Eli had somehow gotten real close to Brianna. Now when ever either of them talked about guys he went in over protective brother mood. I thought it was cute and funny, but he didn't.
"Why is she making us do a freaking essay on nothing?" Eli ask me as we were working on our English assignments. I just laughed. He didn't really like being told what to write about but loved to write. I just rolled my eyes.
"Its not that hard. All you have to do is write about one person in your life. You don't have to say who on it." That made me happy since I didn't really have many people to write about. He was about to say something when someone walked in.
"Clare who died?" My mom ask walking in. I guess she had seen Eli's car outside. "Oh, your the boy I caught swapping spit with my daughter." She said once she finally saw Eli. "Hate to tell you boy but she already has a boyfriend." Mom said and Eli gave me a weird look.
"No she don't Eli. Don't listen to mom." Brianna said coming down stairs with Darcy following her. She gave me a look of sorrow. She finally got Brianna in her arms. "Put me down Darbie! I wanna talk with my brother and sister!" She said screaming and using the nickname she gave Darcy a little bit ago. "Eli help me! She's being a meanie head!"
"I'm so sorry Clare." Darcy told me and I just smiled. "I tried keeping her in my room so you and Eli could work on your English assignment when she got away saying 'I'm gonna go see my brother'."
"Come her little Bri Bri." Eli said holding his hands out with a sigh. He loved her like a little sister, but sometimes wanted to be away from little kids. "I swear sometimes your too clingy." He told her with a mumble. She looked over at me.
"Sissy what does Clingy mean?" She ask me and we had to laugh. She just shrugged her shoulders looking at the paper in Eli's hands. "The s-s-story of a gi-gi-girl." She said reading it with a little stutter. His eyes grew wide at her reading it and put it in his folder. "Why are you writing about a girl?" She ask with a giggle.
"Because it my assignment for school and you and Sandy are both real noisy." He said hitting her lightly on the nose making her giggle. Mom got a sigh of relief.
"Oh, so you have a girlfriend. Why are you cheating on her with my daughter? Clare why are you cheating on your boyfriend with him?" Mom ask and that's when I decided to get up the nerve to stand up to her.
"Sorry, Mrs. Edwards, but Sandy is my little sister. She's in Brianna's class which is kinda how me and Clare became friends." Eli said then mom started giving Brianna daggers.
"Oh so its your fault your sister is cheating on him?" She ask making Brianna scared a little. She clung on to Eli and he just rubbed her back letting her know everything was okay. "I new your were no good to this family."
"Brianna don't listen to her. She's just messing around with you." I told her as she laid her head on Eli's chest. I looked at Eli. "Can you take her outside to play? I'll be out in a minute." I told him and he nodded putting her on his back with a giggle from her. I smiled. "How can you blame Brianna for stuff I do?" I ask my mom with hateful eyes.
"Because if she hadn't brought over that little girl then you wouldn't of kissed that ugly boy." Mom said with vermin in her mouth. I just sent her daggers.
"Its not even them that got us together. It was my English class. He's a grade a head of me and we got paired together as English partners for the rest of the year." I told her and she sent me daggers as well. Darcy finally stepped in.
"Mom Eli isn't that bad. He get's along with everyone. Even little Madison is warming up to him. Nobody likes K.C anymore. He's going to be a father to some other girls baby." Darcy said her eyes getting darker. Madison hated Eli, but what mom didn't know wouldn't hurt her.
"I don't care your getting back together with K.C whether you like it or not." She said and that's when I lost it. I couldn't take it anymore. I was fixing to let it all out.
"No mom I'm not. Yes at one time I did like him. After all the hell we went through and he wasn't there for me. I won't tell Eli anything of my past and yet he's still here. He almost doesn't know anything. The only thing he knows about is the reason of us moving was because of Grandma and dad's death. You may not like him, but I'm truly happy with him. He's my everything right now. Get over only caring about yourself and Madison. You have three other kids too you know. Everyone but you and Madison is happy with me being happy. I'm done with you two. Have a nice life." I told her and walked off outside.
"Sissy what happen? I just herd yelling coming from inside. Is everybody okay?" Brianna ask me and I just smiled at her. If it wasn't for her and Darcy I may would've done killed myself by now.
"Yea everything is fine we just might want to get out of here for a while. You wanna go to the dot and see Peter and everyone else there?" I ask her and she started smiling. She had gotten close with Eli and Peter. I thought it was cute since Peter was Darcy's boyfriend and everything.
"Yea can we?" She ask me and I smiled. She looked over at Eli. "You wanna join us too?" She ask him and he just laughed a little. "Please Eli! Oh, please, please, please?" She ask begging him to no end.
"OK, fine come on. We can take my car or do you wanna walk?" He ask Brianna but looking at me more then he was her. I looked over at Brianna who was thinking real hard about the answer.
"Let's take the car. I love riding in it." She said jumping up and going to the car. I just laughed and walked to the car with Eli holding my hand. "Hurry up slow pokes." She told us causing Eli to roll his eyes and me to laugh.
"Were coming." I told her as we got to the car. I got in and Brianna scoot over in the middle. She was scared of the back for whatever reason so we let her sit in the middle.
When we finally got to the dot after not even five minutes of driving Brianna jumped up over my lap and was in the door of the dot within seconds. I just laughed as she went to our usual spot at the counter. We finally reached her and Peter already had her a sprite. I just rolled my eyes. Then he brought out two more sprites and put them on either side of Brianna.
"Where's your sister at today? She hasn't come over at all." He said and I had to give him a questioning look at this. Darcy was always over after school. Then I realized she had stayed at the house to keep Brianna out of our hair.
"Probably screaming at momma." I muttered and he just rolled his eyes. Darcy had done told him everything that had ever happen to us. He still manged to stay with her even after that. "She came home to keep Brianna out of our hair then me and Momma got in a screaming match."
"Got ya." He said then the door went off. I looked over to see Ali and Jenna enter through the door. Oh what a joy. "Usual sweet tea?" Peter ask the two as they nodded there heads. They sat beside me.
"So how's it going Clare?" Ali ask trying to make conversation. I just smiled at her while Brianna tugged on my shirt. "Babysitting your little sister I see." Ali said and I just laughed.
"Peter I need more to drink with-" Before she could even finish her sentence Holly J came over and took care of it for him. He gave her a grateful smile.
"French fries, right Little Bitty Edwards?" Holly J ask her and Brianna smiled nodding her head. Holly J went got her some more of her drink and brought it back. "Don't worry about it today guys. Peter said it was on the house." She told us and I smiled grateful.
"Thanks Holly J and Peter." I said while smiling at them. Then I turned to Ali. "Its going good Ali. Yea I'm stuck babysitting right now, but it doesn't bother me any. So how are you doing?"
"I'm doing good." She smiled at me. She was getting fed up with Jenna a little from what she had told me through texts. "You know what you should do that would be good for Jenna and K.C?" She ask me and just then Jenna looked up from hearing her name.
"And what would that be?" I ask her with curiosity getting the best of me. She looked at Jenna then me then to little Brianna I got what she was talking about.
"You should let her babysit Brianna or Madison so she can get a feel of what being a mother will be like. It be easier for her to have Brianna since she is closer to the age." Ali said with a smirk on her face that Jenna couldn't see. Jenna's eyes got big and a smile was put on her face.
"That's a great idea Ali. You should let us take her off your hands tomorrow. Give you some time with your friends and everything." She said and Eli just gave me a look of I wouldn't. I looked over at Brianna.
"How would you like to hang out with Jenna and K.C tomorrow?" I ask her and her eyes glanced around the room til they hit with Jenna's.
"Her?" She ask pointing at Jenna. I nodded my head. "The big fat fake blonde?" She ask me again and I was shocked at where she got that from. Eli started laughing while I sent him daggers.
"She's not fat Brianna. She has a baby in there." I told her ignoring the fake blonde part. She did an 'o' shape with her mouth. She gave me another look.
"Who was the dude that put the baby in there? Was it K.C? I'm glad you two don't go out anymore. I didn't like him much anyway." She said rambling on. Eli started laughing more. "I guess I could hang out with them tomorrow. Do I have to act like a real girly girl or what do I do?" She ask me and I looked over at Ali and Jenna. Before Jenna could say anything Ali beat her to it.
"Just be yourself. Don't act like anyone you aren't." Ali told her. Holly J and Peter who had been standing there the whole time were smiling. Brianna liked them so she was nice to them. She didn't like Ali that much so she new what she would be like to them. We all new she didn't like Jenna or K.C so this would be interesting.
"Okay will do, but were going to the park and I'm bringing my bike. Its spray painted black with red flames on it. Wait I can bring the one Eli got me or do I have to bring that other one that's purple?" She ask me and I sat there with a sad face.
"You've always liked that one I got you." I told her and Eli just smirked at me. I sent him another set of daggers.
"Looks like she has another favorite older sibling. Told you I'd get her away from you." He said and I just rolled my eyes. "Oh come on, you know you like me for it." He said still smirking.
"Yea yea Eli. Your just lucky I decided to give you a chance. There are other guys from my old school lining up to go out with me too." I said and he stopped. I smiled. "Now, Brianna, I guess you could take that one. If mom ask we-" She cut me off.
"Found it on the side of the road and decided to see if it still worked." She told me and I gave her a high five. "I don't know why she don't want her girls liking the color black. Pink and purple are just to girly." She said with a shake.
"We'll see you tomorrow at the park at one." Jenna said with a smile and her and Ali left. Once they were gone me and Eli started laughing.
"This is gonna be fun." I said and Holly J gave me a look.
"Why is that?"
"Because Brianna's done told me she doesn't like either of them. She will be a handful for them." I said and Holly J just rolled her eyes. Just then the door opened and Darcy walked in talking with Declan.
"Declan!" Brianna screamed running up to him and hugging him. She had made friends with everybody from the time we started living here. She loved everybody, for the most part, and they loved her right back. "Are you here to see Holly J?" She ask with a little giggle. He just laughed with her.
"Yes I'm here to see Holly J." He told her and she grabbed his hand taking him to Holly J. He smiled at her and gave her a kiss. "Hows it been going today?" He ask her.
"Doing good. Just another hour then I'm off the clock." She told him and he smiled at her. Eli came over to me and sat beside me in Brianna's seat. "Hey you have a problem there Eli." Holly J told him and he gave her a confused look. We turned around to see Brianna had that foot taping with her arms crossed.
"No we don't Holly J. Come here Bri Bri, you can sit in my lap." He told her and she just gave him a mad look.
"No!" She told him. He gave her a look.
"No?"
"Yea, no, I want to get on your neck." She said and he sighed, got up and put her on his neck. "Sissy?" She ask me looking down at me almost in tears. "I miss daddy. He would do all this kinda stuff with me. Where did he go again?" She ask me and I sighed telling her.
"He went to see Grandpa and Jay. Grandma did too." I told her and she sighed. Dad use to do all that kinda stuff with her.
"Will Momma ever get married so I can have another dad?" She ask me and that caught me by surprise. I looked around at everyone for help.
"You only get one dad." I told her and she started crying. Eli took her off his shoulders and let her cry in his chest. "I didn't mean to make you cry. You'll see daddy again someday. Just not right now. He wants you to be happy right now." I told her and she sighed and stop crying.
"I just miss him. Why did he get taken away from us? Its not fair, you said so yourself." She told me and Eli gave me a look. When it came to my dad I acted like I didn't care.
"I know its not, but everything happens for a reason." I told her and she went back to smiling. She looked over at Declan then at Eli. They gave each other weird looks.
"Do you two wanna play a game?" And with that ask my little sister was back. I smiled at how she was with everybody. I had done decided I wanted to see how it went with her, Jenna, and K.C.
To bad Eli talked me in to not going. Even though he wanted to see how it went too.
Oh how will Brianna act with Jenna and K.C? Hmm, I don't know, oh wait, yea I do cause its already written. All you have to do to read it is let me get at least 5 reviews! =) Please? It would make my day! I'm already on like chapter eleven of this thing! =)
Anyway, so who else can't wait for the new episode of Degrassi tomorrow? I know I can't and I'm already sweating with sweat wanting to see it lol! I hope they don't break up, or if they do they at least get back together sometime!
I'm already mad cause they broke up Declan and Holly J to have her go out with Sav who should be going out with Anya! On top of that they have Fiona going after Holly J instead of Adam? How screwed up are these writers? I got over them breaking up Alli and Johnny and then her and Drew! Drew and Bianca kinda grew up on me but really Eli and Clare?
Okay I'm rambling again! I'm sorry! =( Had to get it off my chest since my parents get tired of hearing about it! =) Welp, tell me what you think about it! Why exactly does she act like this with her dad? The viewers may never know lol! =)
Bye for now! =)
