"Hola, clase." Mrs. Olivera greeted us. I went to an open
seat with one next to it. Courtney dropped her books on the
desk right next to mine. I smiled at her.
I wasn't paying attention to the Spanish terms that the
teacher was going over. My mind was somewhere else.
Thinking about other things.
I thought about Ryan. What did Lucy think of the whole
situation? Was she mad that he kissed me? I sure would be
if I was her. She's having his baby. Sure, I was upset
about that. But I might as well try to let them be happy.
And since it was under my power, I definitely wouldn't
let myself put them down and threaten Lucy. But I would if
I wasn't trying to keep my reputation on the good
side.
The other thing. What did Ryan think of the situation? He
said he still loved me...and he showed that by kissing me in front
of my mom, Lindsey, Jason, and his own wife. It didn't
seem right to me. Why in the world would Ryan want me over
Lucy? I mean come on, Lucy is beautiful. My mind flashed
back to one day when we were at the park on our 3 year
anniversary.
---Flashback---
"Do you want to know something?" Ryan said after
grabbing my hand while we were swinging. "What?"
I smiled at him.
It was a perfect day. There wasn't a cloud in the sky
that wasn't white and fluffy. The birds were chirping
their usual melody. Dogs were being walked and kids were
throwing their frisbees and playing basketball. It was just
the perfect day for everyone. The perfect place to spend
our third year anniversary.
"Ryan, what is it?" I asked. He didn't answer
me after about 30 seconds, but it was the longest 30
seconds I've ever experienced.
He hesitated before saying the next thing. "I'm
going to marry you someday."
"Promise?"
"Pinky promise." He stretched his pinky across
the space of the unmoving swings. I smiled at him as I
curled my pinky around his.
---Flashback Ends---
It was funny how easily a promise could be broken. Well,
not funny. But I think you know what I mean.
Back to my thoughts about things.
What did my mom and dad think? My dad seemed overjoyed with
the whole situation.
But my mom. I didn't know if she was over that my dad
beat me, or not. It was surprising to see her get over it
that quickly.
Lindsey. Lindsey feels like she doesn't have a place in
this family, and I know it. If I was her, I wouldn't
either. My family was knitted back together. My family of
three. And Lindsey didn't really have a place in it.
But I knew my mom and dad were determined to make her
fit in. But was I?
I was snapped out of my thought by the bell ringing.
"You okay?" Courtney asked on the way out.
"No, I'm not. Can't you see? Do I
look okay to you?" I wanted to say. But
I said something else instead.
"Yeah. I'm fine."
"it's not over tonight,
just give me one more chance to make it
right..."♥ ""
