Him and I

Chapter 36

Ty Pov

"Adonis!"

Adonis. Adonis. Adonis.

A boy. A brother. My brother. I've never had a brother before. I've been an only child my whole life. In both lives. Well, part one and part two. I guess I have no control what part two brings. Apparently it brings uncles, a dad, a second mom, a grandma, and now a brother. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. Sometimes I wish I could go back to my old life. Everything was simpler then. There was me, mom, and that was us. And that was okay. I was okay.

I felt an arm snake around my neck. I looked back to see LLoyd. I smile. I look at Abigail. Shes still doesnt look pregnant, just bloated. Children are a miracle. Im son happy for them. I don't know if thats whats showing though. I wonder what i look like right now. Shocked or angry. I was never angry. Just thrown. I hope I didnt ruin this Magical moment for them. Im so serfish sometimes. Sorry. They really are in love. Theyre about to be in love with another small person. Its crazy to think about.

Lloyd and stayed downstairs for second longer. I listened to Abigail tell me how she was so excited that I knew the news. Now we can plan the room together. I need them to get married. Im about to force it in a second. Lloyd and I headed upstairs. Dad yelled that I cant have any closed doors and blah blah blah. I knew that already. I sat on my bed and he sat on the chair. 50 feet. "How do you feel now?" uhh.

I was okay. We were okay. We had mental health days and movies every now and then. She cursed me out from time to time. I was okay though. LIfe was good. Was it really? In retrospect it looks so mundane. So imple. That was okay. Now its filled with so much color. Everything is better. I think.

"um , Im scared honestly. I wonder what this comes with, Like how much of my life is going to change." Lloyd grinned at me. "Maybe nothing will change, in the best way possible." He's right. Maybe I need to stop worrying. Worrying about nothing. Or maybe there's a lot to worry about.

Lloyd and I talk until his Dad told him to come home. I don't walk him to his car, he's been here enough. I stay in my room and think of all the possibilities of having a brother. I feel so old. We're gonna be 18 years apart. That's a little wild. I slide under my covers and go to bed. I can think tomorrow.

When I wake up I go straight downstairs. Abigail is in the kitchen cooking breakfast. Dad is also already downstairs. I wonder what we doing today? I made my plate. Waffles and eggs. I sit down. "What's the move?" Dad looked up at me from his phone. "You're going with Abigail today. I have somethings I need to take care of." I rolled my eyes. He thumped me. Ow. Abigail did a yay! From the stove. I guess we'll have a nice day.

I'm the car with Abigail we drive to her house. Well her old house. She basically lives with us. She gets out the car and walks in. I opt to stay in the car. She stays in there for a hot second then comes out with a girl. The girl get in the back seat. I don't say anything, but I don't want to be rude. Abigail got in the car. "Ty this Demrest, my younger sister. Demrest this is Ty, my daug- boyfriends daughter." I kinda wished she would have said daughter. Feels like a little sense of purpose. Anyways, so this is the sister. She's young. I wonder how old she is. Demrest waved at me. Okay...

We talked in the car, on the way to our destination. Turns out Demrest is 15, about to be 16. She goes to my school. That school so damn big, I would have never known. Maybe I'll make a effort to get to know her. Maybe. Depends on today. We got out the car at our favorite nail salon. Yes. A nail date! Now we're talking. Im especially excited about dad not being here. I can get my nails as long as I want.

Demrest sits i between Abigail and I. The lady comes over starts to file my nails. Demrest starts to make conversation. "Are you on any extra curricular teams or clubs?" I laughed. "Girl no. I'm to outa shape for any sport and don't care for any clubs." She nodded her head. "Well, I play volleyball and basketball and maybe you could come to a game?" I feel like I just got asked on a date. I mean, maybe I could go. I've never been to a game like that. Never cared about the team, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to cheer Abigails little sister on.
