I walked out to the back yard of the Pitts house , to talk to my mom and dad on the phone .
They let me know they was not coming here for Thanksgiving .
It is three weeks away and they know that much in advance they are not coming.
My heart hurts , I was so looking forward to seeing them I miss them so much .
I let the tears fall it is gonna happen even . If I fight it .
I just don't understand why they don't want me there . It is like ever since my brother came to stay they don't want me around .
" Oh I didn't know you was out here" I hear from behinde me
It is Shane
" Hi Shane " I say and wipe my tears and hope he don't notice
I sit down on the pool chairs , that are made for sun tanning so I am actually laying in the chair . It is night so there is no tanning going on .
He sits down in the chair next to me but he is sitting up not laying .
When his bright eyes see mine it is like he can see threw me or read my mind .
" What is wrong" he asks
His voice has concern in it .
" it is silly " I say and try to make light of it
" No you are upset " he says
" Did some boy do something to you " he adds
What is he thinking?
" No Shane my parents had said they was gonna come for Thanksgiving and now they backed out " I tell him
" Oh" he says
I know he don't know what to say how could he .
" I am sure there is a good reason I mean of course they want to be with you on the holidays every parents does even mine want to be with me and I am a troublemaker ." He says l
" I don't know it just like Toby walked back into our lives and then they just shooed me off maybe they can only handle one child ." I say
" Toby he is your half brother right I never met him " he tells me
" Yea we only seen him a few times then recently he started to live with us " I tell him
" you know your mom and dad can afford to have more than one child y'all are rich " he states
" Yea but maybe it ain't about money just you know the mental state I don't know I am grasping for
Straws here " I admit
" Hey next thanksgiving you will be with them but this thanksgiving let's make it a great one " he say with enthusiasm
" how " I ask and put a piece of my hair behind my ear
" I don't know but we will come up with something " he tells me
I laugh
" you know you are not bad like everyone says you are" I say and smile
" No I am you know I am the trouble maker " he tells me
I shake my head and laugh.
" I am really see I have not done as much since you been here " he tells me
" I don't believe you ever have " I say
His eyes go wide
" I have slept with girls just get back at their boyfriends " he says
That does sicken me but it not really bad
" All boys sleep with girls the fact you was getting even with their boyfriend is just a coincidence " I say
" I got Tim expelled last year" he tells me
" But why what did he do to you ?" I ask
" He said he could bench more than me " he says and laughs
" I set him up so it looked like he cheated on a test " he says
" He forgave me but honestly I didn't care if he did or not " he adds
This is not like the him I know .or knew .
" That is really bad , it could hurt his chance of getting into a good school " I tell him
" Nah his dad got him out of it he did get expelled but only 2 days and. They got it wiped off his record . But I really didn't care , I was mad because I really thought people would believe he could bench more than me ." He says and laughs
That is crazy.
I know I making a strange face because he is looking at me strange .
" You know I can be good . I just I don't know I do get even a lot " he tells me
" I broke up with Samantha " he says out of no where , I am sure he said that to change the subject.
" Really how did she take it " I ask
" She will survive. But you know she was sad ." He tells me
" How are you ?"
I ask
" What do you mean I am fine I am the one who did the breaking up " he says
" Yea but it still hurts every break up hurts " I say so matter of factly
" Did it hurt when you broke up with Andy" he questions
" You mean Austin , yea it did. But it was not love or even like like we was like friends " I tell him
" with benefits " he asks with raised eyebrows
" we kissed a little " I admit
" So wait if he was your only boyfriend then that means you are a " he says and begins to laugh so hard he can't finish his sentence but I know what he was gonna say
" Ok yes I am a virgin " I admit
"why I know you said you was more like friends but if he was in a relationship with you but not sleeping with you he must be gay " he tells me
" I mean what straight boy could be in a relationship with you and not sleep with you ." He adds
But I don't think he meant to say it
I am a little offended but I am a little flattered.
" he is not gay he is a gentleman " I state
" Nah no way"he says and shake his head
" So if you wanted to break up with Samantha why did you thank me by taking me to the bar barn .?" I ask
" Because it would have been a sence " he yells and jumps up
Why is he so mad ?
I just look at him .
" These girls are so dramatic you don't get it I know all teenage girls are but these girls are another level so It was thank you for saving me the horrible scene " he tells me
It don't make sense to me but whatever .
We just sit for a little while before we go to our own rooms
