Teacher's Pet

Chapter 22: When shit hits the fan

Waking up the next morning, I realized it was almost 7. The kids had to be at daycare by 8 and since my mom didn't have to take me to rehearsal until 9, I was going to get the kids to daycare so she can sleep in. Because they both need about the same amount of attention in the morning I woke them up one at a time.

In the car, as I pulled up to the school, we were in the middle of a very serious conversation.

"So, then you stay there for 9 months and that's when mommy says she's ready for you to come to the world. That's where you guys come from."

I say as I park the car hoping their next question wouldn't be why.

"Well what's sex? Regina said her big sister said babies come from sex. So, why'd you say they come from seeds?"

Alicia questioned and it left me speechless. I didn't even know how to answer that... so I didn't.

"Okay! I think that's enough talk. We'll pick this up when... whenever mommy and daddy want to talk about it, okay? Alright, let's go."

I hurriedly got out and helped them out the car. Hugging and kissing them before they went in. Since I was already out, and it was only 7:30, I stopped by Waffle House to get a to-go breakfast. Ironically, I ran into Ally. I forgot she said she loves Waffle House and I was definitely not in the mood to have a conversation about Dinah. Once I ordered, she came over to me.

"Hey, Y/N! How are you?"

She said very happily as she hugged me.

"Hey," I said more solemnly.

"I'm managing, y'know."

"Oh, yeah we heard. You might not want to hear this, but she's really broken up about everything. And-"

The person at the cash register said my name so I could get my order. Once I grabbed it, I turned back around to see her about to finish her statement but I stopped her.

"Listen, I have to be home so I can get ready for rehearsals. This-everything that happened last night, I- uh, I really don't want to talk about it. I haven't even talked to my girls about it yet. I, It's just still fresh and I, I just can't right now. I'm sorry."

"Stop, don't be it's fine. Just, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to call me, okay? I'll answer any time of day. That's why they call me Allysus."

She said making me laugh, which made her laugh as well.

"I definitely will. Thanks, I'll see you."

As I left I really wanted to call Dinah. I mean, she technically just broke up with me. But, I love her. I'm in love with her. She's the love of my life and the last time I went this long without talking to her, was when we fought about my 'situation'. And I still had some sort of communication to her through the girls and she was constantly on my phone trying to talk to me. Now, it's silence and it's killing me. But, if I call or text her now I will break down again and that can't happen before I go to rehearsals. Which is now in an hour and fifteen minutes so, I had to hurry and get home.

When I walked into my house I was expecting my dad to be gone already to work and my mom to be getting ready. But, when I walked in the door they were standing in the living room looking serious.

"Woah. What happened here? What did I miss?"

They just looked at each other. My mom spoke first.

"Come sit down sweetie."

She said really cautiously.

"Okay..."

I said putting my food on the coffee table before sitting down. They were silent a little bit longer making me really confused.
