We'll Take The World By Storm
One
I awoke to my alarm clock buzzing. It was the beginning of my senior year, not that it really mattered much to me. I shut it off then slowly got out of bed so I could get ready. I wasn't looking forward to the year. Most kids are excited to leave home but I'm not. I'm very close to my brother Ben and in all truth, I really don't want to leave.
Yeah, he loves me but he's getting married soon so I have to leave. Without him, I'd be stuck in New Zealand with our Aunt Elizabeth who believes that being a girl and having short hair, wearing pants, and listening to music is a sin. Oh, yeah, the reason I'd be stuck there is because our mom died a few years back and it was either my brother took me in or I get shipped off to her.
He knew that me getting sent there was a fate worse than death so he took me in. I didn't really need to live with anybody because our mom was in the hospital a lot so I was constantly on my own but the state said I needed a guardian until I turned eighteen so he took me in.
When I got downstairs, he and his fiance Kristen, who lived with us, were eating breakfast. "Hey sweetie, excited for your last year of high school?" she asked me.
"I guess," I replied grabbing a bowl for cereal.
"I wish that mom were here to see how far you've gotten and see how good your grades are," Ben said.
We ate in silence but I saw the looks they were giving each other.
"God guys, please spare me the looks. If you want to do it, please wait until after I leave for school," I said with a look and a tone that screamed disgust.
"Cayden, it's not like that," she said. "We wanted to wait until later to tell you but we just can't wait." Ben walked over and grabbed her hand, then looked back at me. "We're pregnant," they said smiling.
"Are you serious?! I'm gonna be an aunt? Guys, wow, that's so cool When are you do?" I asked.
"Sometime in May," she said.
I looked at the clock and realized I was going to be late for school. "I'll see you guys later. Love you both; actually, more like you three. Bye," I said grabbing my messenger bag then running out the door.
When I got to school, my boyfriend was waiting outside for me.
