Chapter four
In the streets of California in a two storey building house is where this family live. Kathleen was having breakfast with her mom and two elder brothers. Her stood up to answer a call, Jaden had his headphone on and Damien was making fun of Kathleen's new hat."You look funny", laughed Damien.This made Kathleen smiled. She wanted to laugh at his new haircut but closely looking at it,She realised it really suits him. Her brother is indeed handsome, his blue eyes, cute lips and now short curly hair really suits him. But what's the fun in saying this to him. "You look stupid with your haircut", She said laughing.
Damien couldn't believe it,his little sister can say that to him.But who cares, He love her so much. They were making fun at each other when Jaden told them to keep it down. "Kathleen you look hyper today,why Jonas said he love you", Jaden said to her in a mocking tone. This big of mouth of Damien.Why must she tell Damien about Jonas when he is going to say it to Jaden.Yeah Jonas told her he love her but that's not why she's happy today. "Jaden why are you looking handsome today,why is Samantha coming over",she said in a mocking tone. Damien couldn't stop laughing. Their sister is a little devil. She always win when it comes to making fun of each other. Jaden is a college graduate who come to visit them every weekend, sometimes with his girlfriend Samantha. Damien is still in college and she is in her final year in highschool. Jaden is the eldest, calm and quiet at times. Damien is simply Damien.He can talk, laugh,joke and worry her all day but he's quiet and very cold to other girls. She love them very much.
"Jennifer,Jonas proposed to me last night", Kathleen said to her friend on the phone. That took Jennifer by surprised."What did you say", Jennifer asked her friend. Kathleen didn't answer. Silence! That's what she gave Jonas.The boy had waited for her at their front door, confessed his feelings only to be completely ignored.She didn't exactly ignored him,She wanted to accept but she knew how hardwork it will be to be in a relationship. That too with your friend. Besides Jonas said he was kidding, "it's a prank",she recalls that what the boy said.The nerve of that boy. What the fun in telling her brothers and friend that it was a prank. She will make them believe someone actually love her. She can't explain these to Jennifer.
Jennifer didn't ask again. She know that side of Kathleen. she talk when she wants to. They've been friends since preschool yet Kathleen keep things from her."what are you doing", Kathleen asked. "I'm babysitting Tom", Jenny said in a bored tone. "Well I'm glad I don't have a baby brother",she said making fun of Jenny.
Kathleen room is next to Damien's and she liked it. She could borrow anything she wants easily. They will watch TV at times in his room. She like herself better with Damien around. They laugh, they fight,they make fun of each other. The thoughts, the fast heartbeat was coming again.She needed a distraction and Damien was the right guy for that. She got up from her bed,wore her slippers and headed to his room. She was in a big pink blouse and black jeans ,her hair messed up from lying in the bed for so long.
Before she could open his doornob, She saw her mom shouting in the next two room.
She couldn't enter because she knew her mom will tell her to leave. one time she heard her mom crying in her,she wanted to help but her sent her out. Kathleen placed her ear closer to listen.She was talking to someone on the phone. "Kevin She's your daughter not mine" , Kathleen wouldn't have heard this if she didn't her ear wasn't closer to the door.Her mom said in a small tone that it was as if she hasn't said anything. She could hear her mom still talking to Kelvin but she couldn't hear her words again. All she could here was how fast her brain was processing her mom's words.Kelvin? that's her dad's name. She is your daughter,her dad have only one daughter. She couldn't believe the last words. not mine! not mine! not mine!
All those years of being treated differently made sense. She's isn't her mother. She didn't want to believe but it was true. She needed to think. She can't do it here. She went back to her room, took her backpack, phone and some money. she was looking for her medicine when she unintentionaly saw herself in a mirror. "Nobody",her said to herself hating herself more. She won't blink. She tears were coming but she won't let them. A father who leave her daughter to her step mom after divorce. Kathleen lost the little self respect she has for herself at that thought. She walked from her room, passed by Damien's door, the next room and the room where she could still hear that woman talking.The walked passed where they were eating breakfast this morning till she reached their front door. She wanted to go back and listen to her mom explanation but she was too deep in her thoughts to listen to any reason for what she just heard. Her thoughts was in control of her body now. It told her to leave and that's what she did.
The storm was heavy that night. James has been driving the hall day with his friends. He planned to rest this weekend but Peter destroyed it. They went out with a couple of friends the whole day.
They went to a park, restaurant and a shopping mall. They talked about random things and girls. And he met a girl today. He smiled when that crossed his mind. He likes her. The girl is very beautiful. More beautiful than Miss makeup. He seem to have gotten over the feelings he had for her. He's a heart-throb, wanted by every lady, why should he be obsessed with a strange teenager.He felt pride at that thought. His black Mercedes couldn't fight the storm anymore. He will have to pull over at the nearest store. "I won't risk dying when I have just meet a beautiful girl today.", he thought. He saw a restaurant and parked his car. He entered the restaurant.wait!, just when he thought it was over, he saw that face again.This time she wasn't crying, She wasn't with a blank expression. She was eating. She had her earphone on. She was smiling. Very happily smiling as if she was eating with someone. She was smiling way too much and that really scared him.
