Chapter 1

Work sleep school, thats all I fucking do. Mom left when I was 12. I have had money for food and bills, I learned to cook and clean. I ride my bike everywhere. Now I'm 16 and have a job and no sleep. I sleep in class instead of at home. I still play football but I don't always go to practice. Coach knows what I go through so he isn't worried. He only worries when I don't show up for a week. I get home and it's my day off. I clean the house then sit down right as my butt hits the couch and my doorbell rings. Fuck, I get up open it it's coach and a guy I don't recognize. I said, " It's my day off, can I help you? "

" Yah we need to talk. "

" Come on in. "

I let the guy in and they sat on the couch. " It's about your mom. "

" I don't want to talk about it anymore. "

" Your mother left when she was 20 and she was pregnant with you. "

" I know that. But what does this have to do with you? "

" I'm your dad. "

" Ok so how are you tied into this? "

" I'm your uncle. I have been keeping an eye on you and reporting to your dad. "

" So you knew who my dad was and when I was in need of a parent. I work nights at a junkyard to pay for this house and to pay for bills. And I get not much sleep. I could be a normal teenager but I'm not I have been abandoned and now you're telling me that I had family right in front of me. "

" Can I explain. " The guy said.

" I don't even know who you are. "

" I'm Cheyne. I am the boss of a multimillionaire company. I didn't want to come meet you until I was ready. I was scared you would turn me away. So I. .."

" You were scared. I should be the one who's scared. " I open my door. " Please just leave. " I said.

Coach said" I'm sorry that you went through that but family is here now. "

" I needed a family. I have learned how to take care of myself. So please leave. "

They finally left. I go to the fridge and grabbed some gummies. I grab 5 than just sit there.

Monday comes around I don't want to go do I go to work early.

My boss wants to see me. I can't work any more hours. So I go shopping. I buy a Nintendo 64 and games I sit down on the couch turn on my new pregetion TV. I work nights and not go to school.

Friday comes around and the coach keeps calling me. I ignore him and he will show up. I go out for the day. I get back to my house and a Ferrari is parked in my driveway. I go around back a man is sitting by my pool and drinking my beer. " You have been ignoring my brother's calls. "

" I will shoot if you don't leave. "

" I do care about you."

" How what have you done to help me. "

" When you're mom left you who do you think paid the bills for the last 4 years."

" I was told that my mom had money saved. "

" She was broke. I paid for it. "

I sit on the other chair. " I'm sorry. I was mean to you. "

" no you reacted the way you felt. So don't apologize. I should have came into your life when I found out you existed. "

" Can we start off slowly and see if we can have a relationship. ".

" I like that idea how about a trip to Africa. "

" Nothing rich I like a normal person like going to the movies or going to a arcade. "

" Ok. But go to school. My brother is worried. "

" Why are you here instead of him. "

" He knew that you would leave for the day so he sent me because I can sneak into houses. "

" What do …"

" Let's not get into that. "

" Im going to get drunk if I drink more so I'm going to head home. "

I hug him. He leaves I skinny dip then goes to bed.

The next morning or should I say afternoon I wake up needing to pee. I urinate than head to the kitchen I make eggs and bacon and hash browns. There is a knock on the door. A man said " August would like you to come to his house this evening. "

" Sure. " I say.

I get dressed there is a car in my driveway. I enter it we are driving to a normal looking neighborhood. We reach a 2 story house, he parked opened my door we walk into the house.

Cheyenne is sitting on the couch. " Ah you made it. "

" Yah I had the day off. "

" Well sit and pick a food. "

I pick a bag of chips. He said " what gaming do you like? "

" nintendo 64"

" Ok. "

He goes to a room and comes out with an unopened box an nintendo 64. I open it up and he hooked it up to the tv. He signs into his account. He has every game and dlc. I asked him " can I choose any game?'' "

" Go on ahead. "

I turn on a game.

I beat the game and it's dark. " Can I go home now? "

" Yah. I'll drive you. "

We get back to my house then sleep.

The next day at school its normal coach has been less pushy and protective, but on the walk home a car is following me. I stop when the car passes me. I get home and do my online job.

The big game is on this friday, i have been going to practice. But I have been drinking more. The locker room is noisy as usual. I'm changing when the team is staring at me. " You smell like a bar. " coach said. I shower and put on my uniform. Half way through the game I am not doing well. I am stumbling, and getting hit hard. Coach sees his brother in the crowd and calls him over. I am being forced into the locker room. Cheyne asked, " how much did you drink?"

" 9 beer bottles."

" If you don't stop you will be kicked off the team. "

Fuck it. I grab a bottle from my locker. They call the police and I'm sent to jail.

The judge said I had to live with Cheyne and I have to go to rehab. I got kicked off the team. I got to Cheynes' car and said " Can we sell my stuff? "

" yes. ``We reach my house and I put the garage sign up. I put the price tags on stuff the people start showing up and in 24 hours all of my stuff is sold. I looked at Cheyne and said " Can I borrow your pickup. "

" yes but please dont do anything stupid. "

I head to bed, bath and beyond. I get new bedding, a bedframe, towels, curtains, bath mat set, then I get shampoo and bodywash. The total came to $890.78. I use my card, then head to matres world. I got a memory foam mattress, the total was $500. I pay and see I have 1,000 left. So I saved it. I started driving to Cheyne house. I get there and set up my room. Cheyne came in and said " when you're done I have a Friend coming over. For dinner. "

I got all set up. The room is amazing. I go to the kitchen and the food is made dads celebrity guest left already. I eat then go to bed. Dad came in an hour later and said " I know you just moved in but I'm going to a movie set this weekend and you'll be home alone. "

I already start planning a party.

" I have some alcohol already out of the liquor cabinet and just make sure the house is clean by the time I get back. And there is non alcoholic beer for you. "

The weekend comes by I start telling people to come to my party. I tell them it's a 10 dollar entery fee. People start showing up we drink and I meet a girl. We start talking till she said " You want to go to your room."

" sure. "

She is drunk and im sober this isnt right. She keeps taking off her clothes, " we cant do this."

" sure we c… c…can." she passes out in my arms.. I put her in my bed I cover her up when I try to get up she pulls me closer to her. I check the security cameras, everyone is behaving. So I put on a t- shirt and a pair of boxers. Get in bed with her she cuddles up to me. The next morning I look around my room my bathroom is open and the bed is empty. I peak on the bathroom the girl is vomiting in the toilet she gets done and said " Did we do anything. "

" No I wanted to but I was sober and you were drunk I didn't think it was the right time. "

" Thanks for that. And were are my clothes. "

" On the computer chair. "

She wipes her mouth flushes the toilet puts on her clothes. " So you didn't have sex with me or do anything. " She asked.

" No I didn't want you to regret anything. "

" You are more responsible than other boys our age. "

" I am. "

" Is it awkward if I would like to go on a date. "

" Only if I don't want to which I would like to go in a date with you. "

" I should probably go but here is my number. "

She gives me her number and I send her a text. I escort her out see the house pretty clean. I pick up the trash that's left do the dishes than sweep mop, vacuum all of the rooms. When I'm done i sit on the couch and watch tv.

At 5 am I decided to go to bed. The next day I woke up to the phone going off.

Bailey: hay I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today.

Me: sure I'll meet you at the cafe by Walmart.

Bailey: I can do that how about at 2 o'clock.

Me: it's a date.

I look at the time it's already 1:15 I shower than head to my car. I drive to the cafe see her sitting in a corner. I join her. " Glad to see you. " She says.

" Me too. " I responded.

" What have you been up to? " I ask her.

" Not Much just helping my mom move. "

" I don't see you much at school. "

" We have different schedules. " I respond. My drink is finally done. I drink it she looks at me. " I should tell you something about the party. " Shit did I get her pregnant. " I am on birth control. So we don't have to worry about that. " Thank the lord.

" Ok. "

We talk more about school and about her moving her mom. She

Says that she wants a large family and is only surviving highschool. We sat goodbye and go our separate ways. Getting home a man is talking to dad on the phone. " We have a opening for costume designer for the new war film. If you want the job come to Hawaii. " I enter the kitchen just as dad hangs up the phone. " Dad I want to do the GED. " I said.

"

" Ok. I'll get you registered tomorrow. "

I go to my room play some games. Dad says dinner I head to the living room. I grab my plate start eating. He said " any girls in your life. "

" I don't know yet. "

" We only went on one date. "

" Glad your out there. "

The day ends we go to our respected bedrooms.

The next morning I see a computer on my bed along with a GED book. I open it there is a website. I go to it than start working. At 2 I stop working than go get food. Dad pulls up he sees me in the kitchen and said " did you do work. "

" yes."

" Good. "

A knock on the door dad opens the door bailey is at the door all bruised and crying. I ask her " what happened. "

" My father he came home drunk and my mom and him go into a fight I was in my room and he comes bursting into my room. He calls me a horse and tells me I'm only good for breading he than takes off my clothes and. . . " She cries just cries. I sit her on the couch dad hands her a tea and multiple ice packs. " This should help. " He hands her aspirin. She takes it than said " he finished inside me. " Dad looks like he can kill. " We will get you a plan b pill. "

" This wasn't the first time. "

I asked her " when was the first time."

" A month ago. "

" Are you pregnant."

She slowly nods. " Mom wouldn't let me get a abortion. "

" Do you want one. " I asked.

" Yes. "

" We will help. " Dad says.

He looks around the house comes back in.

" Do you want to stay here. "Dad says.

She nods I show her around she asks if she can take a shower I hand her a towel and help her to the bathroom. She said " I don't have anymore clothes my dad burnt them all. "

" We will get your measurements and order you stuff. I have some clothes you can borrow. "

She disappears into the bathroom I go to my room and grab a pair of sweatpants and a t shirt for her. I see a bra behind my bed. I grab it and take it to the washer. I wash it than hang it up to dry. She walks out of the bathroom with the towel around her body. I hand her the clothes she says thanks. I show her to the guest bed. She changes and I see dad ordering food.

Bailey comes down the stairs in my clothes. Dad saw her and said " how about we get you in real clothes. I hope you like Chinese food. "

" I do. "

" It will be here in 40 minutes. Now let's take you to my workshop. "

I sit and wait for the food. In 20 minutes she comes back up with a real silk t-shirt with blue jeans on. I saw how her butt looks. We sit in silence till there is a knock on the door. I get the food then put it in the kitchen.

Over the next few days she gets a new clothes than she gets can abortion she was down for a few days. The news was alert father, He was arrested. We have to be her guardian. Dad applies, he gets it and now we're getting to know each other. She loves animals and wants to own a zoo. She and I get to know each other a little bit more than my dad does. She is enrolled in a new school. She is doing online like me. But she is doing a full 4 years. 2 are college. She an I jvnt had sex but we do oral. I want to go further but I know what she been through so I don't push anything on her.
