June in December.
Chapter 7 : June in December (6)
This chapter is pretty important...
We got into Haleys house and I layed on the couch. Camren came over and sat next to me.
"What if she dies. Where will I go?" I asked.
"You have a dad, right?" Camren asked.
"he left us years ago. He wouldnt take us even if they could find him." I said, and I felt the tears comeing back.
"Liveing with foster parents isnt that bad." He said.
I looked up at him and touched a bruise that was on his arm. He looked in my eyes.
"Not everyone is like that." He said.
"I'm not so sure I belive that anymore." I whispred.
"You should. I know its true." He said, takeing the hand that was touching his bruise.
"You belive in alot of stupid things." I said.
He let go of my hand and narowed his eyes. "Like what?" He said, a small smile spreading onto his lips.
"Well, we just said one. Another is nesquick makes everything better." I said.
"It dose!" He said throwing his hands up.
"I dont feel much better." I complained.
"Name another one." He said, moveing closer to me.
"Love." I said.
He frowned. "You dont belive in love?" He asked.
"Not at all. If there was love I would have a dad and my mom wouldnt be in a hospital right now." I whispred, the tears building up.
"But there is love, Amy." Camren said, takeing my hand. "You just need to find it."
"yeah, I'm sure I will." I said sarcasticly.
"I know you will." Camren said.
We smiled at eachother, and slowly moved in closer. Just as our lips were about to touch Haley ran in through the door on the phone.
"What do you mean your snowed in! Its the middle of summer" She yelled. She staredpaceing back and fourth. "Why would you go to Alska!"
Me and Camren exchanged glances.
"A week?" She yelled. "Fine! Wheres the money?" She said calming down alittle. "Ok. Bye."She hung up her phone.
"I need to go food shopping. My aunt and uncle wont be home for a week. How about you go get your stuff and I'll meet you back here." She said.
"Ok. Bye." I said.
She ran out the door. I turnned to look at Camren.
"Want to go to my house?" I asked.
"Sure." He said.
We walked out and to my house in silence. We stopped outside the front door.
"You go in fisrt." I said.
"Why?" He asked and he looked at me. I was startig to tear. "Ok."
He opened the door and walked in. I walked next to him and he grabbed my hand. "You ok?" He asked.
"Yeah. Lets go to my room." I said.
We walked up the stairs and into my room. He sat on my bed and watched me as I grabbed five pairs of skinny jeans and ten diffrent shirts. I grabbed all of the important things and then looked at Jazz. Camren followed my gaze.
"You play?" He asked.
"Yeah. Are you supprised or something?" I asked.
"Alittle. I play to." He said.
"Should I bring it?" I asked.
He looked at it. "Yeah sure." He said.
I grabbed it carefully. "Lets go." I said.
We walked outside and back to haleys. She wasnt home yet, but we walked in anyway. I threw my stuff down and walked to the couch with jazz. Camren sat next to me.
"What song should I play?" I asked.
"I don't know." he shrugged.
(this is for ween4eveer) I suddenly had a flashback from when my mother was pregnat with Lilly and my dad was still there.
She looked alive and happy back then. She was singing a song while washing the dishes. I sat there and watched her as my dad cleaned the table in the other room.
"Mommy what song are you singing?" I asked.
"Desparado. Its a beutiful song. You should ask your father to teach it to you." She said.
"Ok mom."I said.
She bent down and kissed my forehead.
"Desparado. Why don't you come to your senses." She sung, her voice cheery. She wasn't a very good singer, but it was still beutiiful.
"You better let somebody love you before it's to late." My dad sang as he walked in.
My mom turned around and smiled. My dad smiled back. He walked overand kissed her, then he bent down and kissed my forehead.
"Desparado.Why dont youcome to your senses before it's to late." I sang. I didn't relize it but as the flashback was going, I was playing desparado.
Some tears fell from my eyes. I felt someones hand wrap around mine. I jumped slightly because I forgot Camren was with me.
"That was beutiful." He said.
"My mom used to sing that before my dad left." I whispred, the tears falling faster now.
"Im sorry." Camren said, pulling me into hug, while carefully putting my guitar back on its stand.
"I hope she's ok." I said, breaking down completly.
He gently ran his fingures through my hair. "She will be." He whisped.
"You dont know that." I said, my voice shakey.
"How about we give the hospital a call." He said.
I pulled away and nodded. He took his phone out. He dialed a number. "Hi, is Mrs..." He looked at me.
"Stalen" I whispred.
"Stalen ok to talk to?" He asked. There was a pause. "Her children would like to speak with her."
He hit the speaker phone button. "She told me to hold on." He said.
I sat there cluthing onto the pillow, a sick felling in my stomach.
"Hello?" A weak, tired voice asked.
"Mom? Is that you?" I asked.
"Who is this?" She asked.
"Amy." There was silence. "Your daughter."
"I don't have a daughter." She said, sounding confused.
"Yes. You have two. Amy and Lilly. Do you remember Lilly?" I asked.
"No. I have a husband. Rob." She said.
My heart sunk. Rob was my fathers name. "Mom. He isn't your husband anymore." I said in a hushed tone.
"What are you talking about? Of course he is! Who are you? Stop calling me mom." She said.
"But you are my mom." I said.
"No im not! I dont have a daughter!" She yelled. Then she started coughing.
"Hello? Amy?" The nurse from before answered.
"Whats wrong with my mom?" I asked.
"We dont know yet. But she will get better." The nurse said.
"Oh. Thank you." I said, and I hung up.
It was silent for a second. Camren took the phone and put it back in his pocket.
"She dosen't remember me." I whispred.
"It's ok." He whispred. "She will soon."
"You dont know that." I said.
"Yes I do." He said. He wipped away my tears and puled me into another hug.
The door opened a few moments laer. Both of us pulled away and Haley walked in with groceries, followed by her nighbor, Emma.
"Hey guys." Haley said, putting the bags on the table.
"Hey." I replied glumly.
"Hi Amy. I havent seen you in a while." Emma said, helping Haley put the groceries away.
"Hey Emma." I replied.
"Whos that?" She asked, pointing at Caren.
"Im camren. And Your Emma right?" He asked.
"yeah." She said.
It was silent. We both got up and helped them put the groceries away.
"Haley, do you play any instrments?" Camren asked.
"I play bass." She said.
I saw the glow in his eyes and he looked at Emma.
(I know in the info it says keyboard but pretend it says drums)
"How bout you Emma?" He asked.
"I play drums." She said.
"Why do you need to know this?" I asked.
"Because we should start a band! We play guitar, and your an amazing singer." He said.
I was silent for a second. "I guess." I said.
"Sounds like fun." Emma said, opening a bag of chips and walking to the couch. I followed and sat next to her. Cam followed me and sat next to me. Haley sat on the chair.
"Well, I'm in." Haley said.
"Me to." Emma aggred.
The looked at me. Camrens foot hit mine. "Well?" He said.
I hit his foot back. "Sure." I said, and I smiled at him.
"Yes!" He said, and he hugged me.
"Uh, your welcome?" I said, hugging him back.
He pulled away and we all stared at him.
"We need a name." I stated.
"Yeah." He agreed.
We looked at Emma. "I got nothing." She said.
"Haley?" I asked.
"Nope."
"Cam?" I asked.
"How about..." He started.
"June in December?" I asked.
They all looked up at me.
"Amazing!" Camren said, hugging me again.
"You guys agree?" He asked once he let me go.
"Im in." Emma said.
"Me to." Haley said.
"So its decided." Camren stated.
"June in December." We said, and smiled at echother.
