Max was in Alana’s bedroom. He was upset and Alana could tell. “Max, please tell me what’s wrong. You just came over looking so upset and I let you in. Please…” Alana was worried about Max. She walks over to him. He was sitting on her bed. She sat down by him and touched his shoulder. “You can tell me anything. I am here for you.”
“My parents… My grandpa. They keep arguing and now my grandpa is trying to kick my mother out of the house! He hates her so much! I don’t know why! I love my mom! She’s really nice!” Max blurts out as if he was going to cry but he held it in. Alana couldn’t believe that Max’s grandfather as still angry.
“I thought he really was trying and going to finally give it up?” Alana asks.
“He lied! I heard him tell dad that he wanted to live with him! And wanted my brother and sister to live there with me too and just kick out my mom! He hates her so much! I like my mom too! She really is a nice person! You got to meet her once! Wasn’t she?!”
“Yes, your mother seems like a kind lady. I am thinking your grandfather isn’t really someone kind as you thought he was Max. He seems cruel. Wanting to separate the family. I don’t even know about him anymore. Maybe your mother and father shouldn’t speak to him anymore. Also, maybe you shouldn’t either. Your parents need to fight in court for custody of you. I am sure they would win.” Alana was trying to find the words to help Max feel better.
“That’s what my parents told me when grandpa went to work. They said that they were going to fight in court for custody of me and just get grandpa out of there. This is really hard for me.” Max leaned his head on Alana’s shoulder. She blushes. “I really don’t know what to do right now… I feel bad for my parents… They have to go through so much. So much trouble because of grandpa and me.” Max said.
“It’s not your fault.” Alana tells him.
Lacy was in her bedroom with Robert and Ronnie. They had some music playing low. Ronnie was sitting on Lacy’s bed. Robert was sitting on the floor. Lacy was also sitting on her bed. “My dad recently bought me a Gameboy.” Lacy said and hands it to Robert. He started to play with it. “Dad has been trying to show mom and us that he really cares for us. He never wanted to break apart from mom in the first place. It’s just… That Pat woman and her daughter. Dad says he feels like he isn’t even close with his daughter Peg. She just seems to hate him for some reason.” Lacy tells Ronnie and Robert.
“Your father really shouldn’t of been sleeping around. He probably needs to find away to get custody of stupid Peg to stop the child support crap.” Robert said as he played the Gameboy.
“Dad said he is even sure if he wants to take custody of her. He don’t hate Peg, but she keeps being mean to him.”
“She does?” Ronnie asks. “Well… Go figure. She’s annoying.”
“She keeps yelling at my dad trying to order him around. Trying to make him get her a cell phone and new clothes when her bedroom is full of clothes. Apparently, she wants cute clothes.” Lacy explains to the two.
“Cute? Her clothes were always trashy.” Ronnie laughed.
“Peg was angry that she saw Alana and Madison wearing something cute and claimed they weren’t allowed to wear it only she was. Claimed that it wasn’t fair that they had it. Called them brats and then called up my dad to complain to him about it.” Lacy said. “I heard her loud mouth on the phone when my dad was on the phone with her.”
“You know at school, Peg came into there and I know she doesn’t belong there. She came in there and tried to pick me up. Claimed I was the man of her dreams that she dreamed I was doing her in a bathroom.”
“She is disgusting! You know what she told me? She told me that I was her future husband that she was told by the woman in her dreams. That I was her future husband that I needed to date her and create a daughter with her. When I called her a hoe and told her to go away, she literally yelled at me and said she wasn’t an unclean hoe. Is there really a clean version?” Robert asked and laughed a little.
“Peg seems out of this world. I don’t really know how to describe her weird personally. She was here a few days ago and all she could do was complain. Said that no one likes her and was being mean to her when no one did anything.” Lacy felt stressed out by Peg.
“Don’t worry about her. You should be happy. Your parents are back together and you live in a nice home.” Ronnie said looking at Lacy. She smiles a little at him.
“I guess you’re right.” Lacy held Ronnie’s hand and he blushes at her. “Don’t be getting any nasty ideas.”
“I am not!” Ronnie felt embarrassed. Robert just glanced at Lacy.
The week went by quickly for the last week of school. Madison was able to turn in her paper and got a good score on it. She was able to pass the grade that she was in and was going into the next grade with Bryan. She felt happy about that. Everyone seemed to have made it. The school year was at an end and now Summer break was here and Madison and Bryan had gone to summer came. Michael had gone along with them. Lacy was surprised that Peg even wanted to go to summer camp, apparently she wanted to volunteer with help watching the kids. Lacy felt relief that she wouldn’t be hearing or seeing Peg for a while. Max’s parents were in the process of trying to take custody of Max while his grandpa had moved out into an apartment. He was furious with Max’s parents and even with Max. Craig kept spending time with him family. Some had it rough some were doing alright. Robert and Robert seemed to hang with Lacy more.
Craig was in his bedroom. He thought he heard his parents talking out in the hall. He decided to listen by the door. Sabrina was in bed. It was night and late. Craig was supposed to be in bed but he wasn’t.
“Are you positive?” Huntley asks his wife. She nods.
“Yes, the doctors seemed to confirm it and… I…” Benita says to her husband.
“Let’s talk about this in the bedroom.” Huntley tells her. They both went into the bedroom together. Craig came out of his bedroom.
“I wonder what mom and dad are talking about?” Craig thought to himself. Craig went by the door and decided to eavesdrop. He knew it was wrong, but he wanted to make sure his parents were okay.
“You really for sure?” Huntley asks Benita.
“Yes. I am not lying. The doctors told me that I am.”
“Oh man. What do we tell the kids?” Huntley asks.
“They will be fine with it. I am sure. I just hope… we can be together and be able to raise Craig and Sabrina together.”
“And raise our newest addition to the family.” Huntley hugs Benita. She blushes. Craig was surprised.
“Mom is pregnant?” Craig wondered. He was surprised. “That was quick.”
Sabrina woke up and went into the hall. She stared at Craig and rubs her eyes. “What are you doing?” She asked. Craig went over to her.
“Don’t tell mom and dad. When they tell us pretend you’re surprised.” Craig tells his little sister.
“What?” Sabrina was confused.
“Mom is pregnant.” Craig said. Sabrina’s eyes widen and was surprised.
“She is?” She asked. He nods. “Oh man. It’s baby season.” Sabrina laughed. “My friend Paige is pregnant too by her dumb boyfriend.”
“Paige is pregnant?” Craig asked.
“Yeah, and her boyfriend is pretending her doesn’t know her now. What an butthole. Right?” Sabrina asked Craig.
“Yeah. Who is the father?” Craig asked.
“Her boyfriend, Lionel. Tj’s older brother. Isn’t that something? Paige is still young though even though Lionel is older.”
“That’s insane. Did Jalicia find anyone yet?” Craig asked and followed Sabrina back into her bedroom.
“No you dimwit. She really is upset still with you.” Sabrina replied.
“I didn’t mean for her to get her feelings hurt.” Craig looks down feeling bad.
“You don’t get it.” Sabrina sat down on her bed. “Jalicia has feelings for you. Ever since what you did to her she said she fell in love and is hurt you don’t love her. Hurt you are with Katie.”
“I…I really like Katie.” Craig said. It was true. He realized his feelings for her.
“I know that, but you really hurt Jalicia’s feelings.”
“Why don’t you act like a normal girl your age?” Craig asked. Sabrina laughed.
“I hang with the older crowd. Duh.”
“What about Tj?” Craig asks. “You like him right? Is he dating a girl?”
“No. He isn’t. He just goes out on dates and crap. It really makes me mad because I want to be with him!” Sabrina glared. “He doesn’t want to date me because I am still a kid! I am mature!”
“Actually I am happy he doesn’t want you right now.” Craig thought to himself. Sabrina was still young. She had a crush on Tj. She hung with him a lot. She even confessed her feelings for him. The response to that was he will wait for her but will not date her until she is old enough. He wants to date other girls in the mean time. Their relationship wasn’t serious. In fact, it was platonic. Tj even reassured Craig he wouldn’t try anything with Sabrina. She wasn’t even sexy to him.
In the next morning, Madison and Bryan woke up early. Peg had woke them up. “Alright! Wake up brats!” She yelled. Every kid at camp got up.
“I thought camp was supposed to be fun, but she’s a bitch.” Bryan said and Michael nods in agreement.
“What?” Peg walks over to the both of them. “Do you want me to tell the adults that you cussed?” Peg asked. Bryan shook his head. “Because that’s what a fucking thought! You better get breakfast because we are going out hiking today!” Peg left the cabin.
“She cusses too I don’t get it.” Michael said to Bryan.
“I hate her.” Bryan mumbles. Madison was in another cabin with girls that Peg already woke up. Madison had gotten dressed into a different outfit. She was wearing pink shorts with a yellow and pink shirt. Her socks were white and short and wore black and white sneakers. Everyone got out of their cabins and went to get some food for breakfast. After breakfast, Peg had some kids lined in a line together. Madison, Bryan, and Michael were together.
“Alright you little bastards. We have to win. We are going on a hiking little trip. But the person that reaches the point where we are going will win a prize. We are not the losing team.”
“What is this point at?” Bryan asked.
“How dare you talk to me like that!” Peg glares and snaps at him. “I will not stand for back talk!”
“I just asked a question!” Bryan was confused about Peg.
“That will be enough out of you.” She says and then looked at Madison. She glares at her. “HOW DARE SHE! She can’t wear that! That little bitch! That cunt! I hate her!” Peg glares at Madison as she was thinking. She then started to walk and the others started to follow her.
