I have always had to protect you… now you’re protecting me… but how can this be? How can you be here?575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefinmfLUza
I gasped and sat up in bed. I scoffed at the dome that protruded from my abdomen. I had that stupid dream about my dumbass brother again. What good he was when all this happened. Now I’m pregnant with some man I don’t even know’s child, trying to make ends meet. After a fight my brother and I had, he left and I went out looking for him, not really thinking that he would leave me for good. I looked for him for months, calling out his name and going out in the cold, everything. See, my brother used to be really weak, not very strong and always needed to be protected. Then one day it all changed and… well, let’s just say it wasn’t for the best. I said some things I really didn’t mean and it must have hurt him worse than I thought and I couldn’t find him. So I went out every day after school to try and find him until I went to the bad side of town and was raped. I yelled and screamed and cried but no one came to save me and neither did he.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdPm70oy66
When I found out that I was pregnant, I was furious, mad at the man who did this to me and angry at my brother for not coming when I needed him, so I stopped looking. I’m supposed to be in the middle of my senior year of high school but because I’m pregnant, I won’t go. With twins, no doubt, so I’m stuck here in the bed half the time, dealing with a stomach that I really didn’t want in the first place. I can’t really blame the children inside of me but I hate that it was all because I went to look for my stupid brother. What makes the whole thing worse is that when I was screaming for him, the man who raped me thought I was yelling something else and was so harsh to me.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeg8BJIlYp
See, our mom was not named traditionally. Actually, no one in my family was. It was all strange names that really shouldn’t be named to children or names that were used when King Arthur was around or something. My mom’s name is Boudicea, like the warrior queen, but my father’s name was Jack. Totally different but what can you do? My mother was killed when she gave birth to me and my father is… somewhere. I’m not quite sure where he is. Either way, they named me Remember, Remy for short. My brother is actually my adoptive brother and they named him Jealous, Jay for short. So, the problem when I was getting raped was that I was screaming his name and the man thought that I was being a smart ass.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ325b55aqB
I hate my brother now, for not being there when I needed him.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw1EtKcd0f
Instead of being in school, I work as a waitress at a breakfast joint. I work in the late afternoon to the early morning so that I can get my GED at home and stuff. I make a pretty good amount of money but I guess it helps looking like you’re struggling every time you bring out a tray of food with a twin inhabited stomach. I hope that after I get my GED I can go to college and get a better job. Luckily, my Uncle Thadeus was nice enough to let me stay at the mansion in one of the rooms. I hated my cousin, Avery, because he was such a prick. He always made fun of me being pregnant even though I told him that it wasn’t my fault that I didn’t want to be this way. I always blamed Jay for everything. Actually, I kind of blamed my parents for naming him Jealous but I blamed him for not coming. If he had been there, this wouldn’t have happened.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjPIyvWieP
“Order up, Remy.” The cook yelled behind the food slider.
I looked behind me and grabbed the tray full of plates and headed toward a table that held a couple and two small children.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mpgskl96k
“Here we are…”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FZZjlPyI9
“Uh, miss, I actually ordered extra hash browns instead of the potatoes.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtqTNlpaTK
“Right away, sir, I’ll get you some extra hash browns.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P5q6XvMjz
“No. I ordered the meal with extra hash browns, not an extra side of hash browns. I don’t want these potatoes.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZhHJSFuoL
“Dear… A side of hash browns will be fine, honey.” His wife said, giving her husband a dangerous glare.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR307VMWyJ
I nodded and walked back when I heard him talking to his wife.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pcEYLUjde
“Stupid girl should have kept her legs closed then she would be in a better place than here. Maybe if she didn’t have baby fluid in her ears she’d have heard me.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5btF3qoTC
“Honey, you’re being unreasonable. Can’t you see she’s having a time as it is? And be quiet or she’ll hear you.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcluUwD6vU
“I don’t care. When I order my food, I want it done right!”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWjZGArSGg
I gripped my hands and grabbed the extra hash browns that I asked for, plus the coffee pot. I decided against the lawsuit of scalding the man at the last moment and grabbed the water pitcher instead. I walked over to the table and smiled at the man.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WkU7yWQ4t
“Your hash browns.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0UgcGPV2c
“Thank you! Finally, you get something right.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1k6SuQ5vt
“More water?”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJQwyf1QtV
“Water? I didn’t ask for any water.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHLTDImezk
“Really?” I poured the entire contents of the pitcher over his head and in his lap. “Funny, I could have sworn you did. Or did the baby fluid in my ears make me mishear you?”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ669AavfYnK
He stared at me as his wife stared at me in horror and I took off my apron, setting it on the table. The owner of the joint walked out and saw my apron on the counter.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6rrs7Mf74
“Where are you going?” she asked.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWEN19k0H6
“I just poured a pitcher of water over a patron.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a8XHjaQSz
“Why?”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1TDN8nSXP
“He pretty much called me a whore all because the extra hash browns weren’t on his plate instead of the potatoes. I can take a lot of things, Ms. Millie, but being called a whore is not one of them. I’m sorry. Thanks for everything.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw3CsAuvhL
I left and headed to my car, unlocking it when I heard the door open.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnLkkyaGF3
“Remy.” I looked up. “Come on back inside, honey, you can’t leave like that.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJS60B53OH
“What do you mean? I just soaked a customer in water.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD6fj6ojuJ
“You’ve never lied to me before, sweetheart, and if that man was calling you a whore then he deserved that water being spilled over him. I know these people around here aren’t going to hire a pregnant gal looking like she’s about to deliver any minute so come on back inside.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDwYmUGs4S
“Ms. Millie…”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zC4x5rFs1
“Come on, now. Earl’s taking care of the customer.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbkId31jHm
I wanted to cry at her kindness. Ms. Millie was the only one who would hire me and the only one besides my uncle who knew the truth behind my pregnancy. She knew about my arrest record and such because of my brother but she took me as an honest person and knew that I would be a good employee. I took back the apron and she pat me on the back.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj4LE7Pwww
“Try to keep your temper at bay, though, sweetie, I can’t be reputed as an establishment that allows the staff to treat the customers anyway they please.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCjuMbdWb9
“I know… I’m sorry.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZRagYg1hq
“Don’t be. You’ve worked hard and those babies have a good mother, keeping them even though they were created in such tragedy. Now get back to work…”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jSuy14wid
I nodded and got back to work.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f3PElqrht
I walked into the mansion and put my purse down at the door. I sighed and waddled into the kitchen where the maid was cooking dinner.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc4fsJYJyh
“What’s for dinner?”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX08FjjzjE
“Chicken soup. How your work today?”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT1PCxg4Vy
“I poured an entire pitcher of water on a guy today because he practically called me a whore.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r4PYdgSwI
“You no get fired?”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SY73Iwv5n
“I put my apron up to quit before that happened but Ms. Millie said he deserved it and said to come back inside. So I’ve still got a job at least.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbEtjzHvsN
“Good thing because we will be needing your money to pay for those children that you refused to give up.” Avery said, walking through the kitchen to get to the refrigerator.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe3ABiPR4W
I stared at the red headed kid and wanted nothing more than to punch him in the face. He was only a year younger than me and I feared what he was saying about me at school. He just looked at me with that smug ass smile as he drank some milk from the carton.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53IH3hf8Jk
“I don’t see you working at all.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsqL9gVGJV
“I didn’t get knocked up and had to quit school. As soon as I’m out of high school, my dad said I will have to get a job. As of now, I’m content and fancy free…”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RUDxBqC32
I flicked him off and he did the same back and I went up to my room on the second floor. I got in my bed and put my music on, opening my book to read. The babies moved in my stomach and I sighed.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFf0qM44xm
“Alright, alright… I’ll read to you… Sheesh…”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNbLGjZYyv
I began reading to my stomach to calm the children inside of me. 575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9UKWQqukK
