CJ
How could he? How could my father do that? Annie's words echoed in my mind and I tried to shake them out. "Dad proposed to Rosie." And to put the icing on the deadly cake he wanted Annie and I to be in the wedding!
And he was actually inviting our mom to the wedding. How much colder could one man get? I sighed in great relief when we re-entered the camp grounds. I glanced at Zac out of the corner of my eye and smiled.
He had been so helpful even though he didn't know what in the world was going on. And I really wish I didn't have to tell him. I hated telling people my parents were divorced. I always felt like it was my fault my dad left my mom.
And that feeling never subsided as the years passed. If anything it grew. But I think it had help. Considering whenever someone found out my parents were divorced they made sure to tease me constantly about it.
Let me just say kids at my old schools were well...not so nice. It wasn't normal for a mom and a dad to not live together anymore. It just wasn't seen when I was growing up. Of course now its an ever growing thing.
But back then it was new to everyone and that gave most a window to make fun of some poor un-expecting kid. And I knew Zac would never do any of those things. He was too sweet to do anything like that.
But whenever I told someone I always thought that their first thought was going to be that I was the one that caused my parents to get a divorce. And it scared me cause deep down I really did care what people thought of me.
Even though I never really give off that attitude. "There you two are. You are so lucky that Noah and I covered for you otherwise you would be getting chewed out by Doug. Where were-" Shaylyn stopped when she noticed the sullen look on my face.
"Okay why do you look like youre about ready to have a mental breakdown? What happened?" Shaylyn asked immediately. Her attention flew to Zac and I felt him shrug his shoulders next to me.
I took a deep breath before answering. "Can we go back to the room? Then I'll explain." I said quietly. My voice cracked and I once again cleared my throat. "Uh yeah sure." Shaylyn agreed confusion laced in her voice.
I watched as she began walking to the room quickly I followed but looked back when I didn't see Zac next to me. "Come on Zac. You deserve an explanation more than anyone." I stated.
He looked hesitant but began walking towards me. "Are you sure?" he asked. I smiled and nodded my head, "Yeah. I'm sure." Zac smiled kindly before we both began heading to the room.
I sighed when I saw the door was open, we never did close the dang thing. I guess I was getting nervous which was kinda new to me. "Oh hey sloppy Joe mess is gone." I said shocked as I looked at my bed.
"Yeah I cleaned it up." A voice from the top of the bunk that was directly across from my bed. See there was one twin sized bed by a window up against the wall. Aka my bed.
Then directly across was a bunk bed. Then in between was a night stand and then up against the wall by the door was a desk and a small area to put our suitcases and junk.
"Thanks Noah." I thanked him as I walked over to my now clean bed. Zac followed suit and sat on the ground by me. "Okay spill." Shaylyn said as she sat in the chair backwards.
Noah's head popped up and he looked at the two of us, "Hey man." He greeted Zac. Zac waved back. It must be a guy thing to not say hello back. "Uhmm what is Chrissy spilling?" questioned Noah.
"It's about my Dad...." I trailed off and Noah jumped off the bed and landed right next to me. "What did he do now?" asked Shaylyn curious. "First of all," I paused and looked at Zac, "You need an explanation."
He smile softly, "That would be nice." I chuckled before sighing. "Alright...When I was six my so called father left my mom for another woman...He declared he didn't love me or my mom anymore...I was a mistake and she was worthless."
I sighed and fiddled with my hands. "My mom was eight months pregnant with my sister, Annie, when he left. So for seven years we had struggled to make ends meat. Then when I was thirteen my father decides he wants to be part of mine and Annie's lives again."
"Well of course my mom denied him any rights and he took her to court. So after going to court they had to share us. We would live with our mom but go and visit our dad every other weekend and two weeks in the summer." I explained.
I gave him the simple and short explanation not wanting to go through everything my evil father has ever done. "Anyway he has been dating this girl named Rosie for about...two years now. She's an evil woman and her sons are even worse."
Zac nodded in understanding. "I don't know why but my dad is just utterly in love with her. She's such a nasty woman though I don't see how anyone could love her. Well my dad apparently proposed to her the other night."
Shaylyn gasped and Noah's eyes widened. Zac just sat there taking it all in and nodding his head signalling for me to continue. "And that's not even the best of it. The wedding is soon and they want Annie and I to be in the wedding."
"Also he wants my mom to be there!" I finished anger began surfacing in my voice and I clenched my fists together tightly. "He wants to what?! Who the hell does he think he is?" Noah yelled.
I suppose it's safe to mention that Noah and Shaylyn hate my father...hmm I wander why. "I don't know what has gotten into him." I said truthfully. "Oh I bet I know. And her name just happens to be Rosie" Shaylyn stated.
"How much of an evil bitch can she be?" asked Noah. "You don't even know the half of it." I whispered somberly. Shaylyn and Noah sent sympathetic looks as Zac secretly grabbed my hand and squeezed it for reassurance.
I smiled thankfully towards him. "Okay! I'm not here to ruin peoples times I'm here to have fun and deal with them later." I stated boldly while standing up. "Yeah! And tomorrow is your birthday!" exclaimed Shaylyn.
I looked confused, "Huh?" Did I somehow get my days mixed up? Last time I checked I still had two days. "Yeah babe tomorrow will be our seventh day at camp aka your birthday! Wow did you seriously forget?" questioned Noah.
"Uh...Apparently...." I admitted sheepishly. "You didn't bring a calendar did you?" Shaylyn laughed. I shook my head no. I knew there was something I forgot. I heard Zac chuckling and I stuck my tongue out at him.
"How do you forget your own birthday?" he asked laughing. "With me anything is possible." I explained truthfully. "True dat." said Shaylyn. There was an awkward silence before we all started laughing at my dumbness.
I'm not going cause I've been waiting for a miracle. [[Rest in Results]]
Zac
"I'm sorry if I ruined your free day." Cj apologized later that night as we sat around the deserted picnic area. No one was outside they were either in the cafe, the activity building playing games or in the Drama building watching a movie.
But Cj decided to go for a walk and I joined her naturally. I was determined to spend as much time with her as I could. I had never met a girl like Cj she was outgoing, spoke her mind and didn't care what you thought about her. And I loved that.
"You didn't ruin my day. If anything you made it better. I'm glad you trust me enough to tell me more personal things about yourself." I explained. Now if only I could do the same for you.
Cj smiled thankfully. "Well thats what friends do right? They tell each other everything." she stated. I frowned but quickly covered it up with a smile, "Agreed." Cj sighed and looked up at the stars.
"Can I tell you something and you promise not to laugh and think its corny?" she asked randomly after a few minutes of silence. "Of course." I replied. Cj sighed once again and looked over at me.
"I'm really glad you came here Zac. And that you actually took the time to want to get to know me. No other guy, besides Noah of course, has ever done that. It's nice to know that you actually listen to me and care what I have to say." Cj explained.
I smiled and opened my mouth to say something but she stopped me. "Wow that was soooo corny and not how I wanted it to sound." Cj laughed. "It sounded fine." I finally said, "And I'm glad I came here too."
"I never thought that I would meet such an amazing girl at camp." I said without thinking. Cj's eyes widened as did mine. "I uh didn-" I was cut off with Cj putting her finger on my lips. "I understand what you meant. At least I hope I do." Cj laughed.
Cj looked at me and smiled. I returned the gesture as we began inching closer and closer. But just before our lips met the bell signalling it was time to head to your cabins rang out loudly. And students began running around frantically to get to their cabins in time.
I heard Cj groan before she was forced to get up. "I'm sorry. I'll see you tomorrow Zac. Sweet dreams." She said as she joined the rest of the frantic students racing off to their cabins. I sighed and slowly began trudging to my own.
Twice in one day we were interrupted. What are the odds? Seriously.
