Chapter 10, Pool Party

In two weeks, I'm a big sister..

Ending of September was always made someone to throw a pool party, it was an unspoken rule and this time the person who threw the party was a girl named Malina Jonas.

After I grabbed my back up outfit and brushed my hair into a claw clip ponytail, I grabbed my phone and walked downstairs.

Scarlett's Outfit and Bathing suit





I walked over to my mom and hugged her, well I tried to since her baby bump wouldn't let me hug her fully.

She smiled and kissed my forehead, today was a sunny Saturday which was always my favorite.

"Dad! I'm leaving now!"

I shouted, my dad just shouted bye and that he loves me.

I walked to my car and got in, starting it and driving to Xiomara's apartment building since we wanted to arrive together.

Xiomara came out looking amazing, she always has the best taste in outfits which is why I would always come to her for any tips or advice.

When she got into the car, we hugged each other.

"You look so amazing right now."

I complimented her as I started the car, Xiomara chuckled and returned the compliment to me although I didn't feel like I was good for a compliment.

As we drove to the pool party, a song came on which was a sad one but it was also very catchy.

"I can't save us, my Atlantis, we fall."

I sang along to the song 'Atlantis' by Seafret, Xiomara sang along and together this sad song was turned into one of our happy songs.

When we finally arrived to the pool party, I parked my car and got out happily.

When we walked to the backyard, there was loud music playing and loud chatter along with laughter.

I smiled and grabbed Xiomara's hand, we walked to the chairs and took off our clothes, leaving us in our bathing suits.

"So how are you feeling, your baby brother is coming soon."

Xiomara asked as we dipped our feet in the fairly cold water, I looked at her and shrugged my shoulders.

I had a bunch of things on my mind and one of those things were my brother, it's just I didn't want to think about anything other than my friends.

I didn't want to think that after this year my friends would leave me and then I would have nobody left, Jaden would be miles or states away at a college for a baseball scholarship that he just informed me about last night.

Javon is pursuing his acting career and boxing career which mean he's just hopping around state to state, city to city, town to town because that's his job.

Xiomara is going away to college, she just has to wait for the acceptance letter which I know she's going to get and well Cora and Jayla are leaving, I'll be left with nobody.

Delilah and I grown close but she's leaving as well, she wants to become a model and that meant she was going to college and then pursuing her dream.

And me? I don't know what I wanna do with my life, everything's becoming a struggle.

I don't wanna feel like this the whole year, I can't feel like this the whole year.

"I'm feeling alright, excited to see how it feels when I'm a big sister."

I finally spoke out to Xiomara with a soft smile dancing on my lips, she just bumped my shoulders and that's when the realization hit me.

In two weeks, I'm a big sister..

I whispered to myself before going into the water, I shivered a bit as the cold water touched my bare skin.

Soon, Delilah, Javon and Jaden came so it was a fun day, for them at least..

"Hey, you've been silent this entire time. You okay?"

Jaden asked as he pulled me aside, I smiled at him and nodded.

He returned the smile and kissed me softly, I wrapped my arms around his neck and placed my head on his chest.

I wanted to do everything I could with everyone before time ran out, I wanted to figure out what I wanted to do first.

I didn't want to go to college but I don't want to be the idiot who also didn't go but her friends did, I wanted to do something with my life.

I looked up at my boyfriend and I smiled at him, I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him no matter what.

I'd be his bride and he'd be my groom and together we would make an amazing couple, but how could I do that when my boyfriend's leaving?

How do you make your dreams and your boyfriend's dreams come true without making something go wrong?

I couldn't stay silent about it, of course not but I couldn't blurt it out either.

"I love you."

I mumbled as I placed a kiss on his lips, he smiled at me and pecked my lips.

"I love you more."
