Chapter 3

“Hey… daddy I didn’t know you were coming home? When did you get a week off and how so soon I thought you would be to busy to be hear this week.” Yep she is going to take a dig at me in 3…2…1… “I mean its not like we have anything important going on around here just the end of school I know Silvia is graduating but its not like she had good grades she is going to a community collage for gosh sake.”

I turn because well she is graduating with me Jerold is the youngest so he isn’t and Steve Jr is this bitches twin. “How would you know what I have you are never at school? Don’t forget you and Steve graduate today to stupid he his here for you guys as well. If you used that brain of yours for more than make up, sex and clothes you might would know that. How can you talk to him that way that brand new car you have came from him all because mom used my grades to lie to Steve to get it for you.”

She goes pale and Steve looks pissed. He knows my mom screwed me all the time but he didn’t know how bad. “What are you talking about those were my grades.” She says trying to defend herself.

“Oh really when did you join my Advanced computer class. Yeah I watched you take a picture with out my name visible but what you forgot is I could tell him to check your schedule or better yet tell him to go talk to the school they will print it for him. So why do dumb things that can easily be proven. I am going to go get ready for our Graduation. I mean you have all D’s and C’s and are lucky to be graduating, same for Steve Jr.” I say looking Steve so he can see I am telling the truth. “Steve, Mrs. Mendoza is waiting for you at the office with all our transcripts I figured you would like to see the truth.” I then walked off to grab my keys from down stairs while he took hers from her. I have money to go get a truck but I have to wait 5 days to get it.

When I get upstairs I hear my mom yelling in the kitchen. Well here we go. I walk in and go to make me a cup of coffee to go drink on the porch. I walk in seeing my mother looking pissed but no Robert but then I see him fall out down from out the kitchen window and point so Steve will look. I didn’t make noise when I walked in so she doesn’t know I am there. I walk back out and then walk in with more noise. Here we go...

My mother Misty turns and points her finger at me “you why didn’t you tell me he was coming home he said he told you? Do you think you can lie about your grades as well and imply Ashley is lying that’s not right you are such and ungrateful bitch.”

She was still saying stuff but I tuned her out while I made my coffee in a travel mug, when I was done so was she, “first off I tried and you cracked me in my ribs, second should have answered your cell instead of fucking the man who is no doubt hurt outside this window because I haven’t seen him get back up. Third Ashley’s grades are crap and we all know it. If I am lying then go with Steve to the school and call them liars I would love to see you tell them how she took my courses because she can’t use a computer like I can. She can’t cook to save her life and I can because of the classes I took. Should have looked at what I was taking before you lied mother.”

She looked like her head was going to explode. I don’t know where I get my brains from but it isn’t her. “I don’t know what you are talking about the only man I sleep with is Steve. I would never hurt you why would you lie like that. You can’t cook either why do you always have to bring Ashley down.” On cue that bitch cries.

“Why do you always have to take my credit sister? I have worked hard for what I have and you pulling dad from work for our graduation is selfish.” Ashley is fake crying even Steve looks pissed.

“Oh hell now I know why you didn’t want him to come he would see you lied and take the car like he just did. Well have fun explaining how the school is lying too. I didn’t invite him per say. I did send him the message about our gowns and the graduation information so we could have what we needed but it was his choice to come not mine and yes mother I can cook you all would have died from food poisoning if she cooked but sure she can cook good food. I just fed me this morning since she is a better cook than me she better get on breakfast. Steve thank you for taking time out of you busy life to be here for our graduation.” I hug Steve and then say “I have to go but I will see you tonight.”

Steve hugs me back and says “I am proud of you and yes I will see you tonight. Oh and just so everyone knows the school emails me about all of the grad stuff so even is Silvia didn’t tell me I would still be here so leave her alone. The grades well Misty since you say it’s a lie we will be taking a trip to the school I would like to see where this lie of yours goes because I mean we cant let the school be unjust can we. Best get to breakfast Ashley I mean you have been the one making us food every morning right?” Steve lets me go a winks at me, he knows they are full off it. “Silvia I want you too meet me on Ben Maddox at the Chevy car lot, we are going to get your grad gift okay?”

My mom opens her mouth to object of course “what do you mean car lot she doesn’t deserve a car?”

“I did say later, we are going to the school first I want to see what is going on with all my kids. Silvia has to go to help set up for grad since she is in ASB so we will meet her at the office in an hour.” Steve says a little more stern.

“She isn’t your daughter so you don’t need to worry about her she doesn’t deserve anything.” My mom said and then her eyes went wide she knew she said the wrong thing.

“So when you want money to buy her something she is my daughter but when I want to get her something on my own she isn’t hell I just sent you money for her for clothes last month.” I look at Steve confused because I don’t spend his money and haven’t since I was 14 years old and my mom said I was a waste of space and didn’t deserve to use his money. That’s when she told him I wanted to move to the basement.
