Chapter 3 The Betrayal

1044 Words
     It was a rough two moths after my birthday. The first month my mother wouldn't look at me let alone talk to me. No matter how hard I tried, I told her I wasn't stupid. That I would finish school before I got married. Steven also talked to her several times. The second moth things started getting better. She started talking to me again. Even if it was only when she had to I took it as a positive. Finally a week before Thanksgiving she honestly started talking to me. I was very happy that she was talking to me again. Otherwise the holiday would have totally sucked.      I remember the day clearly, For me it was a great day. At school I had a meeting with my adviser. I had enough credits to graduate now. I even had seven extra credits that would apply to my college classes. I figured if anything this news would make my mother happy and she would talk to me again. So after work I went home to tell her all about it. To my surprise when I got there Steven was there. I was thrilled I could tell them both at the same time.      Now when I walked through the door I had to stop in my tracks. Both my mother and Steven were in the hall way and they were both smiling, and they were shaking hands. I was wondering what that was about when mother looked up and saw me. She came over and gave me a big hug, I was so shocked. I was speechless when she told me she was sorry for the last few months. I was like WOW why would my mother be like this to me? Let me tell you this is just so far out of character for her. Whats up, what were they talking about that put her in the really good mood. But I told her it was okay, and if she wanted to talk about it I was willing to. She waved my offer away and pulled us into the kitchen to plan for thanksgiving. Turns out I was going to meet more of Steven's family.      The day of Thanksgiving was beautiful. The sun was out and all I wanted to do was be in the water. Instead I was in the Kitchen helping mother cook. Don't get me wrong I love to cook, baking is my specialty. SO we got up at six a.m. and started cooking by seven. At noon Steven and his family showed up. I already knew his mother, father and two sisters. But today I got to meet hid grandparents as well. I liked his sisters a lot. His mother is an okay person. His grandparents are cool, they tell the funniest stories. But something about his father makes me hate him instantly.       Something I did notice, while all the women ( even grandma) were in the kitchen cooking. Steven and his father were always wispering to each other.I thought it was a bit odd since they were the only ones in the room. Grandpa was sitting at the kitchen table watching his wife.I thought it was sweet. Thats true love right there.      It was just before dinner that I ran up to my room to change. When I came out I heard voices in my mothers study. When I heard my name I stepped closer to find out what was going on. It was my mother, Steven, and his father. And this is what I heard.      "Okay Janet, I have a few questions. If I get the right answers we have a deal!"" Sure, what are your questions?"" You say your daughter is different, How? I want to know if she is worth the money you want."" As Steven had witnessed she has some strange gifts in the water."" So she is a good swimmer, big deal."" NO its more than that."" Okay Steven has told me a few interesting things, I would like to see them."" And all of them are true."" So what are the other thing?"" Her father was different as well. She got some of his gifts. I don't know everything but I do know that she is telepathic. She used to talk to her father all the time. I don't even think she realized what she was doing. She can also move things with her mind, but she doesn't do that often."" Okay I want to see some actual proof at some point, but I will give you the 250,000 dollars now and 250,000 when they get married. Steven I want her pregnant as soon as possible. I want a child."" Yes sir."" Do you agree to my terms Janet?"" You have a deal, Now lets go eat."      Before they came out I ran back to my room. I sat down on the bed. I was totally in shock. My mother just sold me. And to tell them our secrets like that. How could my mother do that to me? I mean I was just sold because I was different! Oh my god what do I do now? I can't believe they want me pregnant. I mean what would be so important about a child? Hell I am only seventeen I don't want any of this. I go to the bathroom to wash my face and take some tylenol because I have a head ache now. But my mother knocks on the door and walks in.      "What are you doing?" I just changed my clothes. I spilled oil on my dress, Then I came in here to get some tylenol because I have a bit of a head ache."" Yes its soaking now, see."" Good, now the tylenol should be over here, Yes here it is. Good now lets hurry up we can't leave our guests waiting by themselves."" I know I am ready."      As we walked down to the kitchen I decided I had to get the hell out of here. And as far away from these people as possible. But as we all sat down to eat I smiled, laughed, and talked to everyone like I didn't know what was going on. But the whole time I was coming up with a plan.
