Growing up Fast, Chalen D. [good summer reads txt] 📗

Hey, i'm Elsie, how's it going? before i tell my story i though i should show you around my house, that my mom decided to move to ruining my whole life. My peace offering? a dog, that looks like a small bear, a new car and a recording studio. My mom and me never are on the same page, i'm always three steps and two the right ahead of her. you have to watch my mom she is constantly in need of help. Although my mom never says it, i get the feeling that she's thinking that i ruined her live. I'm a baby by rape. my mom got married and had kaycey my three year old sister/daughter. They got divorced, the marriage was never any good to start with. that's how my mom became rich. she got a new boy friend named Jake, and became pregnant. She wanted to get married after the baby. i keep to myself, and raise kaycey. So, back to the tour, i'll show you my room, bathroom, and then some of the other parts of the house, and of course some pics of us, starting with me then kaycey, jake mom and a pic of the baby. the story starts of before logan was born. ok lets get started.



















"hey sweet heart!" my mom said, as i came through the door. i walked to the kitchen and put down my bag. my mom was dressed in her usual sweat suit, cause she complained nothing else fit her. Jake, her boyfriend and my unknown half siblings dad sat at the table with paper work and a lap lop in front of him. i got a soda from the fridge and took a drink. "you should watch your sugar intake," she said. "leave her be." Jake said. i would say Jake sucked, but that would be a lie, he had my back, at least until my mom started to throw a fit, saying they were supposed to be a team. "how was school?" she said. school! "please tell you you picked kaycey up from play time." i said. "damn!" she said. "i got it." i said. i grabbed my moms keys and headed to the play group center. "welcome Miss Mason!" the front desk girl said. she picked up a phone. "Miss Mason is here." she said. kaycey came out with a woman her eyes red and cheeks wet from tears. she smiled and ran to me. i sat on my knees and pulled her into a hug. "why the tears?" i asked, wiping them away. "mommy forgot me." she said. "i didn't." i told her. "that's why your my favorite." she said. "i am?!" i asked. she giggled, and nodded. "well then, that's the best news I've heard today, want to go get ice cream?" i said. she nodded. we got ice cream and went home. once she was asleep for the night mom called me into the kitchen. she sat with Jake at the table. i paused at the door. "come in." she said. "i am in." i said. "well, with the new baby coming, we need more room, so we're moving." she said. "what are we doing know?" i asked. "Moving. you know if you came to yoga with me you could hear better." she said. "oh enough with the yoga already. i don't have a choice in this do i?" i said. "your only sixteen, so you don't." she said. "lovely." i said. "as a peace offering, we're giving you a car, a recording studio and a dog." Jake said. "peace offering?" i scoffed. "as in you try to be nice. deal?" my mom asked. i stared at her with my thoughts once again returning to the glorious though of strangling her. "see i knew she'd go for it." my mom said, taking a drink of her tea. "it's in Hollywood. we leave tomorrow." she said.
"we're here!" my mom said. i jumped awake. "what's wrong!" i said. "nothing! come on!" my mom said. "i got her, your." i said, pointing at her stomach. i got kaycey out of the car as Jake came to meet us. "what do you think Elsie?" he asked me. "isn't it a little, oh i don't know. big?" i said. "no!" my mom said, grabbing my hand and pulling me to the house. she gave me the tour. "where's the t.v?" i asked, once in the living room. "t.v fries your brain!" she said, taking kaycey. "can you get a t.v out in my closet?" i asked, a maid. she nodded and left. "els! come check this out!" Jake said. i followed his voice, into the recording studio. "sweet right?" Jake asked. "i'll say." i said. "Elsie! we need to go shopping, i left your old clothes at the old house." my mom called. "but school starts tomorrow!" i yelled, my voice echoing off the walls. "well you better hurry! chop-chop!" she called. "chop-chop?" i asked, Jake as he hit the lights and we began making our way to my mom. "i have no idea." he said. after trying on what seemed like every bra in Victoria's secret, my mom finally let me check out and go shop for normal clothes. after everything was set we went to eat. i but kaycey in a high chair and we dug in. "so, i know you grew up fast." my mom said. "and you found this out when?" i asked. "i'm taking kaycey to model and to be in commercials, so you can go and have fun with your friends." she said. "what friends!?" i asked. people that passed looked our way. "calm," mom said. "you'll make friends." she said. when we came home a dog/baby bear ran to us. "what the heck is that?" i asked, leaning forward to see the fuzz ball. "that's your dog!" my mom said. "that's not a dog, that's like a baby bear." i said. "look can i just be shown to my room?" i asked. A maid showed me to my room, witch was of course over done. i put my things away, and went to the kitchen for a cup of juice. "hey bud," Jake said. "hey, where's mom." i said. "she went to meet with agents for kaycey." he said. "can she ever sit still?" i asked. "hey look i'm going to the office want to come?" he asked. Jake's a record producer. "me?" i asked. "yeah, come on, stepfather stepdaughter bonding." he said. i laughed, and finished my juice. Jake went to work recording some new band while i walked around. a door opened, and a boy my age stormed out, hitting my shoulder. "sorry." he said, leaving. "fine leave we don't need you!" another guy yelled coming to the door. "sorry, about Owen. he didn't hurt you did he?" the guy said. "i'm good." i said, walking past him back to Jake. "hey your Jake's kid right?" he asked. "something like that." i said, still walking. "stay cool, Elsie." he said. i turned to ask him how he knew my name but the door was closed and he was gone. it was Monday morning and i was freaking out. i looked in the mirror. "you look fine, your fine you can do this, you've got this." i said. i turned and grabbed my bag. "i hope." i said. "Elsie your late!" my mom called. "I'm not late!" i yelled back for the fifth time. i skipped breakfast and went outside. a guy opened my new car. "uh thanks." i said. i got in and he closed the door. i ran my hand over the steering wheel and smiled. i parked my car and got out. "omg hi." a blond girl said, coming to me with her three friends. "well, you've got one hell of a vice." i said. "we will be best friends." she said. a girl with pink hair stood by my side. "like ohmigod, get the hell out of here." she said. she put an elbow on my shoulder. "she's with me." she said. "oh," the girl said. "so, what's your classes?" the pink haired girl asked. i gave her my classes, as the other girls left. "cool you have free hour with me, come on." she said. we walked to a class room. "i'm Jamie, by the way." she said. "Elsie." i said. "YO, listen up!" she called. five kids looked up. "this is Elsie, you mess with her i'll kick your ass." she said. i looked at a kid in the back, hood up, ear phones in. he looked up and then back down. "you know Owen?" Jamie asked. "yeah." i said. "huh. well this is Bella, may, coltan and Blake." she said. we sat down. everyone crowed around us. i sat on a desk with Jamie and they all sat in chairs. Owen stayed at the back. i got up and walked to him, and took out an ear phone everyone gasped as if this was never done before. "cool band." i said. "used to be." he said. "what happened?" i asked sitting in a chair. he turned to me. "the singer thought he could boss me around so i just quit." he said. "damn." i said. "no worries, it's not my scene." he said. "what is?" i asked. he looked at me. "well?" i asked. "i want to produce music." he said. "need some pointers?" i asked. he nodded slowly. "next time your at the office ask for Jake, tell them that Elsie sent you." i said. "i'll look into it thanks." he said. "yeah." i said. we turned to everyone looking at us. they looked away and started a conversation. "yeah cool set up." someone said. i stopped in front of my studio. "yeah, it's my daughter's." Jake said. "you have a daughter?" the voice asked. "two, and one on the way." Jake said. i went in. "Elsie!" Jake said. "Owen?" i asked. "what are you doing here?" i asked. "lessons." Owen said. I left the room and went to the back yard. "Elsie, whoa sweet pool, Elsie what's wrong?" Owen said. "look, can you not say anything about Jake?" i asked. "why? are you ashamed of him?" Owen asked. "no way, it's just people treat me different when i say he's my dad." i said. "people are going to love you, because of you." he said. "exactly. but how can they get to know the real me when they want to get with Jake?" i asked. "i got to know you, before Jake." he said. "you don't know me." i said. "sure i do." he said. he looked me in the eyes. "you grew up way to fast, everything fell on your fragile shoulders making them stronger. you love to laugh when you get the chance, love to have fun and be yourself. you, don't show the world your full potential cause you don't want to get hurt. your smart funny, cool, and should never change." he said. "people don't see those things Owen, they just look at it as, a free ticket to stardom." i said. he looked at me sadly. "it's always the same." i said. i walked past him into the house and to my room. i went down the hall and saw Owen in my studio. "hey." i said.
