My Life

Their jaws are dropped for one second before they start laughing again. I look at them closely and see how red their eyes are. I walk up to them and smell them. They're high off their asses. Great! This is just perfect! Then I look at Amy, she bends over and...



She pukes all over the floor. I quickly move her to the nearest washroom and begin cleaning up her puke.

"Alice, go lye down on the couch sweetie." I say. She nods and stumbles over to the couch. I finish cleaning up Amy's puke and go check on her. "Ames, you okay?" I ask. She pukes in response.

I hear footsteps coming down the stairs, I look up to see Andy. "What's going on?" He asks.

"Amy and Alice came home high, and now Amy's sick." I say.

"Ha she gets that from me. I'm allergic to marijuana, sucks to be her." He says and kisses me. "They'll be fine, lets go back to sleep. And we can give them shit tomorrow." I nod and he leads me upstairs.

We go back to sleep, well at least Andy does. I stare at the ceiling unsure of how to be honest. There's the first part of being truthful that I have to tell Amy about my drug history and try not to be hypocrite. And then there's after when I have to tell Andy that the baby's not his. I don't know how I'm going to be able to tell them, I just know that the information I'm going to tell Amy is going to be easier to say. It's about 8am now, Andy and I walk downstairs. We go into the kitchen and each grab a pot and metal spoon. We bang the spoons against the pots waking the girls up.

"Good morning!" I yell.

"How was the dope last night?" Andy asks.

"Mom, dad please don't be over upset about it." Amy pleas. We both put down the dishes and sit across from the girls.

"Why?" I ask.

"We went to a party and everyone was doing it, we just wanted to have a good time." Amy says.

"I'm not mad about you guys doing it if that's what you're thinking. I'm mad that you came home like that. Total rookie mistake, don't slip up again." I say.

"Thank you mommy." Amy says.

"Thanks aunt Scar." Alice says.

"That's it? You're not going to punish them?" Andy asks.

"You're right, girls I need you to clean up the attic. It's really gross up there, so good luck." I say.

"Scar, really?" He asks.

"Yeah, I would be a hypocrite if I told them they couldn't smoke weed." I say.

"Wait mom, did you use to be a stoner?" Amy asks. I nod. She runs up and hugs me. "You're a lot more cool than I thought. Alice and I will go take care of that attic for you." The girls walk upstairs.

I go into the kitchen and put some pop-tarts in the toaster. "That's it? All they have to do is clean the attic?" Andy asks.

"Andy, why are you so upset?" I ask.

"Because I'm also her parent and I deserve a say in her punishment." He says.

"I'm sorry, I'm just use to punishing the kids while Alex is off having fun."

"Well you're not alone in this parenting thing anymore." He kisses me. "I love you."

"To the end of the world and back?"

"To the end of the world and back."

"Then you promise you won't be too upset with me?"

"Why would I be upset with you?"

"It's just that, Sam uh, how do I say this?"

"Spit it out woman."

"You're not Sam's dad." He backs away from me and rubs the back of his neck. He passes back and fourth. "Andy please say something." I say weakly. Tears are sprung from my eyes and...





He punches the wall. He holds his hand and continues passing. Let's just say he made a lot more than a dent. I stay in the corner of the kitchen, petrified of what's to come next.

"What do you mean Sam's not mine?" He asks. I whimper behind the island. The pop-tarts pop from the toaster making me jump.

"Andy please calm down." I plea.

"When did you and Alex?" He asks sitting on a stool on the other side of the island.

"The week of the fall formal."

"Why?"

"We went to my dad's house and when I got back I was scared. One of the first things my dad said to me is that he saw a bit of himself in you and he meant it in a bad way. Then when Juliet was signing your divorce papers, she scared me because she was upset. They said you could be the death of me and I was vulnerable. I'm so so sorry, please don't leave me."

"Leave you? I love you to the end of the world and back, I'm just pissed. I need to take a walk." He storms out.
