that night, i lay in my bed, starring uo at the ceiling, thinking about how my life was going so good, then i get this bombed dropped on me.I knew i needed CC, but would he even answer a call from me? one of the reasons i left was because of his career, and now i'll be asking him to take care of my child?how would he even feel about me having a two year old son? but i didnt have a choice
it was only 1 am, on a thrusday night, and if the ffamily dinners stayed the same, then he would still be out at one of the guys houses. once i got settled, i got a car. on nights when i wanted to kill myself, i would drive down to Ccs house, nights like these i would lay awake, starring at the picture of us all on warped wondering what woould have happened if i adnt partied so much, if i hadnt drank so much that night i slept with andy, what if i wouldd have just stayed.
i reach out to the bedside table, unplugging my phone from the charger, and called him.
''hello?'' said the familiar voice of my brother ''helllloo?''
''CC...?'' i said quietly.
there was a long pause before ''Miranda?"
" hi...'' tears ran down my face
''hi''
'' what are you up to?''
''im actually at jakes, family dinner, i just stepped outside to smoke''
'' how is jake the pancake?'' i say, trying to lighten the mood
''he's good. him and ella are married now''
''good, wish i was there...''
''so do we..'' just then i heard the sound of a door closing and opeing, followed by the deep gruff of Andys voice. my breath stalled for a minute or two ''miranda?''
''uh... yea, sorry. i wanna see you...is that possible?''
''yes, for sure. when?''
''um... tomorrow at 1?'' he agreed and told me a place, and we said goodbye for the night
-------------------------cc pov--------------------
i was sitting out on the front porch of jakes place, while the others were inside, i was in the middle when my phone lit up with a phone number i didnt regconize. when i heard the voice on the other end, i thought i was dreaming. my heart began to ache, and my vision blurred ith tears. this was a call i had been waiting for, for 2 years. Miranda. My sweet baby sister.
''who was on the phone?'' asked Andy, when he came out and saw my teared stained face
''Miranda...'' i told
'what? dont lie to me cc...''
''im not, she wants to meet for lunch tomorrow... catch up''
''wow... did she tell you anything?''
''no, it was just the simple stuff''
'' i just never figgured out why we didnt find her, even with the help of the cops, how could a fucking 16 year old just dissapear!'' when ever we bought up miranda leaving, andy always ended up this was. i found out a month after she left that andy had truly loved her, but knew that dating a 16 year old would bbe bad for everyone.
''cc... whats up?'' jinxx asked as i walked into the house after i finished my smoke
''miranda'' i said to the full room
''what?'' asked Ash
''i just got a call from miranda, she wants to see me''
''you think shes going to come back? be apart of the family again?'' ella asked with so much hope in her eyes. to ella, miranda was a little sister.
''i hope so...''
