CHAPTER 47
October's POV
"Mom-mom," I said, trying to interrupt her constant flow of talk. It figures, just as you lay down on the beach your phone rings.
"What are you doing today?" she asked, and then keept quiet long enough for me to answer.
"We're hanging out at the beach. Hannah and Joe are there already, they're watching my stuff, and Nick will be there later. He had to go into town to see a doctor, something about his insulin distributer were way off."
"Oh, that sounds serious! Is he all right? Why aren't you with him?" She said blamingly.
"It's not that bad! He found out in time and, mom, he did survive BEFORE he got that thing attached to him! He knows how to do the test himself! He IS fine." I breathed tiredly.
"If you say so," she muttered. "What are you eating? Lots of fruit I take it?" And just like that I was done talking to my mom.
"What did your mom want?" Hannah asked after I had lain back down.
"Ugh," I groaned. "Who knows? I hung up after she asked me if I was eating healthy!"
"Tobie," Hannah said, sitting up, looking straight at me. "I say this because I love you, okay?"
I nodded slightly.
"Maybe you should cut your mom some slack once in a while-" she started, but I cut her off by reminding her of some of the things my mother had said to me.
"I'm not saying what she did was right, in fact I mostly think she's wrong, but I think that you need to be the bigger person and just let some of the things she says go and-"
"Are you even listening to yourself?" I asked irritably. She sighed deeply.
"I just don't want you to just hate her on instinct. She's only doing this because she loves you"" she pleaded. Was she on crack? No person loving another would treat me the way my mom treats me.
"Loves me?" I questioned. "That ain't love. That woman hates me!"
Hannah opened her mouth to respond, but this time Joe cut her off.
"Tobie, calm down. Hannah's only trying to help you!"
"Well, maybe it's non of her business!" I scoffed, sending her a glance.
"It is too my business!" she retorted, lamely, I might add.
"Why don't you butt out of my problems and start worrying about your own!" I spat. "I'm not the one lying to my boyfriend!" As soon as the words had left my mouth, fear consumed her face. I know that was a low blow, but she was seriously pushing my buttons.
"What's she talking about Hannah?" Joe asked confused.
"Nothing!" Hannah lied.
"Ha!" I snorted, turning to Joe. "Why don't you ask her to tell you about Leanne or wait, is it Liam?"
"Leanne, Liam? Hannah what's going on?" Joe asked pleadingly. Hannah looked despairingly at him. Both she and I knew she had to come clean.
"Leanne is Liam," Hannah said, looking down in shame. "After I told you about meeting Liam, you sounded so hurt! So to make it easier on you I invented Leanne and told you he moved."
"I can't believe you!" Joe said in a slightly raised voice.
"I was only trying to save you from getting hurt!" she begged, tears threatening to escape her eyes.
"Well, you did a mighty fine job," Joe spat as he got on his feet, ready to make a run for it.
"Joe!" Hannah cried out pathetically, but he was gone.
"Thanks a lot, Tobie." She mumbled, finally letting the tears, that had been building, fall.
Didn't see that one coming did you? :)
