Someone Like You-Chapter 10

Scarlett and Halley went to Scarlett's 4 month check up to see how everything was going with the baby. Scarletts scared of doctors so Halley pretty much had to force her to talk. I can relate to that, going to the doctor is possibly the worst thing ever. After that they went to work and Halley's mother was there. When she checked out she told Halley they'd go out to eat, just the 2 of them, so they could talk. That's never a thing a child wants to hear! At dinner it started out good, but then she started saying stuff about how Macon was changing Halley and then she refused to let Halley see Macon anymore. This mad Halley incredibly mad, it would do the same to me. When they got home they found out that Halley's grandmother had fallen and she was laying there by herself for awhile. Halley's mom went on a flight to see her.

Halley sadly began losing her grandmother. She was getting more and more forgetful. She'd call in the middle of the night scared and panicky asking if everyone was ok. I can really relate to this. My grandma Freier has Alzheimers and she is forgetful. She's only in the early stages of it, she has been for a few years now, so she still remembers me. She just asks questions over and over again. Scarlett and Halley soon made a new friend in Cameron Newton. He was a new kid and everyone thought he was weird, because he was very quite. They soon had their minds changed because they found out he was really funny. Halley's mother was beginning to not like Macon at all, he would call late at night and drive crazy around their house. It all came out one night when Halley came home late from going to Macon's house. I'm so glad I don't have a strict curfew. It's hard to explain, I have one but then I dont.

It seemed like everything now involved the baby since it was clear she'd be having it. Scarlett was to the point where all she could eat was crackers and juice and everything else just made her want to vomit. That sounds terrible! I hate vomiting, it's possibly the worst thing ever. One day Elizabeth Grunderson came to Halley and asked if her and Macon were still together. When Halley said yes Elizabeth replied with a watch out because hes a terrible boyfriend. I hate girls like that. I just want to punch them! After that Halley got sick and ran to the bathroom. Halley fallowed and they talked about the pregnancy with out knowing that Ginny Tabor was in there. Of course by lunch everyone was looking at Scarlett weird. I don't know how I would react if a classmate got pregnant. Probably be very surprised! It's weird though because after Halley knew everyone knew she finally became hungry for everything.

On that Saturday it was Halley's birthday and Macon surprised Halley at the store by buying some stuff and holding up the line by talking to Halley. I wouldn't care what the others said, its my birthday the only day that is your own. That night they went to eat out with the Vaughns and Scarlett at Halley's favorite place. I really didn't do anything with my family last year, just went to a baseball game and then my friends threw me a surprise party. :) That was nice! After everything was done they went home and opened presents. After that Halley went to her room and later heard Macon come. She snuck out and Macon said he had to show her something. She figured since it was her birthday she'd live alittle and break the rules. I probably would do that anytime. There he took her to a place where after sitting for awhile she found out she was on a strip of cement above water a mile below. I'd be terrified. From there it was just her and Macon that night.

Halley's mom was furious, and made sure that she was punished for what she did. She had a month of being grounded and her phone time was restricted. I think that's alittle harsh for skipping school the only time in her life. She demanded to know who the guy was, but she wouldn't tell her and she was saved by Marion calling her and telling her to come over. She knew then that they were going to explain that Scarlett is pregnant and she just went to help her. When she came home everything was ok except that the punishment still stood and Halley's mom was telling Halley how big of a mistake this was. Also Halley's mom found out that Macon was they guy and that he and Halley were together.

The abortion was going to happen that Friday of the week, Marion had everything planned out. As the day grew closer the quieter Scarlett became. On the day Halley's mom had to take Halley to school. It was a easy ride till the found Marion and Scarlett on the highway, then questions came out. After everyone Halley was getting even more upset. When they finally got to the school Macon came and told her not to make any plans the next day because it was her birthday and he was going to do something special. That is really cute! Scarlett soon called the school, pretending to be Halley's mom, and said there was a family emergency and she needed to be excused. She told Halley that she needed her to come get her and that she didn't have the abortion. I'm glad she didn't, its the only part of Michael thats still with her! She had Macon take her. They spent the whole day just hanging out. When she got home her mom was furious because she saw them driving on the highway at 10. My mom would freak!

After Marion said she couldn't deal with the talk of Scarlett having a baby Scarlett had enough and stormed up to her room. With that Steve came at the door asking if Marion was ready. Of all the great timing that sure was bad. Marion went up to talk to Scarlett. I think if I was in the possision of telling my mom this I would like her to actually talk to me about it, not seem like she was forced. When Marion was up there she said that they'd go to the doctor so she could get a abortion done. It seemed to me that Scarlett really didn't want that.

At work one day Scarlett randomly came to Halley and said, "Come to the bathroom now, I need you!" As soon as Halley had a chance she went in the bathroom and saw Scarlett holding what looked like a white stick. All of a sudden after that Scarlett blurted out she was pregnant. I couldn't believe it when I read it. It sure was a shocker. Then the hard part was still to come in telling Scarlett's mom. They did that night at the supper table. Then when she was going up the steps to get ready for her date Scarlett finally yelled out that they need to talk. When Scarlett kept saying it was bad and Halley started to cry Marion quickly got scared. Then Scarlett finally said that she was pregnant. Marion soon said that she couldn't deal with this now because of her date. I could never tell my mom and then to hear her say that she couldn't deal with it. Wow that would be terrible! I'd be so nervous!

That next morning Halley was expected to mow the lawn. This lawn was known as a terrible lawn with many things that could almost kill you if you didn't know where they were. Halley was enthused at all to do this so she just went at it. I used to mow my grandparents lawn when they still lived in Delmont, but one day I saw I snake and that was the end of that. I'm terrified of snakes! Halley forgot about a hole in the ground and she fell head first. At that time Macon showed up with his mower and said he would help. Her parents had no idea who this guy was so they were alittle worried. Halley explained to her father that he was a friend and with that he knew he was something more.

 Once Halley and Scarlett got into the house it was pretty much a full on search party for Macon. He was no where to be found downstairs or upstairs. On there way down the stairs something bad happened in the fact that someone broke a very treasured vase and spilled red wine all over Ginny Tabor's parents carpet. I would have freaked! I would probably be grounded for the rest of forever. After all that happened people decided it was time to go. Halley and Scarlett just went home and sat outside talking while Halley tried to convince herself that it was no big deal that Macon blew her off. It's not as easy as it sounds that's for sure! All of a sudden Halley saw someone creep onto her front yard and start throwing stones at her window while yelling her name. Sure enough it was Macon. She went over and tapped his shoulder scaring him half to death. Macon asked why he stood her up and then Halley said back that he blew him off. Once they finally got it figured out they didn't see each other, Halley's dad came out to see what caused the comotion. I'd be sooo embarrassed! Halley made up a lie. Once he went back in Halley and Macon started kissing till a car came up and Macon had to go.

Halley makes Scarlett come to the party even though she's sick and would much rather stay home. I would probably do the same. I hate going places by myself, I just feel dumb. At the party the first person they see is Ginny Tabor. They really can't stand her, and I see why. For her to freak out like she did after Michael's funeral just because they dated for a week. That just seems kind of stalkerish to me.

Marion, Scarletts mother, was going out with a guy with the name of Steve. This may not have been that big of a deal, but this was one of the many boyfriends Scarlett had to see her mom go out with. I would hate that, you really start to like someone your mom is dating and then they're finally out of your life. It's like you're going threw a break up just like your mom. The funny thing about this guy is his hobbie. He likes to pretend he's in medevil times where they joust and do stuff like that. I would never in my life do that! It really didn't matter to Halley because that night is when she was going to meet up with Macon at the party. You could say she was excited, but really why wouldn't she be.

Well it finally happened, Macon asked Halley out on a Friday. It started off casual him asking her what she was doing this weekend, then it happened. He said if she had nothing to do to come to a party he's going to. She was so excited, it took everything she could to stall calm. Halley even memorized the time. I honestly think that's just a bit weird, but it's whatever I guess.

In September Halley's father's radio show had become the "it" station. Sound's like 104.7 or 100.5 for us.  It wasn't bad till one day he told a story about when Halley was 5 years old and she was running and slipped on a huge mud puddle. She was so embarresed, everyone in school even Macon was making jokes. I would never in my life forgive my father for that. He wouldn't be the one to even do it, that would be my mom. She's done some embarressing things, but I even think that'd be a streach for her. As things went on Halley kept feeling like her parents didn't fit in her life right now, like they were just there.

After awhile PE became Halley's favorite part of each day. This was because of Macon. She was definitely falling for this guy, but who could blame her, he even sounded hot by just reading about him. This could be because I know I guy by the name of Macon and he's really hot. Haha what can ya do I guess! They would have conversations and Halley would run to tell Scarlett, but she could tell Scarlett was still really in love with Michael and that hearing these stories really hurt because that's how it started for them to. That would really suck. Like you'd have to watch what you say because just one thing could trigger it and make her upset.
