I could see them all from my window. I watched as they left in the limo that they had hired. Everyone was excited about being able to go to Prom once again, something that hadn’t happened in a long time in Stowe Peak.
“Your father and I will be going too,” I turned around to realize that my mom was talking to me. That was all she ever did, speak to me when it came to giving me my instructions for that day. It was as if she wanted to show that not only did dad have authority over my miserable life, but she did too.
“Where?” I asked, acting as if I hadn’t overheard them in the kitchen arguing about leaving me at home. They hadn’t done it in months and, with my pregnancy starting to show, they were worried about doing it again.
“Well, it’s not like he can get her pregnant again after he’s already done it,” Mom had said to dad, telling him that there was no reason for both of them to stay at home. I was sure that she was secretly wanting to go, wanting to be part of the main event of the year that hadn’t happened for so long.
“Yes, but I don't want him anywhere near her. He may get ideas,” Dad had argued back, and I knew exactly what he meant. Being alone with me may give Carl the idea to run off with me and then we would both be out of this miserable town and away from them.
“I will watch him as if my life depends on it. Make sure that he doesn’t leave the school and that he doesn’t come back here.”
Dad offered another suggestion, “And I will unplug the phone in case she decides to call him.”
If it was anyone else’s parents then it would have been comical. I would have laughed hearing them debate about ways to keep us apart. But, they were talking about Carl. The man whose baby I was carrying and he didn’t even know. Mom had voiced her disappointment at my weight gain, but then she said that seeing as this was my second pregnancy that could be the reason for getting so big quickly. It couldn’t be because of my huge appetite, which I lost as soon as I came out of Hell.
Funny, no one seemed to have noticed in school. Or maybe it was a case of them noticing, but everyone keeping quiet.
I shook my head. If they had noticed, Carl would have said something. There was no way he would have kept his distance. I was only four months, but then I suppose to anyone else I would look a lot bigger.
“The Prom. It’s the first time that the school has been allowed to have one after all these years.”
The school? Rather Dad had allowed them to have one.
“Anyway, I just want to make sure that you have no intention of contacting that boy. You know the consequences, and you’re already a few months gone.
