(Chapter 17- Bad Boy Confessions)

"Hey honey." Mom smiles before grabbing me up in a hug.

Oh no. She's showing true affection this must be really bad. She never does this unless she giving me some bad news. I can recall the last time she did this, it was about a six months ago when she told me she accidentally let my dog scooter out of the house and he runaway, never to be seen again. Poor scooter. Yes this must be bad.

'Or maybe she just missed you.'

'I doubt that. The only thing she misses is work.'

Once mom let me go dad smiled and patted me on the back. "Hey kiddo."

Oh no he's being nice to. I hope their not making us move across the country for something like that.. It would not be ideal right now.

I look around the room half expecting something really bad to happen but it doesn't. All I know is that something is going on and it wasn't good. What happened on the trip away?

"Sweetheart, help me carry the luggage to my room." Mom smiles picking up one of the bags herself and walking up the stairs.

I pick up a piece and follow along behind her. I somehow feel like this is all a ruse to get me alone or something. Maybe she's plans to give me the bed news in private. That's thoughtful I suppose.

What if she knows about the party and she's telling I can't see Brody anymore? What if she makes us break up? I can't let that happen.

I ignore the clenching pain in my chest as I think about it. I don't want that to happen by any means. I need Brody too much to let him go. He has helped me more than anyone else could, through everything that's been going on and, I don't want to lose him. I need him.

I shock myself at admitting that. My feeling for him are progressing and I'm not doing to stop them. And I don't want to.

"Just place that down by the door." She says putting hers there as well.

I do this just before she turns to me and begins studying my clothes. "Where did that shirt come from? Really Farrah, I hope you're not going be one of those girls who dresses like a boys now. That isn't very attractive. How will you ever get a boyfriend that way?"

Well, critical mother is back.

I sigh and resist the urge to roll my eyes at her. That would only land me in trouble."No mom I'm not and, I already have a boyfriend remember?"

"Oh that's right." She feigns embarrassment. "I how could I forget?"

"I don't know considering you were so pleased with me dating "Mr. Bauer's son." I mock.

She immediately drops her fake act and crosses her arms over her chest. She doesn't look at all happy right now.

"Well I may as well get right down to it." She states not breaking eye contact with me.

Finally.

"What?"

"The Coleman's have just signed another four year contract with your dad's agency and as a thank you we're taking them to the cabin at the lake this weekend before it gets too cold. It's the same one we were at this summer with them." She says not the least bit regretful. What happen to the guilty look from before? Well that lasted a whole three minutes. I think that might be a new record.

She did this on purpose. Now that Blake's family has given my dad's company something that will make him more money they are using me to seal the deal. They don't really care about me it's all about the business. Last week they couldn't have been more pleased with me being with Brody but now they are trying to push Blake and I together. Well this time I refuse to be part of it.
