"I use drugs" Silver said
OMG, i can't believe this. I mean Silver using drugs? For what? She doesn't have any problems.
"S..you"
"I know, I'm sorry i haven't told you about this before"
"Since when S?"
"Since my mother passed away, two years ago. I started freaking out. My parents were gone.
I have no one. I'm all alone. One night, i went to a nightclub. It was so crowded and i wasn't feeling very well. I drank a lot. Then this guy came to me"
"Aaron?" i asked
"Yeah. He offered me those things. He said it's gonna make me feel better, so i tried. And i started using drugs. Aaron was a really nice guy. He's gorgeous too. He asked me on a date..."
"I don't have to hear about your love life. The thing is you need to stop!"
"Cate, i want to, but Aaron keep giving me those things. I can't stop. Now, i really need money"
"You have to stop! Do you want to die? Are you trying to kill yourself? Please S, you have to stop!" I begged her
"I can't Cate. I'm a druggie"
"Yes, you can Silver. You can do this. You're a strong girl. And you should risk your relationship with Aaron. If you have to break up with him, you have to"
"But, i love him"
"Does he love you back? Love never hurts anyone else. I know you can do this! Please stop!" i said
"Cate i.."
Someone's phone was ringing.
"S..your cell"
"No, not mine. Maybe Austin's"
I went to the bedroom and i picked up Austin's phone.
"Hello" i answered
"Austin, where are you? When are you coming back to London?" it was a girl's voice
"Who is this?"
"Oh, sorry, I'm Kara. Where's Austin?"
"He's not here. Do you want to leave a message?"
"No, thanks. I'll call him back. Just tell him i called"
"Sure"
Then i hung up. Who was that chick? I'm curious.
"Who's that?"
"Kara, i don't know who she is, I'll ask Austin later"
"Okay"
"Now, can you do it for me please? I'm gonna give you the the money and i promise i won't tell anybody about this"
"Cate, i wish i can do that for you, but i can't and I'm very sorry"
"Yes you can. I'm gonna give you the money and I won't tell anybody, even Austin or my mom"
"Thank you very much Caitlin"
"You know what, let's hang together. Just you and me. Right now. We'll go shopping and I'll buy you anything you want. Actually my Amex will. I heard there's a new coat in Chanel store. But, promise me, you will try to stop, okay?"
"Sure, but what if Aaron.."
"Forget Aaron! Please, best friend will always be there for you, but boyfriend? No"
"Okay Cate"
After that, we changed our clothes and went to a mall near our hotel. We bought lots of new outfits. Silver looked very happy. I'm glad she is. Her problem is just Aaron. I think i have to talk with him about this problem. We went out like two or three hours and after that we met Gina with Jesse at the cinema. We were planning to watch Underworld three. We heart horror movies. And i love Kate Beckinsale. The problem is, what is Gina and Jesse doing together? They can't be together.
"Hey Gina, what a coincidence. What are you guys doing here?"
"Jess asked me if i want to watch something. Well, i said i never went to the circus before, but when we went to "Circus Circus" the ticket was already sold out. So, we decided to watch Marley and Me"
"Oh, long story. Anyway, excuse us, the theater door already open"
Me and Silver went inside the theater and watched Underworld three. After we watched that, i noticed that my phone was ringing. It's my mom.
"Hello"
"Caty , where are you?"
"Still in Vegas, ma. What's wrong?" i asked her
"You have to go back Caty. We have a family thing"
"Go back to New York?"
"Yeah. You still have four hours in Vegas. You should be at the airport at 8 pm , okay?"
"Alright ma. But, where are the tickets?"
"Charlie. I gave it to him. When you arrive here, just come home as soon as possible"
"Sure ma. Will you tell me everything about it at home?"
"I will, bye Cate"
"Bye mom"
I explain Silver what my mom said. We went back to MGM and told everyone about it. Some of them were dissapointed. We were suppose to stay here for one more week, but because of my family thing, we had to go home. Back to the Upper East Side in New York. Back to school. I hope there's nothing serious at home. I hope my mom is fine.
We arrived at the New York's airport at 2.30 am. I slept at Austin's home and in the morning he drove me to my home.
"Thanks A. I'll see you tomorrow at school.Bye" i said
Then he left. I opened my house door. I heard my mom talking with someone. An unfamiliar voice. They were yelling at each other. I'm so curious who that is. So, i went to my mother's room. She was with a guy. I didn't know him. I started talking.
"Hey mom, and hi to you too"
"Caty, i want to introduce you to someone"
"Is he your new boyfriend?" i asked
"No Caty, he's your father"
What? My dad? He left us for years and now he came back? What the heck!
"You're my dad?"
Anyway, he's kinda handsome.
"Yes Cate, i am"
Oh well, i'm still mad at him. What does he want now?
"Oh, where have you been Dad? You left us for years. What are you doing anyway?"
"Umm, Cate, calm. I'm back for you and Mary" he said
He has short brown hair and green eyes.
"Back? Why did you left us? To marry another woman huh? And now, after you left us for years, you want to come back to us. You want to remarry my mother? No way dad! No!" i yelled at him
"Let me explain Cate, please. You have to listen" he said
"Oh, well, you got ten minutes"
"Thanks Cate. So after your mom and i are married, i met another woman in the place where i work. We like each other. We started dating. But your mom didn't know"
What? Ugh, so stupid. He explained the stupid parts.
"Your mom got pregnant. And your mom caught me with this woman. She asked me for a divorce. So, you were still inside your mother when we got our divorce"
"Okay , three minutes"
"You have a sister Cate. From the woman that i married. And we just got divorce. Why? I can't explain. I want to be with your mother again"
"Times up dad. What sister anyway?"
"We're going to have a family dinner tomorrow with her and her mother" my mom said
No way. I have a sister? Ugh, i don't need my dad and sister too.
"Mom , i got homework to do and i don't feel very well"
"Caty, don't lie. It's just dinner. You just have to sit and eat the food"
"Ugh mom!! Fine, i'll go"
Then, i left. I went to my room. I picked up my sidekick and called Silver.
"Hello" she answered
"What are you doing now Silver?"
"Unpacking my stuff, what's wrong Cate?"
"I gotta talk to you about my family thing. Listen! I'm not the only one Stewart daughter or whatver"
"You got a sister?"
"Yeah. From another mother. It's sickening!"
"Whoa Cate, big deal. Do you want me to tell the whole group about this?"
"No thanks. I'll talk about it at school tomorrow"
"Bye Cate"
I hung up. I'm so stressed. I wonder how my sister looks like. Step sister. And her mother too. But, still, i must be prettier than her.
In the morning on the next day, i went to school. Austin picked me up. Gina sat in the back seat.
"Hey Gina"i greeted her
"Hi Cate" she greeted me back
"Umm, a mini dress, and high gladiator shoes. Nice mix Genie!"
"Thanks" she thanked me
Well, she got an A for her fashion today. Not so bad. I heart her mini dress. We met Silver at school. Gina and Austin left us alone. But, before Austin left, he gave a cheek to cheek kiss.
"Did you see Gina's outfit today?" Silver asked me
"Yeah, it's Ginalicious" i said
"Anyway Cate, you got an A plus from me for your outfit today"
"You too. Nice vintage babe"
I was wearing a black vintage dress with a pair of black shoes by Tony Bianco, and a Michael Kors handbag.
"Thanks"
I heart Silver's shoe. Anyway, i saw Maybelle today. She curled her hair. Well, nice. I think she's learning from magazines now. Her outfit wasn't so bad. Well, i gave her a B plus.
Me and Austin went to biology class together. I haven't seen Wendy. Where is she? But, i don't care. She's so annoying. I already talked about my new problem with my group, just in case i'm gonna need their help. I invited Gina to come to my house to help me look for an outfit for the family dinner tonight. I'm gonna wear something purple and black. After we looked for a couple of minutes, she found my leather mini dress by Alice & Olivia. I think i'm gonna wear that with my black legging and high heels.
At 5 pm, i asked Charlie to drive Gina to her house, cause i have to get ready. My mother knocked my room door at 7.30 pm.
"Caty, are you ready? We gotta go now!"
"Yeah mom, one second!"
"Hurry up Cate. Your father is waiting" she said
What? Dad? Again? I thought he was suppose to meet us at the restaurant.
"What do you think ma?" i asked my mom about my clothes
"Honey, it's great. But, your purse is so last year! Change it Caty!"
"Ugh, fine"'
My mom really cares about my fashion. She never wants me to wear anything that's already last year or last season. After that, we went into my dad's car. When we arrived at the restaurant, i got so nervous and i don't know why. We went inside and my father's ex-wife was already there with my step sister. My step sister was looking in the other way, so i can't see her face. But she looked very familiar. Her blonde curly hair. She was wearing a tartan headband. I think i recognize her. OMG, she's looking in the way where i stand with my family. I can't believe this. My step sister is...
