"Well what did you want to talk to us about?" My mother asked. "Well, i don't know where to start. Uhm did you ever notice anything strange about me? As a kid i mean." "Well other then having your daddy wrapped around your little finger, i guess not." I looked up. "That's it. I recently found out I'm part siren." "What?" She asked. "So you didn't know about this?" I asked. "No of course not." I looked at my dad. "What about you?" He looked nervous. "No I didn't know about it. But i have to tell you something." He said looking down at his hands. His orange and yellow wings were glowing brighter then normal.

"Shortly after your mother and i had gotten together i was out in town and this beautiful woman came up to me. She convinced me to be with her. I knew as soon as i left what she was because i love your mother to the moon and back. But nine months later you showed up on our door step. There was a note saying you were mine. We had a DNA test done just to be sure." "Why didn't you ever tell me!?" I asked mad. "Well we had meant to really we did. But it just didn't seem so important. We loved you as if you were our own." "Well i guess i am yours just not mom's Or whoever you are." I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"I understand you're upset with me. But when i couldn't have children of my own it was like a gift from above, and i was worried if i told you that you'd hate me." "Now why would i hate you? My own mother didn't want me at least you stepped up." I said. "Well your mother she just, i don't know. Sirens don't typically make good mothers." Great now i have a new set of problems to worry about. I had always thought I'd be a good mother. I wanted lot's of kids. But what if my siren part of me made me a bad mother? My phone beeped in my pocket. I pulled it out. It was an email from my professor. "Thought you'd like this information of sirens." She said. I replied with a quick thank you.

I couldn't really talk to my parents anymore. They had told me what i wanted to know. And honestly i was still mad they lied to me. I needed time to cool down. I told them thank you and flew back to my dorm. As i figured Ethan was on the front porch waiting for me. I told him everything my parents said. "Well i wouldn't worry about the being a bad mother thing. You could never be a bad mother." "How did you know that's what i was worried about?" I asked. He put his forehead against mine. "Because i know you." He ran his finger under my eye to get me to stop stressing.

I leaned back sighing. "But how do you know?" "Because you're a good person, and you care about people. It seems your fairy side is pretty strong." The front door burst open and Kerry ran out. "Dalton you ate my freaking shoe, again!! Why do you have to do that?" She hollered slamming the door behind her. "Kerry are you okay?" I asked. She narrowed her eyes at me. "Do i look okay? Dalton is getting on my nerves." "You really should be less grouchy. He can't help it." I said. She opened the door. "Dalton, I'm sorry i yelled at you. But could you please not eat my shoes? Maybe go buy a few that look tasty." She closed the door.

"Did you see that?" Ethan said his eyes getting wide. "Yea, Kerry's not a guy." "That's your talent." He said excitedly. "You can control people." "Maybe she was just being sarcastic. You know how she loves it." I said. "Okay try it again." "Kerry." She looked at me. "Could you do a cartwheel?" She'd never do anything that crazy. She would snap her fangs at you and tell you to go screw yourself. She immediately did a cartwheel. "Woah." I said. "Do you know what this means?" He asked. "Yea, i could control the world. Crap that is a scary thought." I said. Kerry went back inside no longer mad at Dalton.

I thought of all the things I could do with this power. For one thing I'd had a crush on Ethan since I pretty much met him. He was so cute, sweet and caring. And he always knew how to make me feel better.

For the briefest of moments i had the thought that i could make Ethan like me but i knew it wouldn't be real. I mean i might be happy at first but it wasn't fair to him. He deserved to be with somebody he really loved. And that kind of hurt. I knew i should move on, and trust me i tried. I dated lot's of guys trying to find somebody i liked. But every time I'd date one. I'd just want Ethan and they couldn't compare. I know, I'm sad.

But what was i going to do with this talent? "We should probably keep this to ourselves." I said. "You think?" "Yea just think of what this would mean if word of my talent got out. Somebody could make me use my talent for evil, for there personal gain." "You are right about that." I immediately started crying. "What? I thought you'd be happy to finally have a talent." He said. "Y-you'd th-think." I said. "W-when i said i w-wanted a t-tal-ent i meant i want to fre-eze th-things with m-my hand, bec-come invisib-ble not con-trol p-people. That's the worst thing ever." I said.

"Well, okay let's go with this theory for a minute. Before you knew you had this talent you never used it and everything was fine. So just don't use it and you'll be fine." He said rubbing my back. "Okay." I said nodding because there was nothing else i could do. "You know you could get your teachers to give you all A's." "Yea but i don't want to do that i want to pass because i work hard." I said. "I know just cool to think about." He said.

"Are you angry at your parents?" He asked after a while of silence. "Yes. I guess i am. I don't know, i guess i blame them for lying to me." "Join the club." He said sighing. Ethan and his parents have never really gotten along. His dad left at a young age and when he tried to have a relationship with him it just wasn't going to happen. Some people just can't be good parents and his mom poor thing. She blamed everything she did on Ethan's dad leaving. Like come on really? Be the parent you need to be step up when he won't. But that's all water under the bridge. When Ethan was sixteen he left home. He got a job and supported himself.

"Ethan why do parents have to be so stupid?" I asked. He put his arm around me and pulled me to him. "I don't know Soph but if we ever find out we'd be happy." He said. "Yea but why stop there? I mean why do our parents define our happiness screw them. I want to be happy despite them. They weren't worried about us when they were doing stupid. I mean my mom and your dad, just did what they wanted and left. This is so ridiculous!" I said getting fired up. My wings were glowing very brightly. "Woah, calm down. It's okay. They don't define our happiness you're right." He said holding his hand up for a high five. I hit his hand with mine.

"So, club. Yes?" He asked. "No, i really need to study." I said. "Alright alight." He said standing up. "You know I'm making straight A's because of you? I mean you're seriously ruining my rep." He said holding the front door open. "What rep?" I asked laughing. "Come on you know i had one." He said. "Of course you did." I said laughing.

After i had studied eaten dinner and showered i sat at my desk with my Journal. I know that was kind of junior highish but it helped me get my feelings out. Today was such a long day.

*Well today i found out I was part siren. I know what? My parents had been lying to me all of my life so that's cool. But i found out that i have a talent. I can control people. Most people would think that's pretty cool but i don't like the idea of being able to tell people what to do. So my real mother she's a siren. Siren's apparently make terrible mothers, now I have worries and fears that I'll be a bad mother. But Ethan says i won't. I don't know if i should trust him because his mom sucked or not trust him because how would he know? I guess that's not something i have to worry about for a really long time. But the one question i had to ask myself was: did i still want to be a mother? I couldn't do what Ethan's parents did, just give up. Or my mother, give me up, and for what reason? She couldn't take care of me. But it's not like an accidental pregnancy my mother knew what she was doing. I wanted to strangle my mother, i really did. But us faeries, we're a peaceful bread.*

I took a deep breath gripping my sparkly purple pen. *So I figured i should point out that Ethan and i are still nothing but friends. I know how depressing. And at my age i should really settle down but Ethan doesn't have a girlfriend either. And okay maybe that's a stupid reason not to find a boyfriend. But i guess deep down I'm hoping he's still single because he likes me. But he's not done the first thing to make a move. How lame is that!? Okay i guess it's not that lame i haven't done anything either. But he's like hot. Like as in tons of girls like him hot. So how do i ask him out? I mean i guess I'm no slouch. Guys seem to like me. But honestly I'm just so shy. Maybe if Ethan wasn't so cute i wouldn't feel so intimidated. Okay so that's lame to. I guess i just didn't want to get rejected. I mean we've been best friends for forever what if it's weird. What if i say something and he laughs!? I would cry. I cry....sometimes more then most people.*

I clicked the end of my pen and went to sleep. No point in thinking about this anymore.
