My Life in Little Idaho Chapter 4 Draft

I turned to walk down the stairs, almost tripping over electronic Elmo toys and barbie dolls, I managed to get downstairs alive. Now the hard part.
"Hey Tim" Said Ewan, I think he was trying to warm me up, "How're ya doin..."
"Fine, and you?" Said Tim, eyeing everyone in a confused way...
"Oh well, I'm better than some peopl.." I elbowed him, or tried to, but almost got the baby instead.
I smiled, "Well...um...hehe...OK." I said, stopping myself from shaking and facing the facts for a minute, "Tim.." I said quietly,
"Yes?" He said...looking anxious, "Is something wrong? Should I go?"
"No!" I practically yelled, "Please stay. I just have to tell you something, right now." I took a deep breath and started,
"When my mom was 15, um...she went on a date...and she had fun, a little to much, and Ewan and I were the result."
"O.K..." He said...
"And," I continued, "our dad left, until we were 6, then he came back and said he was sorry and then they proceeded to have the rest of the kids. Now my moms health had never been good, and she was never the brightest person, she would get mixed up in the wrong stuff and with the wrong people and do bad things, now..little did she know that our dad had..well he had AIDS. And she got it, and after May, the baby, was born, a week later she died. And he left, robbed a bank, is a wanted criminal, and after much work with lawyers and going to court 7 times, we have custody of the kids and live on our own." I stopped and swayed a little, I took a breath and waited for him to say something.
"Wow." He said, "You mean you're like parents?"
"Sort of." I said.
"OK..." He said slowly "So you brought me here to tell me that you can't have a boyfriend because of what happened to your mom, is that it?"1

"No! Not at all...I mean...Ewan doesn't like the idea much but I'm not stupid, and I don't think you would do something like that y'know?"2

"Well no duh, I wouldn't, but I just feel like...I don't know."3

"If you wanna leave, be my guest, Ewan has tried to have girlfriends and it doesn't work out most of the time but I'm sure we could work something out, unless you really don't want to. It's  your choice, Tim."4

"Well, I think I'll go and think about it..if that's Ok with you..."5

"Oh yeah, that's fine." I said, glad that he didn't freak out, even if he didn't stay. " Just call or something..please?"6

"Yeah, I will." He said, walking to the door, "Talk to ya later okay?"7

"Okay, bye" I said as he went out the door,8

"That went well," said Ewan "Didn't it?"9

"I hope so." I said, and boy did I hope so. 10
