The Girl

Chapter 24 - Heir?

I espied
I copied
I lied
Deep inside
It died
The feeling......
of getting attached once more, died

(Joanne's Pov)

"Here take my jeep" Silver says handing me his car keys. I nod at him and rushed down the stairs towards the garage. I started the car and sped down the gravel road desperately trying to catch up with Jacob.

I could see him a few meters ahead and increase my speed. I honk at him but he ignores me.

"Motherfu....pull up or I'll run you over" I yelled.

He shook his head and pointed towards town.

"Fine"  I huffed.

He parks at Seaboat's Cafe enters and sat at the back of the booth.
I parked next to his car and made my way towards his booth.

Ok ok JJ first try to reason with him and defend dad...

There was tension thick in the air I swear a knife could cut through it.

I sigh about to break the tension but Jacob beat me to it.

"I know dad was alive all along so don't wreck your brains over what to say to me" he said looking out the parking lot.

I open and close my mouth like a fish contemplating whether to kick his arse right now or just leave. What's up with this family keeping important information from each other.

"What the ever loving fuck?!" I yelled banging my fist on the table, well gaining a few looks from the diner.
Jacob hissed and rubbed his forehead.

"Keep your voice down will you?" he rolls his eyes. Did he just rolled his fucking eyes at me?

"Hey hey hey chill I could practically see smoke coming out from your ears, stop giving me daggers" he says with a blank face.

I close my eyes and count to ten and sigh when I dont see red anymore.

"Ok, but why didn't you tell me after all this time?" I ask with gritted teeth.

He ignored my question and called for a waitress.

A burnett struts over with a pen and notepad on her hands with a practiced smile.

"Hey Jacob" she greets and nods at me with a genuine smile.

"What can I get you?" she asks ignoring Jacob.

I raised an eyebrow at her and grinned.  I like her...Technically when I tag with Jacob girls usually ignore me but her....

"Iced coffee please" I shrug and fix my gaze back to my brother dearest. She nods jotting it on her notepad...

"The usual?" she ask still gazing at the notepad and Jacob grunts.

Okay something is definitely fishy. She struts elegantly back to the kitchen and dissapeared behind the kitchen doors. She is so pretty, if I saw her outside the diner without an apron on you would've thought she was a model.

Why are they being awkward around each other?
I dismissed the question and started tapping on the table gaining Jacob's attention.

He sighs and rubbed his forehead.

"You know rubbing that thick head of yours won't change the subject" I scoff.

"The reason why I kept dad from you was so that you won't take over" he whispered.

"Huh?" I asked baffled.

"Ever wonder who's older than who?" he said rolling his eyes.

Him obviously why would he ask...

"Wait...who's older?" I ask raising my eyebrow.

He raised he's back and leans back his seat.

I'm older!? What the flying fuck...

You could practically hear the screws turning through my head.

"I was supposed to take over the business after mom died" I whispered.

"Yeah you were even ready before reaching sixteen, our parents forced your trainer Chris to train you non stop" he said.

Before he could continue the burnett came back with our orders. A cup of black coffee and my iced coffee.

"Anything else?" she ask we both grunt and she nods walking away.

"I despised you back then, you were so cold, always wanted to be alone, always wanted to please our parents by torturing people, innocent or not you didn't care" he said.

He sips his coffee and continues "I never wanted to be part of this but the day I heard the car crash was not an accident I took over the business and haunted the person responsible for it, up until now I still haven't caught em" he hissed.

Sipping my iced coffee I gulp.
"I waited till you turn eighteen to reveal myself" he said.
"I'm going to clear this up for you JJ, your not taking over the family business, it's too dangerous" he continues and I scoff.

"Don't you think I get to decide that?" I smirk fluttering my eyes. I stood up grab my iced coffee and waltz my way out of the diner.

Walking up to the nearest bus stop to catch a bus home.

"Dangerous huh?" I chuckle.
"Does he not know me that well?" I scoff.
I was caught off my thought when I saw a kid probably in preschool running towards the middle of the road trying to get to the other side following her mother maybe?

A truck was speeding far from the highway not seeing the little kid. Instincts kicked in and I dove for her pushing her out of the way but didn't have enough time to get out myself.

Honks were heard with my brother desperately calling out my name but it was too late and so darkness surrounds me, I was in a deep slumber......again.
