Take me Home Country Roads (Formally Unbreak My Heart)

Chapter Two: Greener Pastures

    ***Graciela’s point of view***
I wake up to the sound of stuff being shuffled around. My head is aching as I climb out of the soft warm comfort of the bed that I spent last night in. I have no idea what the hell is going on or even how I got here.
I look around and the boy are ferociously throwing shit into two boxes. It appears that they are moving. What the hell is going on. I didn’t know that they planned on moving.
“Good morning sleepyhead.” Mason smiles. “Get dressed and come help us out, the faster we get our shit packed the faster we get on the road.”
“Well okay,” I say but where the hell are y’all going?”
“Well, you see,” Mason starts “my boyfriend decided that he couldn’t live without his girlfriend, so we all decided that we needed to go with you.” Mason grins.
“Does momma and Daddy know?” I ask
“They sure do, Jon called your momma up and explained the situation.” Mason starts
“Your mom and dad said that as long as we pulled our weight we could stay.” Mason says.
“What are you all going to do for a job?” I ask mildly concerned.
“Well, you see it turns out that since your brother left, they have been really behind on the work around the farm.” Mason explains
“So, we all decided that we would help out there until they get all caught up.” Mason states
“You guys are so damn amazing.” I say as I jump out of bed.
We begin to pack up box after box and the boys begin to load the boxes we have packed into the back of the truck. They don’t have a lot of stuff due to the fact that the apartment came fully furnished. So aside from clothes and a few personal items there isn’t much to pack. It only takes about thirty minutes to get everything packed and ready to go.
The boys load the last of the boxed into Jon’s truck. We make sure that everything in the two trucks are secure and I start to get into my truck when I hear someone yell out.
“Hold up toots, wait for me.” Mason’s brother Jason calls out from somewhere.
I look around and finally I see a cab parked behind Jon’s truck. I walk over and see Jason standing there smiling at me.
“Wait what are you doing here?” I ask completely shocked to see him.
He heads to the trunk and the drivers opens it for him. He and the boys begin to unload the boxes that occupy the trunk. They sit them all on the driveway and Jason pays the driver sending him on his way.
“I decided to come with you guys.” Jason smiles.
“Sounds like your parents could use the extra help and honestly I haven’t been far from Mason since we were born.” Jason admits.
“So, you would miss your bubba if you didn’t come with us huh?” I ask giggling.
“Yeah okay, I’m my brothers boy.” He says
“I guess I am just a big pussy who can’t live without my best friend.” Jason sighs
“Feeling are mutual.” I wink “That is why Jon is coming with me in the first place.” I explain
“He thinks it’s for him but really it benefits me as well.” I smile
“So, do you want to ride with me or your brother?” I ask as they load the last of the stuff into my truck securing it.
“How far is it?” Jason asks considering his options.
“A little over three hours.” I respond.
“I am riding with you then.” Jason says jumping in my passenger seat.
“That is a long drive to deal with his station surfing, you don’t do that right?” Jason asks nervously.
“Not a lot, I just don’t like commercials.” I explain getting in the driver’s seat.
“We can hook up my phone to your Bluetooth and listen to commercial free it you want.” He offers kindly. “what kind of music do you listen to?” he asks
“Just about anything.” I respond.
“Good so do I.” Jason smiles as I hop out of the truck.
“I’m going to go let the guys know the plan then we can head out.” I smile.
“I’ll be right back.” I say as I walk toward Jon’s truck.
“Hey guys Jason is going to ride with me.” I say peeking my head in Jon’s open window.
“Thank goodness,” Mason chuckles “I love my Jason, but he is a pain in the ass to ride with.” Mason laughs
“He hates my music and always tries to push his music on me.” He sighs.
“I don’t think it the music that he hates.” I giggle. “More the constant flipping through the stations.” I laugh.
“What are you talking about?” Mason asks confused.
“Nothing, I said to much already, time to head out.” I laugh as I run back to my truck and jump in starting the engine.
“What was that about?” Jason asks.
“He thought it was the music you hated.” I giggle. “I might have mentioned it was the channel surfing you didn’t like, and he looked a little confused at first then a little pissy.” I laugh.
“Yeah he probably doesn’t ever realize that he does it, I think that it is part of his OCD” Jason explains.
“I’m guessing he doesn’t realize because he had no clue what I was talking about when I said it.” I explain
“Then I told him never mind and that I had said to much, giggled and ran away as fast as I could.” I smile.
“We joke through a lot of stuff; I’m guessing this will be the same.” I exclaim.
“I see.” Jason says. “Do you think it will make him feel bad when he realizes that he does it?” Jason asks concerned.
“I don’t think it will, he will remember I said it and work through the motions to stop it like he does everything else.” I explain.
“You see we have helped him stop a lot of the OCD things that he used to do, just by telling him about it.” I state.
“Then we work through it with him and get him to do other things to occupy his time and his hands.” I smile
“We went to a few therapy sessions with him and that is what the doctor recommended so, that is what we do for him.” I say, “He will be fine.”
“I hope so,” Jason says worried. “I don’t want to set him back again.”
