Chapter 14

BEEP BEEP! “Ugh why does it have to be time already?” I groan as I roll out of bed and walk downstairs. I grab the Lucky Charms and pour them into my bowl. I then realize it’s really quiet in the house. I scan the area and walk upstairs. I poke my head into mom and dad’s bedroom and see they have already left. I roll my eyes and make my way to the spare bedroom, I poke my head in and see Preston still in bed. “Preston it’s time to get up.” I walk over and he doesn’t move. I shake him softly “Come on it ti—“He grabs my arm and I fall into him as he wraps his arms around me and just groans. 

“Trust me you’re not the only one who doesn’t want to go to school but we have to.” I unwrap his arms and go to my room before I leave I turn around “now please get your lazy ass up love you!” I giggle to myself. I finally make it to my room and look in my closet of what I should wear today. Today I chose a long pastel purple like dress with white gladiator sandals and simple jewelry which is pearl earrings, my watch and a couple bracelets. 

I walk back downstairs grab my jean jacket, bag and phone. I’m about to walk out the door until hands wrap around my waist “where do you think you’re going?” “To school, where do you think I’m going?” “Without me?! How dare you I am so disappointed!” I laugh a little “get a hold of yourself dude! You want to walk with me? It’s a beautiful day out and I felt like walking so you coming or not?” He smiles at me and gives me a quick kiss “sure let me get my things and I’ll be there.” I roll my eyes at him ‘oh god’ is all I can think. 

We walk hand in hand on our way to school and to be honest for it being a Monday I’m pretty happy and vibrant. I’m probably just over tired. We finally get to school and are crowded with our friends. Preston with his guy friends and me with my girlfriends. The girls are all gushing about how we were holding hands and walking to school together. While they do this I sneak glances at Preston and see him staring at me with a smirk on his face. The bell rings and we make our way to our first class. 

‘Oh thank god!’ is all I think when the last bell of the day rings. Like I said earlier I was over tired because by the time last period came I was close to passing out on my desk. I get up and go to my locker. I grab my stuff and when I close the door Preston is standing there waiting for me so we can walk home. We once again lock hands and make our way home. 

We get home and see mom and dad’s cars in the drive way. Home this early? That isn’t good. Preston and I give each other a look and we take deep breaths and walks up to the house. We walk in to find my mom crying, my dad staying absolutely still and just sitting in his chair staring at nothing. “Mom, dad? What’s wrong?” They both look at me and say nothing, Preston squeezes my hand. Mom looks at Preston “could you give us some privacy please?”

I sit down trying to comprehend why mom is crying. She tells me that my aunt has passed away due to cancer. I am sad let me say but I was never close with my aunt she never came around like ever. Her and my dad had a big fight a long time ago and never really forgave each other. I only seen her a couple times in my life. I guess mom is crying because she introduced them. Mom never took notice to her or even that they liked each other. I kind of feel bad that I’m not crying or anything. Yea it’s sad but I just didn’t know her well enough that’s all. 

I excuse myself and walk over to Preston’s room. I open the door and slam it behind me, catching him off guard. He turns around and faces me. “You okay?” I nod my head “what’s wrong?” “My aunt died.” “Oh babe, I’m sorry.” He hugs me and I wrap my arms around him. I take in his scent and I instantly feel better. “I’m going to shower.” “Okay come back if you want.” I nod my head and head on up to my bathroom. I hop into the nice warm water and just it there. 

I change into sweats and walk downstairs back to Preston’s room. We make ourselves comfortable and turn on Silver Linings Playbook. I suddenly jerk up and realize I fell asleep and so has Preston. That isn’t the reason I woke up though. There is banging, crashing and yelling coming from the kitchen. I shake Preston hard and he wakes up realizing the same thing as me. 

We both hop out of bed and run to the kitchen. “I should have just forgiven her! It was so stupid! This is insane! Why does this have to happen!?” I hear my dad screaming. “Honey please! Kelly and Preston might wake up just please come back to bed! Please!” “NO! I’M NOT COMING BACK TO BED LEAVE ME ALONE! SHE’S DEAD AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO BRING HER BACK! MY BABY SISTER IS DEAD! I’M SUPPOSED TO PROTECT HER!” My dad has never gotten this loud before. I run in right at the time he throw a plate, but the plate is coming right at me. I am jerked to the side and I find that the plate missed me and I’m in Preston’s arms. Everyone stopped and is staring at my dad while he stares at me with tears in his eyes. “Kelly. I’m so sorry my daughter, I’m so sorry. He leans on the counter and cries which makes my mom and I to start crying. Mom looks at Preston “Preston take her back to her room please.” “No mom!” I start to fight to get out of his arms to run over to dad but they don’t let me out. He drags me to my room and slams the door with his foot while I still fight, cry and scream. “Preston please! Let me go!” I say in between sobs. “I can’t let you!” I drop in his arms and start to cry. 

A while after I am done crying and pretty much having a meltdown in Preston’s arms he lays me down on my bed and kisses my forehead. “Good night love.” He walks away and I cuddle into my sheets. Wow this has been a hectic month.
