This is me BOOK 3

Chapter 10 Loads of trouble

My POV

The brood and I have walked the mall about five times. Every time we think we are done, Jenny finds something else that she has to try on or buy. She has already bought eight bags worth of clothes. Marissa bought a new tank top, and I bought a couple cool outfits. Laura didn't see anything she liked. The four of us decided to get our eyebrows pierced to have a souvenir of celebrating Laura's 18th birthday. It took us over 20 minutes to convince the worker that I was 15 years old. I still don't think he believed I was 15, but he got tired of arguing with all four of us.

My mother called me, while I was watching Laura get her piercing, to tell me that my father called her pissed off. He wasn't happy that my mother talked with me at the restaurant and never told him about it. I felt bad for getting my mother in trouble, but she never told me not to say anything to him. 

My Father has called me four times since we last spoke. I was deliberately avoiding his calls, to try to have a good time with the brood. When my father started texting me, I got aggravated and shut my phone off. His last text caused me to panic a little

I told you to get to your mothers. I cannot believe how badly you have disobeyed me in the last three days. I am flying out to Ohio tonight. When I get there you and I will be having a serious conversation. You better get to your mothers house immediately 

I am trying to forget about my fathers text, because every time I think about it my stomach hurts again. I felt like I was starting to get nauseous, so Laura and I went to the food court to get a bottled water. The two of us are sitting at the food court waiting for Marissa and Jenny.

Jenny never stops shopping does she?

Nope, she can shops for hours

I figured by now she would own every piece of clothing available in stores

Laura laughs

She would if she could

Marissa comes up to us dragging Jenny behind her.

Sorry it took so long. Jenny found three shirts in three different stores that she had to try on.

Laura rolls her eyes

Come on let's get back to the hut, I am tired of the mall

We all leave the mall and Laura calls for a cab. While we wait for our ride Marissa goes into a liquor store and comes out carrying a brown paper bag.

What do you have?

A little something to enjoy for our last night together.

What is it?

I am not telling. You all need to wait until we get back to the hut.

She wouldn't show us what was in the bag. No matter how many times we asked, she continuously refused to tell us. Jenny even tried stealing the bag from her, but Marissa held onto it to tight. Jenny was trying to peak into the bag when the cab pulled up. We got into the cab which took us to Laura's house. From there we walked down the street, and cut across a field to get to the path leading into the woods. 

As we walked through the woods, I started thinking about how long it would take my father to get to Ohio. Thinking about my dad was a bad idea, because my stomach started hurting a lot. Once we reached the hut, Laura took the bag from Marissa and dumped the items on the couch. 

Are you serious? Laura asked

What? It may be years before Anissa comes back to Ohio, so I figured we should have some fun tonight.

Marissa bought 5 different bottle of liquor. She had rum, vodka, scotch, and two others that I couldn't read the name of.

There is no way I am drinking anymore after feeling like shit this morning
