Escape to Cali

Chapter Three .

I went back into the kitchen to make breakfast. I started dancing like a fool. I didn’t even realize that everyone was still there.I was in to good of a mood to care. I just kept dancing like a fool. I know they were watching me. Soon I got the pancakes, eggs, and bacon done. I pulled down some plates and cups. I went to fridge and got the milk and orange juice. I set everything on the table. The boys go for the food and I clear my throat.

“You can’t get any food until we pray. Who’s turn it is?” I said and sat down.

“I think it is your turn Chels.” Eva said with a smile.

“Okay.” I said.We all joined hands and I started out prayer.

“Dear Lord, We ask you to bless the food that was prepared for us. We would like to say thank you for all the opportunities you have given us. I would like to say thanks for allowing Little D to be able to come live with us, and for any other blessing you have given us. In Holy name we pray. Amen.” I said with a smile.

“Wait. What? You mean Little D will be living with us?” Isabella asked.

“Yeah! I got it cleared with Darrius’ parents. I’m leaving this weekend. Anyone want to come with?” I asked with a big smile.

“I love that little man.” Kayla said.

“I know. I would love to go with you, but I have college to start.” Katara said.

“ We all start tomorrow,Kat. Everyone except Chelsea.” Jordan said a little disappointed.

“That is not the only good news. Well there is some bad news, but it ends up good. I’m going to tell you the bad news first. Ready?” I said. Everyone nodded including the guys.

“Okay. Well as you know my aunt got into a car accident a few years ago and died instantly. Well my uncle decided he couldn’t take it anymore and committed suicide. Madi said she only want me, so she is coming to live with us.” I started smiling again. Jordan let a scream.

“That’s not all. Hailey Studivan is coming to live with us. They will both be coming back with me.” I said. Now all the girls let out a scream. We were all eating and talking about what we are going to do when they get here. I completely forgot about the guys being here until Khan cleared his throat.

“Do you still want someone to come with you, Chelsea?” He asked.

“Um… Yeah.” I said. “Our flight is at 2 in the morning Friday. It’s a five hour flight and I want to come right back. I don’t want Darrius throwing a fit.” I told him.

“That’s fine. Can I just stay the night then?” He asked. All the girl were staring at me. I knew they could tell I liked him.

“Yeah! That would be great.” Jaggar said. I gave him a funny look. We finished our breakfast and I did the dishes. It was only Wednesday, but I still wanted to have everything ready.

I picked out out pair of dark jeans that had some gold lace on the pockets and a light blue/green sweater and a scarf to match. It only took me ten minutes, but it felt like five hours. I really need to do something. I laid on my bed staring at my ugly white walls. That’s it. I could repaint my room. I ran down stairs with a big smile on my face. I ran into Nate and Jackson.

“Wow! Slow down there speedy.” Joseph said.

“Where are the girls and Jaggar?” I asked a little breathless.

“They went to the beach. They told Nate, Jackson, Joseph and I to stay here and wait for you to come out of your room.” Khan said.

“Do you guys want to help me paint my room? I need to do something to get my mind off of everything happening.” I said. If I keep thinking about Darruis not letting D come live with me then I will think about everything that happened afterwards. I can’t let myself go back into that horrible place.

“Chelsea? Are you okay?” Nate asked me.

“How about you guys go to the beach and I will stay with Chelsea and help her. I know you guys are just dieing to see the girl in their bikinis.” Khan said. All the guys agreed and left. Khan lead me to my car. I threw him the keys. I had no idea where I was suppose to go.

“Chelsea? Are you okay? You seem a little distant.” Khan said. I almost started crying. I feel comfortable with Khan, but I don’t know if I can trust him with my problems. I just blurted everything out.

“I would always run away from my problems. I wouldn’t face them. That’s one of the main reason i moved out here. Ever since I got here I seem to have to face them more. I want to run away from them again, but I couldn’t risk hurting everyone I care about again. I just wish someone would be able to feel my pain and understand. When I get mad I push everyone away until i’m not longer mad, but what I really want is for someone to just sit there with me.” I gasped. Did I really tell him everything?
