The Help

Chapter Twenty Four

I decided to take a quiz as a few of my oc's and Valerie got this and Jesus I don't think it could be more perfect 😭

I sat up from my spot on the couch to see Lorraine walking towards me with two cups of something (I could only assume it to be coffee at this hellish hour), Ed and Drew were at the dining table where we had set up all the equipment.

Lorraine set the two cups down then playfully threw my legs off of the couch, I smiled and sat up. "Valerie, there is one thing you haven't told us" She started making me smile, "Many things, but continue" I corrected as I grabbed the coffee and took a sip then cringed.

"I forgot you freaks love plain coffee" I choked, Lorraine chuckled. "You're the freak, Odd man out!" Ed corrected.

"What were you saying Lorraine?" I asked as I stood up and walked into the kitchen, I poured some milk into my coffee. "You never told us how you knew you were clairvoyant" Lorraine stated as she sat next to Ed.

I stopped and bit my lip in thought, how did I know?

"How did you know?" I asked Lorraine as I began putting the milk up. Ed gave me a look, maybe looking for something that insisted I didn't want to talk about my past.. he knew and I wish he didn't.

"When I was little I saw an angel in an hospital room" Lorraine stated, Ed grabbed her hand with a smile. "Morbid" I stated as I mixed my coffee.

"I don't think–" "I don't really know. My aunt can tell you the first time she noticed something. But my Dad knew since I was tiny, My Mom too. they told me I'd see or hear things but I must ignore them.. my Dad saw them too" I stopped and my face scrunched up.

"Wait a fucking minute" I stated as I began to think, had my father been clairvoyant?

"You think your Dad was clairvoyant?" Ed asked making me look around, "Hold on a damn minute" I said as I began to think harder.. was.. no.

Was my father clairvoyant? Were the twins clairvoyant?

"How about we change the subject?" Drew said, Ed nodded while I continue to sit in thought. "Is being clairvoyant hereditary?" I asked, as if Lorraine knew the answer.

"I mean, I guess it can be. You said your father sees things.. and I think Judy does something's that make me think but I've never thought into it" Lorraine informed, I assumed she was thinking aloud now.

"Well.. nice to know" Drew said, Lorraine grinned and I felt my face light up, Ed was chuckling while Drew was trying to process what was going on.
"Now Ed can't hide presents from Judy, cause Lorraine always knows" Drew said, still not quite understanding what he said.

"Yeah" I said while I took his hand and smiled at him, then laughed. "What?" He asked, "Nothing" I said before I took a sip of my coffee.

Now it was quiet, the house felt eerie and uncomfortable.. I assumed the talking that we've been doing all night had canceled out the silence.

"Well, we're going to go have ladies talk" Lorraine said making me look at her, "Aw we can have ladies talk" Ed insisted, Lorraine playfully rolled her eyes. "Not exactly" I said with a chuckle.

"Yeah look" Ed said and looked at Drew, he crossed his legs and acted like he flipped his hair, Drew followed in what he did. "Did you see that necklace at the dealers?" Ed asked in a high pitched voice, "Oh yes, it was just gorgeous!" Drew exclaimed, his voice was also higher. This made my snickering become laughing

"Oh, and the matching bracelets!" Ed insisted, "Okay, Okay! You two can stop it" Lorraine said laughing as she sat back down, I followed.

"How was your date last week?" Lorraine asked making me smile. "This lover boy over here spoiled me" I insisted making Drew grin. "Of course I did, and I will as long as we're together" He said.
