The Trials of Loving Her

When you cry I Cry Chapter 23

Another day came and it started out like all the other days, with a beautiful morning. I awoke early in the morning trembling; I looked over to Sera to find her sound asleep with the entire sheet covering her. I removed the sheets slowly, kissing her legs as I headed toward her stomach and chest. She began smiling as she pushed me away while grabbing onto the blanket.

"Nice try, mister," she whispered while covering her head.

"Do you wanna?" I asked tickling her through the thick covers.

"No," she said laughing, removing the blanket from over her head. "I'm trying to sleep, Jace."

"Okay," I said leaving her alone. "Just remember when you're in the mood and you're craving my company, I won't comply."

"If that's what you want," she responded while she went back to sleep.

Not even five minutes later, I heard the doorbell being rung. It was ten minutes to six when I checked my phone. Sera got up along with me as we listened to the bell ring for the seventh time. She was still wearing my boxers when she followed me down the stairs, along with my black t-shirt that was a bit oversized for her. She picked up a vase and she raised it in the air while I stretched my hand to open the door.

"What are you doing?" I asked her.

"It could be someone creepy," she suggested. "We never have visitors."

"I love you so much right now," I whispered to her. I gave her a quick kiss before opening up the door. Sera stepped in front of me as the door opened up. When she saw it was just a teenage girl dressed all in black, she exhaled and placed the vase back down from where she found it. The girl seemed fourteen and she had this long, thick brown hair that ran all the way down her back. She had big brown eyes along with a scared look across her face.

"Can I help you?" I asked.

"Are you Jason Harrison?" she asked.

"Yeah," I told her.

"Thank God I found you," she said hugging me while Sera stood behind folding her arms.

"I'm gonna kill you if this is what I think it is," Sera replied while I gently unwrapped the girl's hands from around me.

"Calm down cray-cray," I told her.

"I know you don't know me," the girl responded. "My name is Lucy Harrison," she confessed. "I'm you're little sister."

"Thank God," Sera said aloud as she placed her hands towards her heart. "I was about to murder him."

We sat her down in the living room, and waited for my mom and sister to arrive, which Lucy requested I do. After Sera made coffee and tea, we sat with her as she ate a ham sandwich of my making while she drank the tea mild. She ate as if she hadn't seen food for quite some time. Sera held my hand as she leaned up against me, sipping her coffee. My mom and Jessie arrived twenty minutes afterward. They stood by the entrance of the living room while I greeted them. Lucy sat and watched some chick flick, where the girls were fighting amongst themselves to be Prom Queen. Sera sat there laughing with her while I wished I had never seen it.

"Why is she here?" Jessie asked while mom just looked on.

"She wouldn't say," I replied. "She said she would tell everyone together."

"It can't be good if she came here all alone," my mom told us.

"I can't believe that's our baby sister right there," I said staring toward her.

"She's no sister of mine," said Jessie. "You and I have no father."

"We should find out what's really going on," my mom said entering the room. "Hello sweetie," she began. "How are you?"
