Until We Meet Again

Chapter Eight : Welcome in.. I think..

Chapter Eight : Welcome in.. I think..

I was on my way home with my Ipod blasting a random song that I didnt even know I had downloaded. I looked up at my drive way and noticed it was one car gone. Probably Mom going to get groceries. When I walked in I noticed that there was some thin missing. "Momma Im home!" i called just to see if she went to work today. "Hey baby! How was your day?" She asked with a specific glow to her that wasn't there this morning. Wait pause- Did she just ask me how my day went? Alright something was up and it wasn't normal. "Im fine, Momma." I said hesitantly. She looked at me from the pot she was nursing over the stove, " Your dad left today. He will probably be back later for the rest of his things" she said cheerfully. "Umm... Okay, I guess" I said looking at her strangly.

I began walking up the stairs to my room.That was way more than weird. But I guess its for the best. At least I wont have to feel like I was apart of a weird family because my parents yell at each other everyday. Now I can leave my earphones on my dresser than killing my eardrums. This meant alot of things. i didn't nessacarily have the 'daddys girl' relationship with my Dad but I also didn't hate him. We had a regualr reltionship i guess. We had discusted this before plenty of times and this didn't settle well with Momma but it was decided that when he did finally move, we would spend every weekend with him and the weeks with Momma. Then like a lightbulb, the idea of Jason being my boyfriend hit me and I raced back down the stairs to the kitcken.

When I got downstairs, Momma was singling a jingle. that itself made me smile. She haden't sung around the house every since they started arguing. They were happy now and that made me happy . When I finally got into the kitchen , the words of her jingle made my smile fall. She was singing about Dad. "Im so excited and I just can't hide it. That retareded douche is finally gone!" She sung and held out the last word.

That really mean. Maybe all of this will fianlly blow over in a couple of hours? I don't know but right now, I needed to talk to her about Jason. "Momma...Mommmaa!" I called but she was so focused on called Daddy out his name, she didn't notice me. At least I hoped this would blow over.Suddenly the doorbell rung. My little brother and little sister didnt come from school for another thirty mintues and not many people stoped by, so this was someone new. "Joy! Could you get that for me?" Momma called from the kitchen.

i walked to the door and let out as loud gasp at who was there. "Why are you here? How did you find out my address?" I whispered. "Uhh can I talk to your mom?" he asked looking around the door frame."Why? She doesn't even know you! What are you trying to say?" I said my voice absentmindedy getting louder. I could hear Momma ask who was it from inside. "Um, Som-" I began but she was at the door before I could finish my sentence. "Hey," she said looling at him intently. "Oh..um.. Hey," he said then he finally looked at Momma. his eyes grew wide and I knew this was going to be a disater waiting to happen. "Um, I need to tell you something" He said. He fiddled wioth his fingers while glancing in between me and Momma. For what seemed like the longest time ever we all just stood there. The tension was really thick and it scared me, not knowing what was going on in Mommas head. "Okay. Come on in." She said which caused me to snap my head towards he now retriving figure.

Jason looked at me and I just shrugged my shoulders. This isn't going to be good, at all. She went into the kitchen and Jason and I sat down in the TV room and waited for her to come back. "If she slaps you til your permantly the legit color of black, I will just say I told you so okay" i said and sat down, hugging the couch pillow closer to me.

Momma walked back in, sat down and stared at Jason for him to began what I would think is a practiced speech. "Um well to start off, I lo-like your daughter" He said and looked back at me and my insides melted again. "Is that so," She excaimed. "Well you do know it is a rule that she isn't allowed to have a boyfriend right?". He looked at me like I was suppose to tell him what to say next I just shrugged my shoulders. I didn't want him to come over here like this in the first place! This is too awkward for me. He sighed, "Yes ma'am. But I really like your daughter and every since the first time we kissed-" He was about to pour his heart out to my Momma just to get me to be his girlfriend and that made my heart clench at that. "KISSED?! YALL KISSED?!" She said standing up starting to pace the floor. She rubed her temples as he explained. "Well, I kissed her and then she told me she wasn't allowed and I told her I would wait for her." He reasoned and at his last sentence, Momma stoped pacing and her hands droped to her hips . She shifted her weiht to one foot as she said; "So i guess you think Im suppose to just let you have permission huh?" She said with so much sarcasm, it was no longer in the safe zone. "I was only hoping ma'am" He said and looked at me
