Don't Leave Me Again..

Chapter Two

Waking up in my old room was a little shocking after two years of not being here. Thomas and I got in so late after catching up with everyone that we were exhausted and went to bed. I wake up and pull a pair of shorts from my bag out and put them on, then grabbed socks. I grab my head phones and plug them into my phone. I put them in, turn my playlist on, and walk out of my room.

I walk into the kitchen and pull the door to the fridge and open it to find something to eat or drink, I start to sway my hips to music playing in my ears. I grab a yogurt and the ice coffee that has my name on it.

Thomas must have gone and got coffee. I smile, grabbing the straw next to it. I close the door to the fridge and I close my eyes when my favorite song comes on and sway in a circle when I open my eyes I'm facing the fridge again so I side step out and to get a spoon from the drawer.

I grab a spoon and walk over to the counter by the sink and put my coffee down, I put my straw in and grab the wrapper before walking to the garbage to throw out the lid, I put the spoon in my mouth and open my yogurt.

I spin on my socks walk over to the counter to sit on one of the barstools I stand up bending over the counter to grab my ice coffee I left on the other side I end up pulling my headphones out. I pick them up off the counter to put them back in.

"Ahh, morning or afternoon, I should say." I jump at the voice and drop my headphones. My heart racing, I look up and see Abel sitting on a bar stool at the other end of the counter eating a bagel.

"God you scared the fuck out of me. I didn't even see you. Why are you here so early?" I say to him. I look back to my yogurt and take a bite.

"Darlin it's one in the afternoon. You look good by the way and the way you were swayin your hips." Abel says to me and I roll my eyes

"You sounds like your dad. Don't let Hap hear you talking about her like that." Mom says to Abel and I roll my eyes. She kisses my head and then goes to the fridge, I stand up not hungry anymore I take the spoon out putting it in the sink and go to the garbage to throw my yogurt away, I grab my ice coffee and walk to my room but on my way past Abel I flip off.

----------------------

After getting ready for the day, I pop my head out my door to see if Abel is still here. Mom walks past my door and tells me he's gone. I come out and follow her to the back patio, I sit in the chair next to her.

"I'm happy you're home, sweetheart." Moms says to me before grabbing my hand and squeezing it.

"Me too, Mom." I say, looking at the backyard.

"Honey, you may have moved away, but I know my daughter. What's wrong?" Mom says, looking at me, I look over to her and sigh.

"I'm scarred. I'm going to get trapped here. My career is taking off after failing for a year and a half, and then I had to come home." I say, looking away from her.

"If you don't want to stay after a couple of months, you don't have to. I know you won't get as many gigs here in Charming, but there's still work around here." She says to me and squeezes my hand again. Dad comes out the back door and kisses my head before sitting next to mom.

"Early day at the lot." Dad says, kissing moms hand and then looks at me.

"Little what's wrong?" Dad asks me.

"Hap, don't worry about it." Mom says to him.

"Mom, it's okay. Dad, I'm just worried I'm going to get stuck here." I tell them.

"If you don't want to stay, you don't have to." He says, and mom laughs, then explained that she said the same thing. Tommy comes out the door.

"Hey sorry Grace I went got us coffee, and when I got back, Wendy was here. So we went and did breakfast, then she made me go around Charming to see all the changes. I think she is trying to get me to move back." We all laugh at him and then explain the conversation we just had. He sits next to me and tells me about all the changes while mom and dad listen.

"She misses you, Thomas. Yeah, she's got Abel, but she misses you both being here. Hmm, maybe we'll just trap both of you here." Mom says and winks at us.

"Hap you want a beer?" Mom asks dad. "Oh, don't look at me like that. I was already grabbing you two one." She says to Thomas and I. Dad and I get talking about LA and how work is going.

"Look who I found at the door." Moms says, handing us all a beer. I grab Tommy's hand out of instinct. I do it anytime I get paniced, and he's there. I look up to see Wendy, pops, Tig, and Abel. Abel looks at my hand on Thomas's, and his eyes widen. He lunges towards Tommy and swings on him. Dad jumps up, grabbing me out of the way.

Tommy and Abel are beating the shit out of each other on the grass. I take a sip from my beer, then walk over to Wendy and hug her. I look back at the boys and then dad. He taps Pops shoulder and they walk over to pull them apart.

-----------------

Around eight mom comes in telling me dinners ready, I'm not hungry, so I change into my workout clothes. I'm tying my shoes when mom opens the door.

"A run? Dinners done, though." She says to me, and I shrug my shoulders, telling her I'm not hungry and that I'll eat when I get back. I walk out to see Tommy and Abel's faces are fucked up but they are at least sitting next to each other so I guess that's a start. I put my headphones in and walk out the front door going for a run.

When I got outside and pulled my phone out to go to a different part of my playlist, once I reached the crub, I started running. Thinking to myself about the fight with Thomas and Abel, I did not see them getting into it like that. I figured they would just yell at each other, but to beat the shit out of each other was crazy.
