from the start

chapter 13: Jake

She was finally off my property.
For someone who couldn't stay committed to her children she was damn persistent.
She came by the house every single day but lucky for me Autumn was never around. I had made Kai keep her out of the house most of the time, I also tried staying out of the house.
"how about we go out for a picnic or something to get your mind off it all"Avery's thick honey like voice said through the phone. I was ranting to her abouts Skye.
"Why not. Do you have a place in mind?" I sighed talking of my apron. I just finished baking cookies. I stress bake you can't blame me.
"As a matter of fact I do"Avery said excited, something tells me she had been planning this.she gave me the address and time then hung up.
I freaking love that girl. She came into my life and became my life.
Her blonde hair reminded me of summer, pink lips of tulips and green eyes of nature.
I saw home in those eyes and joy in her smile,even if I set my whole world on fire I would never let the flames touch her, never.
I was out the door in the unknown location. A beach, a beautiful beach with a beautiful girl standing in the middle of it smiling so happily at me. I liked her smile but I loved it so much more when I was the reason for it.
She was running.
"Hello pretty boy." She jumped and landed in my arms. Nothing in this entire world could make to talk about my problems today, all I wanted to do was stay with her.
"Hello mama"I said gazing into those green eyes." A picnic I see" I said nudging my head to the picnic set up.
"You guessed right pretty boy" she said. I was still lifting her up from the ground and this was her only chance to play with my hair.
...
She sat down laying out the food options we had. She also loved cooking and she was damn good at it.
"Ahh"she said lifting a cake to my mouth so I could take a bite.
"Delicious" I lied she was more of a chef than a baker.she took a bite herself
"You liar" she said gently pushing my shoulder back. "So how are you feeling? You wanna talk about it?" She said looking at me with pity. On a normal I would have hated if people looked at me with pity especially when it was one of my phases,but she was different I could hang myself over and over again just to get her to look at me.
I really did not want to talk to her about it. It would damping the mood, I inched closer to her looking at her lips to give her the memo that I was not going to talk about it any time soon.
"No you aren't gonna get away from t-"she said but was cut off when my lips covered hers.
She pulled away just enough for her to speak. "You have to talk about it Ja-" stopped again. But after a few seconds I pulled away
"Please, don't make me. You told me to came her to distract my mind. I would tell you more when i am ready. Mama, I am sorry". I leaned back and bushed Avery close we to me. We sat for hours talking about everything under the sun except my mother,Skye. Then just like that the beautiful moment was over, my phone rang
"Hello"it was Kai
"Your mom, I mean Skye is speaking to Autumn. Autumn doesn't look happy. Come quick". Kai said what he had to say and ended the call. I told Kai never to call that woman my mother and it instead refer to her with her given name.
"What's wrong?"Avery asked putting a hand on my chest.
"It's Skye, she met Autumn" I said getting up and helping Avery do the same." You wanna come? I asked Avery. I knew if she did not come now I would never be able to tell her about my mom.
"Okay but are you sure?" She asked, I smiled and helped her into the car.
