I fell asleep on the couch instead of my bed. I didn't want to wake up dad last night.
I checked my phone for messages. One from Delaney. I jumped from the couch to read the text.
"Hey sorry! Phone died. Hopefully no harm done :D! "
There was harm done. I sighed of relief and walked to the cupboard. A door from upstairs creaked as footsteps glided down the stairs.
"Jennifer? What are you doing here?"
" Jackel..." I sighed in disappointment.
" I'm Sor-"
"Don't apologize. It's not your fault he's a bitc- a douche bag. " I caught myself.
He chuckled from my lack of cussing.
"Tea? It's grandmas recipe "
Grandma made the best tea. Fresh from her gardens in France. She originated in France but later moved to the USA to marry my granddad and have my dad and uncle. But moved back to France after my grandad and uncle passed in a car accident. God will I never drink. Do harmful things to the innocent. Dad was rambling on about something as I sipped from my tea organizing my future plans and shit.
"Jennifer?!"
"Huh? Oh yeah totally... " I jumped.
I don't even know what I as agreeing to in the first place.
"Jenn. I get it times are tough with Jack..." I zoned out again. Just the subject of Jack makes me nauseous. He's the worst man a mom could marry.
Dad had had a few girlfriends here and there in the past year, but none of his interest. I liked one of his girlfriends Kelly, but left after she got drunk and left him for another man. Sick.
I packed up my stuff into a duffel bag to go see Delaney. I needed her presents. I needed to tell her my thoughts and my wishes. My prayers for her aliveness. If that was even a thing. I just needed to make sure she was alright.
Before walking a foot out the door my phone beeped.
"Better find Delaney quickly .... Before she becomes like Mr. Breakers. Then your next....."
Awe shit not again. Just as my hopes raised they crashed down quickly. Fuck. I needed to find her and fast. I don't need another murder under my watch. Not this time.
