Ricky and I played footsie under the table while we ate breakfast. It was a strange morning though, Miss Mary usually eats breakfast with us but.....today, she didn't. "Was she not feeling well" I thought to myself. Ricky went upstairs with the boys to get them washed up. I stood beside Miss Mary's door, not letting her see me,.......she was crying. I stepped in front of the door, "Are you alright Miss Mary?" "GET OUT!GET OUT!GET OUT!" I started fast walkin up the stairs until I heard "wa.....wa.....wait Jessie, I'm sorry, come back!" I walked back down stairs and into Miss Mary's room. She had a picture of a woman in her hands. "She was my daughter...Janet" She whispered, that's where she got that name from. I sat down on the bed. "She died two years ago while giving birth to her child. Today he was born.......and when she went walking with Jesus...." "Where's the baby?" I asked. "His father has him, all the way across the world." " I'm so sorry Miss Mary." I hugged her. " Thank you child but there's nothing you need to be sorry about now......run off and get dressed, I need you to run to the store and get some eggs." I ran upstairs to get dressed. "Where are you goin'?" Ricky was standing in the doorway with Todd sleeping on his shoulder. "I'm going to the store for Miss Mary." "Let me put the boys to bed and I'll come with you." Before I could say anything Ricky was already in the other room. On our way to the store the two red headed boys, Matthew and Dylan were on the sidewalk looking at me and Ricky. "Come back for more sweet cheeks?" "Leave her alone!" Ricky shouted. "Who do you think you are!" One of the boys shoved him. I stepped in front of Ricky and said "He's my.......uhhhh....he is my boyfriend!" Ricky smiled from ear to ear. "This creep, is your boyfriend?" "How am I the creep? Now get out of our way!" I looked at them and smirked. On our way home we saw them but they didn't say anything to us. When we got home, I guess Miss Mary was cooking something. The smell was...was...I don't even know. "Ricky......" "What? Are you okay?" "I don't feel so well....." I ran to the bathroom and threw up......a lot..." *knock*knock*knock* "Jessie....are you okay?........Jessie?....JESSIE?!"
