The Christmas Eve Secret

Chapter 5

I had spent the night editing the pictures until Jake made me come to bed and I just brought my laptop with me and he just took it from me and put it on the side table and made me lay down so i did after mumbling a few cuss words at him thinking he could not hear them but he had he just said "good night lily I love you and those pictures can wait tomorrow". Soon I fell asleep with Jake rubbing my arms until his breathing was peaceful. We woke up too gram yelling for us too get up and we got dressed jake in the bathroom and me in my closet that day I decided to wear my leather pants with a red tank top and black leather jacket and a pair of black wedge boots that stopped at my knee and I then loaded up my weapons and did my hair like Elsa's from frozen since my cousins loved the movie frozen we watched it every day too where they know the words too every song by heart. When I exited my closet after putting on my make up Jake was coming out of the bathroom putting on a white t-shirt that hugged him like a second layer of skin I looked at him from the doorway of the closet as he put on his leather jacket and he caught me looking at him he smiled "come on let's go down and eat" I smiled back and let him lead the way after I put on a beanie hat that was black also.

We sat and I only had ate a bite of waffles until gram glared at me to take on my hat when I did my little cousins had a fit and begged me to do there hair the same after we eat we all laughed. When we finally left the house for school I got on my bike and I saw mom get into her truck that I kept in good shape and drove it when I felt like it and dad got into his truck too and they meet us at school. "What's the matter are we in trouble with the principle or a teacher?" I asked since I saw the principle coming out of school towards us with an unreadable look on his face and in his eyes his pastor gave no evidence of what was going on "he called and asked for someone to meet him" mom answered as she looked at my face as if too see why I suddenly had my glock out since I noticed the way he walked he had no limp and Mr. McGee does since he was injured in the marines and had a brace on his left leg. The others followed my lead and I took my mother's hand as I slipped her her old gun that i kept for safekeeping when i thought she was dead and her knife and amo.

When he came near I noticed he had a tattoo coming up his neck and then I froze then I ran towards him and knocked him down when I saw him pulling out a gun others ran towards me confused until I took of the mask he was wearing and the gray streaked wig and removed his sunglasses and opened up his shirt to show his tats. It was my dead uncle who was about ten when i was born and he went missing shortly after. He had a tattoo that all my family members that are old enough and young get since it was started by my older uncles they all got a crescent moon with guns behind it on there arms and that was where he had his and the tat i saw coming out if his shirt was actually a scar that was pink and je had something i did not expect too see on one of my family members but me it was a bomb bracelet. I looked up at every one "well that was not what I expected too find on anyone in my family but my mom get bomber it should be under my seat" she nodded and everyone looked surprised that I didn't go get the one thing I will never let anyone touch and I yelled "be careful it will explode it you don't pick it up by the handle while holding down that crescent moon mark" that made everyone stare at me like I was crazy but i didn't notice I was too busy trying not to get me and my uncle blown up since I accidentally slide my hand between his and the bracelet somehow and i noticed that it tightened up somehow and I looked around till I saw a van for the maintenance crew and that the guy on the lawnmower was watching us and had something in his hands and I saw my wolf friend i call night keeper and I signaled him to attack and he did and the man went down.

Night keeper brought me the controller for the bomb and I snickered it was one my father made and I knew how to get out of them even if they had been modified if they had I already got out of it. Soon mom came back with Bomber and I set to work in 10.2 seconds I had my hand free and my uncles free just in time to he was waking up. When he did my mom was beside him and I was too looking at him with dad in front of him and he seemed confused on where he was until I answered "your at the high school at your home town josh for a guy 3 years older than me tomorrow you sure are slow minded" he looked startled until I removed my hat and smiled as i shook out my old stuffed rabbit he had gotten me before he disappeared then he said "well lily you look just like your mom can't believe i missed sixteen years of your life" "well mom and dad missed 15 well mom did dad just stalked me and you missed 15 for your nephew Jackson or did you know about him?" he nodded sheepishly and I glared at my brother "you're telling me you knew he was alive?" he nodded then I pushed both of them in the chest "next time don't keep anything away from me haven't you learned Jackson that keeping things away from me is a lot worse than telling me" I heard someone say amen and everyone was startled and looked too who said that it was a man in a black trench coat worn black cowboy boots and a black stetson and a gun he was leaning against a car filling his gun's barrel up with bullets "who are you Mr.Amen will loading a gun up around a family who loves guns and even the three year old can shoot straight" he looked at me and smiled I was suddenly chucked into my memories as a child and up until bill my best friend disappeared at the last game of the season and year and the school had lost because their star quarterback was missing and there head cheerleader had no idea where her friend was.
