Homecoming Pt. 3

Noah 80

Don't get me wrong I loved being around my family and I didn't mind being up in the mountains but there was something about the city that just couldn't be touched. So after a lot of partying, some arguments, some emotional outburst (Aunt Liberty), and my parents acting like two rabbits in heat we were finally back in Texas the first thing I wanted to do when we got back home was go see Jade but my parents being the blockers they were told me it was too late and I had to wait until the morning. Thankfully though both of them would be at work and Cori was over Uncle Cam's so I pretty much would have the house to myself, for the first time in a while. I walked up into the kitchen where my dads were scrambling around and trying to eat at the same time, I sat at the table and watched as they moved like cartoon characters the only time they stopped moving was when dad number one stopped to punch me in the arm.

"Oww what was that for." I said rubbing my arm.

"For going out and getting that damn tattoo......"He said sticking a piece of toast in his mouth. "Noah you know the rules; we're both going to be working late today so nobody is allowed in the house except for people who have a key and Saint." Dad number two looked at dad number one and nodded. "Oh and Noah please don't make me have to fuck you up......" Dad said kissing the top of my head.

"Come on dad...." I said pushing him away. "Look I know the rules and I promise to be on my best behavior." They looked at each other and dad number one ran out leaving me with dad number two.

"Your mom will be over later, she said she wants to talk to you so make sure you're here and Noah, please don't do anything stupid..... you father may say he'll fuck you up but I'll actually do it." He said fixing his tie, I stood up and smirked we were almost the same height but I knew he wasn't bluffing.

"Aight dad have a good day at work, love you" I said hugging him, he gave me a skeptical look and walked out. I peaked out the window until I saw his car driving down the street and ran down to my room and called Saint telling him to come  over, then I called Jade....... yeah I know I'm hard-headed but whatever.

"Wassup Noah?" She asked and for a second I couldn't think straight, her voice was distractedly beautiful.

"Where you at?" I said stupidly. "I meant.... you tryna come over? I'm bored and need company......."

"I can't...... it's not that I don't want to, it's just Monique is coming over and we're going to the mall...... but if you were to show up there I might be willing to sneak off with you for a few minutes." Jade said as I was halfway to my bathroom. An hour later Saint finally showed up and I called my dad to see if I could go to the mall, after a thirty minute lecture he finally agreed and me and Saint went to the mall to meet up with my girl.

"Why didn't you tell me she was with Monique's busted ass....... I can't fuckin stand her, she's always looking at me with her weird ass." Saint complained as we walked into the mall with his bodyguard not too far behind us.

"Saint you might wanna chill on talking about Monique...... who knows when the real her will emerge from her cocoon and you're going to be salty that you didn't give her a chance. Besides she coo for the most part." I said as we walked into the food court where Jade was sitting with Monique and her brother Jose..........

"Wassup Toussaint....... hey Noah." Jade said quietly and I tried my hardest not to blush. "So I was thinking we could see a movie...." Jade said reaching for my hand.

"That's coo with me, I just can't stay for the whole thing..... I'm supposed to meet up with my mom i a couple hours."I said checking my watch. "Why didn't you tell me your crazy ass brother was going to be here?" I asked in her ear.

"Jose is a sweetheart..... don't worry he's probably going to go looking for girls while we're in the movies relax....." She said kissing my cheek, I glanced at Jose who was glaring at me with those hateful eyes of his. We started walking to the theater when Jose pulled me to the side.

"Noah you know how I am about my sister, so if you hurt her I'll hurt you got it?" Jose said quietly. I smirked because even though Jose was bigger than me I was sure I could beat his ass...... though I'm sure I wouldn't win any points with Jade by doing so.

"Jose you know me and Jade have history...... I'm not going to do anything to.... to......." I couldn't speak, I couldn't even think straight because the most beautiful woman I've ever saw walked past us and smiled at me as if she knew who I was.

"Damn......" Jose said and this was probably the only thing we agreed on. "What..... what was I saying?" Jose said shaking his head.

"We were talking about Jade and I'm telling you I'm not going to hurt her......" I said Jose nodded before walking off while I ran to catch up Saint, Jade and Monique, I stopped and turned around and saw that same woman staring at me, she winked before walking away and I stood there confused because now I was sure she knew who I was.

We chilled with the girls for a couple hours before I had Saint drop me off at home, we got there and my mom was in the kitchen making some food. I walked over and kissed her on the cheek and sat at the table wondering what she wanted to talk about. She finished cooking and sat across from me and started eating and I was wondering where my plate was.......

"I'm pregnant Noah, you gotta make your own food." She said stuffing her face. "Your little sister requires me to eat more than usual......"

"It's a boy." I said getting up, walking over to her and putting my hand on her stomach. "Listen here punk..... you ain't even born yet and you're already taking over, I'm letting you know now I'm going to remember this and I swear you better not come to me when our dads lay down the law on you cause I won't protect you." I said and the little punk kicked my hand..... yeah me and this one were not going to get along at all.

"You better stop messing with my baby girl....... sit down I want to talk to you. After I have the baby I'm going back to Pennsylvania and I wanted to know if you wanted to come visit during your school breaks; winter, spring and summer?" She asked and I sat there looking at her.

"Mom...... you don't have to leave Texas at all. I mean why would you want to? This is where your kids are, this is where......." I couldn't finish my statement I had just got her back and now she was leaving again.

"Noah Pittsburgh is my home..... and I get that you love it down here and I'm not asking you to move I'm just asking you to come visit every couple months." She said rubbing my face, I nodded because I was too shocked to speak. "Good now can you hand me that peanut butter?" She said rubbing her stomach. After I watched her eat the entire jar of peanut butter she went home to sleep and I decided to go for a run, I needed to clear my head and think about the fact that my mom was leaving me again......... I could go with her but I couldn't stomach leaving my dads..... or Cori........ or Jade. I was about a mile away from the house when Saint called.

"Ayy I'm about to come over." He said and I told him I was out running. "Well get your ass home....." He said hanging up. I shook my head and turned around, I was a few blocks away from the house when I felt a chill go down my spine. I stopped running and looked around but didn't see anything, something my dad always taught me was to trust my instincts and I couldn't shake the fact that I was being followed. I got to the end of the block when a black Yukon stopped right in front of me, those two dudes Cain and Caleb stepped out and started walking towards me.

"Wassup little cousin? Why don't you let us give you a ride home." Cain said smiling at me, I didn't know what they were planning but taking me home was probably the last thing on their list, fuck I thought as I did the first thing that came to mind I turned around and took off running............................................
