We forgot to love

chapter 16

Let the fun begin.

Jessica's POV.
earlier that day.

"Mom, since when did u drive slow like this on the highway? " We're currently driving back home from my grandparent's house, and boy am i glad.  Dont get me wrong, i love them both so dearly, its just there us nothing to do at their house.  I mean nothing.  There is no wifi, there is absolutely no shopping malls close by, there isnt even a service station around for a total 15 miles.  All thats there is a feild where we used to keep our horses Abigail and bull.  That was before Abigail past away and bull got sold to a horse racer. 

"Oh stop your complaining, we'll be home in another 3 hours honey. Why dobt you just take a nap till we make a pit stop. "  She always thinks naps will solve everything.  "Fine, but wake me as soon as you pull in the parking lot. " She gives me a small nod and i close my eyes getting comfortable in my seat .

I was awaken by my dad when we finally stopped.  We had pulled into the parking lot of a waffle house. "Wake up princess, we stopped. "He said to me as i began to open my eyes. " Is it me or is it taking us too long to get home,  i mean do we have to go 40 in a 60 speed zone dad?" I assume my question was ammusing to him because he just chuckled and walked away shaking his head.

I stepped out of the car already smelling the delicious smell of bacon. I must really be hungry  because my mouth instantly went to watering up.  "Order what you want and go use the restroom, we're leaving as soon as the food is ready. " My mom says walking into the restaurant.  I nod my head and go place my order, then head to the bathroom. I can already tell this is going to be the best slow ride home ever. All thanks to my food of course.

A few hours later we round the corner of our street and at the end of the road,I can see our house.  It looks so welcoming at this very moment in time.  As we get closer i notice Ray's car is in the drive and her boyfriends car is in front of the yard. Great, we have company. I roll my eyes and look across the street and see a black car parkrd infront of our neighbors house.  I guess they're back.

I grab my bags and head up to my room, hopefully no one is in here so i can take a well deserved rest in my bed.  As i enter my room i notice my bed is made and there is a duffal bag in my desk chair.  I guess someone stayed in here, hopefully it was Brandy and not Jason.  I like him and all, but that would be weird to have my sisters boyfriend staying in my bed.

I put away my bags and climb into bed exhausted fron that long ride.  Ill get in the shower when i get up.

Two hours later i awake feeking welk refreshed and much better. I climb out of bed and head to my shower. I dont bother to grab any clothes i just go and lock my door.  On the way to the door i notice that the duffel bags are gone and there is a note on my vainity. Thanks for letting me crash in your room little one , Brandy.
I continue to the door and lock it.  I head into the shower ready for the relaxing warmth of my hot water and steem.  

About an hour later i exit the shower smeeling of my vanilla body wash and strawberry shampoo and conditioner. I grab a dry towel and wrap my body in it then another for my hair.  I leave the bathrom and head over to my walk-in closet to find something to wear.  I decide on wearing my Grouch pj set and i put my hair in a high pony letting it air dry without being all in my way.

Its about 8o'clock now and im starting to get hungry.  I make my way down stairs to the kitchen and fix me a bowl of Frosted Flakes.  I know its late to be eating cereal, but i dont feel like waiting on anything else to be done. I take my bowl and head to the living room to watch a little television until I get bored.

I was watching tv for about two hours now when i heard a knock on the front door. I hakf expected my dad to come and answer the door but he didnt.  Then the stranger at the door knocked again, only harder this time. I was getting up to answer it when my mom came and got it. I assume its Raylen since she isnt here right now.  "Who is it? " My mother asks, skeep clear in her voice.  There was no answer but whoever it was knocked again, and this time they were beating so loud it woke my dad and he came to investgate.

My dad went to look out the peep hope in the door when the phone begain to ring.   

"Hello, who is it? " I asked, no answer
So again i asked, "who is it? "
All i got out of the line was silence, folllowed by a mans laughter. So i began to panic, i guess my mom noticed and she rushed over taking the phone from my hands.  "Who the fuck is this and what do you want?" My mom yelled into the phone. I dont know what they said to her that made her calm down.  But the next thing i know she got up taking the phone calk into the other room.  Then again someone began beating on the door. 

Thats when i knew my dad had had enough if this silly game of knock knock at our front door and he stormed off into the basement. Tgats when my mon walked back inti the front room with me telling me that it was only Brandy and Jason's dad on the phone checking ob them and that she had called Raylen and told her
