In Omnia Paratus (AU) - Book 2

Keep me sane

"Jen what noise? Did you hear the car that hit you? Answer me!" Richard shouted at me and I knew he was dying to know the answer. If I heard that car it really was my fault and I'd start getting the blame.

I was sobbing now and all I could get a response to his question was a quick nod. He rushed to my side and wrapped his arms around me as I cried.

"Try and tell me now that it wasn't my fault." I spat.

"God Jen, noise or no noise that accident was not your fault. Someone was speeding and not looking. You were the innocent party." Richard sighed kissing my cheek and holding me.

"You still think I'm the innocent one?" I asked nervously.

"Of course I do." He rubbed my arm comfortingly and kissed my forehead.

Then I looked up and I saw this guy was so incredibly sweet and I couldn't even think why he was still here, putting up with me and not off with some random girl his own age.

I just fell in love with him again in that one look and of course that led to me making out with him. Which then lead to the both of us naked in my bedroom, having comfort sex.

"Why aren't you wearing any clothes?" Violet pushed at my side as she giggled and giggled trying to get me to turn over and talk to her the next morning.

Then I realised why was she even here? They just have gotten back early from the trip, they said they wouldn't be back until late tonight.

"Because I'm hot violet. Please go and see mummy." I groaned.

"But I want a hug. And a hug from Richard." She pouted because I moaned at her and she doesn't like it when I'm mean to her.

"Not right now please violet. Go to mummy and have breakfast." I sighed making sure we were covered up, Richard was still asleep. Or maybe faking it.

"But it's lunchtime." She whined.

"What?" I looked at my phone. It was 1 o'clock. Violet was right it was lunchtime, and I could see why she was so annoyed now. "Hey. You go and help mummy make lunch and I promise Richard and I will get dressed and come down in just a second okay?"

"Okay." Violet nodded and plodded out of the room happily.

"Did you wake Jenna up?" Rachel asked violet she she climbed onto her chair.

"Yeah and Richard." She smiled.

"Richard? Oh yeah." Rachel shrugged she was a bit weirded out by the whole thing, it wasn't her daughter and she thought it was weird she had boyfriends spending the night.

"They're putting clothes on because they were naked." Violet giggled.

"Ah." Rachel said awkwardly and just smiled. "Well, why don't you help me with lunch then?" She tried her best to change the conversation because she really didn't like hearing about it.

- - - - -

"I think you should talk to Jenna or Richard." Rachel said to Dave who wasn't feeling particularly well, which is why they came home so early today.

"Why?" Dave asked sitting up in bed.

"They're having sex and making out all over the house." Rachel shrugged and Dave shivered at the thought.

"I can't ask him to leave." He sighed.

"She's made this mistake before and we do not need another pregnancy when she's going off to university. These next three years are important and if there's anything I can do to help her--" Rachel explained.

"Yes rach, I understand. I'll asked Richard to move on. Remind him of Maisie and it'll put them off." Dave nodded. "But Jenna will do what Jenna wants to do so we have to be careful of that."

"Of course." Rachel nodded. "Maybe I'll chat with her. Woman to woman."

"So I just had the weirdest conversation with your dad..." Richard scoffed walking in to see me reading with Violet before her bedtime.

"Shh she's asleep." I mumbled. "Outside." I pointed towards the door and we went into my room and sat down on the bed. "Go on then?"

"He wants me to leave." Richard nodded.

"Who?"

"Your dad." He moaned.

"My dad? Wants you to leave?" I scoffed thinking this couldn't possibly be true. He wasn't like that when it came to boys.

"Yes Jen, he started rambling on about Maisie..."

"Violet bloody went and told them we had sex last night." I rolled my eyes and smiled slightly. "I'll talk to dad, you do not have to leave, trust me we'll he fine."

"Don't--"

It was too late, I was off. I hopped down the stairs and saw Rachel and dad watching tv together and so I sat opposite in the arm chair and quietly confronted them.

"Why does he have to leave?" I said to them both.

"Jen--" Dad started. "The thing is, we don't think it particularly good for you to be around one another all the time and I don't think we have to remind you of Maisie."

"Trust me, no one has to remind me." I hummed. "I know how to look after myself, we know what protection is."

"I think your dad just saying if you managed to do once, what stops it happened another time." Rachel shrugged.

"Sorry but stop trying to be my mother, my dad has more faith in me right?" I glared at him.

"Well..."

"Dad!"

"She has a point. You got knocked up once! What happens if that happened again? Before university and the whole of your life ahead of you!" Dad moaned.

"Hey, okay I get it but it's Richard..."

"Yes the guy that got you pregnant."

"He's changed, we've changed. God please can I just be an adult! I'm 18 dad you can't control me okay?" I lashed out because I had a tendency to these days. I had a short temper.

"I can whilst you're under this house hold. And there's no more sex here in this house." He yelled at her.

"Actually fuck off." I yelled back and stormed off upstairs. I wasn't usually like this, so rude and horrible but I cant take much more anymore. Richard keeps me sane these days they're trying to take him away.
