Prematurely Adults

Chapter twenty five

Stacey Jensen

It is three days before the school dance, and I don't even have a dress yet. I wasn't going to go but Jacky insisted that I go apparently it is one, experience I can't miss out on. I was embarrassed to tell her that I don't have any money to buy or hire a dress I just agreed to go to the dance. The dance is on a Thursday and the following day half the town will, leave for the long weekend the Monday is a public holiday. Every year this time of the year most of the town think it is prudent, to go away for a few days and this year isn't any different. Jacky's parents are flying to Paris on a business deal and they taking their daughter with to go see the Eiffel tower and shop at all the fashion boutiques. Jacky is very excited she was, squealing when she told me at school and, doing a happy dance. She is, so lucky I wish I could go with, her I don't want, to be at home staring in Nora's frowning face. And listen to her insults and, death threats and cursing my baby to die inside of me.

My sister texted me to inform, me that they not going away for the weekend this year. Dad has a business deal that is keeping him from going anywhere and apparently the people are coming here. The business associates are from Hong Kong and it is one deal dad can, not lose. I wonder what deals he has with Hong Kong business men? I hope dad is not into shady illegal icky shit. And Jamie is not particularly sad of not going away for the weekend dad are throwing her a big yacht end of term party Friday night and she can invite as much people as, she want, I must say dad is pretty generous giving Jamie that much power. I wonder what she did to deserve that kind of gift.

Dammit Nora is loud what, the hell is, she up to in there? Loud rap music are blaring through the walls and windows. I wish I could peep through the window to get a sneak peak but her curtains are drawn and it sounds as if she are rapping along with the artist. Oh my God is that Jay-Z what, the hell! what has gotten in to that crazy woman's head. I guess, she is doing it, to piss Norman of they've been on the rocks the last couple of weeks. And it seems as though things are not improving their fighting are constant and are getting more physical and the insults are getting more personal. I think the honeymoon phase are over and they now only see, each other's true identities. I wish I could see what she is wearing she normally dresses according to her mood and music she listens to I don't know, why she is doing it. Maybe to create effect in her mood and feel the music I wouldn't know.

After an hour I got my wish Norman comes rushing out, the door with a furious pissed off expression on his face and an over night bag thrown over his, shoulder. Nora, are hot on his heels and oh my God! What, the hell is, she wearing? In this cold weather the woman has lost her marbles, she's wearing a high waist denim shorts and there are two holes at, the backside of her butt cheeks. And she's wearing a sports bra, seriously is, she for, real? If I were her I would cover the breasts parts up. Her breasts are hanging it looks like two pieces of old worn ropes maybe her tits are the reason why Norman is running away. She finish, her assemble off with a pair of black five inch, heels which she could barely walk in and a close back pink cap on her head with, her hair spread around her shoulders.

She calls after Norman almost begging him to stop running from her "You're a mad crazy woman! He screech at her sounding like a woman the man looks at his wits end. "Norman can you please come in so we can talk like two adults? Nora sounds annoyed "Adults? Norman laugh, it sound hollow and emotionless "You act like a child" he bellows Nora's face look like she's been slapped "How dare you? Getting angry now "I give you everything you wants I even give you money to support your children" she emphasis on children but making it sound more like a dirty word that's leaving a bitter taste in her mouth "And you call me a child? She stand with one hand on her hip jutting it out as if she is posing for a photo shoot. "I didn't ask you to support my children you did it out of your own free will" he spat at her "Free will? Nora says in disbelief, Norman rolls his eyes casting his face up to the heavens "How many times have you whined in front of me about how bad you feel that you don't have anything to give to your children? And how you can't go empty handed to visit with them, you did your complaining in front of me guilt, tripping me in to giving you money" she sneer at him "I did no such thing! He says in out rage, Nora raise her one eyebrow pulling her face in a way as if in asking "Are you kidding me? "You're such a bitch! Norman spat venomously back spit flying from his mouth "Yeah and this bitch keeps you fed" Nora throws back taking off her one heel and aim for Norman's head which, he expertly side steps "You're a son of a bitch! Nora snarls at Norman he just shake his head laughing a bitter laugh and walk out, the gate. "You can't run from, me! Nora shout after Norman and he just walks on as if he didn't hear her. Nora huffs not paying any attention to me limping in to the house with only one shoe on slamming the door hard. Her other shoe long forgotten laying in the foot path leading up to the porch.
