Here We Go | Book One || COMPLETED

Church

"Miss Jennings, you have to get up!" The servant shakes me, I can hear the southern accent in her voice. She is rummaging through my bags and unpacking my things. I wrap myself like a taco in the last warmth of the enormous bed. I almost forget that I'm here in a huge freaking mansion. I groan and get out of bed. I slug across the floor into the bathroom. 

"Is Jamie up?" I ask while brushing my teeth. I take the comb to my bed head and begin to walk out of the bedroom to Jamie's.

"You don't want to wake him" she warns while making my bed, throwing the thick comforter up in the air, like laying down a picnic blanket.

"Please what could go wrong!" I creep into Jamie's room, like a tiger sneaking up on its prey. I'm crouched down, I can see Jamie's ragged breaths and the still of the room only makes the act of pouncing on Jamie and scaring the heebey jeebys out of him more adrenaline pumping.
Ready steady... JUMP!!! I leaped onto Jamie, like a crazy monkey. Until I realize.

He. is. Naked.

We both scream in unison. I fall to the floor and cover my eyes, "Why are you naked!" I pat around the floor trying to make my way to the door. The image of his, thing, still burned into my retinas.

"James where did you put my underwear?" A girl with jet black hair and bright blue eyes walked out of the bathroom, she was attaching a bracelet to her wrist. Her face is surprised like she doesn't know what to do about the current situation but stand there gawking.

"Look, Ruby," Jamie sighed and wrapped a towel around himself "I don't think we are connecting" He puts his hand around her wrist and leads her gently out of the room, his eyes full of crocodile tears.

"Wha- but, but?" I can see the tears forming in her eyes "I thought that" She tries to make excuses for what I assume she thinks is 'A poor performance'. She pleads to say that she'll do better, and she gave up everything for him.

"I get it, but please go" He doesn't 'Get It' he has no emotion, he started to push her out of the room more harshly. Her feet skit the hardwood floors resisting to be kicked out.

"No Jamie please" she begs "I- I love you" Her blue eyes sparkling in a sad puppy kind of way.

"Sweetheart it has to go two ways" he sweetly said, he pushed her out and slams the door.

"James, please, please!" She starts to pull on the door and pound her sobs out "Don't leave me" I hear the housekeeper guide her away, and out. I could hear her sobs from his bedroom. I don't know how to explain how I am feeling, Jamie and I have the same sort of mindset at least I thought we did. I never thought that twelve years would make such a big difference in him.

"You're disgusting, Mom taught us better, but I guess you took after Dad on that one," I say as I get up and walk to my bedroom. I can't believe him and his action.

I heard Jamie say something about the church as I walked out of his bedroom. Church? I have never been to church, I'm not religious but I never really had the time to explain to them anything like that. So I slip on my blue shoulder strap dress, it is soft, with rhinestones in the neckline and wrist. "I didn't know that you were Christian?" Scarlet smiles her red lips and eyes, again seeking approval. I'm not giving her the satisfaction at all. It's only the second day I'm just waiting for her to fuck up.

"Of course not" I walked by her to the car. After church, I am already mentally and physically tired. Dad and Scarlet went out to eat, and it's only Jamie and me here in the house. I run downstairs to get something to drink. I hear laughing in the kitchen I see Jamie with a girl, I can tell she isn't that Ruby girl from this morning. She is wearing a tank top, jeans, with cowgirl boots. She has long hair down to her waist. They are laughing and kissing.

"Oh Jamie, I've missed you" she whined her hands hovering over his body. She is sitting on the counter top with her legs wrapped around him.

"I've missed you too, Mari," He says between kisses. She is running her finger through his hair.

"Let's go upstairs" Mari almost jumps off the countertop at the thought of her own idea. He stops her.

"Mari I can't there is people home" He looks around, I dip behind the corner, and keep listening. I scold myself for being so nosy, but I'm not going to stop anytime soon. I live here too, their business is my business.

"I'll be quiet!" She bargains, I can see the hesitation in his eyes, almost considering, nasty hoe, but he shakes his head.

"Mari, No." He says sternly pulling her hands and legs off of him. She lets out an irritated sigh and starts her way out of the kitchen. "Mari tomorrow," he says, she laughs and blows him a kiss.

I get back upstairs to my room and only moments later I hear the door open and Scarlets heels click their way up the stairs and into my bedroom. I wait for her and her reddish-brown hair to poke into my bedroom for a quick chat. "You are going to school!" She jumps up and down like this is news I actually want to hear. "Hedling's Establishment of Leveled Learning"

"School?" I let out an exasperated sigh, I forgot that I still have that, good thing this is my sophomore year, right? How bad could it be?

Ok so I know this one we shorter than the last, but still. Who do you think Mari is, other than the obvious Jamie's on and off girlfriend.
