(Chapter 5)(his scars, and our home video's)
(B)
I woke the next morning and saw
Jack asleep on the couch. But where was Joy? I asked myself.
(Joy)
B walked into the kitchen, he seemed to be confused as to where I was. Can't tell ya how many times he's forgotten that theres rafters above. I'd climb up there and mess with him from above where he couldn't see me. He stood there going through cabinets . He was looking for breakfast, I smiled. I reached my hand down and barely touched the top of his ear . He then shook his head and scratched his ear . I fought back giggles .
I wrapped my legs around the rafter. I Reached down and did the same light tickle on the back of his neck. He clapped his hand to the back of his neck. I giggled quietly . Then I did it again to that spot just below the back of his neck. He got irritated and thinking his shirt was why he was itching, pulled it off. I rolled my eyes. He just wouldn't turn around. He made himself a bowl of cereal and yawned. As he was eating his cereal, staring out the window; I looked at his back , scars galore, much like Jack's back and arms. I knew the stories to every one of B's scars. I smiled, seeing the scar on his lower back, that one was my favorite; the one that dad had imprinted on him, the first time B had saved me. He told me that he'd take a thousand more if it meant that he could keep me away from dad.
" still amazes me how ya get up there." B said. My face paled, he knew I was up here the whole time. " Morning B". I say.
" morning Joy". He says looking up at me. We looked over at jack.
" he gone wake up".? He asks.
" if I don't wake him, he won't". I say.
He laughed and went back to eating his cereal. I smiled. " hey, can you take me to Sarah's house later, I said I'd spend the night with her tonight. " I say. He looked up at me , " sure". He says.
We kinda lazed around all day then
Brantley got ready to take me to Sarah's . " come on Joy". He says. " coming". I say. And we left.
Jack was gonna hang out with Brantley tonight . I needed to have some time with the girls.
(Jack's p.o.v)
I was looking at home video's that I assume was Brantley's . I would've taken joy but it was a good 40 min drive and Sarah really doesn't like me, we dated once and it ended bad, but she was good friends with joy and I respected that. It was just easier for B to take her. And they needed some time to talk anyway.
I put in one of the videos .
The first thing I see the camera focusing on is Joy, she was sitting at the kitchen table, here at brants,
" B, quit it, I'm trying to eat". She says smiling at the person holding the camera, which was obviously Brantley. She was eating soup.
" baby stop". She whined .
" baby".? I whisper to myself.
I kept watching, " brant stop, ". She swatted at the camera . It hit the floor.
it cut to another scene of them in his bed. He had turned the phone camera so that it was recording them. The only thing she was wearing was his shirt. She smiled. He pulled her on top of him so she was laying her head on his chest.
She looked up at him and kissed his nose. He grinned. " what ya say you let me marry ya"? He asked her. my blood began to boil.
How could he!, I mean yeah it was 2 years ago , but still!.
But I continued to watch. " I don't know, I mean I love you but, I'm not ready to be married". Joy says.
" come on, you'll be away from your dad, we could do whatever we wanted too." He says giving her that evil grin, he always gave me when he had an idea that could get us into trouble.
I growled under my breath. If he hurt her, I swear.
"B,what's that scar from". She asked tracing a scar that was on his chest lightly with her fingertip. Same thing she did to my scars.
" I's playin' with a pocket knife, it was the first one I ever got, when I was 6". He said. She giggled as he ran his fingers over her cartilage piercing on the top of her left ear. It was a thin silver loop, that had three little turquoise beads on it, that matched her eyes; it was the same earring she still wore. He grinned. I watched more video's.
