Jenna's POV
Ok!
So this really tall dude is standing infront of me. He is really handsome, he looks around six feet tall, rusty blond hair, blue eyes and he looks like he exercises.
He looks down at me then turns to my grandmother and she says something to him. He chuckles, taking my duffle bag and slings it onto his shoulders and take both of my suite cases in both hands and follow my gran. I stand there looking at him.
Gentleman
I run to catch him up. Looking at the ground while asking
"Do you need help? I could carry one of the suite cases?" He chuckles.
"Hi. It's Zack." He walks in front of me and open the door.
"Thanks for helping me." I smile. Although I already gave the impression that I lack social qualities I can still show appreciation and seem friendly to strangers.
"Yes, thanks for helping buddy." Gran said, starting the engine. He smiles and nod his head.
"Anytime miss Beth." He turns his head to me.
"See you around Jenna." He closes the door behind me and walks off.

We are presently infront of the house that I would be spending a long time in. I can't say the rest of my life because I am bound to leave when I'm much older. Also I don't know how long mom and I are going to be staying here.
"So Beth, aren't we going to go in?"
"Yeah, yeah sure sweetheart, it's just that umm..well I know that things are bumpy right now with you and your mom. I promise you that it wouldn't be that bad here. You could make friends and you would have a new school, no dad around. You're going to be fine here right sweetheart." Gran has a half smile on her face. I could see that she is worried over the whole state of affairs.
"Its ok gran. Let me worry about that. I came here to help you and to take care of you, I don't want you to be worried over me and mom's problems. Yes I know you are going to be worried because we're family. But don't beat yourself over the whole situation ok?" Placing a hand over her hand.
"Ok. But what do you mean you have to help me and all that. I am fine. You know I don't like people doing everything for me and act like I'm a charity case." She said, waving a hand in the air.
"Mom said that I have to help you out, take care of you because you're getting old. I know I'm here because of other reasons too apart from helping you out."
"Your mother said I am old? I don't need help. I'm driving my own god damm truck for Christ sakes!" Well my bad. I guess mom will have to deal with the wrath of gran when she gets here. No one dares call my grandmother old.
"Well that's what she said. I'll ask her what she really meant by it ok? Now let's get into that house. We don't want anything slipping out of my mouth and cause a problem." Gran smiled at me.
" yea you're right. But your mom would get a good butt whooping from me." She opens the door and take both suite cases out of the trunk. I smile and take out my duffle bag and we both walk up to the porch.
Wait!
My gran is carrying both suitcases. She asked Zack to help.
Oh grannn.
Please tell me she is not trying to play matchmaking already?
The house is really big and just the way I remembered it. The spacious living room in the center of the house, then there's the kitchen in the room to the left and to the right there's a stair that leads to the top half of the house. That's where all the bedrooms are. We carried all my things to my room. Gran had it remodeled and furnished after we left. It's the same room I use to stay in during my summers here. Although I stopped coming after Jeff got a bit more abusive with mom. He's the one who stopped me from going for summers at gran.
"I'm gonna start unpacking gran. You know, get all settled in." I say while opening my suitcases and duffle bag.
"Yea, sweetheart. I'm gonna be in the kitchen if you need anything, ok?" She said turning and walking out of my room.
"Ok gran."
After unpacking I went down to check for Beth. She was in the kitchen having coffee muttering to herself. I stop at the doorway and study her a bit. She's the same way I remembered her. She is still the funny and jolly person, always have sun kissed rays bouncing off her. She always have this content vibe, never once have I seen her morose or angry. Least she never once was that person around me.
"Hey gran."
"Oh, hey Jen." She turned around and walk to the sink. Placing the cup into the sink she turns around and ask.
"Did you see my cell? I forgot where I put it down." She give me a smile. I let out a slight laugh, sitting at the island on one of the stools.
I still don't get it. Gran doesn't like to be called old, she allows me to say gran though...sometimes Beth. She has a bit of memory loss sometimes. Isn't that a symptom of old age? Maybe not because she's only in her fifties.
"And you said you didn't need help, that you could take care of yourself." She laughs at what I said.
"Did you see it?" She asks.
"Did you leave it in the truck? Because I'm pretty sure you didn't bring it out."
"Oh yea. Hmmm silly me." She moved from the sink heading out the kitchen. I get up too, walking behind her.
"I'll go get it gran." I walk pass her and head to the door.
"Thanks, love."
"ANYTIME GRAN!" I shout and walk to the truck.
As I close the door of the truck I see a black sedan pull into the driveway of the house across the street. I see Zack, the guy who helped me with my luggage come out of the passenger side of the car. The car door opposite of him opens and a tall guy comes out. He looks a bit taller than Zack. About six two in high maybe. He too had brown hair like me but a bit darker, he is well built more than Zack. He has on a dark washed jeans and a black V-neck t-shirt that clings to his body which shows his well toned and sculpted muscles. He has a bright smile on his face while saying something incoherent by me to Zack who too has a big smile implanted on his face.
I am about to walk off when I hear "Jenna. Hey!" I turn around and see Zack waving at me. I smile and wave back. That's when I see the guy next to Zack get all tense. Zack says something to him to which he just nods and walk towards the house slamming the car door.
Zack comes up to me smiling. Just then gran comes out and calls to me saying that she was going to order pizza for dinner. She invites Zack too. We walk up to the front door and I turn around and find the guy from across the street watching me. He looks angry, as he take one last look at me and walk into his house slamming the door behind him. What's with him and slamming doors?
I turn and walk into the house wondering what is his problem.
