Philophobia

Chapter 10

The next day was a blur of events. As it was the day Abby was going to her Aunt's.

"We need to hurry up so we can leave!" Abby whined, her face forming into a pout.

"Your Aunt is still going to be there when we get there." Justin grunted.

I could tell he was getting annoyed.

"But still!" She sighed, crossing her arms and sitting down.

"Stop the pouting right now or we aren't going at all." I said, my voice taking on a motherly tone.

"Fine..." She muttered and looked away.

I loved my little sister to death but sometimes i just wanted to strangle her.

Justin looked at me, a smirk playing on his lips.

"What?" I said annoyed.

Justin just smiled and shook his head, announcing that it was finally time to hit the road.

--------------------------

"I have to pee!!!" Abby screamed from the backseat.

"Seriously?" I replied. "You just went right before we left the house. You can wait." I said firmly.

"If i don't go pee in the next four minutes then I will pee my pants and get it all over Justin's car!" She stuck her tongue out.

"Oh, hell no!" Justin practically shouted while speeding up to find the nearest gas station. "I am not having some seven year old pee in my precious baby!"

I rolled my eyes but didn't say anything.

We arrived at the gas station and I got out and ushered Abigail quickly inside.

"Hi!" The store clerk chimed, looking up momentarily from whatever was busying her.

"Hi." I smiled kindly and walked towards the restroom sign.

"Make it quick." I sighed, giving Abby a little shove.

She entered the bathroom and I went to look around the store at the food items. I decided to buy peanut butter and chocolate Chex Mix with a Mountain Dew.

Hey, i absolutely love food. No one and nobody is going to stop me from the deep appreciation and respect i have for food.

I paid for my food and went and knocked on the women's restroom door.

"Hurry up!" I said, frustrated.

"Im done!" Abigail said in a sing-song voice.

"Finally." I muttered.

We walked back outside to the black car and quickly hopped in after buckling Abby up.

"Did you take a crap or what?" He asked seriously, looking back at Abby.

Her eyes widened and her face went into a death-glare.

"No."

"Then what took you so long?" He whined. "You guys have been in that store for twenty three minutes!"

"Just go." I sigh.

He shook his head and pulled out of the parking lot and then stopped suddenly because of some wing-bat.

"Are you fucking serious!?" He cursed. Well... More like screamed.

He gave the wing-bat the bird before pulling out onto the main road.

"Someone has some serious road rage." I chuckled, raising my eyebrow at him.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." He said flippantly, trying to hide the dimpled smile.

"Okay." I said sarcastically.

Ten minutes later we pulled into a long gravel driveway, making our way to the log cabin house in front of us.

"This is where your aunt lives?" Justin asked skeptically, squinting his eyes and peering ahead.

"Yeah. She's a bit of an odd ball but I love her just the same." I shrugged, thank god she was my mom's sister and not my dads.

We pulled in front of a garage door and i stepped out and reached for the back door's handle.

As soon as I touched the handle the door flew open and smacked me right in the face.

"Oh!" Abby said, staring at me. "Sorry sissy!" And then she let out an excited squeal and practically ran to the front porch.

Ouch, god dammit.

I rubbed the forming bump on my head and looked at Abby furiously.

There was going to be a big bump on my head in no time.

I stalked towards the door almost growling.

Before I could say anything to Abby the front door swung open. There stood my unique aunt.

She had big turquoise earrings in and her hair was almost black and in a curly and messy bun. She had paint all over her clothes and a paint brush in her right hand. Her eyes were a warm brown.

I smiled at her warmly and she enveloped me into a bear hug.

"My, my." She said, pulling back to look at me. "You've gotten your boobies!" She squealed.

I gulped. right then, thats when my saliva decided to go down the wrong wind pipe.

My eyes bugged and i started coughing.

Justin, on the other hand, was standing by the steps and laughing his ass off.

A few minutes later I gave him my best glare as I tried to re-cooperate from my fit.

"Thanks." I mumbled, crossing my hands over my chest.

Oh my lord, i thought, and she just had to say that in front of Justin! That guy is never going to let me forget about that, that's for sure.
