Years That Shift

Death

I pushed the falling glasses up higher on my nose and watched for the bags. A hangover and a hyper kid on a plane ride later we arrived back in Pennsylvania.  He saw his Batman suitcase and tugged it off the concise belt. Gosh this was the last place me and Chris were friends. He cut me off and made all of the guys do it to, so its been a good four years since I've seen him and he threw a vase at the door infront of me. I noticed my black suitcase and grabbed it off.  "Wait buddy!" Alex called as he ran after the kid. "We found out about you in that bathroom right there" he pointed out before I slapped his shoulder.  " He wont remember I said this is five years." He grabbed him off and we walked over to get Wolf. I found it rediculious that Alex had to carry a crate with an  80lb dog in it because he wasn't allowed out. I guess lifting hundred pound amps for years wore off.

We walked over to my old car. "God this is an ancient artifact." " It was the car of the year 7 years ago" " I've had it for eight, but what are we going to do about the kid with no carseat?" " Drive very carefully." " You can drive you know the way." " wow arnt we a man." he opened the cage and the dog ran over to the grass and peed while he stuck the cage into the trunk. "Come here" he finished and jumped into the back with my little annoying Angle.

We pulled up to the house that looked alot different. My moms only seen Alex at the wedding two years ago , and was very skeptical because Chris decided it was necessary to tell everyone about what Alex did. So they lost quite a bit of fans and Alex admired to it and being on drugs. My mom seemed to be fine around him the  tough. She didn't call him a woman beater like random people in Walmart. So she also hasn't see Thomas or Tate since then when he could barely walk down the isle.Luckily me getting drunk every other night didn't affect him other than being born three weeks early.

He opened the door and ran up towards the wooden panel with the dog right by his side. I got out and locked the door behind me. Alex placed his arm around my waist and we went up to the door. Tate probably rung the doorbell 200 times but it didn't work noone came. I used my keys to get in and Wolf started sniffing Luna. "Mom?" I called. "No answer." We walked in and I closed the door,  watch him really quick. He nodded and I went to my moms bed room and herd soap operas playing. I knocked before going in. The room was dark and there were hundreds of tissues all over the bed and floor with her watching the TV and one held near her face. "What's wrong?" " Your grandmother died"

I finnaly got her out of the bedroom and onto the couch with Tate cuddled up to her watching Jurassic Park 2. "you know the one from years ago, that insulted us and we drunk her wine." "Oh her" "Yeah, old age 93" " you don't seem soo shooken up." " I hated her"  I added a spoon ful of sugar to the steaming tea and brought it in to her. "The funerals Thursday in Bellingham" "Okay, we should all fly out togeather. " "You're going to take Tom?" "Yeah, he likes planes. I can probably get a flight tommorow through Thursday." "Tuesday?" "Sure, no relax. "

"Ganni guess what? " "What?"She asked  him "Daddy's taking me with him. " "oh really" " Yeah and mommy" " That seems fun,  you gonna be safe" " yes Ganni." " Well, safe boys get candy" "Chocolate" " go check that box" He jumped up and grabbed a candy bar. "Damnit mom" " Let me be a fun Grandma before I turn 50" "you just gonna get uncool?" " Yeah, maybe ill make you a brother so they'll civics more often." " Feel free to have a kid at 47.Not my fault I have  cool job" "im jelous" " I know, im going to drink your wine." "you sure youre not pregnant?" " one time one one time" "Im kidding."

I went back and grabbed a bottle from the wine chiller and poured myself a glass. "You know that skirt makes your ass look nice " he whispered stepping closer.  "Youre trying to bang me in my mom's kitchen with her and our son around an hour after I found out my grandma died." " Make love" he corrected. "You're hilarious" "what if I want another Tate?" I took another sip.  "No." " Wait a little girl, you could put eyeliner on her and make her wear little bat dresses." "Maybe when this one figures out that there's not sharks in the toilet or I feel like not drinking wine for 9 months." "grape juice." "God I hate that stuff." "I hate your underwear. " "Wow someone's pervy." "I have needs" "At 4pm in my moms house." " Fine" he left a kiss on my neck.
