Lovers To Be

Chapter 1

I woke up to my annoying alarm tone. I groan but decide to get up ignoring my sleepy state. As soon as I get up I brush my teeth, take a shower, fix my hair and throw on some short shorts and a Batman shirt. I decided to dress up for my first day of college you know?

"Jenn? Breakfast is ready! We have to leave soon!" my mom calls from downstairs. I apply some light make up despite my casual choice of clothing.

"Okay! I'll be there in a sec!" I say as I take one last glance in the mirror. When I open my bedroom door I see my 12 year old brother standing there.

"Can I help you Jake?" I ask him as he looks up at me.

"So you're finally leaving huh? I can take your room now?" he teases as I ruffle his hair and walk downstairs.

"Yeah but if you fuck it up you're sleeping outside," I laugh when we get downstairs.

"Jennifer, you know how I feel about cursing, especially in front of Jake," mom scolds me when we walk in the kitchen.

"I know, I know, sorry," I shrug it off taking a peice of bacon and shoving it in my mouth. Hey, a girl needs her bacon.

"Oh my goodness! I didn't even realize what time it was! We have to leave in half an hour, put your breakfast in a bowl and I'll get your bags. I still can't believe my little girl's going to college!" she rambles on.

"Mom! I'm 18. An adult," I whine but she just smiles and rushes upstairs. I'm going to miss this place. I look over at Jake wiping a tear from his eyes.

"Awwwww! Jakey! Come here and give me a hug little boy," I gush and he chuckles but hugs me tight.

I know he is upset because I have always been there for him. Our father left us when he was 6 and I was 11. He was a drunk and wasn't home often. When he was he would yell at us because of the alcohol in his system. He would say things like we need to stop being stuck up and stupid. We need to look less like a piece of crap and start living. He was just a bad person in general. The day he left he was starting to break things and he slapped all three of us once before stumbling out of the house. We were in a depression for a few days but we recovered after a month or so. Ever since then, Jake has had nightmares and had to sleep in my room. He has always needed me and I love him.

"Okay! Time to go!" my mom comes down the stairs with two suitcases in both hands.

"Yes!" I yell and grab one of my bags. We go outside and my mom makes sure to lock the door. When we put my bags in the trunk of the car, we climb in and start to drive. I grab my phone out of my pocket and listen to some music to drift to sleep for the 4 hour drive ahead. My dreams are filled with the adventures that I may encounter.
