The Past

Chapter 24

Jess pov

Sometimes I wish everything was back to normal. I was back at home, resting on Aiden watching jaiden take his first steps. I heard footsteps behind me so I turned around and seen Jason walking up to me." Hey Jess your uncle says we can take the day off and go to town or something like that." He said trying to remember what he said. I nodded then realized that I'm wanted I can't just walk around town I'll get recognized and arrested. So I went to my room and put on some makeup and dyed my hair pink at the ends and put it in a high ponytail . I walked to the end of the stairs and slid down them. When I got to the end I couldn't stop so I ended up bumping into Jason and we both fell. We looked at each other and started laughing. We had grown closer over the weeks. I had decided to got get a coffee. I walked to the nearest coffee shop because it has the most variety of coffee flavors. I walked up to the counter and ordered a coffee with a hint of vanilla and paid. I sat down at a table near the window. About 2 minutes later I was joined by Jason he had bought a bag of chocolate chip cookies and a slice of cheese cake. I took a sip of my coffee and said" you know too much sugar is bad for you." He rolled his eyes and responded "And caffeine is too." I smirked and said "touché". We were having a regular conversation when Jesse and the rest of the order, the whole order, walked in and sat at the table across from us. I had gotten nervous and I think it was noticeable because Jason had asked what was wrong. When Jesse was ordering he had glance my way and we locked eyes for a moment before I grabbed my coffee and Jason and left the shop.
"Hey, hey, hey what's the rush? It's our day off."he asked trying to catch up with me." I'm not supposed to be noticed, if you remember I am a wanted criminal. I'm not on good terms with the order." I said not slowing my pace or looking at him." Now that you mention it the leader of the order looks a lot like you."he said. I stopped and he bumped into me." That's because he's my twin, my big brother. Jason I'll catch you later I have something to take care of." I say and start walking in the direction of my old home. When I opened the door everything was still in its original place just dusty. I gently drag my finger across the top of the fireplace. I head upstairs to my old room. I looked under my bed and pulled out a box of old pictures of friends and family.As I was looking at a picture of two people I heard the front door close. Then steps came up the stairs and stopped in front of my door. I took out my sword for protection. The opened to reveal Jesse? He comes and sits next to me and picks up the picture I had. Asked him"who are they". He said "they are our parents. While you were away mom and dad got into a huge argument and they got an divorce. That's why we grew up with grandparents." I stared at the  picture and let Jesse's words sink in. "Jess what happened to your hair?" He asked lifting a strand.     " It's not permanent, it washes out." My mind started to wander. I wonder if our parents are alive today? I wonder does our grandparents know what happened to our parents? I pushed those thoughts away and asked a question I have wondered for a long time." How are the boys?" He shrugs his shoulders.
"They're fine.....why were you trying to steal the command block?" I shake my head signaling that I wasn't going to talk. Somehow we went from not talking to arguing to fighting. Our arguing and fighting could be heard from down the block. I pushed him off of me and he hit his back on a corner of my table stand and wept in pain. He tried to get up but couldn't. "Stay down big brother." I say putting my foot onto his chest. He grunted in pain."Jesse?!" It was Lukas and Petra." See ya" then I jumped out the window to my uncles house or castle.
