Chapter 22

Parker's P.O.V

"Okay what do you want to do?" I ask Amber.

"Can we watch Mickey Mouse Club House?" she asks back.

"Sure!"

Me and Amber sit down and watch a few episodes of Mickey Mouse Club House until Amber gets up and starts looking for something.

"What are you looking for Amber?"

"My dolly. I don't know where it is?"

"Well where did you have it last?"

"Umm Mommy's car and then I was outside on the swings with it."

"Well why don't we look outside okay!"

She nods and makes the gesture of wanting to be picked up, so I pick her up and head outside. It wasn't outside anywhere so it had to be in Jade's car.

"Hunny I think it might be in your Mom's car so you'll have to wait until she gets back."

"She is back!" she says pointing to a car.

I look over and see Jade sitting in the car and smoking what looks like a joint.

"Oh she is home! How about you go and watch some more TV and I'll go get your doll."

"Okay!"

We go back inside and I set Amber in front of the TV and give her some gold fish.

"I'll be right back."

"Okay!"

I go back outside and walk over to Jade's car and pound on her window, she jumps a little and then looks at me and rolls down her window.

"What are you doing!" I yell.

"Parker I'm sorry I needed it!"

"No you didn't."

"Yes I did I'm so stressed I just needed something to relax me."

"Jade this doesn't have to be the answer to your stress."

"Then what! What else will help! Luke rarely comes home I never get help unless it's from you and I don't want to keep asking you cause I feel bad and I just don't know what else to do!" she starts crying.

"Jade listen first I don't mind taking care of Amber and two you just need a night out no smoking just go out and have fun do something you want to do."

"When?"

"Tonight! And I'll watch Amber."

"Okay that sounds good."

"Alright I'll be back tonight but Jade I seriously don't want you doing this anymore okay."

"Okay."

"Alright I'll see you at six." I give her a hug.

"Okay bye!"
