Loss of life

Reunited with Sam!

Chapter 18

"Next question", Jackson says chuckling from the previous questions we answered and asked.

We decided, no, more like I made, Jackson play 20 questions with me. He didn't want to at first, but with my awesome persuasion skills we finally
got to playing it.

"Okay um, what do you think about cursing" I ask smirking.

Jackson looks at me and fake gasps, bringing a hand to his mouth.

"What do you mean? Cursing is a horrible, horrible thing, no one should say that stuff" he says sarcastically.

"Oh really" I say raising my eyebrows.

A genius idea is bubbling at the surface and I can't ignore it. I'm bad.

"Yes really. Potty mouths are disgusting, even the name is. I mean who wants to have a potty mouth hun?" he says sarcastically, and smirking through the whole sentence.

I bite my lip so I can continue the role play thing and proceed with my plan.

"So you wouldn't like it if I just screamed a curse word at the top of my lungs?" I ask smirking.

Jackson's eyes widen and he goes to say something when I open my mouth to say it.

"FU-" I go to scream but Jackson's hand clasps over my mouth firmly making my scream muffle.

"You seriously can't do that around here. It's a SAFE environment for us, I don't want you ruining that" he says, all joking gone from his voice.

I chuckle into his hand as another idea comes to my mind.

I lick his hand and laugh.

"Ewwwww!" Jackson screams, pulling his hand away and wiping it on his shirt.

I burst out into laughter and can barely breathe.

"I was just going to say FUDGE. I don't know what you thought I was gonna say" I say looking at my nails.

"Pft, yeah right"

I laugh and Jackson crinkles his nose at the hand I licked.

"You didn't have to lick me though, that was nasty" Jackson says gagging.

I laugh once again and shake my head.

Yes Jackson, I had to lick your hand.

"Okay, I ask you now" Jackson says.

Oh no.

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

13 questions and 19 minutes later we made it to Jackson's grandmas house.

We walked in and saw Jackson's undead grandpa sitting on a recliner with the tv on and his feet propped up.

Jackson snorts.

"He's accomplished so much in life"

"You can say that again" I say.

We walk into the kitchen and see a happy Grandma and giggly Sammy sitting at the island.

Seeing Sam happy and no tear stained face makes me happy and I can't help but smile.

"Oh Jackson your back, and you too Elena" she says getting up from her seat slowly.

"Yeah we're back, we're late too" Jackson says with a chuckle.

Grandma walks over to us and embraces us with a warm embrace. I return the embrace politely and take a
deep breath.

The past few days have been stressful and I needed to take a good deep breath. I need to relax and let the events of the days sink in.

"Well little Sammy over here was a delight to be around. Do you know he can sing quite well?" she says looking over to Sammy.

"No we didn't" I say with a grin.

"I'm not that good Grandma" Sammy says getting up from his seat with a hop.

We laugh and I walk over to Sammy kneeling down, my knees cracking.

Damn I'm getting old.

"Someone's getting old" Jackson says reading my thoughts. Seriously, I don't know how he knows what I think.

Sammy smiles at me and a smile breaks out on my own face. Sammy makes me feel happy and I love him, he's adorable and a strong kid.

I throw my arms around him and he does the same, wrapping his arms around my neck.

I hug his small frame and rest my head on his shoulder.

I pull away and look into Sammy's eyes. They gleam with pure happiness as he smiles back at me.

"Did you enjoy yourself?" I ask him

"Yes I did. We eat cookie and play games" he says looking at grandma.

"Well I'm glad you had fun" I say poking his tummy earning a squeal from him.

I go to get up when Sammy wraps his arms around my neck and legs around my torso. He's too cute.

I look down at him and he chuckles a childish laugh that fills the room with joy.

"What are you, a monkey" I say laughing.

"Noooo" he says giggling.

I hoist myself up off of the ground, with Sammy still clinging to me.

"I guess you'll be staying their" I say pointing to my tummy.

Sammy nods, tickling my stomach causing me to laugh slightly.

I rest my hands on Sammy so he's being supported and won't slip off my stomach.

"Awe you are too cute" Grandma says looking at me and Sammy.

Sammy smiles and so do I.

"Well we've gotta get going Grandma, Ronnie is expecting us back at his place in a couple"

"Ah yes, Ronnie's a good man" Grandma says nodding at Jackson.

"Thanks for everything, if it wasn't for you I don't know who would've been able to take such good care of Sammy" I say looking at Sammy.

"Oh it's no problem honey" she says.

I smile kindly at her and Jackson motions me over to him. I walk over to him with Sammy on my hip.

"We're gonna go, I love you Grandma" he says kissing hiss grandmas cheek lightly.

"Alright dear, be safe the both of you" she says hugging me and Sammy.

"We will" I say while walking toward the exit.

We wave goodbye and leave the house.
