"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!" I screamed slamming our bedroom door. "Come on Alice you don't mean that." Hal sighed. He knew he screwed up big this time.
"Her underwear was laying on our bed!" I opened the door back up flying past Hal. "I thought they were yours."
"Does that make this any better?" I growled grabbing a suitcase.
"Baby let's talk this out." He tried to grab my hand but I slammed the door once again. "You can't leave Alice. You have no where to go." Hal mocked. I could just picture his smug smile.
"Watch me." I smiled and stormed out of the house.
~~
Out of all the days I decide to leave it was pouring down rain and I didn't think to drive my perfectly good and warm car. I stopped after about a mile taking in the scenery.
I was standing outside the sunny side trailer park. It looked exactly the same as it did before, tired and run down. My breath was shaky as I clumsily made my way past the trailers.
Each one louder than the other. One family fighting another playing board games. My breath hitched as I stood in front of his trailer. The man I thought was going to be my future...Forsythe Pendleton Jones, or FP.
I gathered my courage and took one step at a time. I had stepped in many peddles before, but this one was determined to make my day as terrible as possible. My clothes scattered all over the place and I was covered in thick mud.
I screamed and laid flat trying to find out where the hell I had gone wrong in life. My eyes slowly closed not being able to help themselves. Being lured to sleep by the sound of rain tapping on the trailer roofs.
~~
I woke up still in the puddle. The rain had stopped and children were playing outside. "Mommy!" The two little kids yelled running in my direction. I looked behind me to see no one.
"What is going on?" I whispered hugging the children back. "Are you ok?" A little boy asked. He was around the age of six or seven if I would guess. "I'm fine." I sighed. "Are you sure mommy. You hits your head." The little girl had tears in her eyes as she pet my hair.
"I promise, I'm fine." I shook my head trying to snap out of...I suppose a dream. "Babe." I looked up to see FP running toward me. "You ok?" He chuckled and held his hand out. I took it deciding to play along. "I'm ok. Really." I smiled as his arm wrapped around my waist.
I had to be dreaming. The only time I ever saw this was when I was dreaming. "Charles take your sister and play in the yard. Don't talk to anyone you don't know." Charles nodded his head and lead the younger girl away.
"And how about we get you cleaned up?" He smirked and kissed my cheek.
This can't be bad right. I can play along until I wake up.
When we got inside the trailer I looked around to see a home...a happy home. "How hard did you fall?" FP chuckled turning the water on. It was the exact trailer he had when we were kids. "Not to hard, enough to get dirty." I chuckled taking off my shoes.
"Well don't be so shy now. It's not like I haven't seen you before...many times." He winked and I slapped at his shoulder. "Maybe I just want to tease you." I bit my lip. "I think...we should...lock the door." FP whispered backing me into the door.
"I think that's smart." I winked an lifted his shirt up. God I haven't seen his body in ages. "Your staring."
"Your...sexy." I smiled and ran my hands up and down his arms. "You need to be cleaned Mrs. Jones." He whispered taking off my mud filled clothes. "I may need a little help scrubbing." I smiled to myself knowing I'm diving him completely insane.
After the shower I changed into one of FP's t-shirts and some underwear. "Your going to wear that in front of the kids?" His eyebrow raised. "Maybe I'll put in some shorts." I chuckled and slipped on a pair of sleep shorts.
"Kids time to come in!" FP yelled and the two came running in. "Your a mess." I gasped smiling at the mud prints leading into the bathroom.
"Mommy I needs help." The girl whined. "Hold on Jelly she will be here in a minute." Charles sighed and hopped in the shower. I quickly went into the bathroom and took a wash cloth to her. "This will help until your brother is out." I smiled and covered her face in kisses.
She looked just like FP, but with my eyes. "I'm done." Charles smiled peaking his head out. "Here's a towel." FP held out a fresh warm one from the dryer. "Thanks." He mumbled and passed all of us and to his room.
"Are you ready to get clean missy?" I raised my eyebrow and she giggled. FP drew her a bath and sat with me as I washed her off. "I love you." I smiled and looked up at FP. "I love you too baby." FP chuckled out my randomness. "I done mamma." Jellybean grinned and FP handed me a towel.
"Alright mamma is going to get you dressed while I get you milk." FP kissed her head. "Which ones?" I asked pulling out her princess and Nemo pajamas. She thought hard for a second before choosing the Nemo's.
"Already tucked in and ready for milk?" FP peaked his head into the door. JB nodded eagerly and reached for her drink. "Alright princess lets say goodnight." FP whispered and started to gently sing 'butterfly fly away'. FP's cousin was obsessed with Hannah Montana when we were young.
She started humming along. Her voice wavering off as she snuggled closer to her blankets. I was in awe watching the two. He kissed her head and stood so I could do the same.
"And she's out." He chuckled and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. "I'm going to check on Charles and I'll be in." I kissed his cheek and went into the small room.
"Goodnight baby." I whispered and kissed his forehead. I couldn't help but look a little longer at my baby. He is so beautiful. A tear slipped down my cheek, but quickly wiped it away and enjoyed the moment.
"I'm so tired." FP yawned pulling the duvet back. "I agree." I yawned with him climbing onto the cold sheets. I shivered and felt FP's arms wrap around me. "Come here." He chuckled as I entangled myself with him.
"I love you." I whispered and looked up at him. "And I love you the most." He smiled and kissed my softly. I didn't want to fall asleep. I wanted to stay here forever...but all good things come to an end.
~~
"Alice, alice." Hal was shaking my arm. I opened my eyes groaning. I was in the hospital. "Why am I here?" I asked confused. The last thing I remember was being at the trailer park. "You fell and hit your head." Hal sighed and took my hand.
I laid back trying to remember. I was asleep in FP's bed. I was with my family. "It was all a dream." I whispered and felt tears in my eyes.
"What honey?" Hal looked up and I shook my head dismissing him.
I wanted to go back to bed...back to my family.
