The Gift

9 Years Later Alexia

"JENNIFER ABIGAIL RICHARDS, GET THE HELL UP YOU PROMISED ME YOU WOULD TAKE YOUR SISTER TO THE MALL!!!" Mama yell sweetly her echo rang through the hall, I never heard Mama yell like that since Grandma Jane's funeral when she found out that aunt Jackie got grandma's Virginian vacation home and her good silver so if she hollers like that she means business. I was already awake writing for my blog, Frankly, I didn't want to go to the mall but Jenna was starting college soon so Mama though I was going to "miss" and wanted us to spend quality time together. She stumbled in my room in disarray and fell on my bed. Her golden locks were a frizzy mess. I lifted my head from my knees and just laid there basking in the sun that warmed my window set and started to type my last few thoughts before returning it into the bookbag that I take everywhere.

She plopped her head up, "Get ready I'll be down in 5 minutes." I nodded and head down stairs into the kitchen where mom was plating is cheddar cheese eggs with caramelized onions and maple wood smoked bacon. I started to eat and mama sat next to me texting till her food was ice cold. Jenna finally came down when and began to stuff her face across of me. 

"What." Jenna groaned. I shook my head

"Hey girls I'm showing a house around 2 pm, so I'm not going to be here for dinner your father is in his office if you need him." She walked into the living after kissing us on the heads. We strolled out to Jenna's graduation gift that rested in the driveway I tried to climb into her 2016 Jeep Wrangler and I could hear the hum of the engine ringing throughout the community. When I graduated all I got was my 5-year-old laptop but technically I was 12 at the time so I understand that.

"Ready to have fun." she smiles as we drove off to the highway. I know now that her version of fun is going to the pretzel stand and hitting on her new prey, this guy is new to from what she usually date which was tall stocky football players this guy which she claims is, "destined soulmate #15 " is tall I'll give him that but he was wimpy and twiggy perfect for the pretzel stand that it feels like she's practically live in the stand already. She turned left on a 4 way stop wiping my head off the ledge of the window I was leaning against.

She turns around quickly, "Is it just me or has this black SUV been following us for the past 15 minutes." Now that she mentioned it, I think it's really ganging upon us. I turned to see it getting closer, it then rammed into the bumper of Jenna's new jeep. Jenna stuck her head out her window, "HEY ASSHOLES BABY ON BOARD!!!"They rammed into the Jeep again only making us swerve into the bus lane over luckily she was able to keep us alive.

"THE FUCK!! SPEED UP AND TURN LEFT INTO THE PARKING GARAGE!" I shouted Jenna was left awestruck with the first time in 9 years hearing it. She was still processing the tone of my voice.

"Got it." We pulled up to the 4th level and ducked down in case they saw us. "who are they?" She asked as she started to dig through her purse.

"I thought you would know, you usually like fucking up those frat parties."I laughed

"True but I haven't been to one since October."

"Maybe it's a warning shot to make sure you're not coming to their party tonight."

She shoved a piece on paper in her pocket, "Come on let's go smart one." I heard a noise and pulled Jenna down with me behind a red minivan. The one guy was Tall than the other one both brown hair and the one guy's eyes were as emerald as mine, both of them looked around Jenna and my age.

"They couldn't have gotten far."The tall guy said

" I can't believe they beat us to them, man your dad is gonna be pissed when he finds out." Green eyes said

"Noah this isn't a game we need to find them before the Deratailians do."

" Right, right but first we should check the mall, girls like shoe's right."
