Claire's Older Sister

Chapter 3 ~ Wales ~

Date : October 2016
Place : Florida , USA & Cairnholm, Wales .

It's been a few months since Abe died. Jacob's parents have put him in therapy where he learned it was a dog that killed him. They said they go for the soft spots first , which I think is a load of bull.

It's currently October 31st , also known as Jacob's birthday . His parents are holding a surprise birthday for him even though he doesn't want it .

It's been about 10 minutes and I feel really bad for Claire. She wanted to come to eat the cake but our aunt said no because of her " peculiarly" or whatever Abe called it .
I'll definitely bring her back some thought .

When I finished daydreaming I heard the front door open and I popped out from my hiding place.

"SUPRISE!" We all yelled at the same time . I walked up to Jake and mouthed "sorry" as we sat down in the couch together .

After Jake opened the presents his parent said that he could choose what ever he want from them. He thanked them and we walked to his room to talk about random stuff.

Soon after his aunt walked in and said " this is from your grandfather" and handed him a book.

~ time skip because y'all know all that jazz ~

We're currently on our way to Cairnholm and my aunt surprisingly let Claire come with us as long as she keeps her hair down.
I always feel bad for her . She's never even had a friend. I'm sure at the home , if it's still there, she will fit in perfectly.

We're on the boat right now and I'm sitting with Claire playing Patty-Cake while in the background I see Jacob yelling at a bird and his dad giving him a look saying " u good bro?" But in adult words .

I giggle a little when Claire gets up and sits on my lap to fall asleep. The poor little girl. Never able to have a normal life , never able to find love because of something so , so ... what the word . Oh . Peculiar .

About an hour later we get to the shore and I carry Claire and her bags onto shore and we head off the the pub/ only hotel on the island called the Priest Hole .

We go into the pub and talk to the owner for a little while until we get our room keys. I take Claire up to our room knowing tomorrow will be a long day.
