The Mask

CHAPTER 13

Jennifer walked closer to her parents to hug them and they gladly hugged her back. She looked up to meet their eyes.

"I'm sorry I said those horrible things," Jennifer said with teary eyes.

"My daughter, it's ok, your father and I will always forgive you and always remember, we are here for you. Just don't ever talk back to us again, understood?"

"Yes, mom!" Jennifer said with a smile on her face.

After the conversation, Jennifer believed that her parents were telling the truth.

Then they talked about their lives all day. They did not notice that it's already getting dark. Jennifer was about to bid them goodbye until her mom asked her.

"Jennifer, are you going home with us?" Her mother asked.

"Is that even a question? Of course, I will stay with you guys!" Jennifer said while smiling at them.

While they were walking back home Jennifer asked.

"Mom, Dad what kind of house do we live in? Let me guess is it a mansion? Oh, I'm excited!" Jennifer can't contain herself from laughing. "Is it far?"

Trevor and Anna looked at each other, then Trevor answered her, "I'm sorry to disappoint you but we live in a cave."

Silence enveloped the three of them and Jennifer stared at them in shock "I'm sorry if it isn't what you expected." Trevor said while looking down.

"No, it's ok," Jennifer said while waving her hands nervously.

They finally arrived at the cave, Jennifer was surprised, she didn't expect it to be this spacious. Anna and Trevor gave her a tour around the cave, they even showed Jennifer her old bed. They sat and reminisced about what happened in their past lives.

"I'm so happy that I met you guys," Jennifer said while hugging them.

"Me too," Trevor said

They stayed in that cave for many years.

Their family always like to travel. On one of their adventures their daughter, Jennifer suddenly had a severe headache she said "Mom, Dad my head hurts." She cried to her parents. Her vision darkened and she suddenly lost her consciousness.

Her parents were worried because they didn't know what to do since she doesn't get sick very often. Then her parents brought her home to the cave so that they can treat her and give her medicine.

When she woke up she asked her parents

"Mom, Dad what happened?" She asked while yawning

"Jennifer you said your head hurts then suddenly you fainted." Her parents replied. Worry was evident in their faces as they approach her.

"I'm sorry Mom and Dad, did I worry you too much?" she asked sadly.

"It's ok, now go back to sleep so that you can rest." Her parents told her with a smile on their faces.

After that incident, Jennifer often experiences headaches so that her parents got used to it.
