The Self-Harmed

~Home for now~

When we got home the first thing I noticed was the smell.

"Hey!" Mom smiled as we came inside.

She pulled me in for a hug.

"Did your appointment go good?" I asked.

"Yep. Everything's fine."

"Hi guys." I touched her stomach.

"Mom!" Caden grinned.

"Hi!" She hugged him.

"Dinner is done." She gave Jackson a kiss.

"I'm starving." Caden hurried to the dining hall.

Jackson Hurried after him.

"Come on." Mom smiled.

I smiled back and we walked to the dining room arm in arm.

"So," Jackson smiled at us.

Caden and I glanced at each other.

"We want to get married while your home." He said.

"Perfect." Caden said.

"Where?" I asked.

"London." Mom smiled.

"What?" Caden grinned. "We're going back!"

"Just for the week." Jackson said.

"Why London?" I asked.

"It's a lot less money to get my Family there then Jackson's family here." Mom said.

"And London's so pretty." Caden told me.

"Isn't it going to be rainy?" I asked.

Caden and Jackson laughed, and Mom and I looked at each other confused.

"It's usually rainy in London." Jackson explained.

"We can rent that church." Caden said. "The one with the wedding hall attached."

"That's the one." Jackson nodded.

"And you can go shopping for a dress with me Charlie." Mom added.

"Where?" I questioned. "France?"

"Stop." Mom looked at me.

"It just seems like a lot of money." I told her.

"Well you have a lot of money now Charlie." Jackson said.

"No you and Caden do." I said.

"It's your money too Charlie." Jackson said.

"It takes time to get used to." Caden said. "Trust me."

"I feel sick."

"Are you okay?" Mom asked.

"Can I just take a shower and go to bed?"

"But you barely ate." Mom pointed out.

"I'll eat a big breakfast tomorrow."

"I think it's fine." Jackson said.

"Yeah." Caden nodded.

"I promise I'll eat Mom." I told her. "I'm trying to get better."

"Alright." She nodded.

I hugged everyone and went upstairs. I still wasn't used to this. Having Money. I didn't want to lose myself. I took a shower and got into bed.  I was still upset that Clara and Ryder was missing. I didn't even get to talk to Clara before she left. 

Did they leave willingly? Did they kick and scream, like Mr. Pepper had advised us to do? And none of us ever gave one another our phone numbers. What was the use in that? I swear after we graduate we're all living in a huge house together. One big happy family, together forever. Beat, I fell asleep.
