★Loving The Bad Boy★

Just My Luck

Just my luck~ chapter 1

I curled into my bed shoving the covers over my face. Why hadn't I just told my mom I wanted to go to school today? School was just the thing pull me back into reality.

"Sweetie? I'm going to your aunt Carols house." My mom sighed.

"Ok so what do you want me to do?" I shout down the stairs.

"Well since you are choosing to stay home today, I was hoping you would watch Laurie?" She called walking up to my room.

Honesty I just wanted to be alone right now, but I do love my little 4 year old sis.

She silently walked in and sat on the edge of my bed. I studied her petit figure. I thought of how similar we we are to one another, same thin figure and soft brown hair. although my green eyes are from my dad.

"Jessica, I know this has been a really hard time for us, but we have to get through this. Your father would have wanted us to move on." She spoke while stroking my hair.

I don't think people ever really move on. Things may get better, but the pain is always there.

As if reading my mind she replied "Now we will never forget him. He will always and forever be in our hearts. I just know he wouldn't want us dwelling on his death the rest of our lives. After all, it's been 3 years."

Like I said. It gets better. But everyday I still miss him. I miss him taking me to the park before daycare, I miss him taking me to softball practice after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Baby steps Jessica. Baby steps.

"Thanks mom. Don't worry, Laurie and I will be just fine." I assured.

"Good. Now I'm gonna go. Have fun, and take her to the park or something. She's been very hyper this morning." My mom said exiting the room.

I hopped down from my bed and looked in the mirror. My hair was sprawled in big curly wads. My eyes were tired and baggy. Answer me this, why do they call it beauty sleep if you wake up looking like a troll?

"The itsy wintsy spidah went up ta watah spout." Laurie shouted as her footsteps skipped into my room.

"Hey Laurie." I sighed. "What do you wanna do?"

"Play! Park!" She shouted.

"Laurie! You know there's no yelling in the house." I scolded."I'll take you to the park but you need to promise that you will behave."

Man I hated this side of me. The side that always follows the rules and does the right thing. Although it takes a lot to get my bad side out.

"I promise."

It took me almost 10 minutes just to get Laurie into her purple slicker. She refused to wear anything without her Minnie Mouse pin. Although I can't imagine why? She has chewed on the design so much the paint has faded away.

My phone started to buzz in my pocket and when I picked it up I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Of course it was Maddie texting. During class time.

Maddie: umm there's a killer math assignment today, u might wanna come pick it up from school, oh and how's ur yet again another day of?

Jess: rlly Maddie, now ur texting me? I'm taking L to the park. I'll be by soon to pick it up thx :)

Jess: Maddie? Maddie!?!? Dude wtf?

Hmm I wonder why she won't answer? Maddie lives on her phone.

As I slid into my small red car, I couldn't help but groan realizing I need to help Laurie in her car seat. God, those devices are impossible to figure out! You gotta adjust the setting on height, then drag the first seat belt into the middle one, then slide the third belt over the shoulder and make sure the seat is firmly in place then blah blah blah.
