Summer Love: Before the Spark

Chapter 21

Olivia stormed into her room and plopped unto her large bed.

She groaned softly, as she buried her hands in her face and huffed loudly.

The redheads words rang faintly in Olivia's head.

Idiot...

She couldn't believe she had fell blindly into Cassie's trap and now she was stuck.

Olivia briefly glanced at a small envelope on her large desk and sighed faintly. She had no clue as to what she was going to do now because she was swiftly running out of money.

Jesse wordlessly gazed at the grand piano before her and sighed as she pushed back the ebony bench reluctantly.

She wondered what was going on with Olivia... After all Reuben was right. She had been acting really odd lately and seemed to take out everything on Axel.

With a soft breath, Jesse steadily set her hands on the piano slowly and tried playing a simple nursery rhyme.

As her fingers gently hit the keys, her confidence quickly plummeted and her face fell.

She removed her hands and ran her supple fingers through her dark brown hair.

"Ugh," She muttered as she furrowed her brow, "Why did I accept this stupid offer."

She huffed heavily.

"Oh wait," She mumbled bitterly, "To get away from my crazy family."

She groaned in frustration and repressed emotions bubbled deeply within her.

She already knew she was going to make a fool out of herself, but she was willing to do anything to get away from her insensitive brother.

Although, she wondered how she was going to pull this off. It would be a miracle if she could at least hear a note; let alone play a complex song.

Jesse sighed heavily, her dark brown hair falling over her mocha eyes as she bit her bottom lip harshly.

She sniffled and tears began flowing down her face slowly. All she wanted was a loving family, but instead she was left with a dysfunctional family that seemed to only be amazing at being cold hearted and unreasonable.

Her body shook as she took a deep shaky breath and she rubbed her eyes with her warm hands.

"Your really crying Jesse?" James scoffed, a smile curling on his lips, "Your know what mom would do."

Jesse clenched her quivering fist and bit her bottom lip even harsher. James leaned against the door frame, his mischievous smile never leaving his face.

"Ugh...," A shadow cast over James face, "Y'know I don't get why Evelyn loved you."

With the mention of her little sister's name, Jesse quickly stood up and faced her brother.

"Don't mention her," Jesse said quickly, her tone suddenly unwelcoming, "You especially... after everything you did to her you don't deserve to say her name."

James smile disappeared instantly and he rose his brow, clearly unamused.

"And if I do?" He questioned, "It's not like your going to do anything about it after all.. Your the one who killed her not me."

A glare appeared on Jesse's face, but deep down his words were tearing her apart.

"Why don't you just go with mom and leave me alone!" She exclaimed fiercely, "You do everything just to get her approval anyway!"

James heaved his arms over his chest.

"At least I can get all of her attention unlike you," He said spitefully.

At that moment, Jesse lost it.

"I hate you," Jesse screamed as she shoved her brother to the ground, "All you ever do is make my life miserable!"

"It's not my fault your such a  cry baby!" James shouted back.

"Why did I have to end up with a brother like you!?"

"Oh you think your the only one that's disappointed.. I hate you too Jesse!"

Jesse lowered her brows.

"You know what I don't have to take this anymore," Jesse said enraged, as she quickly grabbed the folder on the piano stand and grabbed her backpack.

James glowered and Jesse stormed out of the room before jolting up the stairs.

She hastily began going through her dressers and stuffed clothes into her backpack along with other necessary items.

Her mind was racing and fury that had been waiting to be unleased was finally able to run freely.

She clenched her freehand and clenched her teeth, she was sick of her brother.

She was tired of him being such an arrogant little stuck up. Just because he was on the baseball team he thought he was better than everyone else and she hated that about him.

Within a few mere moments, she slammed her dresser shut and quickly went back down the steps.

She was finally going to kiss this place goodbye... Good riddance to the people that torment her.

Jesse opened the front door and as soon as she did her face fell.

Her fury dissipated as she glanced up with wide eyes.

She knew she was in trouble she knew she was screwed because her mother was back, standing before her and she did not look happy at all.
