The Smallest Stackhouse

Chapter five: The Forth Man In The Fire

I got out out of my truck and had Sookie run straight past me to her car. "Sookie?!" I yelled as she drove off I followed her to the house. After I had apologized to her for what happened we started to clean the house. After a while I heard yelling from the kitchen, I knew that Tara and Sookie were yelling at each other.

That night it began to rain so I sat inside with some candles lit and played "Hey Brother" on my acoustic guitar while singing along.

Hey brother! There's an endless road to rediscover

Hey sister! Know the water's sweet but blood is thicker

Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

Hey brother! Do you still believe in one another?

Hey sister! Do you still believe in love? I wonder

Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

What if I'm far from home?

Oh brother, I will hear you call!

What if I lose it all?

Oh sister, I will help you out!

Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

Hey brother! There's an endless road to rediscover

Hey sister! Do you still believe in love? I wonder

Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

What if I'm far from home?

Oh brother, I will hear you call!

What if I lose it all?

Oh sister, I will help you out!

Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

I was so caught up in the music that I didn't even know that Sookie was gone or that it had stopped raining. I heard the door open downstairs knowing it was Sookie because who else would be here at this time of night, so I decided to go to bed. The next afternoon I got up to get ready for work when I got to Merlotte's I put on my apron and started to take orders from the customers. Then Sookie came in the back and talked to Sam I also overheard that Bill was alive.

"Order up!" Terry yelled. Sookie and I went to pick up the orders.

"I thought you said Order up?" Sookie asked.

"I did new girl took 'em." He said.

"New girl?" We asked in unison. Then looked over to a medium sized brunette with tan skin and her hair in a side ponytail.

"Isn't she something?" Asked Jason. After she was done giving out the orders she walked up to us at Jason's side.

"She's with you?" I asked flatly with slight surprise.

"I know you're pissed at me but... I really want you two to like her."

"Sorry about that. You two looked really swamped... and the natives were getting restless so... You're Jason's sisters, right? It's-- I've heard so much about you two." She said shaking our hands.
