Secrets

Chapter 3

The ride back was dreadful. The music Harry listened to was horribly loud. I was willing to stop drop and roll out of the car. Even though there wasn't an event of a fire.

"So you wanna watch a movie when we get back?" Gemma questioned.

Harry suddenly slammed on his breaks. "No! Hell No. Im dropping her home."

"What the hell is your problem. Why are you being so irritable?"

"None of your god damn business"

"Harry!?" I shout for all the nasty comments he is giving to his sister.

His face is full of anger, until he looks at me through in the rear view mirror. His anger disappears instantly.

"Sorry for being a dick Gem,"

"Um okay... Whats wrong though?"

"I saw someone at the beach that reminded me of a bad thing so yeah."

"Well what was it"

"Gem, drop it right now."

"Its this house." I point out to Harry because he's not paying attention.

I get in my house and all I hear is screaming from the backyard. Its mom and dad. They are probably fighting over something so little like what they want for dinner. I just try to avoid

them by taking a nice hot shower.

By time I get out, the bickering has simmered down. I get dressed and wrap my hair in a towel and head down stairs for a snack. Mom and dad are sitting at the table with great space between the two of them.

"Good your home jack," my mom said

"Oh no. I am her twin." I joke.

"Sit down with us."

"Is everything okay?"

"We have something to tell you."

By the look on my dads face, I can tell this wasn't good news. It worried me.

"Your dad and I are getting a divorce." She just blurts out like it means nothing to her.

"What!?!"

"Im sorry sweetie."

"Why.. Why is this happening?" I look straight at my dad, as the tear shapes the outline of his face.

"Your mom is no longer interested in me." He confesses.

"Mom! How can you be no longer interested! You have known each other since you were in high school! And you suddenly are no longer interested?" I clearly defend my dad.

"Its not like that."

"Then what mom?"

"I have been seeing someone else."

"This is a joke right?" Is it like april fools or something? This isn't real."

"Im sorry"

I slowly sink into my chair trying to take this all in. I cant grasp it.

"How can you do this to me!"

"Ja--" I cut her off

"How can you do this to dad! Do you even fucking care."

"I do"

"Then show it." I cry to her

"How would you like me to show it."

"Fix it! Make this go away!" I sob uncontrollably.

That was the last thing I said before I ran upstairs. I jumped on to my bed. My chest aced. I Buried my face in the feathered filled pillow to muffle the sound. I lay here panicking, not sure what to do. But I get a hold of my phone.

"Gemma" I cry.

"Omg jackie, are you okay? Whats wrong."

"Can I come over?"

"Yes! Of course, Im on my way home from the mall with my cousin. I will be home soon, 30minutes tops. Go over!"

"Thank you"

"Oh my god I feel awful."

"Ill talk with you later."

Now I have to figure out how to get there. I can't face my mom, she cant drive me. To be honest I can't face my dad at the moment either, just because of what is happening.

I have to walk there. I try to run down the stairs as quick as I can. My dads still sitting at the table. Alone.

Broken-hearted.

Its killing me. I just need to get out of the house. Thankfully her house is only a couple blocks over.

I got there before she did. Which I suspected in a way. I didn't feel like sitting outside. So I knocked at the door. Harry answered.

"Jackie!! Are you okay?" He seems concerned by my tear stained cheeks.
