Chapter 2


They did it. They disconnected my dad. He's gone now, and there's nothing I can do about him. Since then, I haven't talked to my mom much. How could she? But I need to let him go. Even if it hurts.

-Two days later-

It was Monday morning. I ran downstairs into the kitchen for breakfast. My mom was making bacon and eggs!

"Good morning," She said to me.

"Good morning," I mumbled.

She put mine in a plate and placed it on the table.

"Have a seat."

I nodded and sat down. I took a bite of my food. I love bacon & eggs!

"So I heard the Wilson's moved out and they sold the house," She said to me trying to start a conversation.

I know my mom. She's trying to make me forget about what she did, what they did to him.

Anyways you're probably wondering who the Wilsons are. The Wilsons were my neighbours ever since I was little. Although I'm not close to them, they were really nice people. They had no children so I guess life here in Riverton got too old for them.

"Oh who are our new neighbours?" I asked curiously.

"You'll see later. I invited them for dinner," She smiled.

"Okay then I got to go. Bye!" I said, cutting the conversation short, and headed outside to my garage.

I unlocked my car and went in. I put in my keys, buckled up and put the car in gear. Today was going be a long day. I sighed internally and turned up the music, pulling out of the driveway. "Gold" by Kiiara started playing.

Gold up in my teeth (gold up in my teeth)

Don't care what you say to me I'mma bite your feelings out. (Gold up in my teeth)

And I missed you in the basement. (Gold up in my teeth)

But your brother was a good substitute for you.

And if you love me, love me but you never let me go.

When the roof was on fire and you never let me know.

Say you're sorry honey but you never really show.

And I could leave the party without ever letting you know. (Without ever letting you know)

Roof is falling let me love me falling i just know.

.........

I hummed the song along the way until I got to school. I exited the car and locked it, walking into the school.

Later on, I met up with Kat and Emma. Their parents had told them the news and being the good friends they are, they wanted to make sure I was okay. We decided to meet up later for frozen yogurt. Cause who doesn't like to eat froyo in a time of need right?

Later on I drove home from school.

"Mom I'm home!" I shouted as I entered the house.

"Oh hey!" She said as she ran downstairs. "The guests will be arriving soon so go freshen up okay?"

"Oh," I paused, "Mom I have plans with the girls. We were going to have froyo."

"You can always go to eat frozen yogurt with your friends. Just tell them you can't go because you already have plans."

"But mom-"

"There are no buts other than the ones you sit on. Now go upstairs and get ready!"

"Ugh fineee." I groaned.

I ran upstairs and took a shower. I found a cute dress in my closet that I've never worn before. It was strappy at the top and it was black. I remember I bought it last week when Emma and I went shopping. She basically begged me to buy it because I looked 'hot' in it. I wouldn't be lying if I said so myself.

I applied my makeup and wore a silver necklace with a diamond on it with a silver bracelet and a ring in my index finger with stud earrings. I fixed my hair up into a neat bun. I found my silver high heels and put them on. Now I'm finished! I took one last look at myself in the mirror and smiled.

I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. Mom was finishing up with the food. She made mashed potatoes with baked chicken! Yum!

"Need any help?" I asked.

"Oh yes. Can you put the mashed potatoes into this bowl for me please? I need to go get ready."

"Okay."

I finished putting everything into the bowl and covered it.

Just then, the bell rang.

"Jessica can you get that please!" Mom shouted.

"Okay!" I shouted back and ran to open the door.

There I saw a woman and a man. "Hello," I greeted.

"Hi. We're the Wallace's. I'm Mary and this is my husband George," The woman said to me.

"Nice to meet you. Please come in."

I let them in and they sat down at the table.

"Our son is a bit late," Mr. Wallace said with a tired look on his face.

"Son?" I asked confused.

"Oh yes. Did I forget to mention we have a son?" Mrs. Wallace said chuckling, "He'll be here soon."

Yay. Finally another guy friend. Ryan was beginning to get bored with us girls. I swear I love that boy to pieces.

Finally Mom came down and joined us. Just as I was going to take my first bite of my mashed potatoes the doorbell rang again.

"Sweetie would you get that please?" asked Mom.

I nodded and got up. It better not be a kid pulling the doorbell prank because no one comes between me and food. They're going to pay dearly for it. What? I'm a savage when it comes to food.

I opened my door once again to be met with a gorgeously handsome face. I froze.

"Hey," He said smiling.

"Who are you?" I snapped.

"Not a good way to greet your guest now is it?"

"You're the Wallace's son?" I asked with my mouth dropping open. Damn he was hot.

He just smirked at me.

"Come in," I said leading the way inside.

I think I'm going to be seeing a lot more of this boy from now on.
