Jess took a long waif of air, it has been hectic, she felt bad for
leaving the girls in there but she couldn’t wait anymore, the taxi came to an
abrupt stop, she looked out the window and saw that the road is blocked, great,
just what she needed, now she was stuck here, the taxi driver apologized, she
took her luggage out and looked at all the other cars, there, next to another
taxi she noticed the old lady that told them about the house, she thought for a
few seconds and started walking towards her, the lady’s face brightened up as
she saw her coming :
‘‘why
hello there’’
jess smiled and answered:
‘‘hi, are you stuck too? I didn’t expect this one’’
The lady's smile grew as she pointed towards a police
officer "that young man over there told me there was a big accident ahead,
a big truck with another big truck " Jess nodded, with how remote this
road is and all the cars, this will most likely take a while, the discomfort
must have shown on her face as the lady asked "is something wrong?"
Jess thought for a while before answering "well, it's complicated, but I
have nowhere to stay right now" " oh my! " The lady also thought
before finishing "well, feel free to say no, but would you maybe like to
stay at my house Intel this is fixed?"
Becca and Lia had been
in the living room for a while now, Becca was sitting on the sofa starring at
the floor while Lia was pacing around trying to call Jess '' her phone is still
off ! what the hell ? that's just too much !'' she sat next to
Becca '' maybe she's still clos...'' ''you can leave if you want'' Becca
finally spoke , Lia flinched , she slowly turned to look at Becca who
didn't move at all, everything seemed louder then, the clock ticked
louder, the water dripping, the wind against the wooden windows, Lia swallowed
before talking '' what.... What do you mean?'' Becca took a deep breath '' I
mean Jess was right, you can leave if you'd like, if you don't like it here,
and I know you don't, you can go'' the silence between the two girls grew
louder as Lia spoke '' I don't .... what to go...I....I'' in that moment
something clicked inside of Lia, she didn't want to go, she wasn't scared, not
anymore, this house didn't scare her, it intrigued her, it amazed her, it... it
belonged to her '' I don't want to go''
'' welcome in'' the
lady walked Infront of Jess who took it upon herself to close the door, she sat
on the flowery couch '' I’ll bring some cookies and tea and you can tell me
what's wrong'' the lady smiled as she disappeared into the kitchen
