1. Chapter 1

I drop my bag at the door and announce my arrival. "Guys I'm home". I wonder where my crazy family could be. I knew I been gone for a bit but But the dullness in this house will never change. The home has always been kept after. I knew my grand father was back. I mean mom and my little brother kept up pretty well but I knew my pops work. Just than I heard a bunch of laughs. I slide through the swinging door and see all my family gathered around the kitchen. As usual laughing. "Hey jacks". Says my pops he made an effort to stand up out of his favorite chair in the kitchen. He wasn't that young anymore and neither was his back. "Hey pop". I say bringing him in for a hug. "You little rascal your my height now". He says. My mother wasn't the tallest nor was my dad but pops on the other hand was 6"5. At my age I was about the same. "There's my big boy". My mom says clashing in. "Hey nephew". Uncle Jessie says bring it in to for the famous Family hug that nearly happened nine to ten times average daily. "Your too big". Aunt becky says. "Little man". Says Stephanie walking down the steps joining in. "Hey guys, where's the bunch?". I ask. Everybody finally gives me some breathing space. "Well, your uncle joes outback bringing out a surprise, auntie Michelle's sleeping, toms in bed, and max was pumped to see you but the good old thing called tiredness has got the better of em". I chuckle. "My baby so gown up". Mom says bring me back in and frowning. "Ah it gets harder trust me". Pops says. Mom

Leans to his side. "Hey where's Steve?". I ask mom. Steve was moms husband. "Poor thing, You know he's been working to the dang bone, hey you know he's freaking because he couldn't see you as soon as you got here". She says "well we will have plenty for tomorrow". I say. I really liked Steve, mom married Steve right before my 14th birthday. I was glad he was there for my brothers and me when ever we needed him. "Hey how's College Mr quarterback". Says uncle Jesse with aunt becks at his side. Those two were still in love and inseparable after 34 years. "Pretty good but I'm Beat from that flight". "We should let the boy rest". Pops says. "We need to discuss sleeping boundaries". Says uncle Jesse. "Being we like to keep it tanner style we don't do hotels, so we're all making the best of it for the next two nights". Says pops "yeah which means pretty uncomfortable". Says Stephanie resting her arm on uncle jesse. Just than uncle Joey walks in. "If it isn't the NFLS newest hottest player". He says bring me in. "Hey uncle joe". I say. "You look great dude, and that dang hair". He says I laugh. "You don't look bad yourself Uncle Joey". "you know I do you just don't wanna hurt an old fat mans feeings". He says flapping his hands on his stomach. "It's so crowded even Kimmy is staying at Monas place". Mom says. "How's Kimmy". I ask last time I seen Kimmy gibbler was at her ex husbands funeral, her and Remona were deviated as they should be. It only took one night of street racing and verbal was with a bunch of dudes and he didn't wanna get beat. "She's good, us four are just living life as the wolf pack, we were the she wolf pack but since Steve you know so now it's just the wolf pack". "So arrangements because I'm beat that flight got me, it got delayed about twice I was gonna be here by 5:30

Instead of 10:30". "It's alright bud, here's the low down uncle Joe and steph downstairs, as usual your mom and Steve in their room, Jesse and Becky in their former room that's currently Kimmys bedroom, The boys are in their rooms, your aunt Michelle's sleeping with max, me in mine, sadly we weren't able to move your bed back, so the couch for tonight buddy". He says. "It's all good pops No way I could fit in that bed again". I say. He laughs "well this old mans going to get in bed, tell Steve he's got a whole sub in to oven". He says walking up the steps. "Night pops". I say "night kiddo". "Alright becks looks like we should head up". Jesse says. "Good night everyone". Becky says as her and Jesse go up the stairs. "That's my que, steph ready roomie?". Says uncle joe. "Yep good night señora señors, man I'm hanging out with Remona to much I'm particularly fluent". Says Stephanie following uncle Joey in the basement. Just then it sort of hit. All those memories of Mona. "Honey?". Mom says Looking at me worriedly. "Yeah I'm fine, hey how's Mona?". I ask trying to seem casual. She smiles widely. "She's amazing, she grew to be such a bright girl as I always expected, hey what happened to you to I mean after you left you guys don't even talk". "Time, I guess but where's she at lately". "shes got her own place not far from here near her school, shes so smart my goodness. And so charitable she's donated practically everything Fernando left". She says. "I never doubted her". I say. "Alright honey I'm gonna get on to bed do you want my bed?". She ask. "Nah mom I'm just gonna crash". "Okay hon tomorrow I promise we'll handle your bed situation". "Nigh mom". "Night honey love you". "You too". I say walking to the couch. It amazes me how I barely think of Ramona at times but some times I can't stop. It practically consumes me. I grabbed the blanket from the chair and grabbed a pillow and tried to put my head down. Even how beat i was I couldn't stop thinking about Mona and the memories we've shared over the years. We were fourteen at the time I remember Some kid at at school some asshole was picking on her because she Aced her Spanish test. "Miss Williams have you seen Remona?". I asked my teacher. She was removing the chalk on her broad. "Hello, Jackson um yes I believe she was headed the lady's room?". She says "thanks". I stalked the halls for nearly twenty minutes looking all over for her this was not like her. Finally I Deside to open the door to the lady's room. I could give less of a crap is someone had a problem about it I needed to make sure Mona was okay. I heard cries one that was familiar but rarely heard. "Mona?". I say looked underneath the stalls "Jackson, what do you want in the girls bathroom". She said pretending like she wasn't unset. "Mona what's wrong". I ask knocking on the stall. "I'm fine leave". She says. "Well I missed my last class looking for you". I say. "Go better late than never". "Nah it's fine I'll have another tomorrow and the day after that". I say. "Jackson I'm fine go". "Mona your scaring me what's wrong?". She walks out and doesn't even look at me she walks starlight to the sink slashing her eyes with water. I put my hand on the sink by her. "Last time before I ask all around this dang school". "What's it to you". "Your... Your my friend best friend actually and nobodys gonna messing with you... That's what family does". I say looking at her. "It's nothing I'm just a big baby". She says. "Alrighty I'll just go ask someone".

I say getting ready to walk out. "Jacks". She says pulling my arm and wiping her tears leaning against the wall. I lean with her. I waited for her to answer. "That jerk Brent Gerald is picking on me for my grades in Spanish". She says wiping her tears. "What did he say to you?". I say feeling my blood boil. "That th that I'm a stu...stupid Mexican who's only good at mak making tac tacos and... An.. I.. Should... Wor... Work at at... Tac... Taco Bell". She says crying. I put her head on my shoulder and "shh it's okay Mona, he's just a stupid jealous dick". I say kissing her head. I kiss her hand. "Hey look, he's a stupid ass hole who's jealous because you study and pay attention only thing that asshole pays attention to is his freaking food, if lunch was a grade he'd get a A plus". I say she laughs. "Thank you Jackson, we better get going". I kiss her head "yeah we should". She looks at me and nods her head. "Hey im gonna get my stuff outta my locker I'll meet you outside". She says. "You got it". I say. She walks out and there's my que Brent Gerald is dead. Finally I find him he's hitting the vending machine fat basterd. "Hey fat ass, you like picking on girls?". I ask him. He turns around. "Ah go kiss your Mexican lover, while your at it better have her bring some of those Taco Bell dishes with her maybe i won't out her job in front of the class again". He says laughing. "You piece of shit". "Excuse me loser". "Ah I'm the loser, you know picking on girls because they actually pay attention in school unlike you who only pays attention to food and at what your like seventeen now and still in the 9th grade, you fat pathetic fuck". I say grabbing him by his shirt and lifting him. "Put me down you freak I used to think she's your sister but maybe i smell followers in the attic". He says sticking his tongue out. I hit his head in the Machine. Making him grown. "Ah you basterd you sure do trust those nostrils they never disappointed you yet always lead you to the meals". I say full of range. "Now if I see or hear one fucking word or sense you Around her you wish I'd only bang your head against this damn machine". I say doing it again. Than dropping him. He rubs his neck. "She's a whore, probably blows your twinkly in the girls bathroom, you know your welcome in there". He says laughing. "You mother fucker".' I say and punching him straight in the nose. He screams out. "What the hell Mann whatever I'll stay away from me you and her". He says crying off. One of the teachers show up and took me to the principles office. That day everbody knew not to fuck with Mona. She was mad at me and said she could of handled it on her own. The next night I remember she came in my room claimed in my bed and thanked me for having her back even though I got in trouble I didn't give a Damn who I got in trouble with to make sure she was okay. I wake up and jump out of my sleep to the sound of a blender dazed out of my dreams from the past.

I walk in to the kitchen rubbing my eyes. "What the hell". I say checking my watch it's 4:00 am. I seen my aunt Michelle wide awake in charge of the sound. "Nephew! You got so big". She says rushing over to me. "Hey aunt Michelle, what are you doing up at 4:00 am?". "Ah well I'm still on Paris time nephew, back at home it's late like 10:00 am". She says. "Sorry it's just back in school there's no noise this late unless they still havnt slept". "You got so handsome". She says looking at me. "Look im finish here I'll just head up stairs, sorry handsome we'll catch up tomorrow". She says putting her drink in her cup and rushing up the steps. I shake my head and crash back on to the couch. The memories were haunting me of my secret first and only ever love. It was one we couldn't tell anybody.
