Story set in season 8 between episode 8 and 9. It is a story about Lisa and Jack visiting Lisa's sister. Her name and other details about her I have used from the heartland book "Come what may". I thought it would be nice to explore more about Lisa's sister (Ben's mum). It is also going to be about Lisa and Jack themselves and their relation ship.
Somewhere in Canada there was a car on the road. It was Lisa's. It was somewhere on the highway. It were Lisa and Jack who where on their way to Edmonton. They where going to visit Lisa's sister, who lived there. They had left Heartland an hour ago. And off course Jack was driving. Until now they had been silent as it was early in the morning.
The last couple days had been really busy. Especially for Lisa. They hadn't seen each other for over a week while they where both home. Usually they tried to be together as much as possible unless Lisa was in France. But last week there wasn't time to squish in some time together. This was one of the reasons Lisa was really looking forward to this trip. She was also happy she was going to see her sister Judy again. It had been to long since last time, which was almost a year ago when Judy had visited her in France back than. But that was the last time they saw each other. They called sometimes, but not very often. However Lisa missed her. Edmonton is not next-door and although it is not the other side of Canada, there just was not enough time for a three and a half hours drive. And not only Lisa was busy, but Judy was to, Lisa knew. She was a lawyer who was pretty much always working. Too much in Lisa's opinion. She had never even met Jack in all those years. So the Judy called last month, Lisa had decided that it was time for a visit. I wasn't easy to plan, but she and Jack managed to get some free time. They where going to stay there for two nights. Three days she could spend with Jack before she had to go on a business trip to Europe for a few weeks.
They had left at six o'clock this morning. It was around seven now. While Jack drove, Lisa felt almost asleep, but she tried to keep her eyes open, which she failed at now and then. Normally she won't be as sleepy as she was now, but since the last days where pretty hectic, she was a bit tired. With one eye open she watched Jack. He was really focused on the road and he was humming along with the radio. Wake up Lisa, she thought to herself and she putted herself more straight in the seat. "Ow Jack, why can't I stay awake?", she said. "Lise, you can sleep if you want. We still have a couple hours to go." Jack said. At least before we are near Edmonton. Because Jack had never been to Lisa's sister and he had refused to use a navigation system, Lisa had to tell Jack the right way to Judy's house. But he knew the way to Edmonton generally. So Lisa wasn't needed for that right now. "Yes, but it must be boring for you!" Lisa agued. Don't worry about me Lise!
After some time Lisa started talking again. "It has been so long since I have been there." "Why haven't you", Jack asked curiously. "You don't know my sister. She is very busy. She is always working. And even after her divorce it got worse. But she managed to get some days off. Almost a miracle", she laughed. "She also never visited me. She might grew up on a horse ranch, but you can't notice it on her. She turned out to be a real city person" And Ben, how is he doing?" Ben was working at Heartland a long time ago. At the time he was living with Lisa and she had asked if he could stay at Heartland, so he could learn a bit of the methods of Heartland. "He is still living with his mum. But I haven't heard from him in a long time. He is still jumping with his horse Red. I hope we get to see him." Lisa smiled at Jack in excitement. "I hope so to! Ow look, we are near Edmonton! The sign Jack saw was already behind them. "Ow Lise, I think I need your help now," he said, as the city came in sight.
A half hour later they reached the street where Lisa's sister lived. "There it is Jack! Lisa's finger pointed in the direction of the house. If was at the end of the street where the houses where placed in some kind of a circle. It is that house, Jack!
Stay tuned for more chapters! I hope you like it. And if you do, leave a comment. I really like to read those and they motivate me to write more although I am already really busy. So please let me know what you think!
