"Welcome home Jackie!" Sofi screeched when Bobby was helping Jack walk through the door. Her welcome had been followed by Angel taking him from Bobby.
"Wheres Jerri?He said he would be here!" Bobby said looking around the house.
"He had to take the girls to school he'll come by later" Angel said after getting Jack settled on the couch. Within 10 minutes everything was back to normal, Sofi was yelling at Angel for something or another and Bobby was calling Jack "fairy" left and right.
"Bobby!" Jack yelled not looking up from the tv.
"What the hell is it?" Bobby said walking into the room.
"Someones at the door..."
"Oh" Bobby walked to the door with his gun in his right hand behind his back. When he opened the the door he saw a girl who couldnt be older than 16. She was about 5'2 with light blonde hair that was pulled up into a messy bun and shockingly blue eyes. she was wearing a destressed denim mini skirt with black leggings underneath and a grey polo over a black and white striped long sleeve. "Hey.." Bobby said looking her up and down
"Hi. I just moved in next door a couple days ago and I got you mail by mistake, so I figured I'd bring it over" She said looking up at Bobby shaking. When he saw that she was cold he invited her in so she could warm up.
"Thanks, oh. Im Kelly by the way, Kelly Jeffers" she said rubbing her hands over her arms to heat them up. When Jack heard that name he jumped got off the couch, wincing, and walked over to the door.
"Kelly?KJ?" Jack said look at her with wide eyes. It took her a while but she finally figured out who he was "JJ?Oh my gosh! I havent seen you in what seven years?" She said looking up at him, since he was at least one foot taller. He reached down and pulled her into a soft hug, he could feel her shaking and when she looked up at him with tears in her eyes it took all the strength that he had left to not cry with her.Seeing her brought back so many memories, not all of them good. He remembered when they baked muffins together and she burnt the bottoms so they went around giving all the neighbors the top halves, and when he wrote her a song for her 9th birthday, but he also remembered when his father would beat him and the only way he felt safe was if he was sneaking into her window and falling asleep in her closet so her mom wouldnt know he was there. Bobby walked into the kitchen unnoticed while they just stood infront of the door holding each other.
After a few minutes Kelly stopped crying and stepped back so she could look at him. He still looked like her JJ, but he filled out, his arms didnt just hang there, they had some muscle and his hair grew out, and his face didnt look to bad either. Her thinking about him haw interupted when he said "Wanna go sit down?" she smiled and nodded yes. When she saw him sit down she noticed that he looked like he was in pain. She just shook it off, he would tell her when hes ready.
"So what happened to you when I left?" Jack asked, he wanted to keep in touch but his social worker told him not to contact anyone near his father.
"Well, hmm...After you moved away Mom and Dad decided they wanted to change where I was growing up." Kelly started explaining, until Jack interupted her, "You mean they didnt want you growing up near my dad?"
"Uh. yea.." Kelly continued," So we picked up and moved to Maryland, and for about 3 years Dad was teaching at the comunity college and the he got a great job offer at a pricey private school, so not only did he get paid tons I got to go there for free! and when I was a freshman there I met Jason..."when she mentioned his name her face lost some color and she stopped talking for a little while. "Im sorry Jack, i have to go..I I have to do something." without waiting for him to say goodbye Kelly quickly got up and walked out of the front door. Jack looked out the window and saw her run to her door, run inside, and shut it after her.
