"Taylor Jade Mecer! Your going to be late for school!" a now 16 year old Angel yelled up the stairs. He sat back down at the kitchen table and smiled as Evelyn passed a bowl of cereal.
"Boy, Ima smack you in the head if you call me my whole name again!" Taylor said as she ran down the stairs. Evelyn laughed and watched her sit by Angel. Angel threw a cheerio at her. Bobby smirked at his 9 year old sister. She defenitly had the Mercer attitude these days. He reached over and pulled off her baby blue baseball cap, which she was wearing backwards.
"Hey you ass!" Taylor cried as she jumped up. Angel choked on his cereal as Bobby looked at her widly. Oh yea, he really was a bad influence.
"Taylor Mercer!" Evelyn gasped. She gave her a very light smack in the head. Taylor looked at her mom with sad eyes.
"Sorry mommy!" Taylor said. Evelyn held a look of understanding. She bent down and gave the little girl a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh! Now you like to curse huh?" Bobby asked. A snort from across the room turned their attention to Jack. He pushed himself off the wall.
"Yeah well, I wonder where she learned it from!" said a now 14 year old Jack. Taylor jumped up and snatched the hat from Bobby. Bobby smirked and kneeled eye level with her. Taylor smacked Bobby with the hat, then she walked to Jack. Evelyn laughed at her children. It had been four years and they were the best of friends. Of course, the boys had fallen into the role of overprotective brothers. But Taylor never complained. She was just happy that she was leading a normal life and not on the run from the police. She knew Danny and her parents loved her, but the time she was taken from wasn't the first time they were on the run. When Taylor was three, she had her hair color changed and her name. At three she'd been Nadine, then she was Taylor. Then Danny wanted her to be Jada-Lynn. It was so confusing to a little girl. She didn't know exactly why Danny and her parents had been arrested, all Evelyn said was that they had sinned.
"Tomorrow ie my birthday so you all gotta be nice to me!" Taylor said as they walked out the door. Everyone chuckled
Taylor watched the clock as it flashed. Only five more minutes til 6:30. That was the time she was born and that was the time she would be turning thirteen
five..four...three..two..one
Taylor smirked the clock changed. She ripped back the covers of her bed and ran to Jack's bed. She hopped on the bed, causing him to shot up and grab her. Once, his eyes adjusted to the little bit of light that streamed through the windows, he looked at her.
"Its my birthday Jackabear! Happy birthday to me!" Taylor whisperd. Jack chuckled as he pulled his little sister into hug. She was too cute sometimes.
"Happy Birthday Baby!" Jack said. He began to slightly stroke her hair, his eye lids growing heavy. A snore from his side caused him to jump. He chuckled as he looked down at Taylor. She was fast asleep, never took long. Smiling, he pulled the blankets over them and fell asleep himself.
Taylor smiled as she twriled the cross that had been given to her by Bobby, between her fingers. Jack had his hands covering her eyes as he led her through the house. He stopped them and took his hands off of her eyes.
"Suprise!" everyone yelled. Taylor smiled as her eyes settled on the cake and presents on the table. A long banner hung from the door frame: 'Happy 13th Birthday Taylor'. Evelyn pulled the little girl into the kitchen and they spent the whole day celebrating.
Taylor let her tears fall as Bobby walked out of the door. He turned back and frowned at his little sister as Evelyn held her back. It was finally time for Bobby to go, he was all grown up and wanted to try life on his own. Angel had left just weeks ago, wanting to pursue the same goal. Bobby got into his car and turned the ignition. He looked back to Taylor who had run out of the house and was heading toward his car. Jerry chased after her, catching her as she reached the curb. Bobby rolled down his window.
"Hey, wipe up those tears baby blue eyes!" Bobby said as he pinced one of Taylor's cheeks. He looked into her eyes, deep pools of blue. "I'll always be with you Tay Tay! Always!" He grabbed the cross around her neck. Taylor smiled as she got the point.
Three Years Later
Evelyn walked out into the night with Taylor close behind. They were going to the store to buy some turkey for dinner. Taylor giggled as she slipped on a peice of ice and fell to her butt. Evelyn laughed and help her daughter up.
"I told you to watch out for that ice Tay!" Evelyn said. Taylor dusted herself of and looked at her mother.
"Well, I did say I wanted to take ice skating lessons, I'll consider that the first lesson!" Taylor joked. Evelyn laughed and they got into the car. It was just the two of them now. Jerry had married Camille and they moved into their own place, not far from Evelyn. And Jack had left when Taylor was fifteen. Tomorrow, Jack and Jerry were coming home to celebrate Taylor's sweet sixteen.
(A/N: Ok this next part has been done, I know. But it was my cousins idea so yell at him!)
Taylor smiled as her mother confronted a little boy about shop lifting. She patted the little boys head as he ran out of the store. She turned to her mom and the cashier.
"I gotta go potty!" Taylor said. Evelyn laughed and pointed her towards the bathroom. As Taylor washed her hands, she couldn't help but noticing a nagging feeling in her gut, like something bad was going to happen. She was about to reach the frozen food section when a gunshot rang through the store. Ducking behind the deli counter, Taylor froze on the spot. Then she heard her mothers voice. 'No! Mom!' she thought to herself. And her worst nightmare came true. As she peeked around the corner, she saw two men in ski masks. And there in front of her eyes she saw her mother be murdered.
Here you go guys! I edited this a bit. I see why it was confusing. I put that she was turning ten when I meant to say thirteen. Sorry for the confusion! Reread and reveiw so I know if it makes more sense! Sorry again!
Also, does anybody rember the part where green is telling frowler about the Mercer's? If so, tell me, I wanna use that in my story but I can't remeber it word for word!
