Chapter 3
"Aunt Johanna!"I say while giving her a hug
"Hey Jasmine. Where are your parents?"
"My mom is visiting the mayor and dad is at the bakery"
I let her in and we go into the living room. Lexi is still watching tv but she gets up and says hi to Johanna then quickly turns back to the tv. I went to go get my painting supplies to put them in the living room. I started to paint a creative painting. My mom was the Sun, dad was the Moon, and me and Jake were the stars. I was almost done when my mom got home.
"MOM! We have company!"I yell
Mom comes in the living room. When she sees Johanna she gives her a big hug and they start talking.
"Johanna! I haven't seen you in a while!"my mom says
"Yea, well I'm staying for a long time. Plus I have to tell you and Peeta something"
"Well, Whats it about?"
"Gale."
I dropped my paint brush when I heard Gale's name. Thank God it didn't ruin the painting.
"Are you ok?"my mom asked me
''Yea, the paint brush just slipped out off my hand" I said turning away
Mom and Johanna went into the kitchen to talk while I finished my painting and talked to Lexi. Soon Lexi had to leave.
"Bye Lexi! I'll see you tomorrow!"I say while giving her a quick hug
"We are working on those scripts tomorrow ok!"
"Yea, Yea. I hope you didn't forget that I am a genius writing scripts"
"Yea ok. See you later!''she said running off
I almost closed the door when my dad and brother came home. We walked into the kitchen and dad started to cook dinner. Me, mom, and Johanna started talking while Jake was texting his friends. Finally dinner was ready and we all ate and talked about our day. After dinner me and Jake went to go get ready for bed. I was brushing my teeth when I forgot to get my painting out of the living room. I slowly went downstairs but stopped when I heard the grownups talking.
"Gale is still trying to get you to love him"I heard Johanna say
"Of course he is even if I have two children he still is not going to give up"My mom said
"Would you mind if I lived with you two?"
"Sure, I'm sure the kids would like their Aunt with them" my dad said
I like the idea of Johanna being with us. I'm sure it would be fun.
"So what are we going to do about Gale?" my mom said
"Ignore him and if things get physical we call the Peacekeepers" Johanna said
I'm tired of Gale always coming into our lives trying to mess up things. I will stop this one day but I'm not sure how I will. I tiptoe towards the living room to get my painting. It was dark but I couldn't turn on the lights cause they would know I was downstairs. I saw the painting by the tv and almost got to it when the lights turned on.
"Why are you downstairs?"I hear my mom say
"I forgot my painting" I say glancing around nervously
"Ok. Go upstairs Jasmine"
"Ok. Goodnight mom"I say giving her a hug
I can't really sleep so I grab my laptop and look up somethings. I look up The Hunger Games and a lot of things pop up. I read about it and how it ended. Its really interesting to me but I'm glad they don't have that anymore. I think about writing an article about it for the school but I'm not sure if my mom and dad would like it. I decided to at least type up a possible article and save it on my computer. Just when I was about to get off my laptop my dad came in.
I'm glad I have Johanna living with them. Next chapter will have some Gale drama. Read and Review my chapters and tell me what you think about my story so far! :)
