"Girls, I'm ready if you all are!" We heard Jacque's mum yell from downstairs.
I quickly grabbed my phone from where it was still plugged in and lightly pushed a green looking Jaq out the bedroom door.
"I think I am officially going to be sick," Jacque moaned looking like she was already regretting agreeing to this plan.
"Take slow deep breaths, if you pass out while we're over there, I once again tell you I will laugh my ass off" Jen bluntly stated.
"Jen!" I scolded trying to stop laughing as I looped my arm with Sally who was shaking her head at Jen with a disapproving look.
"Man you are just a ball of warm fuzzes aren't you?" Jacque bit out glaring at the smirking blonde.
"I'm just saying" Jen laughed her smirk turning into a bright smile.
Jacque obviously deciding to ignore her turned in a circle with her arms out, "How do I look?" She questioned looking down at her shirt with a self-conscious grimace marring her pretty face, "Is this shirt a little much?"
"No" My answer was echoed by the other girls as we looked at her 'I'm not stubborn, my way is just better' baby doll tee.
"I think it's perfect. It makes a statement, like hey I'm not scared of your little mind gibberish" Sally encouraged.
"But I am scared of his mind gibberish, if It is really his mind gibberish and not something else entirely" Jacque said sounding forlorn with a look to match.
"Babe," I started unhooking my arm from Sally to put my arm around Jac's waist "that's why we're going over there, to gather the Intel we need to sort this shiz out." Still seeing the defeated look on Jacque's face I smiled sadly and gave her a half hug.
"Oh, come on, pull yourself together man, he's just a guy, okay, nothing more and nothing less" Jen stated with utter confidence before turning and making her way downstairs leaving us to follow her lead.
Moving my forward I grabbed Jac's hand leading her down the stairs as she seemed to be stuck in her thoughts.
Suddenly a weight pushed me down and I grabbed onto the stair rails to steady myself looking back to see Jen had launched towards Jaq to stop her from knocking us all down the stairs.
"Are you okay?" Jen whispered letting go when she was sure Jaq could stand on her own.
"I just heard the voice again" Jacque shakily answered so quietly we had to lean in to hear her.
"What did it say?" Sally asked her keeping in the same low tone.
"Did it hurt you?" I asked hurriedly cut in thinking about all the possible things that could shock her enough for her to almost fall down the stairs.
"No" She shook her head "It said 'Good morning my loona'" She answered dragging out the 'o' her eyebrows scrunched "What the stink does that mean?"
"Are you girls coming?"
With all our attention on Jac we all jumped when Jacque's Mum asked us from where she was standing at the bottom of the stairs.
Jen being the first to pull herself together replied for all of us, "Lead the way Ms. Pierce".
After grabbing a dish each and one jug of Sweet tea, just the thought of that cold sweetened liquid made me shiver, we stepped out of the house and immediately a wave of heat crashed over me although it was only 10am it was already blistering hot.
Seeing the difference between Jac's brown and dead lawn and the healthy and green lawn of the neighbours always made me grin knowing it was the consequence of cutting it too short in an effort to go longer between mowing.
"He was standing in the window ya'll, I promise I did not just imagine it" Jac spoke up sounding desperate for us to believe her.
Focusing on not dropping the heavy dish I was carrying I speed walked to Jac who was a head of Jen and I with Sally.
"We believe you Jac, stop doubting that" Sally said with conviction.
"Yeah, we're here for you babe" I smiled sweetly hip bumping her lightly just as we arrived at the Henry's front doors.
