The next morning, Jane woke up and saw that Carter wasn't there in the bed anymore. She sat up and got out of the bed. She looked out the window and saw that Mia, May, and Carly was with Alex by the water. Looking at the her phone, Jane saw that it was almost lunch time. Wow she overly slept in. And she hardly drank. She got dressed in a pair of shorts, and two tank tops. She put her sneakers on and pulled her dark hair up into a ponytail. Leaving the bedroom, and heading down the stairs, she turned a corner and saw her father, Richard, in the living room. She hadn't spoken to him since their screwed up lunch yesterday. She stopped when he looked up at her. He gave her a tired smile. "Hey Janey bear." He greeted. "Hey dad... Im surprised you're here.. at the house right now I mean." She told him. He chuckled softly. "Rachel and I are going to the park for a picnic. I'm just waiting on her." He explained. She nodded holding her elbow.
"Look Janey, about yesterday. Im sorry you felt I was trying to see if you was crazy. That isn't my intentions." He said. "Well that's how you make it seem like. And its every time we see or even talk to each other." She told him. Richard nodded looking down. "You have grown up so fast.. I have a hard time talking to you." She sighs. "I guess that's why you hardly ever try to talk to me or see me." She told him. It was like a shot to the heart for Richard.
He knew that his youngest child was right. He didn't try very hard. He tried to spoil her when they did see each other. But Jane was a different kind of child. She didn't want to be spoiled. She wanted to work hard to earn the things she wanted. He would buy her something expensive and he would wake up to see that she cleaned the entire house. She wouldn't even touch the item he bought her until she did something to earn it. Jane was always so different from other children, not that he had a lot of experience with children, that he didn't know how to handle her. To bond with her.
He just didn't know how. Richard looked at her. She looked like the perfect mix of himself and his ex wife. But just like Alex, Janey was a beauty. Inside and out. While Alex was a spit fire, Jane was a calm person. The two sisters were like yin and yang. Yet they was the best of friends. Alex was her mother threw and threw. He was never good with Alex just like he wasn't with Jane.
"I really want to have a relationship with you Janey bear. I really do. But.." He was interrupted by Jane. "But you don't even try Richard. You don't. I hear from you MAYBE three times a year. Im lucky I see you that many times. Its hard to have a relationship with someone you don't bother to contact them." She told him.
He nodded and looked at his youngest. She was little girl. A sweet Daddies girl. He remembered her waddling up to him screaming 'daddy' when he returned home from work, or her crying until her dad came to tuck her in, she wanted to always have him read to her. After he left, it was like she saw him in a completely different way. Which is exactly what happened. He knew it. He knew she hated him for thinking her mom was crazy, for breaking their family up. He knew that Jane had to grow up to much at such a young age, because of her mothers crazy obsession with the mythical Creature. He didn't believe in the Creature. He thinks that the murder of Trish's brother broke her, and she needed something to put the blame on since they never caught the killer.
He thought that taking his daughter away from Trish would protect his daughter, but his case wasn't enough. The court didn't think that Trish was incapable of taking care of Jane. So Trish kept custody of Jane when Jane begged that she wanted to live with her mom.
"Look... I am going outside.." She told her father, who seemed to be done talking since he hasn't spoken in a bit. He opened his mouth, but closed his mouth and nodded. She walked outside and walked over to the garage that she sees is opened. She smiled seeing Carter doing some work on his bike. "Hey. You let me sleep in." She told him as she walked up to him. He smiled over at her. "You seemed really tired last night, and was so adorable in you sleep." She smiled, walking up behind Carter, and hugs him from behind. She sighs deeply after taking in his smell. He rubbed her arm, and moved one of her hands to kiss it. "What's wrong?" He asked.
She nuzzled his back. "I just had an awkward run in with Richard." She said simply. "Ah. You ok?" He asked concerned. She nodded. "Yeah... I just wish that he'd just tell me that he wanted nothing to do with me. Instead he tells me that he wants a relationship. He tells me he finds it hard to talk to me." She told him.
"I guess it is hard to talk to someone that holds hate against them." Carter said wisely. She moved away to look at him. Her green eyes clashed with his dark brown ones. "I don't hold hate towards Richard." She said crossing her pale arms.
He raised an eyebrow. "I know you do love Richard in a small way, but you do hold hate and resentment against him as well. He may not contact you a lot... but you don't even attempt to try to contact him. So I guess you both are in the wrong in a certain way." He told her.
She leaned back so that she was slightly sitting on his bike as she looked at him. "Don't give that look. You know that I am right babe." He told her crossing his large muscular arms making them bulge a bit more. The two looked at each other before she sighed and looked away. "Ok you're right. I'm resentful of him. He tried to take me away from my mom. He broke our family apart. He didn't believe my mom. And then he ignores me. We use to be sooo close and now we are practically strangers." She told her boyfriend.
Carter sighed, reaching out and grabbing his woman by the waist , pulling her to him. He hugged her and she hugged him. Jane was actually taller then her when he was sitting like this. So she leaned over and laid her head on top of his. They didn't see the angry Creature watching the loving and touching scene.
