Chapter 1
Under the Bridge
JADE

"Tori, where do you want this last bag?" I ask my wife as I walk into the house. I look around and notice that not only is Tori nowhere to be found, but mom is gone too. "Hey Tori, where do you…fuck it, she can pick it up off the floor when she comes back." I drop the bag in the middle of the living room and head back out to get my two bags that I took for a three week vacation.

"Jade, I would pick that up and take it to your room. Better to do it wrong than not at all," Dad said, as he too was hauling in all of Mom's bags.

"I don't get it. We left for three weeks, not three years. Why the hell did they need all of this shit? I mean, Tori brought six bags, plus a carry-on, and only opened two of them. Did she think her other clothes were going to get lonely?" I complained as I followed Dad up the stairs, only to find Tori standing at the top.

"Oh look, Jade, it's your wife," Dad said as he kissed Tori on the cheek as he walked by.

"Jade, please take that bag to our room. And then you can rest if you want…you can even take a nap," Tori told me with a crazy, sick smile.

I took the bag into our room and walked back out into the hallway, only to be pulled into Trina's room. Dad grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me as he cried, "Don't do it, Jade! The 'rest' is a trap! They all do it. They all say we can 'rest,' but they don't mean it. You are married now, you will never 'rest' again. And if she tells you to take a nap, then RUN! You will never wake up!" I didn't know what to do, he really believed what he was saying, but all I could do was laugh. "Believe me, Jade, when you said until death do us part…she has started to find a way. Men don't die before their wives because they're older, they die because their wives found a way to the loop hole." He kept looking over my shoulder as he told me this, to see if one of the three married women in the house were coming.

I started laughing harder, then I composed myself, giving him a raised eyebrow. "You know Dad, this talk may work on Beck, but I'm a girl, too. So I think it's a little different with Tori and me." I patted him on the shoulder, giving him a smile and turning to leave.

"Jade, where the hell are you? Do you think you can sleep all day while Mom and I carry in the rest of this stuff?" Tori yelled from what sounded like the driveway.

I turned to Dad with fear in my eyes. "Oh, shit. My life is over. What have I done?"

"You married the woman of your nightmares. Welcome to the club. I've been a member since 1982. We accept all color, creed, and sex here. Benefits are sex for at least two years, but after two years you're on your own. I suggest getting magazines. They are the easiest to hide and to stand by your wife. Now go. You don't want her to call again. And Godspeed." He held out his hand to shake mine, and I turned and ran out of the room and down the stairs as fast as I could. I know that Tori is not like what Dad said. She wasn't, but hell I'm scared.

I get out to the car and take the bags from both Tori and Mom and haul them inside. I lug them upstairs and put them away, then run back down to the car to get whatever else is left. As I'm running through the living room, I see Dad sitting on the couch, flipping through the channels, with his feet up and his shoes off. Giving the back of his head a glare, I go back out to the car and gather all the trash. Carrying in all the trash, I walk up to Dad and pour it over his head, starting with the half drank fast food cups. Dad jumped up and went to yell at me, but I stopped him when I pointed at Mom. "Sorry, Dad, I didn't want Mom to catch you sitting around. I didn't want to see you in trouble. I know you want to do everything that…what was it that you called Mom…oh yeah, that's right…the woman of your nightmares…told you to do. Anyway, you better get to it. Don't want her mad, and Godspeed." I grabbed a very shocked Tori's hand and drug her upstairs. As we made it to our room, we heard Mom yelling at Dad.

"What's all the yelling about?" Trina asked as she came out of the hall bathroom.

I smiled as I was closing the bedroom door. "Mom is finding a loop hole." Then I closed the door.

Tori

I have no idea what had come over Jade, to pour trash all over Dad. But whatever it was certainly has gotten him into doghouse, big time. Mom didn't stop yelling at him for an hour, and then she didn't talk to him for the rest of the night. Jade took Trina and I out for dinner. After a delicious meal, we came home and bought back some for both Mom and Dad. Jade and Dad just exchanged a look, so I know he tried to pull something over on her. He used to do that to Trina and I when we were younger. And I always fell for it. I used to think it was because Trina was so stuck on herself that she couldn't be bothered with such silly pranks, but he was my dad, and I would hang on every word he would say when I was younger. So he was able to pull good pranks on me all the time. He met his match with Jade, though. She really got him back for whatever he did to her. I tried to ask her, but she just told me it was between Dad and her. I didn't push it. Jade had never had an inside joke with her father, so who am I to take this from her and her dad?

Later that evening, Jade was asleep and I was on the computer, looking at houses. I know that Mom and Dad don't want us to move out until school is done, but I just really want to start my life with Jade. I want to leave school at the end of the day and say that me and my wife are going home, and not mean my parent's house. I want to walk into our own home and make dinner in our own kitchen, make love in our own bedroom. Not the bedroom I grew up in. And I don't want to have to make dinner for five people, and on some nights, six. I want to have my family, and I want to have my wife. Just not under the same roof.

I am still looking at houses when Trina walks in with tears running down her face. "Trina, what's wrong? Is it the baby?" I jump up off the bed, in the process waking Jade up.

"No, it's Beck. He sent me this pic, and it's horrible." She handed me the phone and I dropped it on the bed as soon as I looked at the picture.

"What?" Jade asked, picking up the phone, and after a quick glance, started laughing. She looked at the picture again and laughed harder, holding her sides. "Oh, man. Dad has to see this. He is going to piss himself." She took the phone with the picture of Beck dressed up like a zombie in drag, blowing a kiss to his phone with her as she hurried off, looking for Dad.

"Trina, it's just makeup. Beck isn't really a zombie, so why are you still crying?" I asked her after I got over the shock of seeing a drag queen zombie.

"He said he had a main part, not a bit part. That means he lied to me," Trina said, with fresh tears falling. I looked back to the doorway to see my dad and Jade standing there, with death in their eyes.

Jade took the phone from her pocket and called Beck's number as she paced in the hallway, with Dad standing by to take over if need be. "No, Beck, it's Jade," she replied to his cheerful greeting. "So, Trina just showed us your picture. So, is this your part? A drag queen zombie? So you will be known for the time that you not only lied to your wife of four weeks, but a dead ass fucker?" She was still pacing as she was talking to him, then stopped and listened hard. She smirked and started laughing. I have known Jade to get mad enough that she would chuckle, but this was uncalled for. She handed the phone to Trina and composed herself. "He didn't lie. They asked him to dress up like a zombie because, at some point, everyone may become one. It's a type of screen test. He just didn't think that they would make him a drag queen, and thought it was funny and wanted to share it with Trina. However, Beck being, well, Beck, he didn't think any further than his ego, and sent a picture before calling his very pregnant wife." Jade then started to laugh again. Dad joined in, and I sighed. Yes, I want my own house.
