Chapter 2 Jamie is Angry
Jamie ran back to his home, expecting to just drop off his backpack and then heading back out to play with his friends.
He hadn't expected to see his older sister sitting on the couch sipping a juice box as she spoke with her mother, looking all calm, cool and collected as though she hadn't spent the last three years out who knows where.
"Mom?" He asked as he dropped his bag and stepped forward giving only a half glance toward his older sister. What is she doing here? He thought but did not say it out loud. Instead just looked questioningly at his mother.
His mother turned to Jamie her smile almost blinding. "Jamie look your sister's back!" His mother said with uncontainable glee.
Dawn turned her head to look at Jamie. "You've grown so much squirt." She said. "I almost didn't recognize you." They both looked at him as he said nothing for a while.
It was then that his mother noticed that he had laid his bag on the floor something she had warned him countless times against. "Jamie I thought I told you, not to leave your bag in the middle of the floor. Go put it away in your room."
Jamie did not answer the girl who had walked out on his family several years ago or his mother. Instead he grabbed his backpack and stalked back upstairs. Once he reached his room he slammed the door shut behind him.
The second the door slammed shut behind him he threw his backpack down and screamed.
This isn't fair! Dawn leaves and abandons the family for years and yet mom will speak to her like she never left. Why isn't mom angry with her? Why doesn't mom yell at her for leaving, for abandoning us? He thought to himself.
Jamie sat on his bed and put his head in his hands. Thinking about how Dawn left years ago and the emotional turmoil it caused his family when she did.
The tears their mother had shed the day they found out she had run away, were still etched into his mind. His mother had spent countless nights crying for her older daughter to come home.
For her to leave like she did especially right after their father had died... to leave their mother alone to suffer through the grief of losing a husband alone, and to also deal with child birth while worrying about her eldest daughter was, in his young mind, unforgivable.
A knock on the window caught his attention interrupting his thoughts. He turned to see Jack Frost waving at him, gesturing for him to hurry up and come out and play.
He smiled when he saw the Guardian of Fun and nodded before standing from his bed and leaving the room.
He could deal with his sister returning out of the blue later, right now there was fun to be had with his favorite Guardian.
In this story Ms. Bennett married Mr. Bennett when Dawn was two years old and then Mr. Bennett adopted Dawn so that's why she takes the Bennett name.
As to why Dawn left I'll get to that in a future chapter. (Hint: it has to do with the late Mr. Bennett)
So as always leave a review.
