Chapter 8
"Hi." She says quietly.
"Oh hey baby." Molly responds while leaning down to give her daughter a kiss on the top of her head. She reaches over and picks up an unopened package of skittles, tears it and hands her the candy. Fi immedialy pulls out a red colored one puts it into her mouth, then hands the bag back.
"No honey there for you." Molly says while handing it back. Fi looks up at mother confused for a moment but does has told and keeps the candy.
"Thank you."
"Anything for my girl." She says while brushing Fi's bangs gently. That was all she needed the wall of Jericho around her heart came toubling down, along with the tears.
"Fi what's wrong?" Molly asks genuinely taken back by this sudden change in behavior. Fi wants to talk but can't seem to make any words form, at least not understandable phrases.
"Do do do you mean that?" Finally she gets out.
"God of course I do!" Molly reaches over and cups Fi's face into her hands.
"I thought you didn't want me anymore."
"Fiona Erica Phillips! Where in the world did you come up with such an idea!? Not want you? Baby I would die for you. Both you and Jack are my sun and moon nothing else matters more then you two." Now it was Molly's turn to cry.
"Since I got back you have barely said five words to me. You always seem to be having a great time with Jack and Clu. Carey and you have so much in common with the band and working together and everything. Now with Annie sometimes I feel out of place."
"I'm so sorry. Jack will be leaving soon for college and this is the last time I will really be able to spend time with him. And wherever Jack is you'll find Clu. And honey you're my daughter not Annie. Do you understand?" For some reason Fiona did and was no longer upset. The two ladies embrace and are interrupted by Irene's annocment that they had to finish up rehearsal.
Fiona pours the candy out into her hand starts to eat them one by one making careful selections about what to eat when. Jack and Clu could be heard playfully arguing about what came first the chicken or the egg? Of all the mysterious and unexplainable event Fi searched for none were has mind stopping has in understanding the minds of those two. The red headed man is walking towards Fi causing her to start becoming tense again. He walks right up to her his eyes focoused on her eyes the whole time when he reachs her takes a skittle and keeps on walking. Fiona doesn't know what to say so she just stands there. Not much she could do. What was she suppose to call the police and say some man took a purple skittle from me? There was just something about that man that Fi didn't trust or didn't like.
