Hi! Well, here is the next chapter. I'm still developing this story.
I know the frames of it, but it's the in betweens I've got to work on. This
chapter, is partly an in between, so please don't be angry with me if it's
not great. Ok, so here it goes!
"So how, again, do you know him?"
"He's my cousins son. He's in town visiting."
"And how come I haven't met him before?"
"Well have you met my cousin Alice?"
"No."
"That's why. Well, everyone ready?"
Elizabeth eyed her mother suspiciously. Your cousin's son.yeah. right. he picked up her fork and began to eat, watching Jessie's every move. Jesse noticed this and would smile at her every once in a while, and she would just frown in return. She didn't trust him. She didn't believe her mother's story. But then again, she had reason not to.
Earlier that day she had seen them at the door. "Jesse, I'm sorry. I couldn't drink the water. I just couldn't!" What was the water her mother was talking about? And why would she be apologizing? And why did she break down in tears? All Elizabeth knew, was that she didn't trust this man.
?
Dinner ended, and the strange man had even helped clean the dishes. Elizabeth never let him leave her sight. "At any moment, that man can attack one of us." She thought. It was funny, though, that she was calling him a man, when they seemed the same age. To her, it almost implied that he was much older than her. Then again, if he was the same age, wasn't he almost a man?
Even when he went out on the porch, Elizabeth secretly watched him through the window. Jessie never noticed her then, he was too deep in thought. It was just weird. The whole situation was. He had just had dinner with the love of his life, who was, in a sense, now much older than him, and her daughter. Her husband was out of town on a business trip, which made it even weirder. It was like he was part of that family. It was like, in a second, he was older, living with Winnie, and had a daughter. It was like he had never drunk the water.
"Ok, spill it." A sharp and sudden voice came from behind him. Jessie turned around to find a stubborn and determined person, standing behind him. Elizabeth.
"I don't know what you mean." Replied Jesse somewhat truthfully.
"Yes you do."
"Actually I-"
"I saw you and my mother on the porch this morning."
Jesse thought back to earlier that day. The sound he had heard when talking to Winnie. It had sounded like a shoe scraping against the dirt. No. she couldn't have heard. could she? This wasn't good. Elizabeth now knew part of the truth, and she was impatiently waiting for an explanation.
So there it is! I really hope you like it! I did! Please reply and tell me what you think! Thank you for reading!
