You woke up the next morning at your house. You got out of bed and walked downstairs and saw Jade putting his coat on.
"Where are you going?" you asked. He looked at you and said bluntly, "I'm bringing our children home."
You smiled and squealed, "Yay! Let me get my shoes on!" before stumbling on the floor to snatch them. You tied them and got up and out the door. As you got into the car, Jade said, "So, this all makes you wonder what they're going to be as teenagers, huh?"
You nodded and said, "It's going to be so weird now. I mean, we're not even married and we have 2 kids."
"You make it sound worse than the situation. I mean, who knew you'd have twins?"
You nodded and sighed frustratingly and said, "Yeah but I mean, we're supposed to be having 'the life' but here we are already stating the next generation. It's weird because I'm still a kid inside,"
He nodded and said, "Yeah, I know how you feel,"
The rest of the ride was silent as you drove to the hospital.
As you walked in with Jade, hand in hand, you felt a little nervous for the health of your children. You hoped they were okay.
You walk in, not really sure why you were anxious but when that nurse handed you little girl to you in a blanket, you gasped in awe at how beautiful she was.
"Jade, look at all her hair! She has my natural color and my curls! But your eyes! She's beautiful!"
"You had curls?" Jade asked.
"Naturally. I have to straighten my hair!"
"Oh I see…"
Jade then took the baby from your hands and nuzzled her face.
"Name?" the nurse asked. You looked at Jade and he looked up and said, "Quinn Rosette Puget." You smiled at the cuteness factor of a 32 year old musician naming his baby girl. Then the nurse handed you Devon. You stared in admiration at his dark curls and dark eyes. He had Jade's nose and lips. You gleamed as you looked up at jade and said, "Jade, I think we're on our way to something great. All we need to do is get married already!" and showed him your bare finger. He giggled his childish laugh and said, "It's okay. I promise that we will! Maybe in a few weeks we can get married without all that fuss of inviting people because honestly, people already assume we're married. Typical, I guess."
You sighed and smiled at him as you walked out with your children, in hope of starting something new.
You and Jade had then soon gotten married in a small church outside of Berkeley. You had put your children in school and had watched them grow into toddlers. Then into children. Then they all turn into adolescents. In other words the hardest stage. When you as adults try your hardest to understand anything your child brings to you. And it's the stage when teens feel insecure about their impact on society in general. Karma sure is a bitch.
You can try to do everything for them. But who knew life ever came to this?
.:15 years later:. Yes shaquell, we're all old hags:
"I'm not going to school. You can't make me." You heard your son recall boldly, his voice echoing down the stairs.
"What is keeping you from school that makes you want to skip it so bad? You've missed 3 days this week! I can't keep you home forever, you know?" you yelled in reply.
"Try me," he shouted, trying your patience. You bit your lip in frustration and yelled, "You're really fucking stubborn!"
"Who does that remind you of?" you heard Jade remark from the kitchen.
"Jade, I'm serious! He's missing school for some reason and I can't keep giving into his every issue. If there is something going on at school, we need to call someone about it."
Jade sighed and stood up. He made a saddened face and said, "I know. I can't get through to him like you can. I don't know what I'm supposed to do to help,"
You smiled sympathetically and said, "Go talk to him. He's really worrying me. Well, I'm going to take Quinn to school. Please be gentle on him. He's sensitive," as you put your coat on.
Jade nodded and sighed as you shut the door and left. He then grabbed a glass of soy milk and walked upstairs. He walked down the hall to Geiger's old room and knocked lightly on the door.
"What?" yelled Devon harshly. Jade winced at the sudden hostility and opened the door slowly.
"Hey, it's me," said Jade humbly as he walked in and set the glass on the coffee table as he sat down on the couch by his bed.
"Devon, why don't you want to go to school? You know your mom hates it when you stay home because she knows there a strong reason you refuse. Is it your teachers," He started before Devon interrupted with, "It doesn't have to do with anyone. I just don't feel like going, okay?"
Jade sighed and said, "Come on, if I promised not to tell your mom, would you tell me?"
Devon then jumped down from his bed, which was on top of a bunk bed.
"It's not really that big of a deal…It's just there are…some guys…and they're kind of…" He paused not going on. Jade continued to get out an answer and said, "Yeah, what about 'these guys'?"
Devon groaned and punched the wall and yelled, "They're…I can't tell you! You don't even know!"
Tears were running down his face and blood ran down his fist. Jade sat slightly shocked by his son's reaction.
"Devon…what's going on?"
He shook his head and wiped his tears with his hand. "I'm not ready…to tell you yet…I wish…it was easier to say…" he whispered in between sniffles. Jade stood up and gave his son a half hug and walked out the room but stopped in the doorway before and said, "Tell me whenever you're ready, Devon,"
As Jade walked out, Devon turned and leaned on the wall. He raised his hand to his chin as more tears came down to the horrid memory of what happened that week.
Devon's point of view:.This is a first!
You moaned as you awoke from some kind of slumber. You got up and looked around and saw you were lying on top of your coffee table. "What happened?" you thought as the memories of earlier shifted back into you. You must have passed out from your breakdown. You shook your head and brushed a curl out of your eyes as you got up and walked downstairs. You noticed your sister sitting alone on the couch.
"Quinn, what's wrong?" you asked. She stared at the floor and said, "They mentioned you today…"
"What the fuck did they say to you? Did they…"
"No," she finished, "They didn't do anything to me. They just said…that they're really ashamed of what they did…and they want to make it up to us…"
You grabbed your hair and yelled, "We're not fucking going to have anything to do with them! It's way too late for them to make it up to us…to you…"
You saw hurt in her eyes as she said, "You know…I know it was really bad for that to happen…but you don't have to be so overprotective of me. I can take care of myself,"
You felt the urge to say something more but you turned around and walked into the kitchen. You couldn't wait for Spring break in a few weeks. You were going to spend it your own way.
Spring break rolls around:
"What do you mean you're leaving?" you screamed.
"But mom, we had plans!" shouted Quinn afterwards. Your mom and dad looked at each other and mom said, "Well, we decided we were going to head and go visit my parents in-law up in the south so we figured we'd take you along and drop you off at your aunt Shaquell's place."
You looked at Quinn questionably and asked, "Who is aunt Shaquell?"
Your mom turned around and said, "She's my best friend who's married to Davey. She used to baby-sit you 5 years ago but you most likely don't remember. You'll really like their place though; they have a bunch of neat stuff,"
You frowned and stubbornly leaned on the wall and said with your arms crossed, "But I don't want to leave. I was just starting to get back into my sleeping schedule,"
Then you felt someone slap you on the back of your head. You turned and saw Quinn smiling and saying "Don't be such a putz! Maybe it'll be better than we think!"
You sighed and before you knew it, you were being dragged across the state in the back of a Honda civic, staring out the window.
You leaned your head and thought about how sad you felt inside. You hated being like this all the time. You should be happy but you feel so dragged down.
You shifted your headphones as you sat up to make the song repeat. It was By the Way by Hinder. Your dad gave you thee CD a few years ago and said it was older but it was really awesome. You've loved it ever since.
As the song started up again, you snuggled against the rest on the door and closed your eyes.
Hours later
You opened your eyes and looked out your window and saw a large house covered with large vines. You noticed neatly cut grass as your dad drove around the horse-shoe shaped driveway. As the car stopped, you got out and stretched a little before trailing behind your parents as they walked up to the entry way.
They pressed the doorbell but no one answered. You all exchanged confused glances before decinding to just walk in. You saw a large staircase and heard Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant farm blaring loudly and echoing over the room. Your mom yelled loudly to see if shaquell would respond but got nothing. But then someone with big hair and huge headphones on appeared in the room. But she didn't noticed your presence in the room as she continued rocking out to the song. Then she looked up and screamed loudly, "Oh my god, I had no clue you were here already! Davey, get down here! Jesserz and Jadeykins are here and they brought the kids!"
You saw Davey stumble out and pulling his pants up while screaming, "What? They brought DIP and Quinn?"
You twitched at his usage of your childish nickname. You raised an eyebrow at the question of what they were doing before you arrived but shook off the eerie thought. He still had his cut hair but it was a lot more styled now from when you saw him a few years ago.
You looked over at your sister and noticed she was laughing to herself as she rubbed the sleeves of her fitted hoody.
"Oh, you two look so cute standing next to each other with your dark hair and matching curls!" Shaquell recalled as she walked up and embraced your mom who said, "You're looking great for a 35 years old hag! It's great to see you again! It's been awhile,"
"Yeah, I know. I wish you guys could visit more but I understand that you're very busy having kids and all. I wish I could've seen them earlier but you kept them all sealed away with private school and all. Plus, you never dragged them to any of the concerts. tsk tsk."
Your mom smiled as she bluntly shrugged and said, "Well, me and Jade would love to stay but we better get going. Take care of the kids...don't corrupt them in an way, shape or form. Don't take them with you to any bar/clubs or etc...oh and also, I don't want them to getting into any cars with Davey. Um, I think you figure the rules so I guess I'll leave. Jade, let's go!"
"Coming! I talk to you later, David." he said and embraced Davey before walking back over and hugging each of us before leaving.
"This should be interesting," you thought aloud before turning and seeing Davey practicing ninja moves and accidentally knocking a glass vase onto the marble floors. You sighed and put your bags on the ground.
As you looked up, Shaquell stood directly above you smiling widely. You frowned and made a suspicious look as she answered with, "I know you're the most sensitive in the whole family but I promise that I'll try not to get on your last nerve. Just tell me what you want to do first,"
You smirked as an idea popped into your mind. "Take me out driving," you demanded. She backed away at your tone and then said, "That's a great idea! Come on, Davey! Let's go get the hummer!"
You raised an eyebrow, thinking to yourself, "What a bunch of suckers,"
The next thing you knew was you were in the driver's seat and ready to take the wheel. You inhaled deeply as you gently pressed the accelerator. But right as you pressed it, Shaquell came up and screamed in your ear, "You're doing it wrong!"
It made you jump and hit your head on the ceiling. "Ow," you whined, "what the hell are you doing?"
"Giving you proper direction seeing as you're completely out of range."
You glared at her and shifted it into gear and pushed down the gas pedal. You drove down the road for a little while and everything was generally going pretty well. Or it was until you turned your head around to look at Shaquell and ended up rearending another car.
"Shit, your mother didn't warn me of this. She's going to kill me!"
Note:I'm super stuck from this point on because I have come up with a new story and I really hope you'll enjoy that one but this is all I have. I'm running out of ideas for the ending but I already know about what happened to Quinn and Devon. It's kind of sad but I'm working on my other one. Please read it!
