Ashley and Cassandra smiled, their front door. My eyes glued to the ground.
"Look up sweetie!" Ashley chirped.
I looked up at her, Jeff's hand tightened around mine.
Her face was etched in happiness, so happy she didn't see the tears rolling down my face.
"What's wrong?!" Cassandra gasped. I immediately found myself ripped from Jeff and pulled into their arms.
I sighed, "I'm home."
They laughed, "Why are you sad?"
I sniffled and pulled away from them. Jeff wrapped his hand around mine and pulled me close to him.
"I have to leave him."
Ashley pushed her thick rimmed glasses up her nose and laughed, "He'll come back."
Jeff rubbed my shoulder, "Yeah, I'll come back."
I laughed.
"But I wont have you right now."
He smiled and kissed my forehead.
"Shan's girl will keep you company. Promise, she's waiting for you at the house."
I swallowed hard, "Shannon's girlfriends never like me. Never."
Jeff laughed.
"If you wouldn't act like every girl was out to get his money, break up your family and kick you out of the house then maybe you would."
"Everyone of them are!"
The house was silent. The door was locked. I could only hope she forgot where he lived and was patiently waiting for me at some other house.
Didn't happen.
"Oh. My. God."
