Sorry for the hiatus. I'm trying hard to continue to update my stories but its not happening at the pace I want it to be. I know that I may be overdoing it with PJ's luck but keep hanging in here. This is just setting it all up. We will get to drama later... Promise.
ENJOY.
PJ sighs loudly for the third time in the last ten minutes. He rolls his eyes tiredly as Phil glares at him through the driver rear view mirror.
"Guy's, are we there yet? My iPod touch wasn't charged all the way and now it's died." PJ complains. He knows he shouldn't be harsh and complacent like he is but what do you expect from a kid who got taken away from his family.
"We are almost there, PJ." A twinge of annoyance is heard through Julie's calm demeanor.
"That is what you said ten minutes ago." PJ whines some more. He sighs more loudly as he goes back to staring out the window. Trees flying past him suddenly turn into large buildings and houses. They tower above the horizon, brave and tall.
"Whoa."
Julie glances towards Phil and flashes him a smug grin. He returns it with a sarcastic smile.
"Welcome to Colorado Springs." Phil announces with little excitement, let alone emotion.
"Wow Phil don't sound excited about that or anything." PJ counters. Phil smirks for a moment before going back to being stoic. "So 1 hour in the car will get me from Denver to the Springs? I didn't know that."
"Enough of the sarcasm, we should be coming up on your new foster parents home. You might not want to get off on a rocky start by sass mouthing to them." Phil growls with authority ringing in his voice.
"We shall see about this." PJ raises an eyebrow when he sees the neighborhood they enter. The car leisurely rolls through the opening gate and enters neighborhoods filled with large, complex houses filled with nice cars and swimming pools in every back yard. The car goes through some twists and turns before reaching its destination.
PJ lets out a small gasp as he gazes upon his new home. It's quite a large house with three cars in its driveway. Three really nice cars. He stumbles out of the car and is startled by the heat.
"What the hell? I am going to need new clothes. Jesus, guys you could have warned me that I cant use any of my clothes in this weather." PJ grunts angrily as the heat from the car drifts towards him more. He pulls at his collar, hoping to fan out whatever he can.
"Straighten up. You will get used to this weather." Phil gruffly adds.
"How is this still Colorado? It feels like California!" PJ whines once more.
"It's something with the placement of it and all the other stuff. Basically, it gets really hot and then it gets really cold. The seasons really change here." Julie explains, not caring too much about the details. PJ glances around the neighborhood he will be living in for three quarters of a year. The house has elegant columns from the porch to the roof and the patio wraps around to the back of the house. He tries to adjust his collar again but Phil's glare stops him. He mutters something about the stupid idiot who had him wear a fancy outfit while walking up to the porch. He looks back at the three cars. One is a white 2011 Charger with two red stripes, one is a sweet black escalade and the other one is a green hybrid. He whistles and wonders who the cars are for. Suddenly a frightening thought comes to his mind.
"Wait, I don't even know who I am living with. Do they have kids? Am I going to have to deal with other kids too?" PJ tries to walk away from the door but Phil grabs his collar and pulls him back. He nods towards Julie for an explanation. Julie sighs before answering.
"It's okay, PJ. We would not have you go into a house with other kids. They don't have any. He works as a surgeon at the largely successful hospital about 5 minutes from here and she works as an international art collector." Julie finishes and looks at PJ to make sure he is satisfied with the information. He starts to nod but stops and pales a little.
"What are their names?" Julie exchanges an amused glance with Phil. "David and Emma White." PJ nods numbly and feels his hands grow sweaty. He wipes his hands on his pants before pressing the button that triggers the sound of a doorbell. All the courage and awe that he had coming over here left his body as soon as he heard the door handle start to jiggle. He looks pathetically at Phil, pleading with the man to change the governments mind but Phil seems to ignore him.
The faces that he sees when the door finally opens surprises him. His mouth just opens and closes like a fish out of water. PJ is sure he looks like an idiot right now but the foster parents will get that soon enough. With baited breath, the couple smiles at him and open the door to let them in. What he sees is surprising to say the least. Good luck PJ! His mind fills in as he steps into the house.
Sooooo? What do you think? I know its not the most interesting thing that will happen. WHat is the surprise?
