My new answering machine was sort and sweet, it simply stated that I was going to Africa and wouldn't know when I'd be back if I'd be back. My call to my older sister would be harder. She would want reasons dates, time and places. I'd have to B.S a lot. Well here goes nothing thought as I pressed send. She picked up on the second ring.
" hello this is Ms. Parker" god I hated to ruin her honeymoon.
" Hey big sis" I tried to put as much excitement in my voice as I could muster.
" Hey what's wrong" I decided to treat it like a band -aid.
" I'm going to Africa, I'm going with the peace co. and I'm already at the airport"
" What why didn't you tell me. We just saw each other" her voice was full of worry " when do you come back?"
" I just fond out I was leaving, I don't think I'm coming back, well at least not for a long time"
" what about your family, what about Paul?" She was holding back tears.
" What family? Ava, my parents hate me and we only see each other every few years. And you have Andy now."
" ya well what about your job and you didn't answer about Paul" she was have a fit.
" Paul's an ass and the club can find a new manger, I'm not needed here, but I'm needed there"
" okay just promise to call, now and then" she gave up. We talked for a little bit longer but I made her go back to her husband. As soon as I hung up I started dry sobbing and Rose held me comforting . I don't know how long I just cried but when I stopped I noticed everyone was looking at me with pity.
" Okay so someone said something about a room" I broke the silence.
" Ya want to see it" Alice said " Esme already redid it and Edward's getting your stuff right now, don't worry I'll go later to get you clothes. I don't trust him and I want to see your clothes."
" sure" I answered sheepishly. With that Alice dragged me up the stairs, to my new room. It was perfct for my the walls where white and there was a black bed with a green comforter against one wall. On other wall there was a black couch and a Chinese nature. On across was a self that would be perfect for my Dvds and books. The last wall was a door that opened onto a porch.
" so what do you think" Esme asked nervously
' It's perfected how'd you know"
" Alice" she stated simply.
" thank you so much" I said and felt an a need to hug her so I did.
" We'll leave you to your thoughts for a little while" she hugged me tighter before letting go and leaving.
And my thought roamed to the weirdness of this all and to how safe and at home I felt.
I know this is all lovey dovey but I wanted her to feel at home and please review.
