11. Tiffany is coming to town
I walked to the table. "Why did you fall asleep in class? Oh." Jace said. He had figured it out. "What did I miss?" Preston asked. "There was a thunderstorm last night." I simply said. "What does that have to do with you falling asleep?" "Nothing." Jace and I said together. Preston just nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me I would have stayed." Jace said as we made our way to my locker. "I know I just, we had school today so you know." I told him. I think he understood. We got home from school and walked into my house. It was all decorated. "What's going on in here?" I asked while we made our way into the kitchen.
"Your cousin is coming into town honey." my mom said as she looked at us. I froze I hated cousins coming because that meant evil would come with them. "Which one mom?" I asked. "Oh tiffany's fa-" "NO!! I'm not letting tiffany in she's not allowed in this house. She will ruin everything mom!" I practically yelled at her. "Room now." she told me. I grabbed Jace's hand and pulled him with me to my room. I locked the door behind me.
"What's wrong with tiffany Cambrey?" Jace asked me and sat me on his lap. What's not wrong with tiffany? She is the evil that her family brings. She likes to make my life completely miserable every time she comes. Then she goes home and I have to live through living heck for the next three weeks. She always likes to have what I have. So she does whatever she can to get it. Once she wanted my favorite Barbie so she stole it and my mom just thought I lost it. "Everything." I told him. I got up from his lap and did hand motions as I talked. "She always wants what I have. She's evil. Pure evil." I continued telling him.
"Do you like the roast Cambrey?" my mom asked me. "Yes." I would not say more than one word ever since she said evil was coming. Jace had stayed for dinner and he was staying the night because tomorrow was Saturday. The day evil was coming. Soon enough it was morning. I heard the doorbell ring. "Hello Tiffany." I heard mom say. She was the only one of our nine that didn't think she was evil. Then again she always sucked up to my mom. "Hello Aunt Tasha." I heard the evil say. My sisters did not come home for this. They were smart.
"Cambrey come say hi to Tiffany." my mom yelled up the stairs. "Come say hi to tiffany." I said as I tried to mimic my mom. Jace laughed. I walked with him hand in hand down the stairs. Tiffany was in the living room. The only one I might add. My brothers were out at the mall and would be home later. They didn't know evil was here yet.
"Hello Tiffany." I said. I was still holding on to Jace's hand. Ok more like squeezing it, but you couldn't tell. "Hello Cambrey, oh who is this you have here." she asked and focused all her attention on Jace. So like her. "This is my boyfriend Jace." I told her. "Oh to bad your already taken cutie. I would be all over you." she said. Ugh I hated her! "Well he is. Come on Jace let's go." I told him. "Very controlling isn't she Jace. If you want someone un-controlling I'm always available." she said and was walking towards him to touch him. I pulled him out of her way. "DON'T TOUCH HIM!!" I yelled at her. I guess my bothers were back because they all ran into the room. I felt arms around me. "Stop yelling Carr or mom will send Jace home." it was Devon who whispered into my ear. "She was going to-" "I know." he said not letting me finish. He let me go. "Jace take her somewhere other than this room." Devon told him. Jace listened. He pulled me all the way to the other room. The kitchen nice Jace. All the grown ups are in here including my mom.
"I wasn't going to let her Cambrey. You need to relax." Jace said as we sat at the kitchen table. He put a hand on my back and doodled on my back. That kept me under control. "Cambrey Noelle Nicholson do you mind explaining why you were yelling." my mom said. I groaned internally. Jace didn't take his hand off my back though. "Tiffany was going to touch Jace." I explained. "No more yelling or Jace goes home." she said. "Yes ma'ma." I told her. Jace lead me upstairs to my room. We sat there until I fell asleep. He had his arms around me the whole time not letting me go. I wasn't complaining one bit.
