I MANAGED TO WRITE SOMETHING FOR YOU GUYS THO. IM SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN WRITING AS MUCH OH AND I PROMISE MORE ERIC IS COMING UP... SO PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW SO YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK. THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING
Jen and I tried to talk for a while, but the conversation was strained to say the least. I told her about the visions Id been having and the dream but she didn't really seem to care. I had even told her about the whole situation with Eric. That's the only time she had shown a little bit of interest, but after she herd of our argument she seemed less interested again. It was around 1:00 when Jenny said she was going out for a drink and left. She didn't even invite me, not that id want to go anyway.
After a restful sleep I called Sookie and told her id come pick her up around 11:00 to go to the bank. After taking care of my hygiene I decided to try and get some homework done. It was only 9:00 and I had a few hours to kill. I got most of my work done and by 10:45 I was walking out the door to go get Sookie. Jenny said she wanted to tag along, which surprised me because Jenny was never up this early, but of course I agreed. I had really expected her to be knocked out. Especially after herI wanted all the moral support I could get. After picking up Sookie I went to the bank to meet up with the lawyer and get my grandmothers money and estate situation squared away.
They took us into a conference room and asked if it was okay that Sookie and Jenny be around when they talked about my grandmother's estate. Mr. Darcy, my lawyer, said however that the monetary part of the will I would have to handle without the assistance of my good friends, for 'security reasons'. That caught me off guard completely. But I agreed what else was I supposed to say?
The meeting went the way I had expected. Since my grandmother did not talk to any of her relatives besides me I was left all of her worldly possessions, including her house and her bank accounts. It was, at this point, where Sookie and Jenny were asked to leave the conference room and wait in the lobby.
After signing gaining some new information and signing some signatures all of my grandmothers accounts were in my name. After thanking the lawyer and the accountant at the bank I walked out to the lobby got Sookie and Jenny and then went out to the car. After driving for a while Jenny started talking.
"So how much did your dear old granny leave you?" She said bluntly.
"Excuse me?" I said taken aback by the question she asked.
I saw Sookie's mouth drop then I heard her mumble. "You were thinkin' it but I didn't think you would have the balls to ask." She sounded really upset.
"They put you in the 'confrence room' and wouldn't let us hear how much they gave you…" Jenny said ignoring Sookie's comment.
"Maybe its because its protocol and that's it." Sookie said clearly angry.
"Or," Jenny said turning looking at Sookie. "maybe its because she inherited so much they wanted a little more privacy then having the two of us there. Why are you here anyway?" She asked rather harshly as we pulled up to my house.
'"Jen what the hell is wrong with you? You know I invited Sookie over." I said looking at her like she was crazy. "And how much money my grandmother left me really isn't any of your business."
"Whatever you would have told me any other time. I was your best friend at one point, but I guess someone," She said gesturing to Sookie. "Is taking my place." WE were sitting in the car quiet for a little while. "I'm going to grab some of my stuff from the house. That is if I'm still allowed to stay here for a few weeks." Jen said sarcastically and jumped out the car and into her own then sped off.
Sookie and I decided to go inside I told her I'd cook some lunch. As I was making some bacon-burgers Sookie was still kind of quiet. She watched me from the kitchen table as I flipped the burgers.
"What's going on Sook? You have been quiet all day." I said feeling something bad was coming.
"Its really none of my business." She said plain as day. I gave her a look like she had better spill her guts. It was obvious she knew something that I didn't
I know you and Jenny have been friends for a while but there has just been something off about her. The whole time when we were in the lobby she was thinking about getting Eric, whatever that means." She said in a ball of confusion. "And then in the car she was just thinking about how much money you were going to give her. She just seems like bad news, and its weird 'cuz the first night I met her she seemed so sweet."
"She has been acting off. I don't know maybe it's just the stressful situation with parents. But the Eric thing you said she was thinking about, that is weird." I said with a sudden suspicion in my voice."
Sookie and I didn't talk about Jenny any more. She knew it was a touchy situation and I had a lot on my plate already. Tomorrow I had to go pick up my grandmothers ashes and go back to work. Even though I was feeling more comfortable with the fact that my grandmother had died, I didn't really want to pick up her ashes either. In order to get away from the somber mood Sookie and I both decided a girl's movie time was definitely needed. Romantic chick flicks, being the movies at hand. Thank God we both liked the same kind of movies.
After crying our eyes out over Sense and Sensibility, I made some popcorn and got comfortable in my bed with Sookie next to me. My house was still in my grandmother's design and that meant no TV in the living room; only a couch 2 chairs a glass table and a fireplace. Sookie and I were confined to my bedroom to watch movies, not that either of us minded. I heard Jenny coming in and out the door. I assumed she was moving some things in. Then with the same suddenness the guest bedroom door was slammed shut, then opened again and I heard the Front door slam. I could only assume she was still angry with Sookie and I.
As soon as our next movie, Pride and Prejudice was over it was dark outside Sookie and I went back out to the living room and started talking further. Sookie and I were becoming fast friends. I was actually pretty happy that I decided not to hold a grudge against her for the whole Eric thing. It seems lots of things like that seemed to happen with Eric. I, for one, didn't want to be one of them that it seemed to happen to.
"So," Sookie began. "Do you think you have a clue who your charge is now that you have had some time to think about it?" She asked.
"I have an inkling yes. Do you think you know a way that I can help strengthen my powers? I don't want to have a headache before every vision." I had noticed that little detail after talking to Jenny last night. I was upset and sat in my bed all night just thinking and I had come up with another answer to one of my questions about my visions. It was strange I actually felt a small headache starting to come on now.
I suddenly had awareness that someone was watching us. I went to the kitchen windows and closed the curtains than made sure the front door was locked. Sookie looked at me strangely but didn't say a word. Suddenly, as I was on my way back to the couch, there was a knock on the door. How creepy. I stopped and turned around and cracked the door open.
I opened the rest of the door and popped my hip out, folding my arms over my chest. "You just always seem to pop up when I'm starting to get a headache huh?" I said kind of rudely.
"Well hello to you to Miss Soderberg." The cooling voice said in a bored way.
I moved aside to let Eric in, admiring his butt as he walked in to sit down in one of the chairs. I heard Sookie snicker at me and I stuck my tongue out at her and sat next to her.
"So who should I be thanking for this unexpected visit." I said sarcastically.
"Actually I came to talk about something serious." He said with a stern voice. Sookie and I instantly got an edge. "I have talked to a local vampire bar owner and some of his clients have been drained in the past 2 days. One has even gone missing."
I was completely confused why would he be bringing this to Sookie and I. Of course we didn't have anything to do with it. We had both been around Eric the past couple nights so he knew it wasn't us.
"Okay?" I said coking my head to the side. "I'm sorry to hear that." I said sincerely.
Eric didn't say anything for a few minutes. I guess he was trying to mull something over. "We have good reason to believe that, one of the drainers is someone we actually all know, you more than anyone else." Eric said looking at me.
DONT FORGET TO REVIEW! REVIEW REVIEW!
The only person that I knew more than anyone else here was Jenny. As if on queue Jenny busted though the door laughing with 2 other guys right behind her. What was going on.
