A/N: Two chapters in a day (If it isn't the same day for you then... sorry for the time zone difference) Thank to R5xRauraxAuslly for reviewing!
I do not own anything to do with Jessie
"Jennifer, where were you?" Mel asks.
"You need to be more specific." I said as I placed my backpack by the stairs and grab a glass from the cupboard, "And why do you always call me Jennifer?"
"You were gone this morning." She states ignoring my question.
"I left a note!" I exclaimed as I get some water from the tap.
"So? You can't just leave at three in the morning!" She said angrily.
"Mel has a point Jennifer." My dad says. I stare at them open mouthed.
"Well sorry, I didn't realize that I was a child and couldn't take care of myself." I say. "And why are you calling me Jennifer? Like really dad?"
"Don't use that tone with us Jen, we're worried about you." My mom says. It takes all my will power not to scoff.
"Yeah, sure. Great. If you really need to know I was at Carlies because her boyfriend broke up with her and she had no one home to help her." I say as I walk over and pick up my bag.
"What about her parents. There were people there Jen." Mel says. I turn around and look at her.
"Really, her parents?" my mom opens her mouth to interrupt me. "Her mom has been dead for three years" my dad opens his mouth, I cut him off too "and her dad is a drunk. He doesn't even know who she is half the time so I doubt parents are the right word." I say before turning around and walking upstairs.
I feel bad about the way I spoke to them, but they needed to hear it. I had to let them know I wasn't a baby and that my friends need me. I was moving out in a few months anyways, though I doubt they even realize it.
I turn around in my room to look in my mirror. With my white camera, I had bought before the school year started; I took a picture of myself in the mirror. I placed it back down on the table and checked my phone. I had one message.
Text from Carlie
Did you get in trouble? I'm sorry!
I giggled a bit before responding and then placing my phone down on my bed. I looked at my calendar and realized that I had to go to work. I grabbed my uniform, placed it in my large purse, put it over my should then walked out of my bedroom and closed the door.
"Jen, where are you going?" Mel asked me as I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Out." I say as I walk out of the kitchen and into the living room. Zuri looks over at me from the couch.
"You gonna be in tuble." She states in a childish voice. I shrug.
"Don't turn into me when you are older kiddo." I say as I press the button on the elevator. All of the sudden my dad walks in to grab something off the coffee table, sees me and freezes.
"Where are you going?" he asks. I sigh, why people need to know!? "You're grounded."
"Usually groundings are ignored for work. Which is where I'm going." I say as the elevator opens. I can see he is about to say something but I beat him to it. "Sorry dad."
I don't understand why I defy my parents, really I don't. I guess it is fun. When the elevator gets to the ground floor the doors open and I walk out. I quickly walk out of the building and out onto the street. The sun was shining brightly and people were walking down the side walks with lots of bags.
I walked down the street and to the store Enchanted where I work. I walk in and wave at the manager Mr. Robert Stanz before going into the back to change.
I walk out in my uniform and go stand at the register. People browse through the clothing and jewelry. There weren't that many people though so Mr. Stanz comes over to talk to me.
"Did you get anything back from the collages?" he asked me as he lent on the counter. I shook my head as I took the elastic that was around my wrist and used it to tie my hair up.
"No, I haven't." I say. He shrugs and goes to the back as some customers walk up.
I ring them in the till and when they walk away I sigh and lean against it.
"Why so glum?" I hear a voice say. I look up to the hottest, and most popular, boy in school Dean Moon looking down at me with a smirk. I shoot up till I am standing straight and I looked at him.
"Umm... no reason... isn't this place not your style Moon?" I ask him as I cross my arms.
"Well Ross, if you must know I was walking by and I saw you and you looked sad. Thought I'd stop by to see what was wrong, but if you want me to go I will." He says as he starts to make his way towards the door.
"No! I mean no, it's okay. You can stay. But I'm working so you better buy something." I say as I help a customer. He nods and starts to look at all the girl things. I giggle as the person leaves and I watch him.
