************************************************************************

Bontemps. The little town in Louisiana where my brother Jason, my sister Lyzel and I Sookie Stockhouse grew up.

Jason was the first one born, although we are triplets, Jason acts as an older brother. Since his the only guy in the family, his very protective of everybody. Jason acts as the "Padre de familia" ( Man of the household). He is the one in charge when grandma was not around.

Jason is a ladies man. He dates a lot. I mean really a lot. I remembered, even when we were little, after we get home from school. Jason will always have little girls calling the house asking for him. Can you believe that? We were just in 2nd grade at that time. Gran will make excuses and tell the girls that his doing his homework which he does, coz that's gran's rule before playing of course. So growing up, we ended up making a lot of bullshit excuses for Jason because of the amount of girls that calls. I know Jason was good looking and smart and he has that charisma that causes those girls seems to go gaga over him but I think growing up around with 2 sisters and gran, benefits him in attracting and dealing with girls.

Lyzel hmmmmmmm…… Lyzel was the perfect sister I could ever ask for. She's the person I can count on in all my girly affairs. Did I mention she's fond of shopping. And whose sister wouldn't want a shopping buddy. She's a very pretty woman. She's 6'tall, blue eyes, blond hair, cut just above her shoulder typically the way she always prefers. She's confident, very mature and independent. She is the perfect girl in dealing with people because she has that persuasiveness quality in her. Although Lyzel looks intimidating sometimes to other people, she's a caring and a very loving sister to me.

Between the two of them and gran, I'm the baby sister of the family. Or should I say they treat me as such. I'm 24 years old now but Jason and Lyzel still call me with that pet name "baby girl". They are very protective of me. Especially that they knew that I have my disability to read other peoples mind. I'm telepathic. My family kept this secret to protect me from people that might try to harm me if they knew I can hear every dirty little secret that they have. Being telepathic limit me from people that I can trust. I have a very few friends that I can truly trust with my secret. My best friend Sam Merlotte and my other best friend Amelia Broadway were the only ones who knew my secret besides my family. Even dating was a disaster too. Hearing my date's thoughts of how to get into my pants, sizing up my boobs or my butt, wondering if I'm blond all the way is very disconcerting to me. Although some thoughts about me are good sometimes, but no matter how good or bad you still don't want to hear it from the person that your trying to get to know or being intimate with, is a really turn off for me and its really hard to trust people if their saying nice things to you but hearing totally different things in their heads was too much for me.

Our grandma Adel raised us since birth. Our mother died giving birth to the 3 of us. And our Dad disappeared after leaving all of his possessions to us a month after our mom died. I understand why mom couldn't be with us anymore but Dad abandoning us that didn't make any sense to the 3 of us. Did he not want us? Did he not love us? How could he just leave and dump us to Gran when were just a month old at that time?

Grandma reassures us that Dad didn't abandon us. Although he didn't raise us he made sure that we are provided. Part of that was true; dad left some small businesses that Grandma also managed on top of raising us. Grandma was a smart woman and luckily she had a lot of supportive friends who helped her in raising us. And for that we are grateful that at least grandma wanted us.

As a repayment for grandma's undying love for us we always strive ourselves to have good grades in school and by staying out of trouble. But every ones in a while Jason's mischievous character resurfaces and trouble can't be avoided. He's also a very defensive person if he knew that he was right. One time Jason went home with spots of blood on his shirt and a little bruised up in the jaw. He went straight to his room so grandma will not see the blood on his shirt. And maybe just made up some stories on how he got the bruise, but the counselor in school made a special trip at the house. Mr. Arteberry was one of grandma's friend. And he told grandma what had happen to Jason in school. Gradma found out that Jason beat up 3 of the high school kids in school and the councilor told Gran that the 3 kids had been suspended in school for 2 days. The councilor told Gran to talk to Jason and he assures her that he is not somewhat in trouble. After he rely his message he quickly excuse himself to take his leave. Lyzel and I was shock, Jason manages to beat up 3 teenagers with only a bruise on the jaw? And also not in trouble?

Gran didn't talk to Jason until before dinner time. Gran made a tradition that arguments and misunderstandings, should be dealt before we sit in the dinner table. So Gran ask Jason to explain what had happen at school and the bruise that now clearly swelling up on his jaw, and Jason clarify himself.

"First things first I apologize Gran if I made you worry and upset. I didn't want to hide this from you gran. I just think it's not a big deal. I didn't intend this to happen. Those boys wait on me in the school parking lot. I was just going to my car when those boys approach me. They told me something about me hitting on his girlfriend and trying to provoke him." A typical Jason drama about girls I thought.

"At first I decided to just ignore him so I turn my back on them. I guess that irritates them more, that I'm ignoring them. I was not in the mood with their bullshit. Oh! I'm sorry gran. But these boys really just pisses me off."

Gran look at Jason in warning for using those words clearly not happy but she urges him to continue.

"So when they realize that I'm not going to make any voluntary comment. They started to mention the girls name he said her name was Selah. Remember Selah Pumphrey, Sookie? From junior high? "

Oh I perfectly remember that name. Lyzel and I got in trouble with Gran when she calls the house one time. This is actually one of our rarely share of trouble that we cause. Lyzel and I sneak out to go to a party to meet with her boyfriend there and me to hook up with her boyfriend's friend Quinn. Quinn was an attractive guy. He's a huge muscular guy and has a rare beautiful deep purple eyes. For some reason I found Quinn's mind a little bit comfortable than other guys. I only get some pictures from his head every ones in a while, that's why our relationship lasted at least a month. Until his sister Frannie ruined everything. Frannie clearly doesn't like her ever since the first time they met. She's jealous whenever Quinn gives her too much attention. She constantly wanted to hang around with her brother and rarely giving them time alone. She is freaking annoying. Although she likes Quinn his sister drives her nuts, so in the end we've broken up. Anyway Selah told gran that she saw us going to a party with a bunch of older guys, and that we've been drinking too. Gran was so mad when we got home. She was not mad that were seeing older guys and she trusted us that we are not drinking. She gets mad because we sneak in the middle of the night and got a call informing her that her granddaughters went to a party without asking permission or informing anybody where we at. Jason got mad at us too. They were only worried that something might have happen to us and they will not have any single clue. So Lyzel and I got a scolding and got grounded for two weeks. Thanks to the big mouth jealous bitch. While I'm having a mental recollection of this, Jason was trying to get my attention. When he sees that he can't get a reaction from me, he continues in his reasoning.

"As I was saying, well I guess Selah's been telling everybody that we're dating. Since she and I are lab partners and we have a biology project to finish, some people that saw us together immediately assume that were dating. So when those boys started to inform me that somebody saw us together I didn't deny it. But before I can explain further more, the boyfriend hit me in the face, but his short so instead he got me in the jaw. They clearly didn't know who they just punch in the face so in my defense they started it and I just finish it." Jason said with a hint of pride for himself clearly not sorry at all.

Oh! Clearly they really didn't know who they messed with. Jason's been training in taekwondo. He decided to do this, you know because he takes his brotherly protectiveness seriously. And Selah was a hypocrite, she clearly hates and jealous of me and Lyzel but now she's trying to hit on Jason? Clearly that girl has an issue.

So after hearing this Gran just told Jason to just try harder to avoid incidents like this. And also just avoid the 3 boys next time he sees them. With us, Gran warn to not get involve about this Selah incident. She knows that we hate that jealous bitch so Gran immediately stamp our chance to execute any vendetta plans that were having in our heads right now. After a few minutes of discussion and everything has been resolved. We seated and ate dinner peacefully, and Gran serve her famous pecan pie. YUM!

******************************

Gran raise us by herself impressively. We all finish our college degrees. I finished my business management course and 2 year fashion designer course .Lyzel finish a marketing major and Jason in advertising major and photography. All the knowledge and skills lead us in opening our own business. But we mostly got inspired by our modeling experience. We try not to burden Gran too much, so at the age of 18 all three of us already had part time jobs here and there doing some modeling. It pays well, we got to dress up in designer clothes, but the best part is we got to travel in different places. We love fashion and clothes, even Jason, but mostly he likes the models. And when we turned 21 we actually open our own business together. A boutique store that we decided to simply named "Fashion Stackhouse". Since we have a lot of modeling experience we mostly do it for our store ads and catalogs, which we save a lot of money doing it ourselves so we rarely hire models for it. I actually do mostly the design of clothes for our store, I also do custom design clothes for special clients but not often and I exclusively dedicate myself just to model my own creations. Since my brother has a way in attracting girls and my sister was really good in persuading people, they usually do the dealings with the clientele. They are also in charge on the outlook of the store from the layout, posters, billboards and anything that involve advertising the store. Jason and Lyzel still do some modeling for other people that hire them. So most of the time I'm the one left in charge to manage our store. Thank God, a few years ago my best friend Amelia decided to invest and joined in the business. I met Amelia when I was taking up my 2 years of fashion designing in New Orleans. She's my roommate for the past 2 years that I've lived there, we've gotten really closed so we kept in touch with each other even when I went back home in bon temps. A year later, she decided to join as a business partner. I offer her to live with me since I was the only one that lives in Grans House. Since she also graduate in fashion designing, she helped a lot in lightening my load of work.

Gran died 3 years ago. She suffers from a heart attack. After gran dies we sold everything including some other small businesses that gran has. The house was the only one we kept. The house wasn't big but has a huge land. We love it so we decided to keep it even though it's too far from our store business. The store was located in Shreveport and it's too much of a drive to work. But I convince Jason and Lyzel that the house holds a lot of memories from our childhood that I can't part from, and also the house has been in the family for centuries. So they let me stay in the house while the two of them goes back and forth to their Shreveport apartment.

I also like to keep the house for another reason; the ranch house wasn't huge but it has a great size land where I can ride my horse. I have a big white horse name "Penelope" I called her "Lope". I have her since I was 12. I don't do equestrian riding competitions; I merely like riding horses, and riding my horse always have a calming and relaxing effect on me. I like the wisp of air in my face and the freedom and ease to just be by myself for a few minutes or hours and enjoy looking at some scenery in and out the property.
