"Lets go." she said as she turned on the car and drove away towards her house. "This hasn't happened in a while has it?" she asked.
"No, the last time was almost a year ago." I said with a sad look on my face. "I think it freaked them out a lot. they probably don't remember the last time it happened very well. poor kids." I looked back at them in the back seat listening to their iPod.
"OH, hay did you get your dad's keys?" she asked.
"Yah. don't want him him causing any more damage then hes already done. We've already had 2 tragedies." I said with a sad tone in my voice.
"Poor kids. they sure love that iPod you got them!" she said, clearly trying to change the subject.
"Yah. I'm glad I got it for them. I had to work my butt off for it but it was well worth it!" I said trying to laugh a little.
"Ha-ha Yah." she said as we pulled into the driveway. "Ok were here! you guys ok? you've been really quiet." Dr. Martinez said to the back seat.
"Well, she fell asleep" Gazzy answered.
"well lets get her in bed then!" I said as I opened the sliding door to the minivan. Angel was leaning on Gazzy's shoulder. I lifted up her head so Gazzy could jump out and once he was out I picked her up so that her head was resting on my shoulder. we walked in to find the boys and nudge still at the table and nudge was talking about something that had to do with clothes. I walked to a guest bedroom at the end on the hall and set her down in the bed and tucked her (and Celest, her teddy bear) in.
When I came back out Gazzy had already taken a seat at the table next to Iggy who was fixing a plate for him "It was so cool! The truck practically flew over the other cars!" he said excitedly. Apparently trying not to think about Jeb.
Fang stood up and walked over to me "hay, can we talk for a bit?" he asked.
"Sure," I replied as we started twoards the back door. We went to the tree we were sitting in earlier and got back up to the low branch we were sitting on.
"So...whats with your dad? Why are you guys here?" he asked.
"My dad is drunk. Almost 4 bottles of scotch. We cant be around him when he is like that. he just starts yelling at us. when mom was here she would help keep him in check. But she always said if anything happened to her, to just get the little ones out of the house and away from him." I explained.
"Wheres your mom?" he asked.
"Oh yah, you were still in England when that happened weren't you?" I sighed, "her and Ella are dead. They were killed in a car accident while Jeb was driving. He lied to my mom and said he only took a sip of the liquor and showed her the freshly opened bottle so she let him drive. That was his third bottle. he was speeding a lot and crashed into a tree. killing everyone but himself." just talking about this was making me mad.
I looked over at fang who looked about as mad as me.
FANG POV
I cant believe I stayed in England while all this was happening! The main reason I wanted to come home was because I when I asked how max was doing in a phone call with Iggy he said she was doing fine but his tone of voice was sooo not convincing. I got worried and decided to get kicked out so they would have to send me home. That and I just plain missed her. I had no idea how bad it had gotten.
I can understand why she looks so angry right now. "Well he is a total ass. Don't worry about him. He doesn't deserve to be worried about after what hes done!"
unbelievably short change in POV huh? and yes grammar still sucks, and like every other thing related to conventions...yes i know all that..... and that is a VERY good idea for me to get a beta (any volunteers?) and i would be using microsoft word but its not working so im using open office....
thanks for the suggestions and stuffs!will still probably need help because i am only in 8th grade......
