It has been two weeks since my visit with Hannah and Lance. It felt so good to see them and have that little bit of home here with me for a little while. Just as Kendall promised he made all the arrangements for the two of use to spend four days back in Georgia. So right now we are on an airplane heading back to my home state. I hate flying, so all I could do was sit with my eyes closed and my hand securely linked with Kendall's.
"You okay?" I heard him ask. All I could do was shake my head, still refusing to open my eyes. He chuckled softly and gave my hand a squeeze. "Are you nervous?" I nodded still not trusting my voice. "About the flight or going back home?"
"Both"
"Lacy, everything is going to be fine. I will be with you the entire time. I promise I won't let anything happen to you, I am here for you." I felt his lips land softly on my hand, I opened my eyes and looked over at him. He smiled when he saw my eyes opened and leaned in and giving me a reassuring kiss. I smiled.
"How did I find you?" I sighed and leaned my head back against the seat but kept my eyes locked on him.
"We found each other." My heart melting with those words. I moved so I could lean my head against his shoulder and before I knew it my eye lids were getting heavy and I drifted into sleep.
"Lacy, baby wake up. We just landed." Kendall said, I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I can't believe it. I am back in Georgia! We got our bags and went to wait for my parents. I looked around but couldn't see them. Finally I caught sight of my dad's red hair. I took off in a full run and embraced him in a hug. I giggled as he swung me around just like when I was five years old.
"DADDY!"
"Hey LacyLoo! It's so good to see you!" I blushed at the nickname then turned to hug my mom.
"I can't believe I am back here! I have missed you guys!" My mom held tightly to me.
"We're so glad to have you back even if it is just for a few days!"
We chatted for a minute before I realized that I had completely abandoned Kendall. I turned and saw him standing a couple feet behind me. I turned back to my parents, "You guys I want you to meet Kendall. I really like him and without him I would not be here so please be nice!"
My daddy laughed, "Sweets I promise to be on my best behavior." He had a smirk and my mom and I both elbowed him at the same time. He grunted, "OW! Fine! I will be good."
I motioned for Kendall to come towards us, "Mommy, daddy, I would like you to meet my lovely boyfriend, Kendall Knight."
My mom immediately embraced him in a hug, he chuckled and did the best he could to hug her back seeing as he was holding my luggage and his. "It's lovely to meet you, Kendall."
He smiled, "Thank you, Mrs. Young. It's very nice to meet you as well."
"Oh no sweetie, please call me Helen. Lacy, he is a doll!" I giggled when I saw Kendall blush at my mom's comment.
"I know, right?"
"Kendall, nice to meet you, I'm Paul Young." My dad's voice was stern as he reached a hand towards Kendall. They shook hands, "You need some help with those bags?"
"No sir. I'm fine." With that said we made our way to the car. We had an hour and a half ride to our little small town and I was looking forward to showing Kendall certain sites along the way. I kept pointing out spots where Daddy and I would go fishing, or where the group would go to race four wheelers on the weekend. He seemed to embrace everything. Kendall and my daddy got into a sports discussion and I was glad to see that they were getting along and mom definitely approved.
We finally made it to our little house. Our house wasn't fancy but it was my home for twenty one years and I loved it. We got out luggage into my old room and were all sitting out on the front porch talking and having a good time. All of a sudden a car pulled into the driveway. I would know that car anywhere and I tensed. I knew Kendall could feel the change in my attitude but he just looked around confused. Two people got out of the car and approached the porch.
"Hello, Greta, Rick. What do we our this visit?" My dad asked.
"We heard that Lacy was in town and we came by to see her."
I swallowed hard before finding my voice. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Brooks."
Kendall's eyes widened with realization and he moved his chair a little closer to mine and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. I smiled at him and snuggled closer to him needing his support right now and loving the fact that he automatically knew when I needed him. "What are you doing back here?" Mrs. Brooks asked, harshness in her voice.
"Not that I owe either of you an explanation but I came home to visit and to see Will's grave." I told them honestly.
"Do you plan on taking him there?" There was pure venom in Mr. Brooks voice. This just purely pissed me off.
I got up from my seat and when to stand at the edge of the porch right infront of the both of them. "I believe that is my business and it doesn't matter what the two of you think. I loved you both like family. I was there for both of you during everything. You lost any right to have a say in my life the day you both accused me of being a slut and telling me I never cared. Which you both knew was a damn lie!" Emotions ran through me, and I just couldn't stop myself from lashing out.
I felt Kendall come up behind me, wrapping his arms around me, trying to calm me down. Daddy came up beside me. "My daughter has a very good point, she loved Will with everything she had and did every thing you asked of her then for you to treat her like that we lost every ounce of our respect for you. Please leave our property." The tone he held scared me, the Brooks both looked like they wanted to retort but they both turned and went back to their car. I turned in Kendall's arms and started crying into his chest. He rubbed my head and whispered the sweetest words into my ears as I tried to calm down. Well, this is just the first two hours I have been home I can not imagine what other shit will go down.
