Blood Love

I've never known much about my ancestors, other than they were Italian on both of my parents sides. So of course in turn here I am. I'm Jessica, this isn't where I tell you my life was happy. Fulfilling. My life has been full of abandonment, abuse, hate, anger, sadness... I need to focus on when I moved here. Hickory Hills... (Text) Jessica - I finally found a place fore the kids and I. Mom - Thats wonderful hunny, where is it and what is it? Lol! Jessica - Thanks Mom, it's a little town called Hickory Hills. It's a house lol, rent to own kind of thing. Since I'm working from home now it'll be better cash flow so I can afford something nice. :) Mom - Oh that sounds wonderful, how far is it? Jessica - About 6 hours away, not as bad as I thought. Mom - You mean... Um, that's not bad at all Jess. Jessica - Mom? What? ??? Mom - Oh nothing, I just thought you were moving out of state. Just surprised is all. Jessica - Somehow I doubt that, but I'm dropping it right now. Have to get packed for the movers day after tomorrow. Mom - Alright, do you want me to take the kids for a couple days? Jessica - Honestly that would be amazing, thank you. Mom - Oh you're welcome. I'll be over in an hour to get them. Love you. See you soon. Jessica - Ok, getting their stuff ready now. Love you too, see you soon as well. Ugh, she's hiding something once again. I can feel it, like an itch in my mind. Almost unsettling, she's done this since I hit puberty. As has my dad, it's almost like the secrets have been building and every now and then they f**k up. I'm still unsettled when she comes to get the kids. Isabella is 6 and Marko is 4. My little stars. But they have asked me a lot of questions, I answer best I can... Yes we are moving in a few days, yes they have schools there, yes playgrounds also, maybe we can get a dog, yes you will still see daddy so relax. This is good for us. They seem ok, but I know it'll be hard. Their dad Christian and I split up some time ago, but we are good friends so he's helping us move. He will move in a few months for the kids. (conversation) Mom - Ok sweeties lets get in the van. Lets go get grandpa and figure out where to have dinner. Let's go out!!! (kids screaming running out the door) Jessica - Mom you're nuts. Have a good time with the kids. (hands 100 bucks) For extras! :) Mom - Ok dear, love you. See you soon. Jessica - Love you too. (hugs) I'm alone now, the house feels too big too empty. I'll put on some tunes and pack. Relax with some wine later and let the hot tub massage my stress away. Hello all, hope you enjoyed my 1st chapter. Trying to add detail without being too borning. Hopefully you stay with me, thanks for reading! Jemma
