In September

chapter 10

I took off early and got her medicine well because Grace made me , i thought the only people that get morning sickness are pregnant. i pulled up outside her apartment and waited for her.

she wore blue boyfriend jeans, a black shirt, flat shoes with her hair in a messy puff and only Carried a small bag.

where are your bags? i asked.

i have everything i need am a light traveler, can we get going? she said. passing me her bag and she got in the car and off we went.

I bought you medicine, i thought you might need some, i said.

Oh thank you, that's so thoughtful of Grace, she said. I used my money to buy them. i tried to argue, because Grace threatened you, she said. i must admit Grace scares the life out of me.

You should see how her boyfriend humbles himself when shes mad, she literally shakes the earth, i feel bad for her boyfriend, she let out a small laugh and stared outside.

Cold morning breeze blew through her hair, ray of sunshine from the raising sun shine on her face making her skin glow, i must admit she has become pretty or she has always been just never really noticed, i stared down her neck that's when i saw it the scar caused by the wound i saw seven years ago, even though part of it healed. Now that i think about it she has always kept her hair low at the office.

Are you going to keep staring at me and end up in a tree? she asked loosening her hair.

Am sorry i didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, you don't have to tie your hair. i said.

she plugged her headphones on, increased her volume and faced away.

i don't know how much she suffered but it made her insecure about everything, i feel her sadness and her loneliness, i wish she finds someone to make her feel free around, wait why am i concerned she's not my problem anyway, my focus is to deal with mother and get over with this.

finally the eight hour drive ended and she slept the entire way, when we got home my mother was standing by the door.

Hey we are here,

finally, she said.

don't forget the plan, i said.

I wont you don't need to worry am not a kid, she said and left the car, she was welcomed by my mother and my step father, once in the house.

Oh my You are beautiful, my mother praised Allie.

thank you Mom. she replied.

See she's already calling me Mom, honey please pick a date they have to get married as soon as possible, she joked.

Mom which room is for Allie? i asked still carrying the bags, oh you and Allie will be sharing the room i invited your Aunts and cousins too,

What? mom why would you invite so many people, and Allie and I are not married we cant share a room, i protested.

I want them to know that my son is not gay and she's your fiancee not strangers, now stop complaining and take the bags i want to talk to my daughter, she said and took Allie away.

this will hunt me i thought.
