Chapter 239
“There are like twelve…”
“Yeah, grandma had eleven siblings. The women moved on with their mates. Penny has been trying to
track them down to see if we have any other family out there.”
“Did dad not know?” I looked at Colt.
“He wasn’t sure. It wasn’t a priority for him at the time and when things started falling into ce, he had
to seal this ce up so it would be safe.”
It was all I could do to nod. Things must have been really bad for him to felt the need to preserve this
ce. The front door opened and Jacob walked in. As soon as his eyes locked on mine, I ran up to him
and hugged him tightly. He returned my hug, wrapping his arms tightly around me. It had been so long
since I seen him and it just dawned on me how much I missed him. I missed our friend group. I missed
getting pizza at the parlor, or going to the club.
“Hey, Ice.” Jacobughed as he let me go.
“It’s been a long time since I seen you. I tried to give him a smile.
“I know. You have been… busy.” Jacob reached around him and pulled Sherry against him.
“Sherry. It’s good to see you.” I immediately felt bad for hugging Jacob. I knew she had a rough time
epting him and I’m sure seeing him hug another girl wasn’t easy. Especially one that she only had
met
like twice.
“I’m good. I really like being here and Jacob and I have reallye a long way in this short time.”
Sherry
looked up at Jacob. “I’m sorry for your loss.” She said after a moment and looked back at me.
After a moment of silence, Penny spoke up. “Would you like to continue to tour?”
Alec was just standing in the corner with his hands in his pockets, just letting me take it all in. Jacob
walked up to Alec and shook his hand as I followed Penny down the hall.
“That is a bathroom.” Penny turned the light on. It was directly behind the kitchen wall. It was a basic
bathroom with the same wooden floor. The vanity was light blue with a white counter top and a blue
sink.
The toilet was light blue and so was the tub. She had it decorated in a water theme with she-shells and
sea-horses on the shower curtain.
“Here is the master bedroom with on-suit and this is the stairs.” There was a door next to the bathroom
When penny opened it, it revealed a massive bedroom. There was a four-poster bed with whitece
hanging down. The bed was made with a white downforter. There was probably a dozen pillows of
front and center and was all hand stitched.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Picking it up, I smelled it. It didn’t have a smell to it. “Do you want to keep that?” Colt asked.
Looking at it, I traced the letters. “No, it should stay here. I’m not a Jeffrey anymore.” Setting it back
down, I saw double doors. It was open enough that it was a closet and I’m sure the bathroom went
under
the stairs.
Colt opened the door to the stairs. Only Penny and Alec followed me. I noticed Jacob and Sherry sat
down on the couch, as if to give us space. The L-shaped stairs opened up into a living area. There was
a couch and few rocking chairs with pink and blue baby toys. Matching ymates sat along the wall
with matching teething toys or rattlers. The only difference, one was blue and one was pink. There was
huge
windows that over looked a backyard and into the forest.
The wooden floors kept going but was covered by arge colorful rug. It had the rainbow on it, the
numbers and different toddler stuff on it. It seems our mother was making this our y room. Her
excitement caused her to get things that we didn’t need yet. It was like looking at a could-have-been
life.
“There are bedrooms down here.” Colt said as he walked out of this room and into a hallway. We
followed him to the first bedroom. It was covered in a light pink with a dark stained wooden crib against
the far wall. A changing table and dresser each imed a fall with decals of different flowers on the
walls. The crib set was pink and purple flowers with a matching nket hanging off it. Like the rest of
the house, arge rug at in the middle but continued the floral theme mom apparently picked out for
me.
