Lights Out
. It was a very hot day in Louisiana. music was being played, everyone gathered around dancing. Laughter filled the air. "Oh sha, it's a real shame you leavin us." Grandpa Al said. "Oh dad, Ill come visit, and I'll bring the boys and Coraline to see ya, I promise." I said. My husband had got promoted in a business project in North Dakota.
" Nathan, go get Coraline and put her in her car seat, will ya." I said, giving my grandpa one last hug. My grandpa was the one who raised me when my parents passed away in the car accident. He had lost my grandmother the same year to cancer. "Come on Kate, the movers just called." My husband rick said. As we're miles far away Louisiana, we see a whole new secretary of cold winter snow.
"Michael got a girlfriend, oooo, I love Rebecca." Grant said, mocking his youngest brother. "pass here, let me see." James said, reaching over and grabbing the picture and started to laugh. "Give it back!" Nathan screamed. "Boys! enough! give ur brother his picture back this instant!" I yelled, massaging the side of my head as the headache occured. I don't see how my daughter, the baby of the family could sleep through all the noise. I swear she was just like her father, sleep through anything, he couldnt even hear the fire alarm.
"Home sweet home." rick said, pulling in the driveway. For some reason, the house looked like an abandon horror house. the street was was queit, no one was outside. "Do they even have light in there?" asked, grant. "no, son, your mom and I brought some candles the other day until the lights get turned on tomorrow rick said. "The life of horror.." James mumbled. "Hey, James, snow...you know what that means?" grant asked james. they both said it together. "Snow babes!"
"Ok you two go grab them boxes and put them in to the livingroom." I said shaking my head, those boys, what am I gonna do with them. I reach for Coraline and walked into the house. It surely had to be deeply dusted, and floors swept. Definitely need to be repainted, the wall paper was out dated. After everything was settled, we sat by the fire place. the kids was fat asleep on a king size air mattress, me and rick was fast asleep on the couch, it was nice and warm in the dusty old house. I started to dream of my parents being in the accident, I quickly woke up with my heart racing. "Rick." I wishpered. "Rick wake up." I wishpered again, shaking him a little bit. "yeah baby, bad dream again?" he asked. "Yeah." I said. rick kissed me on my farhead and surrounded his arms around me tighter. "look, we in a new place, new start, everything is gonna be okay, I promise, get some sleep, we got a long day ahead of us tomorrow." he said. I layed my head on his chest and fell fast asleep.
The morning came and rick had left early for work, I cooked, bacon, eggs, pancakes and biscuits. "mmmm." Nathan said, as he walked in and sat at the table. "Good morning sugar." I said, putting his plate on the table. " "Mom." Nathan said. "Yeah baby." I said. "Can I stay home today?" Nathan asked. I laughed a little. "No, you have to go to school, ain't you excited about a new school, new friends." I said. "Everyone teases me." Nathan said. "Aw honey, maybe this school will be different and make lots of friends, you'll see, now eat up, we gonna be late, Grant! James!" I said. "I'm coming, jeeze." Grant said, grabbing the plate from me. "Morning losers." James said. "James." I said giving him a stair. "I'm just kidding." James said. As the boys was eating, I was feeding Coraline. After I dropped coraline off at day care and grant and James off at high school. "Mom do I really have to go, can I just stay with you." Nathan wined. "come on now, you have to be a big boy now, Rebecca will want to hear all about it when you get home I'm sure." I said. "wish she was here." Nathan said getting out the car and walking into school. I pulled and got home. I sat by the fireplace and sip some nice warm tea.
meanwhile rick was in a meeting with his boss. "How's the first night in the house. " Ricks boss asked. " It a little dusty, but it'll do, kids and wife are happy, so we'll make due." rick said. "Good, so we just need you to put a presentation together for Friday, having the supermarket into a mall will be a great success, do you have a model to show?" the boss asked. "Yes, matter fact, I have it right her." rick said pulling it out a box. "ah, perfect, I think this presentation will be a success huh." the boss said. "yes." rick said.
When it was time to get the kids, I stopped at the day care first. "Hello, is coraline sleep, she didn't sleep much last night, I'm here to pick her up." I said. "Your husband picked her up, and told me to let you know." The receptionist said. "oh ok, good, thank you." I said. "have a good day." she said. I then went picked up the boys and got home. while the boys was doing homework, I was in the kitchen making dinner. Rick walks through the door. "mm,...
