Beneath the Eyelashes

chapter 15

Hey guys...life has been kind of hectic. My family and I are selling our house so ive been kind of busy cleaning and keeping the house nice so when people come over its presentable. And on top of that the second semester has started and some of the classes I have are frustrating and put me in a sad grumpy mood. Plus I'm trying not to write at home so my dad doesn't catch me.

But enough of my whining..lol u probably want to read the story now.

But first I would like everyone to possibly read  "a glimpse between the lines", by ritab7. Because she is doubting her story and is pressured to stop and I believe everyone has the right to ...well...write! So if you could check out her book and possibly comment that would be great and I know it would mean a lot to her and to me.

Allright..im done gabbering..on with the story and my apologize..its really short:

Anna Bells p.o.v:

We were waiting in the airport for our plane to arrive and a part of me wanted to turn around now and run back into his arms where I had felt safe for so many years but the other part of me was determined to not back down. I needed this distance.

I felt kind of bad for takeing Jayla away from her father but its not like its forever, plus I think this experience will be good for her.

"flight 103 to new York will be boarding shortly." a computered voice said over the intercom.

I turned towards Jayla to see her bouncing up and down in her seat smiling.

I grinned back and got up grasping her hand in mine as we walked towards the clerk checkin passports and tickets.

I handed her both of ours and a wave of excited came over me as she smiled at me and handed them back after stamping them.

I smiled back and walked down the hallway thing with Jayla next to me.

After lift off and she was sleeping peacefully I pulled out the envelope that James had  given me.

I slowly opened it not know what to expect.

I tipped the envelope over so the contents would spill out and when a stack of pictures came out I couldn't help but smile.

The first one was of me and all 4 boys on my 10th birthday. James was only 6 at the time and he was sitting in between my logs on the soft grass, Jake was behind me holding up bunny ears behind my head while Josh and Justin were on either side of me there arms wrapped playfully around my shoulders. Those were the days..care free and stupid.

I flipped through the rest of the pictures but stopped when I came to a familular one...one I would never forget.

I had been 7 months pregnant and we were at my house chillen outside at a BBQ my dad was hosting.

Josh had one arm around me while the other was holding my swollen tummy.

A tear started forming in my eyes and I brushed it away. Why the hell was I crying? Pull yourself together Anna Bell!

I put the pictures back in the envelope and leaned my head back in the surprisingly comfy seat and soon drifted to sleep.

______________________________________________

As I yanked our bags through the door to our new apartment, I couldn't help but feel excited.

I let Jayla pick which room she wanted although she would probably end up sleeping with me the first few weeks.

I started unpacking and at the same time I picked out my clothes for tomorrow. My first day of high school in New York!

Most people would be nervous about what people might think of them, but I could really care less what people thought of me. They don't have my life and I wouldn't want them to..it's mine..plain and simple.

I fixed a PB&J sandwich for Jayla and poured her some orange juice, me and her all time favorite drink.

She gave me her cheeky grin as she drank her juice. I couldn't help but smile back.

When she was finished I unpacked her box of clothing and found her famous footie pajamas.

After she was dressed and comfortable, I laid her down in my bed and pulled the blankets up to her chin.

She was already staring to drift off to sleep, so I kissed her forehead and whispered in her ear "mommy loves you princess."

I turned out the light and walked to the bathroom. Or I thought it was the bathroom....it turned out to be the closet. Perfect. I laughed out loud at myself. Wow I was dumb.

Once I found the bathroom I took a long hot shower before jumping into a pair of polka dot pajama bottoms and a tank top.

After that I called my mom and told her I landed safetly and everything was fine. She was a little upset that I left but I promised to visit soon and offered to buy her tickets to some visit us. Of course she refused...saying something about the cost being too much even though she knew damn well dad had a lot of money. She was stubborn like that.

After I got off the phone with her I finally sank down under the nice soft covers and snuggled up next to my girl. And for the first time in a long time I fell asleep not thinking about Josh. Maybe things could change for the better.
