The Chosen Son

Chapter 39

In the morning my alarm went off as I was about to move I realized I was still locked in Rivers embrace. He moved to sit up and reaching over me and shut it off as I rolled a little to lay on my back and looked up at him. Still confused and wondering what he was going to say about why he was in my bed. But he didn't say anything, he just got off the bed and picked up the shoes and walked toward the door and left. I ran my fingers through my hair so confused and frustrated about him, I swear he has two personalities, one that hates me then one that might or I guess I hoped wanted me in some way.

"oh good you're up, you still have to go to school get up and come down to eat breakfast we have something to talk with you about" my mother said coming in the room clearly missing the fact River had just slept in here with me the entire night and or my expression of complete confusion

I got dressed in a complete daze form last night and this morning, like who does that sleep with someone, then not say a word and just walk out. I was eager to get down stairs as maybe River action last night have something to do with what my mother wanted to talk about. I walked into the kitchen as my dad River and my mother were discussing where to go after school. I walked and sat down and picked up some toast and nibbled on a corner, I wasn't sure if I should say something I felt so awkward.

"Jane, I don't want to hear any arguing about this" my father said as my stomach turned and I got a bit angry I hated being told what to do it makes me so angry " after school you and River will attend dance class" he said as I rolled my eyes

"um why, I already took lesson" I said as my mother glared at me

"Jane, River need to learn everything isn't always about you" he said I rolled my eyes

"that doesn't explain why I have to go" I said remembering when I was listening to conversation my dad, Gino and River had once when I pretend to sleep "I'm sure he can find one of his willing whore's to with him" I said starting to get up I was over this conversation

"Jane sit down" my father said in a very loud irritated voice as I debated ignoring the request but sat down "you will go to the lesson" he said irritated through gritted teeth

"why I already know how to dance, it's ridiculous to make me go" I said, shouting back

"Jane River is your body-guard, where he goes, you go with him" he said, rubbing his head

"well that's not my problem that yours for forcing me to have a stupid body-guard in the first place and for choosing this baboon who can't dance" I said fuming mad

"Jane, I'm done with the conversation, you will go, you will participate. This little rebellious act is getting real old and you need to grow up and take some responsibility Jane" he said as I glanced at my mother who seemed disinterested in what happening just eating her food as River did the same "you're going to be 18 soon and need to start acting like it, this family isn't just about you and your privileged life I have provided for you" he said as I glared at him he really irritated with the control aspect

"are we done I have to go to school" I said getting up and leaving the room

River didn't say anything the time as I stormed out the house, he didn't say anything the entire trip to school, never speaking to the whole school day. Which made the studied dance lesson really awkward and irritating. Once home, I did in my room until I was forced to come down to eat dinner where I sat silencing eating as River and my dad chatted about stupid things. I left the room promptly not want to socialize with any of them, it was irritating and upsetting I just wanted to be alone. Working on class work before laying in bed again playing on my phone as I heard my door opening again.

Closing my eye, hoping to avoid whoever it was, hearing footsteps coming closer to my bed and the lamp turning off and footsteps walking away. The other side of my bed dipped down, as the blankets were moved and I felt River arm once again wrap around me. I almost thought about pushing him away after the way he treated me all day. But I didn't it, in some sick way I wanted him here with me as his lip pressed against my skin I felt the familiar tingling gull rip through my body almost worse than before and I nestled in closer to him and fell asleep listening to his breathing.
