~Chapter 21 - Build~

Sunday May 29th, 6:39 a.m.

Cabin No.2

Jaz stumbled into the kitchen in red shorts and a Guns 'n' Roses t-shirt. Her dark auburn hair was a bird's nest, her face puffy, her eyes red and droopy. She hated being woken up early. Especially when she'd had a bad night's sleep.

It made her very grumpy.

“Jaz, this is-”

“What time is it?” she grumbled, cutting off Edda as she squinted at the kitchen clock through heavy eyelids. Her eyes widened as if she'd been splashed with cold water. “What the hell?! I don't think I've ever been up this early in all my life!”

She snapped her head around at the sound of a giggle. Three girls in the living room gazed back at her, each one of them unable to hide the fact they found her reaction strange and yet, hilarious. It was written all over their faces.

Skye was sitting on the armchair her pale legs propped on the corner of the coffee table.

A girl with a bright, wide smile was sitting on the three seater back-to-front on her knees, with her elbows resting on top of the cream, leather backrest. Her long, wavy hair was the same colour as Edda's sandy brown and was tied to one side in a loose ponytail.

The other girl was standing by the fireplace. She peeked up at Jaz below her solid bangs. Her honey-blonde mane was thick and poker straight; her olive-green eyes were framed neatly with black eyeliner and her pursed lips were painted with a luminous, peach lipstick.

From the short glance Jaz sent their way, she could see the two girls were sisters because apart from the hair and make up -or lack of- they looked almost exactly the same.

She cleared her throat, embarrassed. Turning to Edda, she muttered, “Why did you wake me up so early?”

Edda smiled. She leant against the worktop. “I told you I was gonna work you hard. You'll have to get used to getting up this early and sleeping when I tell you to sleep.”

Jaz rolled her eyes.

Skye stood up and walked over to the breakfast bar, her wavy hair bouncing in the confines of it's hair grip. She leant against the bar and beamed at Jaz.

Jaz smiled back.

Edda sighed. “As I was saying before you got your pants in a twist... This,” she pointed to the bright-smiling girl on the sofa, “is Kenna, and Kelda,” she pointed to the golden blonde by the fireplace. “My daughters.”

Jaz glanced at Edda with surprise. She couldn't imagine Edda having two grown up daughters. They must have been about Jaz's age, maybe a few years younger.

“Kenna is my eldest. She's twenty-one. Kelda will be nineteen next month. They've been looking forward to meeting you.”

Jaz bit down on her lip as she glanced at them. She'd lashed out at their mother without even realizing they were related. Her cheeks grew hot.
