Part 23

I woke early in the morning to see Jim looking over me. Jen had already had a shower and gotten dressed, breakfast was on the table and as soon as i established where i was and what was doing on i was up in a flash. I had a shower, ate breakfast and got ready so fast that Jim was laughing at me. Hurryingly he agreed to get moving right then and there and we rushed out to the car. I thanked Jen's mother, and then realised i forgot to say anything to Jen, who was sitting on the hollywood swing playing a song i taught her the day before.

"Could you wait a few more minutes?" i asked Jim and he laughed commenting on my urgency to leave.. then to stay a little longer.

I walked up to Jen and sat next to her, swinging back and forth slowly.

"I asked mum about school... she said No..."

I sighed.. not knowing what to say. All i could do was put my hand on her knee and sway back and forth a little more.

"We can write.. talk on the phone..."

All she did was nodded when i said that. I kissed her then. It was light, sweet, soft... and i felt a tear stream down her face, on to mine.

"Ill Miss you" She said before getting up and running inside leaving her guitar on the swing. I touched it lightly before standing and moving to the car. Me desire to leave suddenly disappeared.

"C'mon Mate... lets go get your sister" he said renewing my desire to go. My sweet sister.

I got in the car and for hours.. all i thought about was Jen.
