Family Comes First (C)

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

We ate our meal, chatting about everything and nothing; It was nice to just forget my problems and relax. I knew that was what Jason was after and I couldn’t help but appreciate him more. I can’t begin to imagine life without him and I’m not just saying that because I have a crush on him, being without Jason would definitely throw my life off balance. I guess you can say he makes me feel whole.

Is that how Dad feels about Abigail? Either that or something way stronger. Like soulmates!

“You ready?” I nodded and he took my hand again while we left the restaurant. Either Jason is naive or he’s just very good at pretending, there’s no way he doesn’t notice that holding hands and going to restaurants makes us look like a couple. Coming from a girl who got all her romantic ideas from novels. Either way, I was loving the appearance; besides, Jason could leave for school at any moment.

“How long will you be here?&rdq

    “I didn’t mean to.” I burst into tears, reaching over to hug him tight. He hugged me back. “I’m really sorry for being a brat, I wish I can everything I said back.”“It’s okay, my child, It’s fine.”“It’s not!” I drew back. “I have to make it right, I have to bring Abigail back.”“Claire...”“I can find her, please just let me try.” He shrugged.“I’ve called everyone, no one knows where she is. Antonio said he’s tried but she’s just gone.” He exhaled and pinched the tip of his nose. “This feels like when I couldn’t find you and your mom anymore. I’m worried about Abigail, she hasn’t done this before and she’s been in a pretty bad shape since you got into a coma. She told me... she told me she’ll give up on our love if you ask her to, as long as you’re awake and heal

    Just like when I went to Los Angeles with my Aunt and cousins, the plane only had us onboard, when I say “us” I mean, my Dad, Antonio and I. Is it a thing for rich people? Traveling on an aircraft alone? Where’s the fun in that?“No nuisance, that’s the fun.” I turned a frown to Antonio, he could read my mind again. His idea of bonding was to teach me stuff about psychics and now my mind is an open book to him again. Besides that, we could communicate without saying anything and we can share visions too. Well, I guess that’s useful... right?“Get out of my head.”“Make me.” He smirked. I so badly wanted to slap that smirk off.“This is what you wanted, right? To get into my head? Now you can’t tell me how to block you out.” He chuckled.“If you want me out of your head, you’ll figure a way to block me out.”“You...”&ldquo

    Dad wasted no time in getting on one knee and opening a ring-box, the ring we picked out was right there! How did he get it so fast?‘The dude is rich, what do you expect?’ I chose to ignore Antonio. I focused on Dad and Abigail; Abigail’s eyes were already glittering with tears.“Abigail...” Dad began, holding the ring-box up to her. “I know I’ve done this before, but it was never proper and I didn’t keep my promise to you. We’ve been through a lot together and we’ve come a long way too together. I know my love for you is bigger than the whole world, yet it surprises me by growing even bigger everyday.” He paused, taking out the ring. “Will you make all my dreams come through and marry me... this time?” Abigail giggled. She opened up her mouth to reply, but then she shut it and turned to me, as if seeking permission.“Urh, I think the word you’re looking for is ‘Yes&

    “It’s true!” James put in. What in the actual hell? Did they brainwash him?“What did they do to you?”“Nothing. They didn’t hurt me, I promise! They were nice all the time.” He was actually smiling, which was getting me more confused.‘You should read the girl. The only way to find out if they are saying the truth is to read her past.’ Antonio had a point but how do I go about doing it?“Look, I don’t believe you one bit. Gimme your hand.” Jacey ordered. For some reason, she’s especially mean to Tessa. She made to take the girl’s hand but Tessa moved away.“Don’t touch me!”‘Claire, she hates Jacey and you guys are the only ones who can read pasts. Get her to give you her hand.’ I nodded to Antonio’s suggestion. It’s really amazing how someone can communicate secretly; I was loving every bit of it.&lsqu

    “Come on, Tessa, back to bed.” Catherine led the kid back to her room and tucked her in bed.“Who was that man?”“No one you should worry about.” Catherine replied tiredly.“Was he in an accident? Why was he covered in blood?”“Go to sleep, Tessa. I’ll answer all your questions tomorrow.”“Okay...” Tessa’s face fell. “But will he stay here? Who really is he?”“Oh boy!” Catherine muttered, exhaling. “His name is Fred... or urh Frank, he changed his name.”“Why?”“Well, he wanted a fresh start, I guess. The thing is, he’s my cousin but then he got a job and moved to Mexico where he met his beautiful wife Anna.”“Ooh, where is she?” Tessa seemed interested, but I didn’t want to know how that story would end; she’ll definitely feel bad that her Dad blame

    “You’ll be fine, just imagine that she’s your beloved... James, was it?” She turned around triumphantly and made for the door, grabbing her purse and keys on her way out. Frank had a sour look on his face, like he could throw up any second. And the object of his disgust chose that moment to walk into the kitchen.“Good morning!” Tessa said cheerfully to him, climbing a stool. Frank didn’t reply, he gulped down the contents of the soda can and threw the it into the trash can, walking away.“Wait! I need breakfast.” Tessa called after him but he totally ignored her as he made for the sitting room, lying down on the couch.“Hmm...” Tessa jumped down from the stool and went over to stand next to him.“I need breakfast.” She repeated. Frank kept his eyes glued to the ceiling.“I can’t make cereal for myself because I always make a mess and Cathy hates it when I mak

    It was really late at night when they returned in a cab. Catherine helped the weak Tessa down from the cab but when she offered to carry her in, Tessa refused.“You sure you don’t want me to?”“Uh-huh, I’m fine.” Tessa gingerly went for the door and into the house; Catherine was on her heels.They both stopped to look at Frank who was sitting on the rug, looking like his whole life was over.“Tessa? Why don’t you go up and get ready for bed, I’ll be there to tuck you in.”“Urh... okay.” Tessa was hesitant, but she pushed herself towards the stairs.“Can you manage by yourself?” Catherine called after her.“Yes.” She waited until she heard Tessa’s room door shut, before she gave her attention to Frank.“We got you dinner.” She said calmly to him. “Come with me.” When he didn’t move, she actually gra

    “...ess so.” I was staring back at Tessa. I was back in the hospital and everyone was around me but I wanted to go back to Tessa’s past, I needed to know more about Renee.‘Claire?’ Antonio called in my head.‘How long was I gone?’ I asked, telepathically.‘How long? You just took her hand.’‘It felt like months.’ He chuckled in my head.‘Trust me, if it takes that long to read a person, no one would want to do it.’“Are you okay?” I looked back into Tessa’s eyes, so glad I got to meet her. Now I’m one step closer to catching my mother’s killer.‘I think I found out who murdered my mother...’ I said to Antonio.‘I know, did you forget you’re an open book now? Hold her hand with the both of yours and finish that vision.’ I mentally nodded and placed my other hand on Tessa’s.The v

    I was standing in the parking lot, away from the couple I was staring at. Jason... He was holding a brunette's hand... and that hand had a diamond ring on its ring finger.He was freaking engaged?!My heart pounded deeply in my chest. I was too late? But... he was my soulmate, right? Wrong. Probably the same time I stopped believing in soulmates was the same time he seized being mine.He was smiling so fondly at the brunette and I couldn't see her face but I knew she had a big smile as well. "You have no right to be sad... You have no right to be sad..." I kept muttering to myself, over and over again as I worked up the courage to leave there."I don't believe it! It's Claire Wagner!" I stilled when I heard a lady shriek. Other students stopped to stare at me and a few began making their way towards me.I diverted my eyes back to Jason, he and his brunette were staring at me, he looked confused.I turned around and bolted for my car, driving out of the campus. Some crazy fans ran af

    "Hey single lady, come home." I kept staring at my phone. What the actual hell? That jerk has been ignoring me for the past two years and just a few minutes after my boyfriend broke up with me, he sends a text?!I was furious and sad and relieved... God! I just wanted to hug my cousin so badly!Judy's call came in before I could reply to Antonio's text; she had been my personal assistant since I moved to Paris. Emma couldn't come with me because she wanted to be a full time Mom to Shelby and she did say she was getting married in a month to a guy she met.I didn't try getting close to Judy though, she just wasn't as free with me like Emma used to be, she just wanted our relationship to be professional and I didn't mind at all.Of course she wouldn't be calling if she knew I was on a date with Archie, but I didn't tell her and she probably thinks I've disappeared.I picked up."Hey, Judy.""Hello. Where are you?" See that? She's so uptight."I was originally on a date with Archie but I

    "There's my girl!" Archie cheered, hugging me and kissing me firmly on my lips. "I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the award show but I'm proud of you nevertheless." I moved aside to let him into my apartment and he went straight for the glass plaque I had left earlier on the breakfast table."It looks great. Breakout Star, Claire Wagner." Yup! That's me. The newest eighteen year old who has been working her ass off for the past two years, juggling three careers as a model, actress and my all time favourite, a photographer.It hasn't been easy and I can't stress how many times my parents have told me to take a break and come home just to relax, but I've been stubborn like always. Working keeps my mind away from depressing stuff like worrying about Jason who I haven't seen in the last two years and he doesn't even have a social media account, I mean, who doesn't have a social media account?And even Antonio! That dumb jerk gave a stupid excuse and avoided attending my parents wedding, he'

    "Will you be my maid of honour?" I was staring back at Mom, waiting for her to say she's just kidding but she was really waiting for my answer."Me?!" I was surprised. "Are you sure? What about Alice?" I said, gesturing to the other woman who sat next to me on the lounge."I'm married and even if I'm not, you should be her maid of honour." Alice replied before Mom could."Yes, Claire, I want you to be my maid of honour. I can't think of anyone better than you." I was flattered, but of course I wouldn't be if I had seen it before now, but my wacky abilities have deserted me for a while now; even after an entire week after I woke up, I still can't tell the future."Yes!" I said excitedly and Mom hugged me immediately, sighing in relief."Thank you. You know what? This calls for a celebration. How about all three of us hang out together? Like a girls' day out. We could go to the spa, get makeovers, manis-pedis, new hairdos...""Okay that sounds like a mother-daughter outing and I already

    "Are you insane?!" Antonio half-yelled at me. I pretended not to hear him as I ate my birthday cake. After Archie was done with his call, he told everyone we were dating and though my parents weren't so thrilled about it, everyone was cool with it."You can't go from being in love with Jason to being Archie's girlfriend.""I can and that's what I'm doing." I said nonchalantly."Claire, you can't do that.""Why? Archie likes me to bits and I think he's totally lovable, hence, we're dating. And don't forget we already told our parents and they are okay with it.""Your Dad wasn't okay with it, he knows you should be with Jason, he's just being nice.""Which I expect you to be too. Archie is a great guy and Jason is far from my reach anyway. To be honest, I don't think I would have any feelings for Jason if not for that soul mate bullshit.""Bullshit?! Is this why you shut me out? Because you're harbouring crazy thoughts like this?" Antonio was pissed, I knew that but I wasn't going to le

    "That went well." I stilled when I heard Antonio's voice behind me. What was he doing in my room? "Did you forget I can tell the immediate future? I knew the surprise would be ruined and you'd lock yourself up here." Oh, well.I sank to the floor and just hugged my legs. "You're sad, I get it. But look on the bright side...""There's not bright side here, Antonio. I love him yet I told him to get lost. Who does that?!" I hugged my legs tighter. Antonio came over and sat next to me."I don't know what to tell you, all I see is you spending the next two years missing Jason while you figure your life out." Two years?!"It's going to take that long?""You can't see your future?""I can't see anything, my abilities are messy right now. I can only tell the present and read someone's mind.""I see. That's probably because you haven't healed completely from the accident." I sighed."That's not important to me. I'm going to spend a full two years without Jason? Will we ever get back together?

    "Claire?! Wait!" I didn't listen to Jason, I kept walking until I got to the car. He caught up to me."What happened? Are you okay?""I want to go home. Can you take me home?" I avoided his eyes."Yes, but what really happened? Did my mom say something...?""Just forget it. Like I said, I'm tired." He exhaled and unlocked the car. We both got in.I didn't say anything while he took me home, I could very well feel his eyes on me, but I kept my eyes away from him all the time."Look, I'm sorry about my Mom, I'm definitely sure she said something to you. She can be a little uppity sometimes but..." Oh, he got that one right."Don't apologize, she didn't do anything wrong.""Oh, okay." We were quiet for a few minutes more. I knew what Antonio expected me to do, break it up with Jason; and the easiest way to do that is when he thinks I don't remember him. I didn't want to, I really didn't want to but Jason has a lot planned out for himself and I'm just a roller coaster of drama and danger,

    "Claire?!" I turned away from Jason to Aunt Miriam.Uncle Mark's family was all the distraction I needed to get my mind off Jason... and his lips. Well, at least for the meantime.Kevin was an adorable kid, he looked every bit like Aunt Miriam and Jane tried acting a bit mature to impress me, but she was still the cute little girl I know. Of course they were glad to have me, especially Tyler, it wasn't even as if I've been in a coma for years, they acted like I've only been gone for a week.Uncle Mark was happy Renee got what she deserved but he didn't know about my abilities, none of them did and I wondered why Dad didn't say anything. There are family after all."You ready to go? Mom's expecting us now." Jason whispered to me. I was playing dress-up with Jane and Aunt Miriam."Yeah." I apologized to Jane and Aunt Miriam, I had to promise to return before they let me go and I was back in the car with Jason."So, you said your Mom lives with her dogs, right?""Yeah.""Did she explain

    It's my birthday? I pulled away to check my phone, it was really the second day of April. I'm sixteen!I crushed Antonio in another tighter hug, excited."I'm sixteen!""You sound like you've waited a long time for that, even after you skipped two whole years." I ignored Antonio's teasing and got off the floor."I'm happy because I finally remember Jason and now that I'm sixteen, my Dad won't mind me dating some..." A knock on the door interrupted me."Uhm, Claire? Can we talk?" It was Jason. I made for the door but Antonio blocked my path. Great! They still had a beef."It's not about that, trust me." Antonio said in a whisper. "You've regained your memories, I have no reason to stay mad at him, it wasn't even his fault to begin with. I'm stopping you because you can't tell Jason you remember him. Pretend you don't remember him, I have a reason." That's crazy! I just hurt his feelings out there and two weeks ago, I was about to tell him how I feel about him, why do I have to stop now
