Chapter 10 The Party
The six of us waited in the tent. We waited til about eleven knowing that our parents would be out by then.
"Okay they should be out. Our Mom and Dad are not night owls." Jasmine said as we quickly and quietly made our way out of the tent. The party was about a fifth teen minute walk so we quickly headed to the beach at the lake.
"Hey it's the triplets!" A bunch of people yelled as we came up to the party. We waved and it wasn't long before I felt someone wrap their arms around my waist picking me up. I yelped turning my head to see Beau.
"Beau put me down!!" I squealed.
"Nah ya going in the water." He laughed.
"NO BEAU. My phones in my pocket." I squealed trying to wiggle out of his grasp.
"Okay okay get it out then." He said putting me down. I quickly strip down to my swimming suit that I had put on under my clothes. Beau got an evil smirk and quickly picked me up running to the side of the lake that had rocks around it which was deeper and tossing me in, with him jumping in behind me.
"So short stack how you doing? I heard what happened to ya Ma. I am sorry." He said once we both came back up and stoped laughing.
"Its weird but you know me I just push though." I shrugged.
"I was going to text or call but I haven't had my phone for two weeks."
"What did you do?"
"Got into a big fight with my Mom." He shrugged. "I was playing video games and she wanted to trash to be taken out and I told her hold on to many times."
"Yikes you got it taken away for two weeks over that?"
He laughed "Nah that would have been just a week at most. I got it taken away for three weeks total. When Dad got home and lecture me I got an attitude and then said if she could just fucking weight."
"Yikes yeah I bet that went over smooth than rocks. Your Dad can be scary."
"It didn't and he can be a little bit but y'all's is way worse."
"Nah Pa isn't to bad."
"You have got to be kidding me. Remember two years ago when Jason decked the Dickerson boy?"
"Yeah but he deserved it."
"Yeah he did." Beau laughed. "But y'all's Dad was so mad I almost peed myself. Jason came back out of the trailer walking stiffer than a board. He winced every time he sat down."
I nodded thinking about it. "Yeah that was a bad one. Pa was so mad because Mr. Dickerson said some nasty things about his parenting since he raised a boy who would punch someone." I rolled my eyes at that. The Dickerson's were snobs and his son deserved a lot more than one punch.
"You're shivering let's get out and get you dried off." Beau said grabbing my hand.
"So how is school going?" I asked as we got out of the water and he grabbed his towel wrapping it around me and not him.
"Going okay I guess how about you? Any boys I need to beat up?" He winked.
"It's okay and no." A little bit of a nervous laugh came out. "What about you? Got a girl friend?"
"Nope I was with this girl but she dumped me because I was too busy helping Dad on the farm."
"Yikes I am sorry."
What will kat do when she is faced with the people she and her brother love. Will she be able to choose who she will be with. Or will she leave them all behind? She neve...
"No it's fine." He said shrugging. "Want a drink? I am kind of thirsty." He quickly changed the topic.
"Yeah sounds good."
"Okay I will be right back." He said walking away.
"He is way too old for you Kat." I jumped and turned around to see Sam holding a beer.
"Yeah I know."
"Good cause I didn't want to beat him up. You're flirting a lot with him."
That took me by surprise. "You legitimately don't know anything about me Sampson. I was not flirting." I glared at him.
"Not wanting to toot my own horn but girls at my school tend to flirt with me so I know what flirting looks like." He said glaring back.
"Well toot toot." I huffed "It doesn't matter anyways mine your own business Sampson!"
"You're my little sister, you are my business!" He snarled.
"You two okay?" Beau said as he walked up with a beer in one hand and a red solo cup in the other which he handed to be.
"What the hell dude! She is twelve don't give her a drink." Sampson snatched the cup out of Beau's hands.
"Damn man don't get your panties in a wad it's just root beer." Beau at first looked shocked then glared at Sam. "You know you got a real attitude. Just cause your her brother don't mean anything. I have know her longer and know more about her than you do. Bet you don't know her favorite color or that she is left handed. Do you know that she has sworn to never drink a drop of alcohol because of her mother? I would never and I mean never disrespect her like that. I also wouldn't let her drink even if she wanted to. Like you said she's only twelve. Jason tried to drink last year and I tore into him. I watch those three like they are my siblings. So I suggest you to back up cause I am fixin' to knock your lights out." Beau and Sam had gotten toe to toe glaring at one another.
"I suggest you two break it up right now before you both wound up in bigger trouble then what you're probably already in." A deep voice said from behind me causing the three of us to stiffen. Oh please don't be who I think it is. Is all I could think as I turned around to face Pa. Shit.
"I don't want to hear a word out of your mouths. Katherine go get your clothes, Beau throw that beer away and Sampson go find the others." He ordered and we all three quickly fallowed his directions. By time I got my clothes pulled on over my still wet swimming suit and made my way back to Pa there were other parents there dragging their kids away. Some already crying, and some already got the first few smacks to what I am sure are more to come.
"Beau Stanley Jenson." We heard turning to see his Dad walking our way. "Boy your up shits creek with out a paddle this time. Get your ass to the trailer before I embarrass you in front of everyone." Beau mumbled yes sir and ran off. "Thanks Matt. Good luck man I only have one I can't image three." Mr. Jenson said then turned around and fallowed after Beau.
"Okay you six let's go I need to call Ben." Pa said pushing us forward.
"Mr. Smith please wait til the morning." Wes begged turning to face Pa.
"Sorry Weston but he already pretty much knows. I just have to let him know that I've got you four." Pa said as we walked. He got out his phone and started to call Ben as we got closer. "Yeah.... They can stay in the trailer...... we will make it work...... see you in the morning." He sighed as we got to the trailer. "Okay here's what we are going to do. Katherine and Jasmine will be with me and your Momma. Jason we will make the table into a bed. You three boys should fit on the pull out couch. If not maybe one can squeeze with Jason."
"I am glad your found them." Momma said as she came out from the bathroom. "Katherine go get a shower you smell like the lake. A fast one Katherine Elizabeth!"
"Yes ma'am." I said and quickly did what I was told. Once I got out Momma quickly braided my hair as the others put on their pajamas.
"Everyone one go to bed we will all talk in the morning." Pa had gotten the beds ready for the boys and was now standing with his arms crossed.
We all nodded and went the way we were suppose to. Jaz and I climbed up to the loft that had the king size bed. Getting into the middle, Momma got on the other side of Jaz and Pa climbed in on my side. It kind of took me back to when we were little only Jason would be in the bed too. When there was a storm it would scare the three of us and would climb into bed with Momma and Pa. I felt safe with them even though we got caught tonight and were in big trouble I was happy to be squashed in between my family. I don't know how long I laid awake but before I fell asleep Jason climbed into the bed between Jaz and I. Even though Pa was asleep he wrapped both Jase and I in his arms. I drifted to sleep feeling safe for what would probably be the last time in forever.
