he stopped and looked at Chris, knowing that something was up by the way he banged away at his keyboard.." Chris what on earth is going on, you nearly decapatated me with your backpack"
Christopher stopped in mid-type and slowly turned around glaring at Drew.. Drew cringed a bit but glared back.." Chris I mean it, you need to tell me what is going on I can't help unless you do" he went and sat on the bed not taking his gaze off of him..
Chris closed his eyes and took a calming breath.." Jessica was suspended from school today, the principal called me to the office to bring her right home.. we got to the parking lot and she took off" he took another breath.." She has one hell of a mouth on her the last little while too, I sware had I caught her she would have been sorry"
Drew blinked and blinked again.." she was suspeneded? why? for what?" he was shocked beyond belief as this was not Jessica, she treasured every moment that she had at school and spent every spare second she could there.
Drew was taken back, Jessica was the politest kid he knew, always helpfull.." When is she doing this, I have never heard her yell at anyone" he asked shaking his head.. Chris turned around abruptly glareing.." Oh yeah I forgot, she won't sware or scream and yell in front of you, casue she knows you'd freek at her" he hissed..
Drews expression hardened and he glared back at Chris.. Chris turned back around again.." Christopher I suggest you not take that tone with me, I simply asked a question.. as for Jessica, when she gets home, she won't be a happy camper"
Chris nodded.." I'm sorry, i didn't mean to yell at you, I am just frustrated is all" he muttered.. Drew got up moving over to him he layed a hand on his shohulder.." Its fine Chris, just don't do it again or you will find yourself grounded" with that he turned and walked out of the room closeing the door..
Jessica rounded the cornor and slowly made her way up the steps and over to the window, peering inside she didn't see anyone and sighed with relief.. Opening the door she quietly walked inside and shut it hoping no one was home. Turning around she walked right into Drew and screamed jumping about 5 feet off the floor..
Drew suppressed a smile..she looked up at him catching her breath.." Drew don't do that, you scared the heck outta me" she said walking past him and into the livingroom.. drew followed
" Jessica stop right there" Drews tone was commanding, she stopped and turned around.." Drew I 'm sorry I 'm late, I was at Lori's house trying to finish a project that is due tomorrow" she lied,oh how she lied.. Drew raised an eyebrow at her.." Well thanks, but what I really want to know is why you were suspended from school" he inquired patiently.
jessica was stunned for a nanosecond..she figured that Chris was gonna tell one of them if not both of them, she bit her lower lip and turned around.. going to the livingroom seemed like the right idea, it would give her some time to think about how to explain this..no luck though as Drew stepped in front of her..
" jessica I asked you a question, I want an answer" his words clipped, boardering on the angry side.. she looked up at him.." I was mad, 'cause Miss.carrington gave me a detention after school" she looked away, knowing that it was better not to lie about this..Drew looked at her shaking his head in disbelief..
"Why did you get a detention in the first place, Jessica?" she sighed, she really didn't want to explain all this to him, not now anyway.." I..ummm.. didn't get my homework done all week and she was angrey" she looked away from him.. drew nodded trying not to look so astonished.." ok now that I know why you received a detention, why were you suspended?" his tone stern..
jessica refused to meet his gaze and just stared at the floor.." I..umm.. I swore at her" she whispered barely audible..Drew closed his eyes for a moment then opened them.." What did you say jessica, I could not here you".. she groaned .." I swore at her, ok I was mad and I swore at her" she said again..
drew lifted her chin with his finger making her look at him..she was close to tears.." Not an excuse, you know better, what has gotten into you..and to hear that you have been screaming and yelling at Christopher and swareing also..STOP!.." his voice began to raise as he continued.." When Chris says for you to do something, DO IT!!" he was yelling now..
Jessica turned around away from him and Drew pulled her back gruffly and glared at her.." I am beyond angrey jessica, I KNOW you and this is not YOU.." she shuddered, Drew never yelled and she was scared.." you young lady are grounded for 1 week, now get your tail upstairs... NOW!" he emphasized the his last word
anger flashed in her eyes " That is soooo not fair Drew, i was suspended for 1 damn day and you ground me for a week" she threw her book bag on the floor and stomped away.. Drew blinked, who was this and what had they done to his sweet little sister..." Not fair is going from one to two weeks, if you don't stop now, young lady" He said calmly..
" Whatever, I don't care" she screamed as she took off around the cornor and right into Aaron.. he looked down at her as she looked up to see which one of them it was she ran into ..."Really?, you don't care?.. well you are gonna start careing, I am making it 3 weeks and you WILL apoligize to Drew now, because I am not as nice and you know it" His voice was raised, his gaze was stern
Jessica turned around and looked at Drew.." I'm sorry, Drew".. Drew smiled " its all right Jessica".. she smiled a little back.. Aaron Looked at her.." that was fine, now go to bed as you were told" he said crisply.. She took off up the stairs.." leave me alone!" she yelled.. " jessica that is not going to help you, STOP NOW!!" he yelled after her.. she got to her room and slammed her door..
Downstairs Aaron walked into the living room and sat down.." What she needs is her ass tanned Drew and one of these days believe me it is going to happen and she is not going to like it" he said annoyed.. drew looked at him and shook his head.." Aaron its not going to help any, and you know I don't like it" he said coldly..
Aaron looked up from examining the lint on his slacks.." Drew it will to help and you know it, and I know it.. if we don't do something now its gonna get worse, and I will not have Sarah coming over and taking after her aunt..its just not gonna happen Drew, I won't let it" he was angrey and got up starting to pace the floor..
Drew shook his head.." Fine, but I don't have to like it, I don't like hurting her" his own frustration starting to show in his voice.." I would like to know what has gotten in to her however, this is not like her" Aaron nodded.." I know what you mean, I am worried about her..I would expect this from Christopher, not from Jessica" Aaron quickly turned and headed up the stairs..."what are you doing?" Drew asked.." Going to find out exactly what is wrong with Jessica" Drew sighed and sat back shaking his head.. he didn't have a good feeling about this, no not at all..........
