“I don’t see how you two could forgive her so easily.” He says.
“We didn’t, it took a lot of time to forgive her. Look this just didn’t happen over night. But she is in our lives and I need you to stop yelling at Chris about it. Be happy for him, we only wanted to warn you because she will be coming to Thanksgiving dinner and I didn’t want you having a heart attack when she walked in.” We both start laughing.
“Okay, I’m sorry. I guess I jumped the gun on this one. But if I hear her say one bad thing about you I’ll not think twice before I hit her.” He jokes and then asked to talk to Chris again.
As I walk back down the hall I hear Chris laughing, well at least that’s over. I climb back into bed and tell Justin everything that happened. He said he didn’t bother to get up because he knew who Chris was yelling at. But he was surprised that I fixed everything. Scot can be a stubborn ass when he wants to be, but he has never been anything but nice to me. I guess it just takes the right person to explain everything, Chris wasn’t that person.
Most people think that Thanksgiving is just a day to eat and watch football, well yes and no. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into cooking a big dinner like this, and it can’t all be done in one day. I had most of the side dishes done the day before and all I’ll need to do is reheat them. I’m in the kitchen looking over my to do list when the door bell rings. I asked Tammy to come over early to help me out, Chris said he liked that we were getting along so well.
“Chris, let Tammy in please!” I yell into the living room. The guys are glued to the TV, the list of football games for today is ridiculous.
I hear the door open and then Chris scream. “Get the fuck out of here!” This sent me running to the door. Scot was already standing beside Chris.
My face went white when I saw who was standing there. John! What is he doing here? How did he get our address? So may things are going through my mind right now. I feel Justin standing beside me and I look over at him. He looks just as shocked as I am. I take a deep breath, I need to be strong for him, he needs me now.
John and Chris are having a stare down and no one is winning. I take Justin’s hand and walk us over to stand by Chris. A united front, that is what we are.
“John, I think you need to leave.” I say as calmly as I can.
He looks over at me and gives me the creepiest grin. “Well Flower, I guess you think that since everyone else listens to you that I am going to too. Sorry sweetheart but that’s not happening.” He chuckles “I came to talk to my brother.” He turns to look at Justin.
“I have nothing to say to you, now go.” Justin growls.
“I need five minutes of your time, and don’t worry I’m not asking to come back to the band.”
“Justin, you two could talk in the guest room.” I whisper to him. He hugs me and without a word points for John to follow him.
I look at Chris who looks like he is ready to murder something, well someone that is. I ask Scot to go take a walk with him but to take his phone with him, they agreed and left a minute later. I couldn’t hear any voices so I guess that means they aren’t fighting right? I know Justin would yell at me for calling his mother about this but I still did it anyways.
“Happy Thanksgiving Flower, how are you dear?” She answers so happy like. Crap, this is going to mess up their day too. But I have to tell her.
“Rachael, John showed up at my house just now.” I wait but she says nothing, but I can hear her breathing. “Chris told him to leave, as did I, but he said he needed to talk to Justin. They are in our guest room right now. I know they will both be pissed that I called you but I didn’t know what else to do! I don’t even know how he knew where we lived!” I’m starting to shake now.
I hear her call Mike’s name then she tries to tell him what is going on, he takes the phone from her. “Flower are you okay? What did John say? Did he threaten you?” Mike’s worried voice is scaring me to death.
“No, he didn’t threaten me. He just showed up and said he needed to talk to Justin. They are still in the guest room but I can’t hear anything because I’m in the kitchen. He really upset Chris, I made him take a walk to calm down while your sons talked. Mike I hate to say this but I really am scared of John. I don’t know why but he scares me to death!” I take a peak out if the kitchen door and can’t see anything.
“Flower I need you to hang up and call
