Ficlets

School was just starting and I was already looking plumper. I saw Jack with another girl. ” That little.” I stopped myself short thinking of the plan. This is the plan our parents made up after learning what had happened. Jack’s mother with this uncontrolable crying, Jack’s father yelling, my mother speaking calmly and my father not speaking at all. Our parents were upset. We were listening from the staircase, while our lives were decieded for us. The night played out poorly untill my father spoke.
“Delilah and Jack will move into our house while Jack is trained to work for me. The kids will live here untill the baby is grown. They will get married and live a happy life. ” And then he left.
I will not obey the plan because Jack doesn’t love me and I certainly don’t love him!
