A Lost Angel

"Jane, please……. all we do any more is fight and argue, and all she tells me is how much she hates my guts. For God sake we have two children together and she doesn't even love me!"

"Figure your own problems out Jason, you’re a big boy now, not my little brother that I still have to baby-sit!"

He pleaded, "Jane, this isn't a normal argument anymore. I'm afraid I might hurt her or she might hurt me!"

"Fine this is your first and last chance, screw up and it’s your ass. I will call you later."

About an hour later, a big dark blue Ford pickup pulls in the drive, its Jason. The bed of the truck was filled with what looks like his entire life!

"Jason, what are you doing here!?" Jane asked in a suspicious voice.

He smirked, " Well I thought because you love me so much I'd move in today!!!"

"Well that means you get to baby-sit tonight, when I go to work. You’re lucky I love you!"

"That’s fine. I love those little angels! I haven't had any time to see them lately because of work!"

Jane yelled for the girls to come out and see their uncle. Lindsey is the oldest, out of the two of them, she is 13 and her little sister Kayla is 8.

"Ok, lets go inside for lunch every one." Jane walked into the house with her daughters.

"Mom, how long is Uncle Jason staying with us?" Lindsey wined.

Jason peeked around the corner, "What is your problem? Don’t you love me any more? I haven't seen you guys in like a month!" followed by giggles.

Kayla and Lindsey ran upstairs to Kayla's bedroom.

Kayla whispered, " God, can you figure out what is wrong with Jason?"

Lindsey replied, " Ya, I’ve noticed it to, there is really something wrong with him."

" He seems really depressed, and I am kinda afraid to be left alone with him when mom goes to work!" Kayla told Lindsey like she was truthfully afraid!

"Girls get down here lunch is ready!" Jane yelled up the stairs.

"Coming" together, they almost, yelled in sync.

They came scrambling down the stairs, like wild monkeys that haven’t eaten in weeks. Jane could do nothing but laugh. She loved her daughters so much.

"Uncle Jason, you can sleep in my room cause I have the TV in there, and I can hit the couch, or sleep in Kayla’s room!" Lindsay explained to her uncle.

He ignored her at first and reached into his pocket and pulled out a huge container of prescription pills.

"What are those, Jason?" Jane wondered.

He was unsure of what to say, "O, don’t worry about it. Its nothing, really."

"Ok girls," Jane explained, "I am going to get in the shower, finish your lunch and I will be down in a while."

The girls finished there lunch, and went to play Frisbee with their neighbors’ dog. A few moments later, Jason hollered for the girls to come inside. They ran up to the house and with out even thinking they just started pleading to go back and play with the dog.

"Shut up, NOW!" their uncle yelled at them. "Your mom is leaving and she wants to talk to you, so get upstairs."

Lindsey and Kayla scrambled up the stairs, completely out of breath and threw them selves on Jane’s bed.

Lindsey told her mom, "Uncle Jason said you wont to talk to us?"

"Ya," Jane lowered her voice, "Girls your uncle is taking pills for depression and he just didn’t want to say anything.
