Letter 2: Maria

So, it has been about eight days since I was last on here, and BOY do have things been weird. I don’t know anything for sure but that’s what you guys are here for. I'm going to tell you guys EVERYTHING I’ve seen and you guys can leave comments below on theories you guys have of what’s going on here. Maybe we can piece everything together. Like a puzzle! I love watching Lara do those, the total of once that she’s done them since I’ve been alive. Did I mention she’s 15? Yeah. Not really human over here but I’m guessing most 15 year old humans don’t stay in and do puzzles of castles.

It all started at the end of last week when, yup you guessed it, I was watching Lara make the puzzle while I was munching on an apple. I heard Jay yelling at Maria in the living room so  I zoomed out of Lara’s room and flew downstairs to see what the big fuss was about. Oh! Now I know the mom’s name is Maria because he was yelling it out REALLY loud. He was begging her not to go out as she was grabbing her purse. It went a little like this

Jay: Please don’t do this again! If you keep doing this people and especially the kids are going to find out!

Maria: Oh please! Stop overreacting. I’m just going out for a little fun.

Jay: I know what a little fun means to you!

Maria: What does it mean then?!

Jay: It means you get really drunk and either you don’t come home, I have to pick you up somewhere far, or, the one I hate, you come home with your friend!

Maria: Oh my god, Jay. Do not bring up her up and keep your voice down

Jay: What you're scared the kids will hear all this?

That’s when Maria gave Jay a nasty look, walked to the front door and slammed the door shut. Jay looked as if he was so upset that all he could do is keep it all in. Why do you guys think Jay doesn’t go out with her? Also, who’s her friend? Aren’t friends supposed to be good things? Also, does he not like her going out because of her age?

A few minutes later Jay turned off the house lights so I couldn’t get back to Lara’s room since I can’t see at all in the dark. I was able to make it to the front door an hour later when Noah and Sofia came home and turned on some lights quickly.

I started dozing off late at night when all of a sudden I was woken up by loud laughter and yelling outside. Suddenly I was flung into the air when Maria swung the door open. Don’t worry, I was OK but it definitely woke me up. Right behind her was her friend who was equally as drunk. It’s crazy what alcohol can do to you. I would try it when Jay leaves a glass out but I don’t want end up like my dad or waste my time on it when I have 35 days to live!

Anyway, a few moments later, Jay came running down.

Jay: Go to sleep NOW!

Maria: You can’t tell me what to do and stop yelling at me in front of my friend!

Friend: Hi!

Jay: She can sleep in the guest room but make sure the kids don’t see her!

Maria: Why not? It’s about time they knew about her!

Jay: You're drunk, go to bed.

The three of them went upstairs and before they turned the lights off, I quietly flew right behind them. I stood right outside the guest room while Maria helped her friend get settled in and when she came outside she had a different look in her eyes. They were all wet and she looked really sad. I wonder why. She stood there for a moment looking devastated at the closed door.  After she went into her room with Jay, I was expecting more yelling but it was just quiet all night.

The rest of the week seemed to go as usual. As far as I heard or saw, Jay and Maria pretended that night never happened and the kids never found out that Maria's friend came and went. I just find it strange how much Jay does not like her friend and didn't even look at her once while she was here.

Once again, if you guys can help me put everything together and help me figure out what is going on in this house leave a comment below!
