GI Blues Song Chapter 21

Posted on | December 27, 2005 |

Daylene and Jason wake up early to go to West Virginia to spend Christmas with his mother. The drive to his childhood home is nice as they leave the warm south to a snowy north. They stop at a Wal-Mart just right over the border to buy her a winter coat and some gloves. It starts to snow again when they finally pull into the the mile long drive that his mother lives on. They stop the car and she is waiting for them on the doorstep. Grey smoke curls out of the brick chimney. The forest surrounds the home. They get out of the car and go up the house. Sandy hugs them both.

“I am so glad you are here. Daylene it is nice to see you again. Did you all have a good trip up?”

“Not too bad,” Jason says to her. The three of them go inside. Where Daylene is greeted by the smells of a roasting turkey. Sandy takes their coats.

“Jason, you and Daylene are gonna be in your room, so if you want to take your stuff up.”

Daylene enjoys her first turkey dinner ever. After dinner Daylene offers to wash the dishes up. Jason and Sandy go into the living room to sit by the fire and talk for awhile. After the dishes were done, Daylene joins them. Sandy gives them each a gift from under the tree.

“Mom your gift is from both of us,” Jason hands her a package.

Daylene opens hers and it is silver necklace with a music note hanging from it. “This is very beautiful Sandy. Thansk you so much.” She reaches over and hugs her.

“Well I know, you sing and all I thought you might like it.”

Jason gets a DVD player. Daylene and Jason gives her a bread maker.

“I am gonna make some bread in the mornin. Thank you so much,” Sandy says and kisses Jason and his wife.

They all retire to bed early. In his room, Daylene starts kissing him and rubbing him. Jason stops her, ” Not here, Day. Ma can hear everything. One time I had girl in here and she found out. Let’s just say that never happend again,” he whispers.

“You’re married now, it should be okay.”

“Drop it, we’ll be home soon.” he turns his back to her.

The next morning, Daylene wakes to find Jason out of bed. She smells frying bacon and brewing coffee. She puts on her robe and slowly walks downstairs. Jason and his mother are in the kitchen, talking loudly.

“She is not good for ya Jason. When I was down there all these guys were kissin her on the cheek and all. She would say they are just friends or whatever. I don’t trust her,” Sandy says.

“You don’t even know her. She is a great woman. I trust her completely. I love her.”

“No you don’t, you are in lust with her. She will cheat on ya. As soon as you go to war. She needs your money but needs her sex more than she needs you.”

“No, she won’t.”

“How the hell do ya know anyway? You anything about her past? She seems like she was a slut. And you know the sayin once a slut always a slut.”

Daylene comes in the kicthen in tears. Sandy looks away. Jason looks at her. ” Come one, Day we are going home. If you ain’t welcome then neither am I.”

“Jason, please don’t go,” his mother yells to him as he and wife leave the home.
