Her initial thought was to, somehow, get back inside and use the Chronivac. But as Jennifer stood outside, trying to figure out a way back inside, she became aware of being watching. Sniffing, hating Lucy's aunt, she tried to figure out who was watching, and discovered after some time it was Ginny. Giving the woman a defiant state, wishing something bad would happen to her, Jennifer turned away.
With no other choice, or so she could see, Jennifer was forced to wait outside for either her mom or dad to come get her. Watching the street, her mind still on the Chronivac and her wishes for what it could do, as well as her desire to get to it, she listened to the silence of the night. Feeling it best represented how she felt, she shifted her pack, resisted the urge to adjust herself, as her penis had worked its way to almost poking out of one the leg holes of her shorts, she sniffed and considered flipping off Ginny and walking home.
Lights from a car drawing her attention, she sniffed again as she watched the vehicle draw closer. Seeing it was her mom, she started down the walk, hoping to get away before the hateful woman in the house could do or say anything else. To her shock, Ginny exited the house and followed her down the walk. Wanting to tell her to mind her own business and go away, she never got the chance as her mother stopped the car, got out, asking as she did, "What's wrong, sweety?"
"You ought to be ashamed of yourself," Ginny declared before Jennifer could say anything, and pushing past her, the older woman marched up to her mom and began to lay into her, calling sick, disgusting, and stating at one point, "You're just as much of a pervert as your child for letting him do what he does, go out in public dressed so."
Inside the house, aware something was going on, and Jennifer had been asked to leave, the other girls crowded around the living room window, which Lucy had opened in an attempt to hear what was going on. Catching only snippets, including Aunt Ginny calling Jennifer's mom sick and a pervert, the others looked at each other with questions of their own. Wanting to go outside, to be with the girl who for reasons they didn't know had been told to go home. Listening at the window, it was Diana who at last broke the silence with, "What do you all think happened," to which none but Lucy replied, who said, "I don't know. But it sure is pissing off Jennifer's mom. And, if they're not careful, everyone in the neighbourhood is going to know. Possibly calls the cops."
Outside, defending her daughter, Mrs Grace spat out, "You close-minded, hateful, bigot. Just because you don't know the all the details about something, something doesn't fit into your narrow definitions, doesn't give you the right to act like some vengeful bitch. My husband and I may no longer live together, may have unintentionally moved to the same town, but we still love our daughter, support her choice, and commend her courage. Yes, our daughter. Not our son. She ceased being that when she came to us and told us how she felt, what she wanted."
"It's no wonder you're divorced," Ginny spat. "Ideals such as yours are what are tearing apart families. And I wouldn't be the least be surprised if you or your husband in fact coerced your son to behave the way he does. You know, there's a word for what you have done here; abuse. And as soon as I can, I shall make the proper authorities aware of what's been done here."
"You go right ahead. And I'll be seeing you in court, as I slap you with a suit of harassment against me and my daughter," Mrs Grace shot back, and turning, she led the girl of nine to the car, stopped and said over her shoulder, “Oh, not that it’s any of your damn business, but Mr Grace and I are not divorced. We made an agreement to take some time apart. When we feel ready to, we shall get back together,” before directing Jennifer to get in.
Ginny, huffing, angry with how she viewed the way some people got away with inappropriate behaviour watched the other woman. As the car pulled away from the curb and headed down the street, following the speed limit, she thought, "Reckless driver as well. Pulling out of her like she did, swerving and weaving, almost knocking into trash bins and mailboxes. But, then again, suppose it's to be expected of their sort. I shall also report this when I get the chance," before turning and heading back inside.
Upon seeing Jennifer leaving with her mom, then Aunt Ginny start back to the house, Lucy and her friends ducked away from the window. Hurrying across the living room, they waited until the woman had come back inside before Lucy asked her aunt, "Why'd Jennifer leave."
"Never you mind," Aunt Ginny snapped, then, softening, she said, "Why don't you go back to your sleep over? Okay?
She didn't want to be placated and wanted to push the subject. But, seeing her aunt was in one her moves, Lucy looked at her friends and made a motion for them to follow her. Heading for her room, she closed the door the moment they were all in, and looking at her friends, she asked, "So what do you suppose we ought to do? Should we see if we can get a hold of Jennifer to find out what happened?"
