Jimmy told Lexxie to go ahead and leave, and she surely didn't have to be told twice. She waggled her fingers at her sister, smiled and rushed out the door. Alexxis was always in a hurry, and nobody, not even herself, really knew why. She hopped in her car, and for a change, just sat there for a moment. She lit her cigarette, started her car, and slowly backed out of the driveway.<br/><br/>As soon as Lexxie was on the road, however, she was back to her normal self. She sped down the road, hopped on the turnpike, and headed for the lake house. The usual fourty-five minute drive took Lexxie less than twenty-five minutes. She pulled onto the dirt road and slowed, pulling into Jackson's driveway. She stopped the car, and stared at the sky for a moment. The sun was only peaking past the horizon, the sky a deep pink. She pulled her cellphone out and snapped a quick picture of the pink sky above the tall trees.<br/><br/>Before Lexxie hopped out of the car, she checked her make up and fluffed her hair. She pulled the visor down, opened the hard plastic mirror cover, and puckered her lips. She rubbed her lips together, puckered them again and smiled, satisfied with herself.<br/><br/>Lexxie opened her car door, stood up, and slammed the door. The slammed the car door loud enough so someone here would hear it, and it worked without fail.<br/><br/>"Well, look who is it," Jackson said to her from the wrap around porch. Lexxie just smiled. "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked lightly. "Nothin'. Just didn't expect to see you here," he replied with a shrug. Lexxie shrugged in return. "Missy invited me. Her, Jim and Maggie should be here eventually."
