Giving Back || Jackie + Jacob
This was the second time Jackie had volunteered for the holidays. It was maybe an escape from having to go home and relive the memories of her brother, or cry with her parents as they spoke about what he would have loved for Christmas dinner. This way no one had to cry. She could call them, tell them she just couldn’t get away or that she’d made a commitment and couldn’t get out of it.
She at first almost worried about her hair and her clothes and what she’d wear. She didn’t know why, for a moment thinking that she at least wanted to look nice, but then realized no one that she wanted looking would even be paying much attention to her. She threw on some sweats, still did her make up and hair and threw it up into a bun. She’d have a hairnet on anyway.
When she arrived at the shelter, she found Jacob there. “Looks like we’re spending Christmas together,” she said jokingly. But then didn’t want to sound creepy, she almost corrected herself but realized she didn’t care and technically they were. “I’m about to get my sexy on with this hairnet,” she said as she put it on so that she didn’t shed anything into the food. “How are you today?” she asked, washing her hands and getting ready to serve food to those in need.
This was such an admirable thing that he did and she was glad that he told her about because selfish reasons aside it was a great cause.
