Chapter 15
A Gal’s talk
“Talia, I’m so sorry that you have to leave so early, but my parents, not very trusting. Plus they already have a full plate…so…the gal’s are leaving soon, again sorry, looking forward to the next sleepover.”
Gosh, I almost believed myself!
“Sure!” Talia beamed, clueless. “See you later, Pal!”
“Buddy,” I saluted her.
Ryler shook his head as soon as the door closed. “I just met her and I already dislike her.”
Adam shrugged as he took a seat, “everybody does, the moment she came here we knew chaos would erupt.”
I scoffed. “The moment she moved here, she snuck (trespassed) into everyone’s houses, thinking we’d accept her as buddies, we knew chaos would erupt.”
Sage sat next to me, and patted my back. “She’s crazy, but as long as she’s not pulling a knife out at me…”
Ali looked up. “She hasn’t done that to you!”
We all laughed, but Ali looked disturbed.
Beth, the always formal and polite, extended her arm. “You must be Ryler, Beth.”
“Sage!”
“And I’m Ali!”
Adam and I shared a look before laughing, but Ryler nodded, smiling politely. “Nice to meet you, where’s your other sister? Melissa?”
“Melanie,” I say, pleased he didn’t remember her name. “Started college, still at college.”
Ryler nodded. “So your family’s an odd number, must be an odd family, you know because your odd.”
I shook my head, smiling. Adam snorted. “You are such a loser.”
“But I’m also paying half rent, so…”
Ali winked at me, Sage gave me a thumb’s up, and Beth grinned at me. They all had the ‘I approve’ look, and I unconsciously blushed.
Ali stood up. “Kay, come on gal’s, let’s got to our beloved bakery restaurant, the Bakeraurant, and let’s talk, you know, gal talk.” She stressed the word gal.
Adam scowled, but Ryler looked perplexed. Even though we were out of the house I could still hear them both fighting. Boys.
“All right,” Ali said once we sat down at our respective Gal’s table. “Today’s category is dating and boyfriends. I’ll start.”
I could literally hear all of our mental groaning.
Ali sighed. “Well, Chad and I have been a little flirty, but otherwise, nothing. Sage?”
“I met this cute boy at the store, but we only said hi, and I don’t know his name.” Sage shook her head. “Beth?”
Beth blushed. “I…um…it’s-”
“She went on a date with Grey, they almost kissed.” I cut her. “But Meredith and Cal appeared and ruined everything.”
“A date with Grey?” Sage shrieked. “Jerk Grey?”
“There isn’t any other Grey’s, but he can be sweet if he wants to.” I offered. “Surprised me too. I was there when it happened, and trust me I know he likes her.”
“Right! Pam?”
I scowl at Beth, similar to Adam’s. “I woke up early, went downstairs, he, Ryler, was there. We talked, bonded and that’s all.”
Ali glowered at me. “More specific. Detailed.”
“Why don’t you detail your ‘nothing’ with Chad?”
The conversation went downhill from there.

It's sad
It's the truth
Fighting through what it is
But I'll be stronger
I've gone through
Mounds of pain
I've been through
The deepest waters
Nobody can change my past
It's the truth, and it changed me
Sad to even hear the truth
Sad to...say the truth
Reality's always sad
And no one's gonna escape it.
It's how I became who I am today
It's how I didn't brag.
Why does this have to happen?
Why did it have to end?
Why does the world have to be so confusing?
Why did the fun have to end?
The world's just a crazy place
And no one's gonna stop that thought
Cause I'm broken for good...
Because of...the truth.

Tell me darling why you cry,
Your tears stain the bed you lay upon
Could it be you miss the ones you clung to so tight,
Nothing but a scared little fawn
The flames burnt away your past and future,
The hate did nothing but balance your grief
What now? That’s presents question,
Something so fragile like a branch being clung to by a leaf
Where is your mother little dove?
What happened to those loving others who filled your empty nest?
How many word of the world can you rhyme with love?
Perhaps someday we will know with, proper care and rest
When pursuing dreams take chances and strive for nothing less than best
Then only then can you be sure you’ve completed life’s most demanding quest
Your tears stain the bed you lay upon
Could it be you miss the ones you clung to so tight,
Nothing but a scared little fawn
The flames burnt away your past and future,
The hate did nothing but balance your grief
What now? That’s presents question,
Something so fragile like a branch being clung to by a leaf
Where is your mother little dove?
What happened to those loving others who filled your empty nest?
