Status: Coming Slowly. . .Please bear with me

"I have a what?"

Party!

When we got back from grocery shopping I went over to the living room, while Tegan and Tom brought in the bags and put the food away.

“I’m going to my room,” Tegan said from the doorway, “You going to be okay Mom?”

“Yeah I’ll be fine Teg,” I said and she looked me before she went into her room.

Tom then walked in with a sundae in a huge bowl.

“Do you think it was a good idea to come back?” I asked as Tom sat next to me.

“You were miserable in Pittsburgh Andrea,” Tom said. “This is a good move for you.”

“But Matt hates me,” I said.

“He does not hate you,” Tom chuckled, “He regretted what he said the moment the words left his mouth.”

“I’m sure he did,” I said not convinced.

“Trust me he does not hate you,” Tom said, “Now you sit here and relax while I go and start unloading the POD.”

“Are you sure you don’t want help?” I asked.

“I’m positive,” he smiled, “I loaded the POD and I can unload it myself.”

“Okay,” I sighed eating the sundae, “And Tom?”

“Yeah sis?” he asked.

“Thanks for the sundae,” I said smiling a little, “You know me too well.”

“No problem,” he smiled and walked out.

Ten minutes later, Tegan came out of her room and came to sit with me on the couch.

“Dad’s a dick,” she mumbled.

I just chuckled at her and kissed her forehead.

“You guys have the same temper,” I chuckled, “and you have the same eyes and dimples.”

“But I got the brains from you Mom,” she said smiling up at me.

“Yes you did,” I smiled down at her.

After two hours of watching mindless TV, Tegan stood up and turned off the TV. She walked into her room and grabbed her guitar. She came out and started strumming “Because You Live” by Jesse McCartney.

Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back, like a wake-up call

I've been looking for the answer, somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else can help because you live girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

It's all right, I survived, I'm alive again
'Cause of you, made it through every storm
What is life? What's the use? If you're killing time

I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone, who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly looking in your eyes

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else can help because you live girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live

Because you live, there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've givin' me always

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else can help because you live girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else can help

Because you live girl
My world has everything, I need to survive
Because you live, I live, I live


When Tegan stopped singing, Tom walked into living room.

“Michelle, Lacey, Leana, and Gena are here Drea,” Tom said.

“Oh my god!” I exclaimed jumping off the couch and ran over to the girls and hugged them.

“Andrea!” they exclaimed and hugged her.

“Is this. . .” Michelle started.

“Tegan meet Michelle, Lacey, Leana, and Gena,” I said, “Girls Tegan Sanders.”

“She’s Matt’s,” Lacey’s eyes widened.

“Yeah,” I smiled.

“Hey Auntie Leana,” a girl with bright blue eyes walked in.

“Is this Kylie’s?” I asked shocked.

“Tegan, Andrea meet Melanie,” Leana said, “Melanie this is Tegan and Andrea. Andrea’s a really good friend.”

“Hey you want to go hang out?” Tegan asked.

“Yeah,” she smiled, “Nice acoustic.”

“Thanks,” Tegan smiled, “I have an electric want to see it?”

“Heck yes,” Melanie said and they rushed out of the room.

“Sit guys let me get you something to drink,” I said going into the kitchen.

“Andrea get your ass in here,” Lacey chuckled, “We don’t want anything to drink we want to talk.”

I sighed and walked in and we all sat down and caught up.

“When’s her birthday?” Michelle asked.

“July 31st,” I said looking at my hands.

“Is that why you ran away?” Leana asked.

“Yeah pretty much,” I said looking them, “I was afraid that Matt would break up with me when he found out.”

“Oh Andrea,” Gena said hugging me and then all the girls hugged me.

“Why don’t you come over tonight,” Leana said, “Jimmy and I having everyone for a barbeque. Come catch up with us.”

“You want us to come,” I said shocked.

“Duh girlfriend,” Lacey chuckled, “Sure you left fifteen years ago but that doesn’t mean you’re not our friend still.”

“Mom can we go please!” Tegan asked, “Melanie just invited me too! Please!”

“Okay,” I chuckled, “Let us go get changed and we’ll come help.”

“Yes!” Tegan, Melanie, Lacey, Leana, Gena, and Michelle said all high fiving each other
