Sequel: Only a Memory ›
The Mortician's Daughter
Outcast
We walk into Annabel’s house and I’m shocked; it’s fairly normal considering the line of work her father does. “Don’t mind the place, we’re still moving in.” She yells to us as she whips out her phone and walks into the kitchen. Taylor and I just awkwardly stand in the living room, waiting for her to walk back into the living room. Moments later she comes out with three cans of Pepsi and her phone placed between her cheek and shoulder. “I’m failing to see why me having friends is such a big shock Ashley.” She says into the phone. Taylor and I look at each other; not knowing who this ‘Ashley’ is. “Well Ashley, I’ve got to go; I’ve got people to entertain and a town to destroy.” she chuckles. “Love ya too.” With that she hangs up on the person.
“Boyfriend?” I ask. “Girlfriend perhaps?” Annabel just laughs.
“Nah, he’s my older cousin.” she replies as we all head outside and sit on her front steps. “He recently moved to California and we always talk on the phone. He was my best friend basically, even if there is a seven year age difference. “
“It must be hard to be this far away from him then.” Taylor muses.
“It does, but it’s good in away.” Annabel shrugs. “He was very overprotective of me so I might actually get a decent boyfriend with the distance between us.”
“So any reason why he’s like that?” I ask, genuinely curious.
“He caught me and my last boyfriend fooling around at the time he didn’t care,” she begins to explain. “then the next day; he found my boyfriend with another girl. So he freaked out. Saying that my boyfriend took my innocence and he didn’t deserve it. Typical big brother kinda thing.”
“So I’m taking it you’re not a virgin?” Taylor chuckles.
“I said fooling around, not having sex.” she laughs. “I’m still a virgin; for the most part anyway. So what about you guys?”
“We’re the outcasts, what do you think?” Taylor laughs. “Andy here is the only one that had a real relationship and she broke his heart and made him hate everything with tits and a vagina.” I just glare at Taylor and from the corner of my eye I can see Annabel shooting me a sincere apology.
“I hope you know not all of us females are bitches.” She says.
“I’m starting to see that now.” I smile, causing hers to grow wider.
“So I say we head out back and start playing music loud enough to shake the neighbors’ windows.” Annabel says as she jumps to her feet. Taylor and I laugh as we follow her back into the house. Seconds later Motley Crue comes blaring through the stereo in her living room. I have a feeling we’re really going to be attached at the hip…
