Rosary Tucked Inside Her Lingerie

Chapter Six

i was in the backyard. i was sitting on the grass looking at the sunset. it was so pretty. i wish i could stay like this forever. maybe ya know invite the guys and girls over. it was so peaceful. but in sad reality, George would come home and me and Ryan will once again be in danger. well more Ryan than me. he's ready to die for me.
"can i sit down?" i looked up. it was Spence.
"yea hun. wheres Liana?" i asked.
"meeting me here."
"shes okay with you over, alone at my house?"
"yea shes cool like that." he sat down next to me.
"your leg. the cast comes off soon right?"
"next week. i can't wait."
i sighed, i liked playing the drums for Brenden and Ryan. and i missed my drums.
"heh, hun you can play with my drums anytime you want, just come over ... wow that sounded a bit dirty." he laughed.
"Spence ..." i started.
"hmhmph."
"im glad you're my best friend."
"best friend?"
"well best guy friend. i dont care if you dont feel the same about me, and thats okay. but im glad you're my best guy friend."
he didnt say anything for a bit. "yea, me too."

next week, hospital.

Spence came outta the doctors room ... walking. walking without crutches.
"I CAN WALK!" he laughed. the nurses shhhh-ed him.
"does it hurt?" Liana asked.
"a bit but i can walk! and play drums!" he smiled.
"haha, come on. Ryan's waiting in the car." i laughed.

"Penny's so happy" Ryan laughed.

"oh. wow."

"Skittles!" i saw/heard Brenden.
"hiya Brenden."
"so i was thinking Madame Skittles, whatcha doing tonight?" he asked.
"umm nothing i believe. why?"
"wanna go out, like eatage or something?" he said, rather quickly/nervously.
Brenden, nervous? and asking me out?!
"um sure, why?" stupid stupid question.
"well, i set Ryan and a blind date and he said he'd only go if i twas a double date."
stupid stupid for thinking hes was actually asking me out. "okay, i'll come." i said. the bell rang, and i went to health.

"you look good." Ryan smiled. he was wearing a plain black shirt and my jeans.
"PIECE OF SHIT! YOU LYING SACK OF DIRT!" i heard my mom yell.

"aha, you like Kacey." i whispered.
"... no. maybe. a bit. okay alot." he whispered back.
we sat down. "hey guys!" i piped.
"hey Can---Ryan?" Lacey asked.
"he-hey Kace." he said.

later, still at eatage.

i got up to go to the bathroom, but Brenden stopped me halfway there.
"having a good time?" he asked.
"yea, thanks for inviting me."
"whats wrong you look so sad tonight."
i paused, but then i told him what happened.
"what? no you can't leave!" he said, look changing from happy to ... depressed?
"yea ..." i felt my lower lip quiver. "i gotta."
"i guess since its safer but ... i can't stand ..." he didnt finish, he just looked down.
i hugged him. "i'm sorry Brenden."
"dont be."
my phone rang, it was my mom.
"hello" i said sadly.
"ms. Withman. i'm very sorry to say, your mom passed away."
