Yeah so I don't really care anymore, I wrote a crap load of the story already, and I WILL write out the whole thing. Even if I finish with only 10 reviews, it's better than nothing. But I'm letting you know, this story will be over 20 chapters long. Thank you, and please R&R! There's nothing worse than having a lot of visitors and only TWO reviews! Thank you (:

I decided to enter home through the shadows in the living room. I was exhausted, and only really wanted to collapse on the couch. Falling through the shadow of the Drake Family statue, I hit the ground with a thud, and crawled to the couch; clawing at the carpet. Shadow Travel drained so much energy, but I've been getting better at it. I wonder what Wolf's reaction was to my little exit scene?

As soon as my head hit the pillow, Kelsey peeked her head in, "Phone for you," and (failed) tossed the phone to me. Since she sucks at throwing, it hit the onyx floor. We both stared at it intensely for a few minutes, until she simply shrugged and walked off.

"Hellllooooo?" a small voice screamed.

"Right!" I jumped off, grabbed the phone off the ground, and reclined in a chair.

"Hey, Haley here," I greeted this pedophile person.

"Ms. Drake, it is understood that you have seriously lacked in paying your bills. We'll take serious action, ma'am, including loss of your home."

"Huh?" my exhaustion worked itself in.

The voice cleared its throat and tried a very poor Indian accent, "Sorry, there is no Phillip here, may we take a message?"

"Ronan," I huffed, "I'm so gonna kill you."

"Aww, Haley, that's too bad. The world would fall apart without my gorgeous looks. And since when did you call me Ronan? No Colin, Roana, or Elizabeth!" he questioned.

I fell back laughing, oh, those were such amazing times!

"Sorry, Roana," I smiled, "but anyways, don't say things like that. You'll jinx yourself and end up looking like Kelsey-"

"Oh he WISHES he looked like me!" a voice from down the hall screeched.

"Yes, Kelsey, I totally agree," I yelled, then turned back and whispered into the phone, "God, help me…."

"Sorry, but God isn't here right now-"

"My LORD, you hobo! Stop it!" I laughed, "And speaking of God, thank him, for another call coming in. I'll talk to ya later, kay?"

"WHAT!"

"Bye, Roana…." I saluted.

Hanging up, then getting the other call, I greeted this other pedophile.

"Hullo?" I asked bluntly.

"Girl, what's up!"

Ah, it was my dear friend, and I can already see what she's calling for-

"So I saw you with that cutie boy -"

Score one for Haley. And that was just like her too; getting right down to the point. No talk about weather with Tavia!

"Yeah, I met him today, and I dunno, I guess we're cool now…." I replied.

"Well I'd say!" she busted, "Looked like you two were hooked!"

"Major eh….." I sighed smugly. Then she went on about being careful with boys, or how to kiss right, and I didn't pay attention to most of it, only cringing whenever she mentioned the word 'sex'. I was way too fascinated with this amazing thing called a pine cone. It was just sitting there, and was the perfect shade of brown. I felt like I could already know what it felt like, without even touching it. It had perfect layers, and all of a sudden, I had an urge to taste it. Just one little-

"Now, you do that, and you'll be just fine, Hon."

"Yes, Tavia, totally," I was knocked back into reality again. Pinecone later.

She gave a satisfied sigh. "Good girl. I'll see ya later, m'kay?"

"M'kay."

I hung up again, and threw the phone at the wall, where it shattered to a million shards.

"Kelsey!" I screamed.

"Huh?"

"We need a new God damn phone."

"And why is that, Haley?"

"I dunno, it broke after you failed that toss. Dad's not gonna be happy…. He's gone for a few weeks this time, and do you think he's gonna be happy to come home to that?"

She gasped in utter horror, "Oh no, you're right! I'll be right back!"

"Kitty….Turtle…Pinecone…" I mumbled before dozing off on the couch again.

I heard immense giggles. Not daring to fully awake, I cautiously let one eyelid part slightly.

"Noooo! She really did! She was all like," Kelsey stood with one foot I the air and batted her eye lashes fervently while pursing her lips, "Oh, Brandon! Don't leave honey! And when I say they talked forever, I mean it. She cried whenever he wasn't there. And she would purposely try to die in battle so she could call for him. And of course, he found some loser instead, and dumped her. She completely changed after that though, got all pissy, and anti-boy. They had an accident meet-up again in the arena, though, and she wooped his ass, that little jerk. He tried to get her back when he saw what she became like, but Haley ain't so Haley anymore. She changed completely. But anyway, I know every God damn relationship she's had."

"Um, don't you think you shouldn't tell us?" Katie asked.

"Katie, this is all for payback. I am telling you, because that's the whole point: embarrassment, you get it?"

"Come on, Kelsey, just finish! I gotta know this jazz! It's so cute!"

"Well there was always that time when Haley went out with that good-for-nothing Kevin!"

"Hey!" Kevin yelled, "God, that was one hot relationship."

"That's nice. But I've always hated you so…. Ooh, or when she went out with Angel!" Kelsey laughed, and Natalie and Dye laughed too. Oh I love Katie, I thought, she at least doesn't stab me in the freaking back….

Without further a due, I jumped up, stood on the couch, and pointed my wand at Kelsey. "Feelin' lucky! We swore we'd never speak of those two again-!"

I practically fainted. Every single good friend of ours was sitting in our living room, gaping at us intently.

"Oi! Hey, Haley!" Kelsey beamed cheekily.

"Kelsey! What the Hell are all these people doing here! And why the HELL are you telling them about my relationships!"

"Well, it's just a mini party!"

"A mini party! So you needed to invite all of these people to embarrass me!"

"We missed you too," Kevin said sarcastically.

"Oh don't you even try me, Kevin!"

"You haven't changed a bit, sweetheart, now have ya?" he grinned.

I threw myself from the couch and landed on Kevin. He was pinned to the ground, our faces inches apart, him smiling the whole freaking time.

"Still got the hots for me?" Kevin asked. Everybody burst into laughter.

I was disgusted! "No, absolutely not!" I spat on his face, "Kelsey..!"

Kevin quickly pressed his lips against mine, then threw me off.

"Still love ya, Haley."

My face was burning red, for how dare he! He just doesn't give up, does he!

I whispered so only Kevin could hear me, "Are you nuts! Please, don't do this here and now. It's a horribly bad time. I'll kick your ass after everything, okay?"

Kevin pressed his forehead against mine and held my hands, "Okay, Haley."

Ronan and Tavia gave a loud wolf whistle, and everyone was smiling and laughing. Even Wolf was chuckling!

I was smarted now, and I already swore that there would be no more relationships. No more. And there was no way in Hell, that I would ever be stupid enough to date Kevin again.

"Maybe she still loves me," a voice said confidently.

We turned to see a grinning jack ass Angel. A few people started laughing again, but my heart was hurting inside. This was too painful.

Ronan stepped up in front of me, "Haley! You cheated on me!" he gasped dramatically.

"Yes, Ronan, I apologize, but I grew tired of you. I needed a better man."

James slid next to me and placed a hand on my stomach, and held my hand, "Hey, Haley, how's our baby?"

I couldn't even reply, for sudden images of my mother slipped into my head.

I screamed loudly and high-pitched, and ran out of the house.

It was pouring outside; a gloomy, foggy, heavy rain. They sky was a bleak shade of gray, and my boots and robe was already soaked. And since it was raining, yes, in DragonSpyre, that means all of the lava rivers are water again (until the rain stops, that is). The closest river was only a little ways away, if you left the Drake Mansion, and went into the back yard, you could follow a path through the woods, and there would be a beautiful river. Once I found my way, I sighed dreamily. Yes, sure enough, it was water, a dazzling river full of it. I could see my reflection in it, as well as the smooth rocks underneath its surface. One in particular caught my eye, it was as black as could be, and so smooth, it burned. I took off a glove, and reached my hand in to retrieve it. I held it in my hand, and studied it for a long time; it would be a beautiful addition to a necklace.

"Mind if I join you, Haley?" a quiet voice asked from behind.

Thank you for reading, and please review (: Poor Haley lolz. So what's going to happen to everyone? And did Kelsey ever buy a new phone? Will Haley ever lick a pinecone? (I wasn't trying to make a joke of that by the way, I just get amused so easily.) What's with the prettyful stone? Or the quiet voice? XD DON DON DON DOOOOOON!
