Sorry about the wait readers! Turns out that updating regularly is hard... Other than that, please Enjoy :)

"Are you going to tell me what's with these strange reactions you're having today?" she said pointing her finger up and down at me.

"Yes, but just promise me you won't get mad."

"That depends." She muttered taking a seat in the stool beside me.

I started by telling her about the nightmare I had with Billy, her face serious the entire time then I proceeded by removing the dog tags from my neck and showing it to her. She grabbed them delicately in her hands; she understood what they meant to me. "This is heavy stuff Rebecca." She thought for a moment while looking at the tags. "You must really love this guy to have kept these for such a long time."

"I think I've kept them in vain." I admitted.

"Why? This is a symbol of pure love and devotion to this man!" She said out loud, I hushed her and she clasped her mouth.

"I know but," I whispered, "Let's face it, it's been 16 years and I've never seen or heard of him, for all I know he could be well… Billy's zombie form appeared on my mind once again... I quivered at the thought.

"Daisy, I'm not getting any younger by now I would have liked to have been married and had a family." I said looking at a family who had just entered the store.

The woman was very beautiful she has long, black as night hair, fair skin and she was cradling a baby girl in her arms. The man who entered was tall, handsome and dirty blond. A little boy walked next to him; to be frank the boy looked a lot like him except for the hair. I watched them mesmerized as they shopped, they seemed like a perfect family; the man often smiled at her and she did as well. "That's what I want Daisy." I gestured my hand towards that family. "All I ever wanted."

My mind wandered back to my younger days, when I was about seven. My family was perfect, so I thought. But when I turned ten my parents split up, I remember each argument perfectly, especially the last one where he didn't come back again.

-"It your fault Rosemary your impossible!" My father walked towards the door.

-"Robin let's talk about this, please."My mother pleaded walking behind him. "Robin, Robin!" She was able to grab his sleeve but he shook her off much like you do when you have a pesky bug on your arm. She landed seated on the carpet. He slammed the door and left my mother sobbing uncontrollably there.

"Earth to Becca!" Daisy said waving her hand in my face. I grabbed her hand. "Geez you are totally out of it today."

"Shut up, work has actually helped me." I said getting off the chair.

"Becca?"

"Yes?"

"What was I suppose to get upset about?" I gasped, I didn't want to talk about Piers. "It's about Piers isn't it?" Did she just read my mind?

"Yup." Short answers solved anything and keep you from embarrassing and or getting yourself into problems. But in my current situation I was going to be in trouble with or without using sentences.

"Look whatever it is I'll try not to get so mad, okay, after all you're my best friend." She smiled, but then grabbed my left hand to look at it.

"What the heck?!" I pulled my left hand out of her grasp.

"Just checking, so it can't be that bad." My ring finger felt damaged I rubbed it against my opposite palm. "So what did he say?"

"Curiosity killed the cat." I mumbled as I tried to distract myself by naming the pill canisters on the far end of the room. She came beside me and leaned on the table.

"But cats have nine lives so, I'll live." I adjusted my glasses and tried to focus but I could feel her dark grey eyes wearing me down. I couldn't take it so I looked at her and glared.

"Do you really want to know?" I said taking my glasses off. She nodded eagerly, this going to kill her and me in the process. "Piersaskedmeout." It came out like a roller coaster speeding down hill. She grabbed one of the pill canisters and started squeezing it; the lid popped clean off and landed next to me.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," She said but more to herself than to me I think. "I'm fine, I'm just gonna… need a moment or... two...or ten" She walked back to the exit that led to the laboratory and offices. "I'll send Dr. Rivers to accompany you."

"Okay." I whispered. She slammed the door and after that I didn't see her at all.

Notes: I apologize about how short it is, this chapter is more of a filler.

I know your all wondering when Reed is going to appear, well he scheduled to come up in one of these next chapters, so don't worry. Next chapter is going to be CHAOS! (evil laugh) :D

Can any of you guess who the family is? If you've read my other story it's obvious (check it out if you haven't already: Confronting The Past), i just had to have them do a cameo.

Daisy is in love with Piers (who could blame her), just in case you didn't get the part where she grabbed Rebecca's left hand allow me to elaborate: She was making sure Piers didn't propose to her, so when she said quote "It can't be that bad." unquote, she knew she still had a chance to date him.

Oh and when Rebecca said "Piers asked me out", I wrote it like that on purpose, kind of like when you say something so fast it sounds like one word.

Poor Rebecca its only going to get harder for her from here on... Thank you for reading and please review :)
