A what-if moment I wrote down and decided to post :D
"It's just so sad!" Katie sobbed while Annabeth nodded, noisily blowing their noses into their seventeenth hundred tissue simultaneously.
"I know!" Annabeth agreed tearfully. "She just wanted him to love her and…and…"
"He leaves her for her sister!" the two girls wailed in unison.
Silena looked up from where she'd buried her face in a pillow that was now smeared with black mascara. "And right after her dad dies, too!" Silena cried, sniffling.
Then they all started crying and dabbing their eyes while they continued watching the soap operas.
Travis, Beckendorf, and I sat above them on the couch, all three of us slumped down in utter defeat, unable to make them happy, unable to silence them, unable to be happy while they sobbed for fictional people. When the girl's dog died, we felt like crying, too- but only because the three girls wailed louder.
About ten minutes later Connor walked in. "Hey, guys I 'borrowed' some popcorn from down the street and wanted to see if—" He stopped dead behind us when he saw the three sobbing girls on the floor. He looked to us (dying inside) and back to the girls (wailing like banshees for the girl's dog). Then, leaning down in between us boys and saying quiet so as the girls couldn't hear: "That time of the month again!"
We all just groaned.
