I walked into the kitchen to see Sandy looking for a bagel which Hailey was eating. I grabbed some orange juice only to find that there was about 2 ounces left. Rose came in looking for the Arts section of the paper, only to find that Hailey was reading it. Were things always like that when relatives visited? I really wasn't sure because I had never had to deal with it growing up. I could tell that it was annoying. Did she not think to ask if she could finish things off? She also seemed like she was kind of a mooch.
"She's eating us out of house and home." Sandy complained after she left the room.
"Sandy, it's just a bagel." Kirsten told her husband.
"Mom, for someone who basically spent the few 16 years of her life indoors, I can say that woman never leaves the house." Rose remarked.
"That's because her friends all want to kick her ass." I stated before I noticed Kirsten glaring. "Sorry."
"I wanna kick her ass." Sandy declared. He probably shouldn't have said that.
"Kirsten, there's no more coffee. Will you make some more?" Hailey whined from the other room. Did she not know how to make coffee? I knew how to make coffee. Granted, I worked as a waitress, but I knew how to make coffee before that. Sandy was whispering no repeatedly.
"I'll talk to her." Kirsten promised before she walked out of the kitchen.
"I guess I'll have to survive on English muffins." Sandy muttered.
I then went into the pool house and began to get ready for school. Winter break was over and we were about to start a new semester.
"Kaitlin? Kaitlin, where are you? Rose asked as she walked into the pool house. "She has to be here somewhere."
"You're hilarious." I deadpanned.
"Well Hailey is always in the living room and Kaitlin is always in here." She stated. "What happened to sister time? That was quality time."
"Do you want to talk about it?" I inquired.
"Vicki and I made out with each other and there was some touching involved." She explained. "She said that she'll be able to have sex soon."
"Wait, I didn't know Vicki had already had her operation." I remarked. Maybe I shouldn't have skipped those meetings so much.
"Yeah, she had it had in October. I need some advice about sex with a girl." She remarked. "I also need to figure out how to tell Summer that we're dating. I don't want to hurt her…or her to hurt me."
At that point, Kaitlin walked into the pool house. I gave her a quick kiss.
"Summer's not going to hurt you unless you do something to make her angry." Kaitlin declared as she grabbed my hand.
"We should go." I added.
"We need to talk about this later." Rose stated.
"Look, Vicki's probably as nervous as you are. She's never done it as a girl. You shouldn't stress so much about it." I said.
"Vicki has a…" Kaitlin remarked before I covered her mouth.
"That was a private conversation." Rose declared.
"Are you sure that you're not trying to convince yourself to be with Vicki because you don't know if you like her or Summer more?" I questioned.
"So what do you wanna do tonight?" Kaitlin asked me as we went out to Rose's car. I was about to get my license soon. I wouldn't be able to drive to school because they didn't allow freshmen to get parking passes, but I would be able to drive other places. I would just have to figure out what kind of car I wanted.
"Do we have to do something tonight?" I questioned. "We don't have to spend every night together. Maybe you should do something with Marissa?"
"Can we get back to talking about me?" Rose requested.
"You have to make sure she's nice and wet." Kaitlin stated as I blushed.
"Okay, thanks for the advice." Rose replied, also blushing.
Once we were at school, we separated from Rose.
"So, are you really okay with me spending the night with Marissa?" She questioned. It seemed like she didn't really want to do it.
"I think we should both spend time with our siblings." I told her. "Do you not want to spend time with Marissa?"
"Well we haven't really talked that much since Christmas." She admitted.
"That's why it's a good time to bury the hatchet" I proposed. "You don't want to become like Kirsten and Hailey."
You know I could even see Marissa mooching off of us years down the line after we were married.
"Which one would I be?" She asked curiously.
"Well, you would obviously be Kirsten since you're the more responsible one." I explained. "But I don't want to compare you to someone who's my mom in everything but blood."
After school, I noticed Holly was standing outside by her Jeep. We hadn't talked in a while.
"How's it going?" I questioned.
"Someone slashed my tire." She explained. I supposed that people didn't like that she was the daughter of a sex offender.
"Do you know how to change it?" I questioned. "I could teach you."
"I have a spare in the back." She stated as I looked in the back.
"Hey, Holly, I could help with that." A guy replied as he passed by. "I love it when a girl bends over."
"Do you think I deserve this for all those years of being a bitch?" She asked as I took out the jack I got on my knees and showed her how to work it. I wished that I hadn't been wearing a skirt.
"That's subjective." I remarked.
"Well my New Year's resolution was to fall in love." She stated as I started to remove the nuts.
"Do you wanna get out of here?" I questioned.
"Absolutely." She declared before we headed back to the pool house and began to play a game of Madden. I liked how they put a story mode in the game even if it didn't have enough football.
"Who plays PS4 for the sports game?" Rose asked me.
"Some people actually like sports." Holly pointed out.
"I thought it was going to be just us tonight." Rose replied. "We need to talk about my problem."
"What's your problem? Are you upset about the new ban list in Yu-Gi-Oh?" She questioned.
"Yes, Firewall Dragon is used by the main character in the anime and it shouldn't be banned." Rose stated. "But I'm more trying to figure out how to have sex for the first time."
"Well you have to know how to properly satisfy a girl." Holly stated. "Do you want to know how?"
"Are you offering to teach me?" Rose rebutted.
"Well it would be a hands-off experience, but I might be able to." Holly stated. I then paused the game and took her into the bathroom with me.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I'm not offering to have sex with her, even if she is kind of sexy in a nerdy way." Holly explained.
"Well she is in a complicated relationship with girls and we don't need to muck it up further with her falling for you as well." I explained.
"So, you're telling me I can't date your sister. I guess we are friends now." She remarked.
At that point, my phone rang. It was Kaitlin. I pushed Holly out of the bathroom so we could talk in private.
"Hey, how's Marissa?" I asked her.
"With Olivia." She stated. "Apparently she wasn't on board with the whole hanging out with siblings thing."
"Oh yeah, eat it, Cohen." Holly shouted.
"Are you hanging out with Holly?" She asked.
"Are you hanging out with Holly?" She inquired.
"Yeah, she kind of had a bad day at school." I pointed out. "Some douche slashed her tire."
So it ended up with us meeting up with Olivia, Marissa and Kaitlin at the Four Seasons. I supposed group stuff was different than couple stuff. She had some food.
"Is there any silverware?" Rose asked as Holly decided to dig in.
"Moroccans eat with their hands." Olivia answered. She then looked at Marissa and flirtatiously asked. "How's the couscous?"
I'd heard of that before. It was nicknamed 'the food so nice, they named it twice'. I went and took a bite of it and it was good.
"It's pretty good." I replied. It turned out that I was not eating couscous, but some other dish that I couldn't spell.
"It's so cool that you live in a penthouse." Rose told her.
"Yeah, it's always been my fantasy to live in a hotel." Marissa added. Were they both Suite Life fans?
"It seems like a good way to become spoiled." I commented.
"It's more lonely because my parents travel so much." Olivia explained.
"Well, if you ever need company, just give me a call." Rose remarked. Something just seemed really off about her. I couldn't place it though.
"They're in Paris opening a new hotel." Olivia declared. Everyone then started to talk about Paris. It seemed like they had all been. "Have you ever been to Paris, Rhiannon?"
"No." I answered. "I've heard good things about the Louvre."
She told me that the Louvre sucked. She also talked about snowboarding in the Alps. There was something really off about her.
"Where's the bathroom?" Kaitlin asked.
"It's down the hall to the right." Olivia explained. She then grabbed me and took me to the bathroom with her. I was a little confused. "I don't trust this girl."
"She seems a little shady, but she did grow up in the wrong body." I pointed out.
We then went back into the living and found that Olivia had gotten us tickets to a concert, She then the band somehow.
"Okay, maybe you're right," I whispered.
The next morning, Rose was back to talking about Summer and Vicki.
"I need to figure out how to tell Summer." She stated. "I call text her."
"That would be effective and would prevent her from hitting you." I opined before I bit into my French toast.
"Or maybe I could have Vicki tell her." She suggested. "That way, I can focus on seeing Hey Violet tonight."
"I saw Hey Violet open for 5 Seconds of Summer last year." Hailey interjected.
"We're seeing them tonight." Rose explained.
"I thought it was sold out." The blonde replied.
"It is, but we know a girl." Rose told her. "Olivia."
"You mean that creep Rhiannon was talking about before bed last night?" Hailey asked. I couldn't believe that she was eavesdropping on me. "If she has a girlfriend, where is she?"
"I don't know." I answered as Hailey poured some cereal.
"Mind if I finish the cornflakes?" She asked before she went off to do so.
"Well, at least she asked." Rose stated.
Later, I was in the pool house getting ready for the show. I was trying to look edgy, so I wore a leather jacket with a black and white striped tee with denim shorts and tights. I even put pink streaks in my hair. Kaitlin wore a leather jacket with a black tee, tartan miniskirt, tights and a chain necklace. I was applying some extra eyeliner.
"You look so hot." She commented.
"So, do you know if Marissa's met Olivia's girlfriend." I asked.
"I don't think she has." Kaitlin replied. "I'm starting to wonder if she even exists."
"We maybe we can just ignore that and focus on meeting Hey Violet." I suggested.
She then gave me one hell of a kiss. If we didn't have to worry about being late, it probably would have gone further.
"Tonight, we'll have fun." I promised her.
"We don't have to dance, do we?" She questioned.
"No, but I'm sure there'll be some songs we can slow-dance to." I declared.
We went to the concert and everyone was there…but Olivia. To make matters worse, she wasn't on the list. We decided to go out into the parking lot and there she was.
"I thought I said back door." She declared. At that point, we saw the band.
"Which one is Violet?" Holly asked. I was glad that no one else heard that or there could have been blood.
"They all are and it's Hey Violet." I corrected.
I was surprised that Olivia managed to pull through. Also, Rena was so much hotter in person. We all then went in. I heard Marissa outside ask about Natalie. It seemed that she wasn't there. She offered to be the girl's date instead.
"So, our relationship is now more faux-incestuous." Kaitlin told me. "My dad is dating your aunt."
"This night keeps getting weirder and weirder." I muttered. Hopefully, it would still rock.
I had never been backstage to anything before. One thing that I learned was that Holly played guitar. Rose and Vicki were trying to figure out how to tell Summer that they were dating. I also noticed that most of the fans seemed to be girls. I supposed girls could be groupies too.
"So here we are." Kaitlin told me. "So, should we come up with a plan?"
"A plan for what?" I inquired.
"To tell Marissa that we think Olivia is bad news." She said.
"Kaitlin, we don't have any proof and we can't do anything without it." I replied. "Maybe you're wrong about her."
"Fine." She agreed. "But I'm not sharing you with Holly."
"It's not as bad as the triangle of doom over there." I commented.
We then went out to the concert and it was a lot of fun. I also found it was a bad idea to give Holly Red Bull.
"This place is awesome!" She shouted. "Are you having as much fun as I am?"
"Well it's not exactly bad." Kaitlin remarked. I then rubbed her back and started to sing along to the song to calm her. "How do you such a great voice? I'm going to make you serenade me sometime."
We ended up slow dancing to a song called "O.D.D.". It was a bit of a strange song to dance to, but I liked it. I was hoping to get Kaitlin's mind off of stressing about Olivia. I even took a little bit of time to feel her up while no one was looking. I hoped it would be a good distraction. I also noticed Holly had surrounded herself with some older girls and felt the need to separate her from them.
"We should go grab Marissa." Kaitlin replied. I sighed before the two of us took out front.
"Hey, we're missing the show." Marissa complained. "I thought you two wanted to hang out with friends."
"You've known Olivia for two weeks. She's not much of a friend." Kaitlin pointed out.
"She's trying to stay clean." Marissa argued. "You don't know what she's going through."
"I know some of what she is going through." I reminded her.
"And we don't need to know the rest." Kaitlin added.
"Why don't you two just go home if you don't want to be here?" Marissa spat before she went back inside. Who said we didn't want to be there?
"I guess we'll grab Holly and tell her that we need to go then." Kaitlin replied. I couldn't believe that Marissa had to ruin the concert for me. It seemed like she had a habit of ruining things.
We then went out back and saw that Olivia was getting hassled by some guy. I was about to try to break it up when he showed me a badge.
"What's going on?" I questioned.
"This girl just tried to buy three grams of coke from me." He explained. So much for getting clean.
"Don't tell anyone." Olivia pleaded as she was dragged away.
"Okay, so maybe you're right." I told Kaitlin. "So now what do we do?"
"I think we shouldn't tell Marissa about this." She said. "We'll just tell her that we had to go home."
I then went to the bar where Rose was struggling to get the bartender's attention. I greeted him which got him to look at me.
"How do you do that?" She asked. I pointed to my hair. Guys seemed to prefer blondes. I then ordered a Pepsi. "So Vicki is telling Summer that we are together. I am officially dating Vicki now."
I decided to call Sandy to see if he knew what to do. I knew that going to the police station was a good idea. I took a cab there and told Rose to take Kaitlin home. Sandy came by and talked to the cops. I waited in the waiting room. I wasn't sure why I was doing it. I barely even knew the girl and I did want to be right. I probably I just didn't want Marissa to get hurt. I then noticed him coming out.
"Well?" I questioned.
"They're going to let her go." He answered as he took a seat next to me.
"How do you do that?" I asked.
"I'm just that good." He boasted. "And I used to play poker with these guys."
"Thanks for doing this, even though I'm not sure if this is a good idea." I admitted.
"Is she a friend of yours?" He asked. That was where things got a little bit complicated.
"She's a friend of Marissa's." I replied. "They met in therapy. She said that she had been clean for a while, but I guess that's not true. You don't have to stay. I will get her home."
When I got back to the house, I noticed that Kaitlin was there. I thought Rose would understand that I meant HER house.
"Does your mom not know you're staying over or just not care?" I inquired.
"I'm not staying over. I did want to say Marissa said thanks." She replied.
"Are you sure you don't want to stay over?" I asked as I began to kiss her.
"Oh, wow, kissing." Rose interrupted. I looked and noticed that she had Summer and Vicki with her. She was definitely my older sister. "We were all gonna hang out."
"Hey, what are we doing?" Holly asked. "What are we doing?"
"She's had too many Red Bulls." Rose explained. I already knew that.
"You two can go back to making out." Summer replied before everyone left the room.
"I think the moment has been ruined." I said. We then saw Rose and Holly were playing Yu-Gi-Oh
"Rhi, it's your turn." Holly said as Rose handed me her deck. We had a lot of fun.
So, a few different things happened in this episode. The main thing was Olivia causing trouble, but also Marissa. Please don't forget to review.
