So quick news!
I'm not only premiering "Survive Raccoon High" but I will also be premiering "Bring Me Flowers" or I may change the title by then, but bottom line is I'll be doing both stories. I'll post a quick preview at the end of the chapter.
I also had a lot of stuff going on like the loss of a family member, me traveling out and missing some auditions that almost meant my whole life (exactly 5 minutes right after I posted chapter 27). But, I'm okay now.
Billy's POV
He couldn't believe it was finally time.
Time to see his own mother. From what seem like almost a decade since he'd seen her.
He wondered if she would hate him for not letting her know how he'd been. Or if she would have a heart attack of seeing him alive and die from it.
It was all just too hard to think about at the moment.
Luckily, he'd managed to sneak up to his old room by using the window and wait there until he could spy Leon coming to the doorway and knocking on the door. For now, everything was just plain quiet.
By then he'd get ready to carefully talk to his mother and tell her everything.
For now, he just waited in his room, lying on that comfortable and familiar bed. Hell did it feel good to be home. Billy sat up for a bit and looked around the room.
Everything was just exactly as he remembered it. Just the way he left it before he left to the marines.
After what seemed like the first time in years he'd done this, he walked over to his closet and checked it.
He smirked. It was still half empty, just like he remembered.
Now he heard a few steps from down stairs. Billy went to look out the window, and was glad to see Leon knocking on the door.
Billy sighed and turned away from the window. "Looks like it's time."
Claire's POV
Claire couldn't believe it.
Why hadn't it hit her that the mornings were the perfect time to go shopping.
For some reason, Claire had chosen to go buy the dress a day later than what Jill and her had agreed. But Claire didn't get to see the twins the day before due to looking through the bar for a "CLOSED" sign. Then again, she was still excited to go buy it.
She rushed in the first wedding dress store she found perfect.
With a wide grin, and Rebecca's size in hand, she walked deeper into the store to finally come across a helper.
"Hello, my happy customer." The lady said. "Are you looking for the perfect dress for your wedding?"
"Well, it's not really m wedding." Claire said excitedly. "You see, my friend's boyfriend is making a surprise wedding for her. And he asked me to come pick out the right dress just for her."
"Well, what size is your friend?" the lady asked.
Claire handed her the paper. "She's really petite."
"Follow me." The lady said as she guided Claire into an area full of more wedding dresses and one mannequin that looked like Rebecca's body shape. "Here are dresses that should be the size your friend is. You can try them on that mannequin to see if you like them or not."
"Thank you so much." Claire told her as she left, and then started looking through the dresses in front of her.
She carefully studied one by one as she went through the white cloth filled wrackets.
Two hours went on as Claire tried on a few dresses on the mannequin, shook her head or stared thoughtfully at the sight.
In conclusion, non of them seemed to look perfect, but luckily there was one more to look at.
Claire carefully took it out, and for the first time in two exhausting hours, smiled.
She took out the big puffy dress from the wracket, knowing this was the one.
She desperately walked to the mannequin and tried it on to it.
It looked so perfect to her! Just the way the top had no sleves and the bottom was so puffy and big that looked like if it were made for a princess. Not only that, but the way it had some glitter on to it made an illusion of an angel's dress.
Claire quickly took of the mannequin and raced to the lady.
"I'll take this one." Claire said eagerly.
The lady looked at the dress Claire held, and smiled approvingly. "Your very lucky to buy that one for her. That's the only dress we have that's really beutiful, and at good prize." She took it and checked it out for purchase. "Not to mention, the dress comes with these." The lady took out a white box and opened it for Claire to see.
The white box had two white single finger gloves that matched the dress and a long folded sparkly almost see through cloth that Claire knew for sure would look good on Rebecca's hair once the wind blew on that shore.
"Man, do I feel lucky to find her this." Claire exclaimed and purchased the dress.
"Would you like it on a box or bag?" The lady asked.
"Umm, whatever makes it easy to carry around. It may be just be a bunch of cloth in there, but it sure is heavy to hold."
"Box it is." The lady said while she folded up the dress and placed it in a box. "I'll be including a hanger just for the case." The lady handed Claire the purchased dress and the extra stuff.
"Thank you." Claire said and hurried to Jill's house.
She quickly rushed into the house and hurried up the stairs.
Once she arrived into the room, she set the box on the bed and began to take out the dress and place it onto the hanger.
After satisfyingly hanging the dress in Jill's closet, she rested against the wall, next to her.
Damn had it been a hell of a long day.
Rebecca's POV
The hospital in the morning was so calm. Almost no noise, and the nurses barely doing work. But, Rebecca wasn't in the hall, she was in Jill's room. Waiting for Chris to come back with the lunch he would buy.
She looked at Jill, in her hospital bed.
It was only the third day since she'd given birth to the twins, but Rebecca had to admit she looked too tired, like if not long ago the twins we're born.
And speaking of the twins, Rebecca looked to Jill's right, where a small bed stood. Where two little babies slept.
Not long ago a nurse had came in to let them be with the mother, but it so turned out to be that the mother was sleeping, so they just slept soundly in that small wheel bed for babies.
Rebecca was too hungry to go look at the twins from up close. She also didn't want to disturb them nor the mother. But now that she thought of it, she was getting curious.
She stood up, and headed to where the twins were and looked at them.
Now, straight off the bat Rebecca knew they looked more like Chris, except they had Jill's hair color. Rebecca still wasn't quite sure about their eyes, but they were so cute.
Rebecca then went back to her seat at the couch nearby and smiled.
She was so happy to have finally talked to Billy and know he was okay. That thought actually got Rebecca thinking a little, wondering when he'd be back.
"A week or less"was what he had told her, and Rebecca was counting on that.
Chris then walked in the room and had their lunch. "Here's what you asked for." he said as he handed Rebecca her own bag of food, and looked at Jill, who had been awake.
"Did you just wake up?" Rebecca asked as she took her food.
Jill nodded and triede to sit up a little bit. "I'm still tired like hell though." She then looked over to Susan and Christopher. "I'm glad they're at least resting." Jill then turned to Rebecca. "You look pretty tired yourself. Why don't you go rest and then come back? I mean you've been here for almost two days."
Rebecca looked at her watch and saw the time. Honestly, Rebecca hadn't slept, and it was really obvious. "Sure." Rebecca stood up with her lunch, and left the room, in hopes of finally getting some good rest now that she knew about Billy.
Leon's POV
Leon knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer it. This had been the second time he'd been here, the first time was to drop off Billy and let him a in the house from his room's window.
But now, he just waited. He was about to knock again until a dark haired woman opened the door. She stared at Leon. "May I help you?"
"Um, yes, I'm here to talk to you about some recent information I found that may intrest you, ma'am." Leon said.
"Look, please understand, but if you're a salesman then-"
"No, I'm not selling anything, ma'am." Leon quickly broke her off. "I'm just here to talk to you."
The woman stared at him, as in questioning herself, but let Leon in anyway. "Well, what do you have to say, Mr. . . .?"
"Please," Leon shook her hand. "call me Leon. And I guess I should start. This about your son."
"My son's off in college." She said.
"No, your other son." Leon said.
The woman paused, almost in shock but interest. "What do you know about Billy? He died along time ago."
"Well," Leon began and looked past her. "please understand he's not dead. He's alive, and he would like to talk to you."
"W-where is he?" She asked desperately.
"Much closer than you think, ma'am." Leon then turned away and just stood there.
The woman wanted to ask more but the voice she hadn't heard, and never thought she'd here again stopped her.
"Mom." Billy gently spoke from behind her, hoping so bad he wouldn't scare her.
She slowly turned around, and clapped her hands around her mouth, not believing her eyes. "Billy? Is that really you?"
Billy sighed. "Yes, mom. It's me."
His mom just stood there, not knowing what to do as happy tears began to fill her eyes.
"Mom, please don't cry now." He told her, but was then hugged by her so tightly, he just returned the hug to his own mother.
"How can I do that? You're standing right here in front of me." She said as she looked at him again. "And me and your brother thought you were dead after-"
"I was proved innocent with help from someone." Billy interrupted her.
"And who's that someone?" She asked, as she tried to wipe her tears.
Billy took out a picture of Rebecca and showed it to his mother."Her."
She studied the picture very well, and then looked up at Billy with that question he knew she'd ask. "She's very pretty. Is this your new girlfriend I don't know about yet?"
"Your such a good guess, mom." Billy almost said with a laugh. "And she's also why I came to talk to you about."
"What do you mean?"
"This is going to be a long story." Billy said as he led her to the kitchen, leaving Leon looking around the place.
Bring Me Flowers Preview
"I don't know." Rebecca walked over to the small table in the room. "I don't think it would be a great idea for me."
"What are you talking about, my child?" Katherine said as she sipped from her tea. "I'm his grandmother, and trust me darling, I know my grandson."
Rebecca turned to look at her. "But I'm just a servant. These kind of things don't seem like something a servant should do. Or something that isn't even aloud from the other members."
"Well, if I allow it, I guess it wouldn't be a problem now would it?"
"That's not all, he has a girlfriend." Rebecca said sadly.
"But he's not interested in her." Katherine snorted in a fancy way. "It's you who he's interested in, Rebecca."
Rebecca walked over to her and knelt down, looking up to her with hope in her eyes. "You really think so?"
Katherine placed a hand on her shoulders. "I know so. Besides, who do you think he comes and talks to when he has something on his mind? Now come on, we've got some arranging for tonight."
Rebecca stood up. "What will you do?"
"I will take you to pick out a dress for tonight and maybe put some long extensions on your short hair, just to make a good hairstyle. And once your all set, I'll have my grandson take you by the hand and be your escort to the party once you make your entrance, my dear. All eyes will be on you."
"Oh, I already have some hair extensions that I wore when Jill and Claire made me go with them to a club, but they only come a little past my shoulders." Rebecca said.
"Then the list remains the same. Now go dress out of that uniform and dress into something else becuase we're going out, this whole day will focus on you being Billy's partner for tonight."
"Yes, Katherine, but what about E-"
"Leave that, to me." Katherine said as she walked out of the room.
Well, that's it. Review will be good.
