chapter 36...
While the party kept on going at the snyder-farm vienna and henry were trying to cheer up their friend at al's.
"Can i get you anything else,katie,maybe something a late night snack or something?"asked henry;"Or something to drink."
"I could use a double vodka."answered she;"Or maybe a whole bottle."
"Drinking isn't the anwser,honey,it won't make you feel any better in the morning."warned vienna katie;"There are plenty of good guys around who are interested in you and who don't have an annoying ex hanging around."
"Vienna!"started her man surprised about vienna's words;"You're not helping!"
"Come on,henry,she needs to hear the truth and the truth is that she's better off without those snyder-men!"said she annoyed;"There's plenty of fish in the sea."
"Hey,guys,don't start fighting because of me!"answered katie tired;"I will be fine and i'm all over jack,so don't worry so much!"
At that point katie's cellphone started ringing and at first she picked up,but quickly hung up when she heard who it was;"Stop calling me!"
"Who was that?"asked her friend worried when he saw the upset look on katie's face;"Katie?"
"That was nobody."said she lying and got up;"Just an annoying fan."
"Where are you going?"started vienna surprised as katie walked towards the door;"It's still early enough."
"Not for me,vienna,thanks for beeing such good friends,but i'm tired and i just wanna go to bed."answered her friend while she walked away;"Bye,guys."
"What do you think that was all about?"asked she and turned towards henry;"You don't think katie is in some kind of trouble,do you?"
"Bubbles is always in some kind of trouble,honey,but if she needs our help she will ask for it."said henry as he kissed vienna;"If she doesn't want our help right now then there's nothing that we can do for her."
At the party lily was dancing with jack;"So,jack snyder,are you going to make carly happy this time around or are you going to get all judgemental on her once again if she makes a mistake?"
"Wow!"said he surprised and a bit stuned about lily's question;"Where is this coming from?"
"Carly is my friend and i just don't want to see her hurt again."answered his cousin's wife;"You're family and i love you,jack,but we both know that you snyder-men can get so high-and-mighty sometimes and i just hope that this time around you're going to stick to your promise that you won't turn your back on carly at the first sign of trouble."
"Thanks a lot."started jack slowly;"I know that i have been a real jackass in the past and we have both made mistakes,lily,but this time around we're both going to do whatever it takes to make this marriage work no matter what."
"I hope so,jack,i really do."said she;"You two belong together!"
Brad was sitting out on the snyder-porch when he saw sage sneaking out of the house,trying to get back to the party after her parents had send her upstairs to get ready for bed since it was allready past midnight;"Hey,shorty,what are you doing outhere?"
"Trying to sneak back to the party."smiled his niece;"Please don't tell mom and dad."
"Tell them what?"laughed brad as she sat down next to him;"My lips are sealed,sage,but if you don't wanna be caught i'd go back upstairs before they see you."
"I wish i could go with mom and dad on their honeymoon."said she;"They'll be gone for a week and i'll miss them."
"Ofcourse you'll miss them and they will miss you guys just as much,but they'll be back before you know it."answered her uncle;"Besides,you'll still have me."
"What are you doing downstairs,sage,you're suppose to be upstairs in your bed and i was just coming up to say goodnight?"asked carly surprised when she came on to the porch and saw her daughter sitting there with brad,so she put her arm around sage's shoulders;"Let's get you into bed."
"Goodnight,uncle brad."smiled she and gave brad a hug as they walked into the house;"I love you."
"Love you too,shorty."answered her uncle with a smile back;"Sweet dreams and don't let the bad bugs bite."
