Bubbles
I finish all the grading just as the first bell rings. I sigh and lay back in my chair as the six graders file into the class. I smile and thank everyone for getting everything in on time and then tell them that we will be watching a movie today and that I brought popcorn and candy. The kids shout with joy. I let them select a movie. I put it in and pass out snacks and finally sit down behind my desk. Boomer has sent me text lowkey telling me that he may or may not have forgotten his own social status and that he's glad he's a painter or his wrist would have fallen off by now. I laugh and send him all the information I think he needs while settling down in my comfy chair. I grab my sketch-book and start sketching out a few pieces that the boys may like. I would give them toys and other things but then Blossom would be able to figure out who they are from so instead I make them little paintings that they've told me they leave in their books at home.
Blossom and I haven't talked in years.
When she got married to Dexter I told her that maybe she shouldn't rush into things but then she told me that she had to cause the twins where they were on the way. They got married and about eight months later the twins were born. But about three years after that I was watching the twins and Brett got hurt. They were playing and I went to get them juice and by the time I got back Brendon had pushed Brett into the table. I rushed them to the hospital and he was okay but they had to know his blood type quickly and I said A but about ten minutes later they came to me screaming at me asking if I was trying to hurt the kid because he was strictly an O- and a minute later he could have been killed. At that point I knew Blossom's secret. She was A and so was Dexter. When I went to ask her about it she denied everything and told me I was a stupid blonde and that I should keep my nose out of things that aren't my business. I left once I knew the kids were okay. After that I tried to talk to Blossom but she never answered any of my emails, texts, letters or calls. Eventually I gave up.
Every once in a while I wonder if I should have pushed harder. Tried to connect instead of blame. But Buttercup won't let me hear it.
"You did your best, You did what you knew how to do. It's not your fault if she wants to push you away. You did nothing wrong."
I repeat those words to myself till the day is over. As I'm walking to the car my phone rings. It's Boomer.
"Hey Boom-Boom!"
"How was work?"
"Okay, I had a lot on my mind though."
"Then it's good that the boys and your sister are here!"
"HEY AUNTIE BUBBLES!"
"Hey boys, how was the drive?"
"Butch kept having to stop since Brendon wouldn't stop getting road sick!"
"It's only because Brett dared me to eat three worms and I did!"
"It doesn't count if they come back up!"
"Give me that!" Buttercup grabs the phone and I hear Butch and Boomer talking to the boys. Soemthing about the dumb thing Butch made Boomer eat.
"So girl, How about you meet us at Olive Garden so we can eat and get a splash of wine in us." I laugh.
"Sure thing, I'll meet you guys there!"
"Sounds great, BOYS! Get your ass in the car now!"
"Yes Buttercup" I hear Boomer and Butchs voices along with the boys and laugh.
"See you soon."
"Love you."
"Love you more!" I hang up the phone and get into the car. At least I have this part of my family still.

I grip the toilet seat at work and breathe deeply. Okay, breakfast did not sit well with me today. I groan and get up wiping my mouth before sitting down. I check my phone and respond to emails until all the nausea has passed. I make my way out of the bathroom and down the hall to Brick's office.
"Alright, thank you." He's hanging up the phone as I walk in and I motion to the couch and sit. He watches me and raises an eyebrow.
"Are you alright? You look a little pale." I nod.
"I'm fine, I'm just working on an empty stomach at the moment.
"I thought you would have eaten breakfast."
"I just got busy and forgot this morning. It's nothing, no need to worry."
"I didn't just want to make sure my employees can all work and do their best." He stands up. "And since it is almost lunch time, how about you join me at that new steakhouse." I light up but try not to let it show.
"Oh are you talking about Ky's?" He nods.
"I heard he came from California to open this new restaurant."
"How come? I mean Los Angeles is a great place for food."
"And so is New York. I mean why do you and I travel from California to New York all the time."
"Mostly because of family."
"Right, but the money is here." I shrug and start work on my tablet. A little window pops up and I smile.
"Maybe after the steakhouse we can stop by the Four Seasons."
"For dessert?"
"Yes." I look up and Brick winks. This is going to be a good day.
