Chapter 4

Molly opened her eyes to discover the room was now dark. I must have drifted off she thinks while sitting up. From outside of the door she could hear Ned and Irene going over the map. They weren't scheduled to leave until Tuesday but always liked to plan things ahead to be safe. Annoying music that can only belong to expensive video game systems is also heard, must likely being played by Jack and Clu. Clu would be here just for a few days; his flight is scheduled to leave on Tuesday as well. The bus surely wasn't the same without him. She figured Annie was in her room writing down new lyrics or whatever she did when she locked herself away from the rest of the group. Carey won't be back till real late, if even at all. He did have the habit of zonking out on people's couches.

Opening the door to leave the room the first thing Molly notices is that her guess on Annie's placement had been right. She wasn't always like that, Annie used to be real socialable, too socialable actually then all of the sudden went through a huge metamorphism like all teenagers do. Passing by what is the known as the boy's room, even though now majority of the time only one boy used it. Three months ago Jack and Carey bunked together now Carey is left sleeping in the common room with his dad. Neither Irene or Ned completely understand that one. Molly stands in the doorway watching the two of them, wanting to say something but not sure what exactly. They're too busy in fighting each other to death on the screen to notice her there. So she keeps on walking down the hallway.

"Hey Molls. We saved some dinner for you if you're hungry." Dinner the very word made Molly's stomach turn suddenly.

"Thanks but I'm not hungry." She said while leaning over Irene's shoulder to see what she was looking at. It was the list of the upcoming show dates and their venues. She stood there pretending to be reading, but taking secret glances at them. Because Molly knew in pretty son their relationship with each other would soon be non-existent. So she wanted to savior this moment and make it last forever. She had already lost Fiona, it was almost summer time for her to be heading back, but decided to stay till the end of vacation instead. Jack was here but apart of him was missing. Not counting Carey all she really had was Ned and Irene, but not for long.

"You sure? It's meat loaf, made by your truly." Ned says while pulling the refrigerator opening to show her the half empty plate of food.

"Well if you put it that way defiantly not." Molly says with a laugh while Ned playfully hitting her with a dishtowel. They get into a pretend fight for a few moments, with Irene looking at them as if they were crazy but let's them have their fun. Molly stops in mid hit when she notices Jack standing in the doorway with Clu. One of them is laughing the other like always isn't showing any emotion. Without thinking Molly reaches towards him, to hold him like she had so many times before. Jack jumps back as if he had been bite by a rattlesnake and goes towards his room slamming the door shut. Molly starts to cry again, with the three Bell's looking at each other trying to figure out what was going on.

Perhaps it was the hormones, or the nervousness, or maybe the stress of the situation had finally reached its breaking point in her. Molly knew before there might have been a chance for everyone to accept her and Carey's relationship. But not know now. Not with a baby. This thing inside of her, which was barely the size a pea, was destroying and taking all of Molly's family and friends from her. She knew she shouldn't, but at the moment feelings of resentment and hate flooded her soul.
