Well if you've made it this far then yay! Thank you very much you two who
posted, especially for all your advice! I'm really sorry my story looked
like that for it's first chapter! I didn't know it would do that.It didn't
look like that on my computer..grrr.But HOPEFULLY I've fixed it. Also I'm
sorry it's been a few days since I've gotten back to you my computer died,
and so I was left without one but now it's working again (for now.) So I
should be writing more regularly! Thanks.and oh yeah.

"Hey Jimena," A warm voice called out as Jimena stepped out of her car.
Shit. Jimena thought, Now Collin is going to wonder why I came over without calling. And if I tell him that I don't want to spend time with him, he might get upset.
Shit Collin thought I'm about to go surfing, but if I tell Jimena that then she might get mad.
Jimena bit her lip. "Well.I actually really need to talk to Serena."
"What's wrong?" Collin asked, his hand reaching out to take hers.
"Just some weird dreams and stuff." Jimena answered.
"Nothing about me right?" Collin asked, and though his tone was teasing, his eyes were dark with worry.
"No, Collin." Jimena laughed, and threw her arms around his neck kissing him. "I hope you don't mind.that I want to see Serena instead of be with you." Now Jimena was worried. This was one large problem with having your best friend's brother be your boyfriend. It had led to a few fights between Serena, and Jimena.
Collin laughed, "Actually I was on my way to go surfing.I was hoping that you wouldn't be upset if I went surfing instead of staying here with you."
"Nope. Not at all." Jimena said.
Collin smiled, and wrapped an arm around her waist holding her tight, and giving her a lingering kiss.
A throat cleared on the porch behind them.
"Woah!" Collin pulled himself away quickly, and Jimena felt herself flush. "Sorry." Serena said, and Jimena could see that she truly was sorry to have broken the two apart.
"See ya later." Collin said, and his hand lingered on her waist a moment before he turned and walked over to his van, and waving said. "You two be good!" Then he hopped in and drove off.
"I'm really sorry." Serena said. "I thought I heard you that's all. I didn't know." "No! It's okay! We were just.saying good-bye you know." Jimena said, embarrassed.
"I have had boyfriends." Serena said, laughing. Though Jimena heard a small self-mocking note in her voice.
"That boy ain't worth it." Jimena told Serena.
Serena looked away. "Let's go do your reading."
Jimena let it drop but she knew that Serena had still not forgotten about Stanton and it killed Jimena to know that her best friend was in so much pain. She simply followed her inside, and waited while Serena shuffled her cards with careful efficiency. Then she slowly laid three cards out on the table.
"This one is you." And Serena pointed to the first card. Her hand moved to the second one. "This is the surroundings, and reasoning behind your question."
She moved to flip the first card but Jimena stopped her.
"What's the third card?" Jimena asked.
"I don't know yet." Serena replied.
She flipped the first card. "The Queen of Cups, this card denotes a warm-hearted and sincere person. Beloved, and adored. Good friend. Practical. Honest. Loving Intelligence. Bestowed with the gift of vision."
"You say that card represents me?" Jimena asked in shock.
"Yes." Serena nodded.
Jimena shook her head hardly able to believe how amazingly accurate her best friend was with Tarot cards.
Serena flipped the next card. "King of Cups, reversed." (Basically for those of you, who don't read Tarot cards, it means that the card is upside down, which means that the meaning is different.)
"Oh." Jimena breathed, worriedly. "Does that mean something bad is going to happen to Collin?"
Serena started. "Why would something bad happen to Collin?"
"Well.If I'm the Queen of Cups." Jimena started.
"Well." Serena bit her lip. "That doesn't necasserily mean Collin. It could have no connection."
"You're right." Jimena breathed, though she was still worried. "What does it mean?"
"This card means there is some kind of double dealing, and dishonesty surrounding you. Some kind of scandal, and loss. Ruin. Injustice. A crafty person without virtue. Shifty in dealings."
"I don't understand." Jimena asked, slowly. Her fingers gently caressed a ring Collin had given her.
"The girl in your dream.she was trapped, unjustly trapped.and she was beating taunted by men without virtue.It must mean her." Serena said, her eyes intense.
"Flip the next card." Jimena, said, desperately.
Serena slowly flipped it.
Jimena gasped.
"The Devil." Serena's voice was low as she spoke "Subordination.Malevolence.Black Magic.Unexpected failure.Violence.Temptation to Evil-" her voice broke. "I can't.I must have made a mistake!"
"No." Jimena looked at Serena. "The girl in my dream.must be.Me."
"Hey Jimena," A warm voice called out as Jimena stepped out of her car.
