~!* Chapter 4 *!~
I walked into my house and picked up my phone to check on the messages in my voice mail, their was one from Serena inviting me to a sleepover next weekend and one from my mom saying she and Jamie were coming to visit me in three weeks."Yipeee!" I squeled to Artemis, he just smiled, he had obviously checked the messages too. "What is your mom like Mina? I forgot" Artemis admited, I shot him a look that read: 'I can't belive you!'. Artemis shifted from paw to paw uncomfortabley waiting me to answer."Well, she has short,cropped blonde hair and almost always is in her navy buisness suits that match her eyes, now do you remeber?" I asked him. Artemis nodded, I wasn't mad at him for forgetting what my mom looked like, he rarely saw her because she's allergic to cats. "I have one more question, who is Major Hottie Andrew?"
Artemis added waving my math notebook that I had scribled 'Major Hottie Andrew' and 'I love Andrew' all over. I blushed, slapped him on the back of his head for reading my notebook and snatched it out of his hand."None of your buisness!" I snapped heading to take another shower, Artemis rolled his eyes then went out of the house,probally looking for Luna.It was Sunday and usually I'd go to the nearby church but, it was too late for that now so I decided just to read my bible at home. I read a couple of chapters of Matthew then put my bible down and stretched out on the couch.Since it was Sunday the arcade would be closed, and I couldn't ask Andrew about getting a part time job there, no not because I like him, just because I need the money for the weekly phone calls to England. I sighed then went over to my computer to check my email. I gasped there were 7 emails from Raye, 2 from Lita, and 1 from Amy. I read amy's first it said a bunch of things about the new enemy if I wanted to be scout and such and such. Lita's first one was the same but the second one was talking about how she meet this guy who looked EXACTALLY like an old boyfriend. I rolled my eyes at that, sounds like Lita! Rayes emails didn't pester me about scout buisness they just said that she would never forgive me for leaving her with a bunch of morons(excluding Amy in smarts and Lita for behavior,which basically just left Serena) and one of them gave me a very vivid description of one of her latest visions. It said that she saw a bunch of burning buildings and stuff and she needed my help to decifer it. The last email she sent me asked why I hadn't been to the temple lately and why I don't talk to her anymore. That one I HAD to reply:
~From: LuverGurl686@angel.org
To: H-e-doublehockeysticks@spitfire.net
Hey, sorry about the not talking to you lately thing, um, me and Molly have been hanging out alot,double sorry!=`( Well, I'm going to try to get a job at the arcade, so I can have some spare change and stuff so look for me there sometime woiul ya? About your vision, it sounds really scarey maybe it's the end of the world?!I have a confession to make, but first you have to promise not to tell any of the scouts! Okay?~ I sent that then almost got an imediate reply:
~From: H-e-doublehockeysticks@spitfire.net
To:LuverGurl1686@angel.org
I promise.~

I really quit being a scout because I couldn't handle it anymore. I felt like killing alien monsters was the only thing that I'm usefull for! I had no social life, my grades were dropping, and all the stress was really eating away at me. The thing that scared me into actually quiting was that I actually enjoyed killing that monster in a sick twisted kind of way. Did I make the right decision?~
I sighed and clicked send, getting that off my chest felt SO good!

Definately! You know if you ever feel like coming back I know for a fact that we'd all welcome you. I'm not saying you should,actually being a normal teenager is starting to sound tastey right about now! I'm kinda worried about Lita, she's totally obsessing about the new enemy and finding weak points, she's found out more info about them then Amy has! She's never been this agressive without punching in someone's face, I think it could be bad for her,ya know?~
I replyed saying that Lita probally had a good reason but, Raye had obviously already signed off and I didn't get another reply. I sighed again and looked at my watch, it was only 5:00 and I had nothing to do! At first I thought about bugging Molly some more but I remebered that she had a date with Melvin at 4:30 and probally wouldn't be back untill around 9:30 or so. I decided to go to the temple and visit Raye, afterall she had wondered why I hadn't been visiting so maybe she'd like the surprise. I put on my highschool jacket and walked out the door towards the temple. I was just coming to the stop sign at the end of my road when I heard a beep behind me. I turned my head and saw a smiling Andrew waving me over to talk. "So how's it been Miss.Monkey?" he asked putting one arm on his rolled down window. "I'm fine, Molly's got a date so I thought I'd go to my friend Raye's house"I shrugged staring off into the direction I was heading. "Is that the one that's always tortureing Serena?" Andrew asked, I smiled, "the one and only". He laughed and told me to hop in and we'd give me a lift to the temple. On the way there he talked about how he'd finally bet my score on the racing game.The mention of that day got me sauirming uncomfortabley, "so is uh you and Reika okay? She looked kinda ticked when me and Molly left..."I muttered not looking him in the eye. "Oh yeah about that, she was just being paranoid...thinking I was,uh, well she was just being paranoid" Andrew repeated as he pulled up to the trail to the temple."I'm glad everything's ok,well see you, thanks for giving me a lift" I added waving him good bye and starting up the trail. I heard him giving an extra push on the peddle as he drove away, making a squeling noise. I smiled, 'what a show off' I thought.
I saw Raye outside messing with a bunch of sheets of music, "whatcha doin'?" I asked making her jump."Mina!!!" she squeled enveloping me in a tight bear hug, Raye stepped back and blushed at her sudden outburst. "Oh I'm just going over a couple things Chad sent me from the US, he's there on tour right now" Raye added sadly. "Why didn't you go with him?" I asked sitting next to her on the steps,"isn't it obvious?! There's way too many responsiblitys in being a scout and there is no way they would've let me just pack my things and head towards the USA, no I thought about it but, it wouldn't have worked out anyway.."Raye trailed off looking up at the setting sun. "And why wouldn't it?!" I asked feircely, here one of my best friends had the chance of major happiness with a guy she likes and she threw it all away because off scouts! "Well you know his band has a drummer(Kevin)a gitarist(him) and a singer(Lindie) well, Chad's kinda interested in Lindie right now and i would've just gotten in the way"Raye finished with a lonely sigh as she looked at the sheet music in her hands."He sent me this tune to get some lyrics to but, I think I might accidently put something in the lyrics indicating that I, well you know"Raye muttered, I nodded. So here was my friend, stuck in love with a majorly cool guitarist but can't have him because of her scout responsibilitys and another girl, hum sounds kinda familiar. I wrapped one arm around her shoulder, "write with your heart like you always do, its that simple, if they don't like it it's not the end of the world" I encorged her. Raye's eyes were full of doubt but she began to sqribble in her notebook anyway. In a couple minutes she laid it down for me to look at, twidling her thumbs nervously.
~ (slow)
No matter how hard I try
My hand never fits yours just right
You have that wild look in your eyes
I don't no why
I'm fallin'!
(fast)
I cry
every sigle night
Don't care if it's wrong or right
Never could tell my left from my right..
why won't you listen!
I'm here
Facin' my fears
Tryin' to fight away the tears
But you're there away from me
Half way across the sea!
(slow)
Was it something I said?
Did I do something wrong?
What the hell did I say?
You're driving away!
(fast)
I cry
every single night
Don't care if it's wrong or right
Never could tell my left from my right..
why won't you listen!
I'm here
Facin' my fears
Tryin' to fight away the tears
But you're there away from me
Half way across the sea!
(slower)
I cry
every single night
Don't care if it's wrong or right
Never could tell my left from my right..
why won't you listen!
I'm here
Facin' my fears
Tryin' to fight away the tears
But you're there away from me
Half way across the sea!
away from me, away from me, away from...me~
I smiled up at her and asked her to sing it for me, it had a upbeat rythm and it fitted Raye's breathy voice just perfect. "This, is really good, you should send it to him with you singing it" I suggested. Raye thought for a moment, "well he did send me a tape of his band playing it so I geuss I could just merge it together and send it to him.."Raye muttered more to herself then me. I gave her a huge hug then asked if I could use her phone. Raye nodded and pointed to the kitchen in her house and I ran to it like a bullet. My phone rang three times before soemone picked it up, "hey Artemis, can you get someone to pick me up at Raye's temple please" I said quickly, the voice that answered me was not my cat's. "Honey, you're talking to your cat again?!" I heard my mom laugh, I almost dropped the phone I was so surprised. "M-Mom?" I stuttered, "yours truely" she laughed, I laughed back akwardly. The message had said that they weren't coming untill three weeks later. "Uh,Mom, weren't ya'll gonna come later?" I asked, Mom said she WAS but Jamie couldn't wait to see her older sister so they took the family jet here as fast as they could. I smiled, that was just like Mom: spoiling Jamie rotten. "Okay,um, can you come pick me up at the temple" I gave her the directions and she told me she'd send Henry over to pick me up. I grimaced,why did my mom bring her boyfriend along?" Why's HE here?!" I asked a little more coldly than I intended,Mom told me that he had instisted to come for her and Jamie's safety. I snorted, that was the biggest load of bullshit I'd ever heard! Everyone in the family knew Henry was using Mom for her money, well everyone except Mom. The last time I tried to tell her she told me that she understood my doubts about her dating again but that Henry using her was 'absolutely absurd' and then she sent me up to my room to think about my manners. "Honey, is that ok with you?" she asked me, almost pleading in her voice, I sighed, "y-yeah, sure, I d-don't care" I finally choked out. My throat was tightening and I think I was about to cry. I wasn't THAT upset that Henry was here, it's just that Andrew and Reika aren't breaking up, Mom comes for a visit out of the blue bringing her snobby user boyfriend and the stress of life itself were all bearing down on me. "Bye honey, I love you" my mom whispered in the phone, I managed to choke out a 'love you too Mommy' before I started crying silently. I wiped my tears away with the sleeve of my jacket and went outside to wait for Henry.
