Ch. 4: Acceptance

Otto limped up the stairs, he wanted to talk to Reggie. He knocked on her door. "Go away!" she screamed

Otto: " Reggie its me can I come in I wanna talk. "

Reggie: " Fine, come in."

Otto walked into the room he sat on Reggie's bed with a confused look on his face.

Otto: " Reggie I thought you hated Lars. "

Reggie: " Well.. I did...but I didn't... I guess just kinda thought I did. "

Otto: " How can you hate someone one day and love them the next?"

Reggie got up from her bed and pulled the curtain over a little bit from the sliding glass door and looked out across at Lars' house and sighed "I don't know, I just got to know him, he's really not the mean selfish guy he had always seemed to be. "she said while pulling the curtain all the way over and opening the door and walking out onto the deck.

Otto: *sighing* " I just don't get it. " he followed her onto the deck.

Reggie: " What's there to get? "

Otto: " I dunno I'll talk to you later I have some stuff to do. "

Reggie: " Ok. "

Otto walked back inside he went to his room and sat on his bed he decided it was time to make peace with Lars especially since his sister and him were going out now. He got dressed changed, put on some shoes and walked across the street to Lars and Twister's house he knocked on the door but there was no answer. -Maybe there in the back yard. - he thought. He walked around the house. Lars was sitting on a lawn chair, watching Twister play with the birds in the garden his parents had made so many years ago.

****FLASHBACK****

Lars was 12, his Mom and dad where watering plants, Twister was out skateboarding with friends, Lars had been grounded for pulling a prank on Twister. Every thing was fine, he was happy, he had rather decent friends. Not soon after that his dad started getting drunk, his dad started cheating on his Mom, he stayed out all night. No more watering the garden, no more being happy. Lars never got over the divorce, Twister did...or so it seemed.

****END FLASHBACK****

Lars noticed Otto standing near the house.

Otto: " Lars... "

Lars: " Otto...? "

Otto: " I umm.. just came over to say hi... "

Lars: " Oh..*yelling* Twist come here Otto is here to see you. "

Otto: " Actually.. I came to see you. "

Lars: " Me? "

Otto: " Yeah... "

Lars gave Otto a weird look. Twister came over to see what was going on.

Twister: " Hey guys come check out what I found!

Otto and Lars both followed Twister to the corner of the garden furthest away from there house.

A/N: Yet another God awful cliffhanger!

Just some stuff I thought you might like to know...

1. In the story everyone is going to get a year older eventually, the only birthdays really celebrated will be Reggie's Twister's and Lars'

2. No other couples will be in the story, this is just a Reggie/Lars fic.

3. Lars' and Twister's Mom is going to die later in the story.

Hope I didn't ruin anything for you guys. Yes, I know Sam hasn't really been in this story but I have another story which will be up probably around Thanksgiving where he will be in it a lot. Also I know Otto is OOC but he's 14 now he has to grow up sometime!
