AUTHORS NOTES: writing issues resolved, I didn't even write what I had originally planned for this installment, the introduction of a new character… Wooopsies! Next one, darlings, next one… hehe
The poem in the story is one of mine, and I wrote it when I was Reggie's age in the fic I'd luv to hear opinions on it….
Since I forgot last time, a big spanxies to Moonie Moon for advise with where to go!! A big special hug 4 u!!! And now the story….
I growled upon hearing the doorbell ring for the second time, you would think with two other people in this house that someone would go and open the damn door, or whoever was standing on our doorstep would get a clue, and leave us alone! Of course I couldn't be that lucky, fate had decided that I was its bitch, and despite taking a break for a little while, it seemed to come back ten fold. I put Mason's bathrobe on and went downstairs, to see who it was. Now they were knocking angrily, although I wouldn't know why he would be visiting us, I had a feeling I knew who it was.
"Georgia! Get the door!!" I heard Daisy call from downstairs.
"Why couldn't you do it?" I grumbled to myself, I had a pretty good idea that she was still entertaining whoever it was we had heard he with the night before.
I opened the door, and without even saying anything, Rube let himself in and sat down on the couch.
"Where are your roommates?" he asked.
I looked at my watch. "At this time, you really need to ask?"
"Don't fuck with me Peanut!"
"They're sleeping, Daisy hasn't even began her morning routine yet."
"So what are you doing up?"
I shook my head. "Well you weren't going away, so I got out of bed."
"Get them down here, we need to talk."
"Now?" I whined.
"Yes now! Why would I come here now if I wanted to talk to them later!"
Yes my liege! I rolled my eyes, and went downstairs first, knowing that Mason would be easier to make raise. I knocked on Daisy door.
"I'm busy Georgia!" she yelled.
"I know you are, but Rube's here and he wants to talk to us."
"Oh, I'll be out in a few then!"
I then went upstairs, to my room, where Mason was still asleep. He looked so innocent when he was sleeping, I laughed at the thought of Mason's innocence. I jumped on the bed, and kissed him lightly. He grabbed me and pinned me under him.
"Georgie, it's been a while since you woke me up like this!" he exclaimed happily.
"Don't I wish, Rube's here."
He let me go. "Damn, that kills the mood doesn't it. And you're in my bathrobe and everything." I swear I saw him make a pouty face.
I kissed him lightly. "Maybe tomorrow."
There was a twinkle in his eyes, and he got up and got up and put on a pair of pants. Neither of us felt like getting dressed. We went downstairs, and Rube was in the kitchen making himself a cup of coffee.
"Do you two want anything?" he asked.
"Shouldn't we be the ones asking you that?" Mason asked him. "But since you're offering I'll have a tea."
"I'll have coffee," I mumbled, instinctively going to the fridge to get the milk out.
"Georgia be a dear and make some coffee," Daisy said coming up the stairs, seeing some guy to the door. She was wearing a long white silk nightgown with a matching flowing bathrobe.
I put the milk on the table, and then went to get the sugar, and some spoons. This was why I was glad that we still met elsewhere but here in the morning, without even thinking I went into hostess mode, while the two of them wanted to be served. A few moment later, Rube brought two of the cups into the kitchen, and brought the other two, and we all sat down.
"So what brings you here on this lovely morning?" Daisy asked, pouring milk into her cup.
"You're in trouble."
"What did I do?" she asked, confused.
"Not just you, all three of you!"
"What did we do?" asked Mason. "We haven't even been plotting anything lately."
Rube rolled his eyes. "Will you stop interrupting me, and let me explain. Maybe trouble isn't the right word. Roxy asked for a transfer today."
"And this effects us how?" I asked.
"Stop interrupting!!" he snapped at me. "She said the reason that she doesn't want to work here anymore is that she doesn't want to work with the three of you anymore."
"What did we do?" asked Daisy.
"That's what I'd like to know!" Rube growled.
I couldn't think of anything that I had done to Roxy, from what I knew Mason and Daisy were pretty much steering clear of her cause she had been in a bad mood the last little while. I was kind of avoiding her too because I didn't want to get the brunt of her temper.
"Well maybe she's just mad that we haven't included her in the stuff we do, but that's because, well…" I tried to explain.
"You mean she's jealous that we all live together?" Daisy asked.
"Maybe. You never know with Roxy."
"We didn't mean to not include her, the living arrangements just make sense," Mason defended.
Rube nodded. "I understand that, but I don't think it's the only thing."
"That's the only thing we've done, and that was not to hurt her."
He sighed. "She was really pissed off, and I want to know what you did!"
"We told you! If she wants to pissed off because she has a day job, and none of us do, then let her. It's her choice to have one!" Daisy began to yell. "I get everything I need without working, I don't see why she can't do it."
"Have you told her this?"
She shrugged. "Well, maybe when I was mad at her."
"And did you involve George and Mason?"
She smiled. "I didn't mean to, when I get angry things just start coming out of my mouth, and I don't mean it and everyone knows it. I've been have some female issues of late, and my mouth gets carried away, you know how it is." "Well you better think pretty hard about what you said to her, and not do the same thing to whoever's going to replace her!"
He handed us each our post-its and proceeded to let himself out of the house. We all looked at each other, smiles forming. We waited a moment to see if Rube came back, and he didn't, and we all started laughing.
"He's pissed," Mason said.
"Really pissed," I added.
Daisy laughed. "I can't believe she took all that stuff serious, it was just a silly argument. I told her that we should go shopping, and get a make over. She told me that she didn't have time to do that, and I told her that if she would just quit her silly day job then we could all hang out together. She got mad, and walked away. If someone's going to run away on account of that well let them, we don't need friends like that anyway."
Mason shook his head. "You have a skewed worldview. You know that?"
Daisy smiled. "Since when did you use such technical terms, my dear Mason."
He shrugged. "Sometimes I pick stuff up from Georgie."
She looked at her post-it, and sighed. "How am I supposed to get dressed, eat and get to where I need to be in an hour?"
"Everyone else manages it somehow," I mumbled, heading upstairs to change.
"Don't you be using the shower Georgia!"
"I have to be in class in half an hour it'll take me five minutes."
Daisy ran into the bathroom and locked the door behind her. I sighed and looked at Mason.
"No, we are not moving to a place with two bathrooms with showers, this place is already too big for us."
I pouted, and went upstairs. "Well at least you won't have to worry about me cheating on you today, I probably stink." "Georgie you always smell good."
I shook my head, and went upstairs, and closed the door to our room. I came down a few minutes later, with my hair pulled back in a ponytail, wearing one of his T-shirts, and a pair of fleece pants.
"Could you give me a drive while Princess is in the bathroom?" I asked.
He nodded, and we went out the door. He dropped me off at school, and I only had a few minutes to spare before my first class started. I hadn't even looked at my post it. When I did I realized that someone at the school was going to die, and lucky for me at that time I didn't have a class so I could go between classes, at least something today was working out for me. I kissed Mason lightly before getting into the car, and then ran into the school, to my first class. I sat down between two guys, and hoped that they would shut up during the lecture. They were quiet, and the lecture was actually pretty interesting.
Between classes, I went upstairs to where K. M. Smith was supposed to die, in the dorms of course. I looked and couldn't see anything that looked out of the of the ordinary. Everything in university dorms was potentially dangerous. Then I heard something that was not out of the ordinary, but at five minutes to and ETD was very dangerous. "CHUG!! CHUG!! CHUG!!" I heard a guy screaming. A drinking contest at noon, now I knew that my peers really did do whatever the hell they wanted whenever the hell they wanted.
Then I heard what made me sure that I was following the sound to where someone was going to die. "Let's go Karen!!" a girl exclaimed. "Show them that girls can drink just as much as guys." I walked over to the room, and there was a crowd gathering. I went over to the girl, who must be Karen, who was chugging a beer. I walked passed her and patted her on the shoulder. "You go girl." I said before taking her soul. I walked to the back of the crowd. Moments later she began to choke, and everyone started laughing. It's funny how when you get in trouble in a large group all your friends think that you're joking until it's too late do anything to help you. If it wasn't for the fact I'd get in trouble I would have told them that their friend was going to die.
I looked at my watch, poor kid was going to be choking for two minutes, and have to listen to all of her friends laughing at her for that long. Just then a guy came up from behind her to try and do the Heimlich. He looked pretty drunk himself, and I knew that this could not end up well. He was a pretty large guy, and she was a pretty small girl. He over judged his strength, and managed to push the little air that she had left in her out, and moment later she died, leaving a very confused soul, heading toward me.
"Let's go," I told her.
She looked at me confused, but did follow me to somewhere a little quieter.
"What just happened?" she asked.
"I'd say you lost the contest, but I don't think anyone's going to care that the guy won," I told her.
"Why not?"
"Well, because I think more people will remember the girl who died."
"I'm dead?"
"Uh, yeah."
"And you are?"
"A grim reaper."
"Don't you go to school here?"
"Yeah, we grim reapers have lives too you know."
She nodded. "So what now?"
"Well if you have no unfinished business you move on, else I help you with said unfinished business."
"I can't think of anything I want to do."
"Then you'll know when it's time for you to leave."
She nodded, and then a beer factory appeared. She walked toward it, and she was gone. I proceeded to my next class. After school I passed by the park, and Reggie was sitting there, looking like she was waiting for me. I went over to her, and she looked up at me, I could tell she had be crying."What's wrong Reggie?" I asked.
"I can deal with my parents breaking up, I guess, but my friend is moving now, and I just can't deal with all this bullshit anymore!"
I guess about three years ago she had met the girl I figured she was talking about, her name was Liz, and from what she told me she was a very nice girl. "Are you talking about Liz?"
She nodded. "I knew that her mom and dad liked to move, but I thought maybe."
"For once you'd be able to have a friend?"
She nodded. "I guess what hurts the most is that I'm pretty sure that we'll loose contact, cause I just suck and keeping in touch with people."
I hugged her. "I'm still around."
She shrugged. "I know, but you're different."
If only she knew how different I really was. "I guess you're right."
"Look, read this and you'll know how I feel." She handed me a piece of paper.
If best friends are forever where did she go?
Have I missed her? Or has she left?
Maybe it is only me who is left behind
Somewhere along the line I was lost
Doomed to be forever alone
Loyalty, trust, honesty, the qualities of a best friend
I have had this in people, but never for long
The world is moving, changing
My heart is changing
My friends are leaving
Doomed to be forever alone
Through good times and bad
Laughter or tears, friends are together
Years pass friends remain, you change
For me year pass I change, friends change
Still doomed to be forever alone
Am I the problem?
Have I chosen the wrong friends?
I smile on the outside, while inside cries
I laugh until it hurts outside, inside only hurts
I feel pain, but conceal it
I show compassion and loyalty
Somehow I remain doomed to be forever alone
I hide what I feel, emptiness
I show I am happy
I simply live in the moment
I don't dwell on the past, it makes me cry
The past is too painful, too many memories
The future is unclear
The present is where I am happy
Still I feel I am doomed to be forever alone
The future may end up like the present
I am not hopeful
I do not allow myself to hope, nor wish
I have never been allowed to be anything but alone
Perhaps I haven't been totally alone, but not for long
If I can live for the present, never looking back perhaps someday
I will live with being, forever alone
Now the is like a gaping wound
A part of me always seems to be missing
As I look back there is never the person to complete the meory
As I cry I realize that I am forever alone
Always doomed to be forever alone
I began to cry, I could hardly believe that my sister could feel that way. I hoped that she would begin to feel differently after we got to know each other, but she was still just as sad as I was when I was her age. I wondered why it was that I couldn't help her, but I was determined to show her that things can change, and even when things seem their blackest there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
"I used to feel the same way," I told her.
"I know, that's why I showed it to you."
I tried to smile. "But you have to understand that you won't always feel that way, eventually you're going to find someone that you know you may loose, but you take the risk anyway, just so that you can have those happy memories. I heard a song one that said, tomorrow you can have yesterday is mine, and you know what it's so true. No one can take away all the good things that have happened in your life, and when it's all said and done it is the good things that you remember the most."
Reggie nodded. "I understand what you mean, but I'm still glad I wrote that."
"It's very well written, you're really talented." I was still learning things from my sister.
"Thank you, but I should probably get going, my dad's bringing me for ice cream."
Only my father would go out for ice cream on a day like this. I hugged her, and then we both went our own way.
