As told by Mark
12 May (The day Matty leaves)
Cade wouldn't let anyone go with her when she handed Matty back to his mom, although we all had offered to at least twice. She just said she would be back at five and the two of them (her and Matty) got in the car with her Grandfather's driver.
So, until five, we just, for lack of a better term, killed time. Roger and I ended up taking Noah and Kenna to the park. Kenna was staying with us for a few days while Ella went to "take care of some legal business" with her ex.
By the four o'clock we had all gathered in Cade's place.
Five o'clock came and went. Same with six.
I hadn't been this worried since...well, for a while now.
"Maureen, come on." I said as I got up to head to the door.
"Why.."
"Just get your ass off the couch and come on."
She got up and I told everyone else "We're going to go she if she's took a detour."
There were nods. They understood. They all knew.
We head towards the Life Café.
"What makes you so sure she'll be there?" Maureen taunted.
"It's one of the few places she knows and Cade is not stupid enough to wander."
"Yet she does have your DNA."
I glared at her, "It takes two to tango."
Thankfully, we had arrived at the Life before Maureen could make a comeback and sure enough, Cade was sitting at a corner table. Her head was resting on crossed arms while she stared at a bottle of beer.
Maureen rushed next to her and I moved to sit across from them. Mo grabbed the beer and took a big swig, before spitting out.
"What are you doing and honey, what the hell is this crap?"
Cade shrugged, "I wanted to get drunk, so I order the most disgusting thing they had."
Probably from the looks of confusion she went on to explain.
"I really wanted to get drunk, but I knew I shouldn't. Ordering the beer fulfilled the temptation of the intention to get drunk, yet by ordering the most disgusting I insured I wouldn't get past the first sip."
Stressed, yet logical...I wasn't so sure that was the best combination.
"You really didn't want to let him go did you?" I tried.
Cade just shrugged again.
Maureen pouted and threw her arms around Cade.
"You asked me how is felt, having to giving you up, remember? Well, now, I...think you know the answer, honey."
For one of those rare moments, Maureen, and I hate to admit this, she was right.
Cade looked at me, "I mean, I'm just the aunt, right? It's got to get easier."
I reached over, "Of course."
I was lying out my ass.
Author's Notes:
So there it is.
BwayDiva: As always I'm glad you liked it.
Lils: Ch. 15: Yes! Yes! You have no ideal how many happy dances I did when I finally did.
Ch.4: Honestly, I laughed when I read that, but hey if you want to you cand add what you wanted to say onto this chapter, that's assuming of course you're reviewing for this chapter.
Norbert won! (And so did Spamalot!)
carsonheir: Today's a good day. (hence the update) and thanks on that too, Next chapter is coming soon...hopefully.
L.M.Ward: It would have been really annoying if that review had been vague. (No, No, I'm just joking take no offense, please) Is that Aw in a that's good way or Aw in a that's horrible...ick...way?
starsinthesky(LJ): Hopefully, this chapter helped clear some of that up...everyone knows about Cade. Mo is pissed at Mark for not telling her as soon as he found out, but is somewhat excited about finding Cade...another person to influence. and Mark is taking it one day at a time. Cade's confused...story of her life, but is reacting to her biological parents cautiously, but willing to find answers.
LongLiveLarson: Ch.1: Thanks...so did I...hence the reason I wrote it.
Ch.2: That seems to be a popular response.
Ch.3: I know (about feeling bad for Mark) but it's just so dang easy and natural to put him that position.
Ch.4: I don't mean it to be confusing, but I feel it's necessary to see one situation through multiply viewpoints hence the title. I'm assuming you've figured it out (about Cade)
Ch.5: the idea for that came at midnight, so I knew it was a usable one
Ch.6: I fully agree about Roger not being open, but I also realize that in his position he would to a point and I tried to subtly show it, here I'll show you:
"But his question got me, how was I supposed to answer that?": He didn't directly answer the question.
Then he tried focusing on his brother.
"And I did...for the most part"...he still wasn't completely open about his life The he goes on to say about how everyone acted, he never mentioned actively involving himself.
But I do realize that chapter was among the weaker ones.
Ch.15: Thank you so much...and it was always in my plan for Matty to leave...there just needed to be something relatable between Cade and Mark and Mo...make the bond stronger. However for Scott...not only is Cade attached but so am I...for right now I have plans for him...in the story...I am curious however to find out what you think about Ella?
and I hope to hear more from you.
So more to come eventually
153 Days until RENT is released in theatres! And if you guys get a chance the blog is pretty cool. And if you haven't already checked out the trailer...you must...it's really really awesome.
until next time, this is me...signing out
