The Coffee Shop – Chapter 15
Each Step

Kori slowly walked up the spiral staircase to her bedroom, sipping her hot chocolate and humming. Her baby pink slippers clunked softly on each step. Putting her hot chocolate down on her desk, she started walking around the room.

"Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound"

She sang. She pulled a warm purple sweater on over her pink tee. She liked it when there was no work.

"Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd"

She sipped her cocoa again, and lay down on her bed, crumpling the nicely made comforter. Ruffling her red hair, she closed her eyes and waited.

"And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder..."

The doorbell rang. She stood up and headed down the staircase, slippers clunking all the way, still humming. As she approached the door, she saw a familiar face through the window.

"Sage?" she said, opening the door, a slight question in her voice.

"Yeah, didn't mom tell you I was coming to stay?"

۞۞۞

Faster, faster! Tara thought, pressing her foot on the gas pedal. I'm gonna be late! It's entirely Candy and Taffy's fault.

Two minutes later she was there. She parked her car on the side on the road and got out.

Walking toward the building she saw Richard's motorcycle pull up next to her.

"Hey! Thought you'd never make it!"

۞۞۞

Raven sat on the couch, her head in her hands.

"Poor Garfield." She murmured. She remembered when her dad left her and her mom. It had been a terrible time, lots of fighting and crying. "It must be even worse for him. No one left but Murray, and both his parents dead. At least my dad could come back if he wanted to, not that we'd let him. But Gar's parents can't come back, no matter what."

She got up and paced around the room. Turning on the stereo, she lay down on the couch and tried to stay awake. No luck. She fell asleep, tears in her eyes, a song on the radio.

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends
