Sorrow finally reached Angelina's. She slowly walked in. She couldn't' t remember if they had a set time or not. She spotted Pep and Race and quickly walked over. 'Hey" she
said quietly
Pep looked up. "You showed up!" she said, speaking before thinking again.
Sorrow smiled. "Of course I would." She sat down. "Why wouldn't I?"
Pep shrugged. "No reason....." she said.
"So...um did you miss me?" Sorrow smirked and took a menu. Race just stared at her.
"Ya, of course," Pep said, returning the smirk. "Umm...so, how did your talk with Ani go?" she asked cautiously.
Sorrow sighed. She looked up from the menu. "da usual. I'm a whore and not to come back till she's asleep."
Pep looked up. "Sorrow, come home tonight," she said.
Sorrow sighed. "Why? I mean I will late tonight." she said. "Very late."
Pep eyed her. "I'll talk to Ani. Not that it'll help, but I'll try. You never hang out with all of us at night anymore," she said with a sigh.
Sorrow sighed. "Yeah I know...it's just...I dunno, I hate being away from Oscar. He's there to comfort me...when I fight with her."
Pep sighed. "If ya keep runnin away from her and stuff it's not gonna get any better, regardless of the nights you have with Oscar. Those nights wont make things better," she said, getting a little angry but not wanting to.
Sorrow sat back. "Yeah. I know they make them woise. God...what am I gonna do??" she asked. "I mean this is...."
"This is what?" she asked.
Sorrow closed her eyes for a second. "How come I can handle the refuge but I can't handle Ani?!"
Pep shook her head. "It's cuz Ani's yer best friend. That means that it's coming out of sincerity, no matter how harsh she sounds. She's just worried about you."
Sorrow sighed again. "Why's she worried? I mean I now he's not using me..."
Pep shook her head again. "I dunno. I guess....he's just da kinda person who could get someone wrapped around his fingah easily. Somethin like dat," she said.
Sorrow laughed. "How long have you known me?? Has a man ever been able to do dat to me??"
Pep raised her eyebrows. "Dis has been da worst I've seen......" she said honestly.
Sorrow looked at her. "You mean...you think he has got me dat way???" she asked. Race lightly cleared his throat and looked away.
"Maybe a little bit," she said quietly, looking down at the ground.
That hit Sorrow like a ton of bricks. She pushed back tears and nodded. "Yeah...maybe so." She sighed.
"So are ya gonna come back ta da LH wit me and Race when we're done heah?" she asked hopefully.
"Shoah." Sorrow smiled. "But I've gotta meet Oscar at da bar at five. But I'll be home tonight." She said.
"Ya promise? I really don't wanna hafta take dat stuff Ani has again. She made me take it straight last night cuz she wanted ta get me ta shut up!" she said with a laugh.
Sorrow laughed. "What did she make you drink this time?"
Race looked at her. "you mean there's been more then one time?"
Pep laughed, shaking her head at Race. "I've known dem for awhile, Race...." she said. "There has been lotsa times."
Sorrow nodded. "yep when ever Sorrow whores around....' Her voice trailed off.
Pep shook her head. "Now ya know dat's not da reason..." she said. "Heck, da foist time ya did it you guys hadta team up on me cuz I wouldn't do it! I don't even remembah how old I was!" she said with a laugh.
Sorrow laughed. "Yeah...I remember that...I can't even remember when it was though, either right before or right after the refuge that one time wasn't it?"
Race looked at her. "You were in the refuge more than once??" He asked a little shocked. Sorrow looked over at Pep and laughed.
Pep looked at Race sheepishly. "Maybe...." she said, trying to keep a straight face.
Sorrow laughed. "I meant me!" She said, covering her face.
Race nodded. "oh okay....I mean yeah you were in dere when Jack was dat one time." Sorrow laughed even harder.
Pep burst out laughing. "I think it was right before..." she said in between laughs.
Sorrow smirked. "Yeah dat's where i foist met Oscar...he was with his uncle trying to get some boys to work for him, to work of dere hours I guess."
Pep nodded. "Hey, how'd you guys get so creative in makin excuses for me always havin dose headaches?" she asked, not really wanting to get into the Oscar subject.
Sorrow laughed. "Yeah...the headache things. I dunno. Ani's great at those." She said. "I never had too bad of headaches...well when I drink alone..."
"Gosh you and Ani rarely have too bad of headaches!" Pep said with a laugh.
Sorrow nodded. "She's too tough for a headache to attack her. She'd soak it!" She sighed. "But I have them sometimes." She looked up as the waiter brought Race and Pep their food.
Pep shook her head. "I don't know how Ani does it. Aw, come on. Of course ya have dem sometimes! I have dem a lot." she said with a small chuckle.
Sorrow nodded. she looked up at race. "How about you?" she asked.
"Umm I don't drink too much more smoking." He said.
Pep laughed and rolled her eyes. "You and your precious cigars!" she said jokingly.
Sorrow smirked. "Um I'se not dat hungry so why don't you two eat up so we can go?"
Pep nodded. She took a bite of the food. "You were right Race, this is good!"
Sorrow grinned at them and sat back thinking of Oscar. Race dove in to his food. "Hmm very good!"
When they were done eating, Pep sighed, thinking of those times they had just talked about. "Well, that was really good," she said to Race.
Race smiled. "good I"m glad you like it." He said.
Sorrow sighed and stood up. "I've gotta go. I have like 15 minutes to get to da bar. I'll see ya tonight." She said giving Pep a quick squeeze and waving at Race.
"Alright. But if ya don't and I gotta drink dat stuff from Ani, I'm not gonna be happy," she called out to Sorrow as she left.
Race looked at her and laughed. "Ill make shaoh she don't make you drink it." He said.
"Nah, whatever. I don't really mind it, I'se used ta it, I guess. I just really want her ta come home, ya know?"
He nodded. "Yeah I hope she does come home." He sighed. "Well ready?" He asked.
"Yep!" she replied as she stood up from the table.
Race held out his arm to her after he paid for the meal. "so home?" he asked.
Pep took his arm. "Ya, home sounds good." she said.
Race grinned and opened the door for her. "After you my dear." He said.
Pep smiled and walked at the door. She smirked. "I still have your haaaat!" She said with a laugh.
Race laughed. "So you do. And I still have yours.' He said. "Shall we trade before we get home and they see you wearing me hat? Dey may think something..."
Pep laughed, handing his hat back to him. "I guess..." she said with a playful pout. She burst out laughing.
Race laughed and put his hat on. "You know how Ani jumps to conclusions sometimes." He smirked
Pep smiled. "And we wouldn't want Ani stressed anymore den she already is, now would we?"
Race laughed. "Yeah that would be a bad idea. She's gonna go nuts anyway, we don't wanna help."
"Yep. Oh yeah, I bettah warn her dat Sorrow is in fact comin home tonight, whethah she likes it or not. That should be fun." Pep said.
said quietly
Pep looked up. "You showed up!" she said, speaking before thinking again.

Pep looked up. "Sorrow, come home tonight," she said.
Sorrow sighed. "Why? I mean I will late tonight." she said. "Very late."
Pep eyed her. "I'll talk to Ani. Not that it'll help, but I'll try. You never hang out with all of us at night anymore," she said with a sigh.
