Laura stood just inside her doorway in disbelief. No way could he show up at a time like this. Not when she had just figured everything out. Not when she was sure about what she was going to do. Now she wasn't sure. She wasn't sure at all. "Uhhh….. Race? Do you mind if I ask you something?" Not waiting for a reply, Laura went right into it. "What the fuck are you doing here?"

"I came to see you."

"Well, obviously that must be part of it, but what's the rest of it?"

"I dumped Cassandra."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"You didn't let me finish. I dumped Cassandra…………………because I'm still in love with you."

"What?" Laura asked, completely dumfounded. Not another one. "God!" she thought. "I sound so conceited!" Out loud, she said, "Race. I can't handle this right now. I just decided that Mush is gonna be the love of my life, and then you come along and…………your just messing everything up!"

"You're going out with Mush? No way. This is just too freaky. You were going out with Tom. Mush was going out with Cassandra. Then you decided to go out with me, then I decided to go out with Cassandra. Now your going out with Mush, I'm here telling you I love you, and Cassandra's probably here telling Mush she loves him, just to make it interesting, though I doubt it. She's not that stupid to try and get Mush back. All we need now is for Tom to show up saying that he still loves you and we can truly have the weirdest lives ever."

Someone knocked on the door.

Race and Laura turned to look at each other. "Oh shit." They said at the same time.


Spot and Nessa woke up to find that they were still sitting in the same position as the night before. And that they were really, really, sore.

"Jesus, Straw, why they fuck didn't we go inside the house? Then my back wouldn't be hurting this much," sometimes Spot enjoyed stating the obvious.

"I guess we were just too tired?" Nessa lied. She had woken up a few times during the night and each time she had debated about whether she should wake Spot up and tell him to go inside and that she should go home or just continue letting him sleep on her leg the entire night. The latter always won. What she didn't know was that Spot had thought the same thing the few times he had woken up in the night too.

"I guess I better go home," Nessa sighed. "My mom might be worried about me." She got up and started to walk the farmiliar path toward home when Spot grabbed her arm.

"Wait, Nessa. Don't go," he whispered. "I know this is going to sound weird, since I just recently got done telling you how I only like you as a friend, but after a lot of thinking, don't smile at me like I never think Straw."

"Okay Spot." she whispered.

"Anyway, after a lot of thinking, I realized that maybe I do like you as you know, more than a friend."

"I think I may like you as more then a friend too Spot. I think I may have liked you as more than a friend for a long time." Nessa smiled.

Spot wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her full on the lips. Nessa leaned into him and curled her fingers around his neck, kissing him right back. She then knew that she had never been so happy. And oddly enough, neither had Spot.


Mush waited in a bush outside Laura's house. He wanted to go in, he knew it, but he wasn't sure what he would say. She had really hurt him, so he didn't want her to think that she could just have him back after doing that to him. That wasn't fair to him. But he also knew that he really loved her and that he really wanted her back. And that scared him since when Cassandra had cheated on him he knew that he would never forgive her. No Laura had just done the same thing and he was willing to forgive her after what, less then 48 hours? What was he thinking? He realized that the only way he and Laura were ever going to work out was if he stopped talking to himself and started talking to her. He went to go knock on her door, but before he could get out of the bush, someone got to her door first. This someone that Mush did not know knocked on her door, and Laura answered it. Who was standing next to Laura? Race, of course. Just to make the whole thing worse.

"Tom." Laura breathed.

Mush wondered who she was talking to, then he realized that it must be the kid at the door. No, wait. Tom? Tom? The guy that Laura supposedly broke up with? The guy that she had cheated on with Race? What the fuck was he doing here?

Laura seemed to be thinking along the same lines as Mush. "Tom, what the fuck are you doing here?"

Mush stepped out of the bush. "Race and Tom, what the fuck are you doing here?"

"I love Laura," they said in unison. Race and Tom glared at each other.

Cassandra came running down the road from Mush's house. "I followed you here," she gasped.

"Cassandra, you need to get the fuck away from me." Mush spat.

"Cassandra! What the fuck are you doing here?" Race snarled.

"I could ask you the same question," Cassandra snarled right back.

Spot and Nessa showed up holding hands. "We wanted to see how you were doing, Laura," Spot said.

Laura stared. "Spot? Why are you and Nessa holding hands?"

"Why should that matter to you?" Spot asked coldly. "You love Mush right? Whatever. It doesn't even matter anymore. Cause I realized that I love Straw. What are all these people doing outside your house, Laura?"

"Could someone please tell me what the fuck is going on?" Mush shouted.

Everyone just stared at each other. No one knew what to say, because no one knew what the fuck was going on.
