AN: Honest to god this was my favorite chapter to write. Besides Family Time, this was, and i swear, the easiest story for me to write. I don't really even know what's going to happen next, i guess the stick person in my mind is still figuring that out.
I smiled as the elevator doors opened. I turned to Angela. "I know this is going to make me sound corny, bad, and selfish, but... it's good to have my best friend back", i said as we walked down the hall to Sally's room. Angela smiled. I walked up to the room door, i could hear the television playing on a low volume. She (Sally) was probably snuggled up on the couch, immersed in a book.
"Sally!", i yelled. "Yes, oh Bella whoa, don't sneak up on me!", she giggled. "uh... Sally i have good news and bad news", i said. Her smile halted for a quick second before it reappeared. " I want the bad news first", she said with more courage than i bet she had. "Damn, i mumbled, well, uh, the good news is the bad news", i said. i phrased it like a question, i was confusing myself. She smiled. " C'mon Bells, you know i can handle it, i mean we're dead what's the worst that can happen?" She was right so i spit it right out. " Um we have a skater boy by the last name of Duvall who just arrived at the door", i said.
Before i could get a grip on her reaction, Sally
was speeding down the hall towards the elevator. " Oh Bella, It's my brother!", she yelled as she blew past us. I smiled. I hadn't seen Sally this happy since we had attempted to throw her a make shift party in the lobby for her birthday. That had ended badly, with Clyde's body hanging limp from the top of the cake. He'd complained for thoroughly two weeks about how he officially hated cake.
We stepped into the elevator with Sally, who was bouncing in place with anticipation. "I wonder if he'll like it here", i mused aloud. Sally bounced up in front of me and wrapped me in her arms. " He is going to love it here Bells, he'll also love all my great friends!", She screamed happily. " Oh, and by the way, welcome Angela, i apologize for not saying it earlier, i seemed to have lost my manners back there." Angela smiled a wide grin. " That's perfectly alright Sally, You had other things on your mind.", Angela said with true sympathy.
" I understand what Bella meant by the good news being the bad news", Sally said. " I know i should feel horrible that he died but, I'm just so excited about seeing my brother again!", Sally said solemnly. "And that is precisely why i wanted to give you the good news first", i spoke triumphantly. Sally giggled. She looked to Edward. " You have quite a charming wife", she giggled. " She loves to be right, she 's got pride", she said happily.
"I remember once, clyde and i got into an argument, and Bella stepped in to settle the score...", she started. I covered her mouth before she could finish. I remembered that argument. It ended in embarrassment for me, and my husband didn't need to hear about me in one of my most embarrassing moments. I'd had to pay Clyde three hundred dollars to get rid of the tape. " I'm sure Edward doesn't want to hear about that now", i said, my voice covered with nervousness and embarrassment. Sally shrugged. " We can talk about that later, we're here anyway", she said as we reached the floor for the sub and main lobby. Edward chuckled. " Of course we can. I would love to hear the rest of that story", he said. " And we can watch the tape too", Sally added. My eyes bugged.
"But i thought clyde got rid of that, i paid him three hundred dollars!", i yelled. "He didn't tell you about the copies?", she asked, her voice coated in curiosity. I shook my head, and she shrugged. We would deal with that later, i thought as we stepped out of the elevator.
