Chapter 15: Missed Calls

Cory yowled when the front door hit her in the face. She hadn't even strayed farther than the entrance when she came home last night, curled up against it, sleeping. Now she was wide awake and nearly pounced on Rev who hadn't known she was there. She tripped him and was about to bash his nose in when she realized it was him. "Rev?" she blinked and withdrew from the startled young man.

"Yuhhh." He answered. "Where'd you go last night and how'd you get home." Cory's eyebrows burrowed together and she scratched her head with a frown.

"I don't know…" just then Estell came through the door carrying a limp Dawn on her shoulder. "What's up wit the kid?"

"I told you she shouldn't have had any liquor, no matter how small the dose, she's only a bit bigger than you, Ri," Estell through the teen onto the couch and arched her back. "I mean the girl's seventeen, this is illegal." Cory laughed and went up the stairs lazily.

"The legal stuff's a drag." She called down to them. As she passed through the hall the house phone that sat on a little table outside the bathroom door rung. She picked it up. "Ello Mox residence, hoooooow may we help you?"

"Hey, it's Wally." Wally West's husk-under-toned voice said on the other line. A grimace spread on Cory's face. This was his annual call to ask out Estell. The girl always made an excuse to brush off the man's advances.

"Estell phone! Its…dad." She lied and Estell immediately came up to the phone.

"Hey, Dad what's up?" Estell asked cheerfully.

"It's Wally." A lump caught in Estell's throat and she shot Cory a dangerous murderous look.

"Hey…"

"What's up…you haven't returned my calls…" there was a pause. "What did I do?"

"Nothing, you didn't do anything…it's just it's hard to like someone who… my sister likes…a lot." Estell explained to the best of her ability.

"God you're not talking about Cory, right, cus Dick'll kill me." Estell laughed at his obvious sarcasm and then stopped with a sad sigh.

"Dawn."

"Dawn…but...she's, she's a kid…" Wally argued and Estell laughed again shaking her head.

"You're such a bad liar. You like her too and well she's only somewhat younger than us and doesn't look like a kid. So don't push yourself to like someone you don't like."

"I do like you."

"Not as much. We're still friends and good luck with Dawn, she's a nice catch. Talk to you later." Wally didn't answer and she hung up the phone, running her fingers through her hair. Complications weren't her favorites, not when it was technical difficulties or a heist of some kind. Complications only made life a bitch.

Dick opened the door for Wally around noon. The red headed young man was distraught and venting to him about his problems with Estell. Again. "You need to move on it was one date. She obviously is okay with you liking Dawn."

Wally's face went a bit pink and he glared at him. "I don't like her." He said stubbornly. Dick gave him a blank look and shook his head with a sigh.

"You do, don't be such a priss. I heard how you sounded when you asked about her. It's no big deal anymore just relax and…" Dick tried to find something else to say. "Yeah, so there's a cruise that I have to go on next week, wanna come?"

"I guess, Central's been pretty quiet lately." Wally sighed tiredly sitting next to his friend as he started his Xbox. Dick hand him a controller and Wally raised an eyebrow.

"Help me beat this level on Modern Warfare 3." Wally grinned. Classic way of Dick's to cool off.

"Sure."

"Sure. We can go. Yeah, just pick us up and we'll be all ready." Cory said and Dawn, who had just come of the high horse of being hammered for the first time, raised an eyebrow. "Okay, love you." Cory kissed at the phone and hung up.

"Where we going?" Dawn asked curiously.

"A cruise. Dick invited us."

"Really? Cool maybe that'll make Stell feel better, she's…been listening to scream again…" they exchanged a glance. Estell only listened to scream when she was stressed. All three of them liked it but tended to listen to it when they felt a certain way.

"Yeah, better go pack." The two young woman walked to their rooms and went through their draws for Vacay clothes…
