Chapter Twelve: 5-1-5-0- Dierks Bentley

Alexis's Point of View

We're (my dad, Kate, Gram, and myself) sitting here, at the book release party; my dad always gets overly drunk at these; and the song 5-1-5-0 comes on.

"I love this song!" My overly intoxicated dad practically yells.

"How can you know, do you even remember the name?" Some bimbo-barbie-doll with bottle-brown hair says; I know she dyed her hair because I can see her roots and they're grey.

"5-1-5-0 some one call the po-po." My dad sings; off-key; and points to Kate when he says 'po-po' Kate shakes her head, "5-1-5-0 just this side of loco."

"Darling, why don't we go home now." Gram says.

"Okay." He replys.

"If we're leaving, I'm going to go tell Lanie." Kate said.

"We're leaving." Gram says.

"Okay, then I'll meet you at the car."

"Okay." Gram says.

When we get home, dad goes to bed, Kate goes to pick Tali up from the sitters (I offered to stay home and watch her, but dad insisted on me going) and Gram gets a drink and heads off to her room, I stay in the living room. I want to talk to Kate when she gets back with Tali.

Kate gets back about fifteen minutes later, with Tali.

"Kate, can we talk?" I ask as she closes the door and locks it behind her.

"Yeah, sure, just let me put Tali to sleep."

"Okay, I'll wait in the living room."

Kate comes back out, and takes a seet on the chair near me.

"What's up?"

"I was wondering- I already talked to my dad about it-"


What was Alexis going to ask Kate? Why wasn't Jim in this chapter? Why did Martha pour herself a drink? Who was the bimbo that was so mean to Rick? Why is this chapter so short? You might be wondering any of these, I don't know; I can't read minds. That's why you guys need to review! :)

Love, Alexis
