Chapter Twenty-three: Breathe- Taylor Swift
Rick's Point of View
"Ugh...come on, start up." Kate angry yells at her car, trying to get it to start, "Damn it!"
"Kate, calm down." I say, gently touching her arm.
"It's not starting, and the storm is getting worse." She says.
"Just calm down and take deep breaths...breathe."
She takes a few deep breaths then tries again, "Stupid damn car!" She yells, apparently breathing doesn't work for her.
"Kate please, calm down."
"Stop telling me to calm down, I will not calm down, Alexis and Talia are home alone. You know how Talia gets scared, I don't want Alexis to have to take care of her when she's like that."
"Kate, Alexis and Talia will be fine, Alexis will do fine taking care of Talia untill we get there."
"I don't dout she can take care of Talia, what I'm upset about is that no fourteen-year-old should have to take care of a scared two-year-old."
"It will be okay, now just calm down." She takes a couple more deep breaths with her eyes shut, and turns the key. Car starts.
"Oh, so now you want to start?" She asks the car.
"See...? You calmed down, and got rewarded." She smiles, a real smile, not a fake 'I'm smiling, but really I'm incradibelly pissed' smile.
"Oh, the storm is getting worse." Kate whines, never thought I'd actually hear her whine about something.
"We're almost home."
"Yeah, thank God."
"Just remember to calm down and...?"
"Breathe?"
"Exactly."

Glass Houses- Steel Magnolia
Alexis's Point of View
"Mom?" I ask.
"Yeah sweety?"
"There's this girl, she said that I'm ugly, and she's always making fun of me. What do I do?"
"Tell her 'people who throw stones shouldn't live in glass houses' and ignore her, if things get to bad though, you tell me and we'll tell the principal."
"Okay, thanks mom." I say, and hug her.
"No problem." She says, I release her from the hug, and she goes back to making stir fry veggies with no meat, since her, Talia, and I don't care much for it with meat.
What'd ya think of that? Please review.
Love, Alexis
