Emily
Emily was super excited for the train party. It was all she and Ameira could talk about, "I have the prettiest dress, I'm going to look so hot, maybe I should send a pic to Kevin…" Emily had been hearing about the infamous Kevin, some jerk on the football team in Ameira's grade, Ameira talked none stop about the womanizing jock, but Emily didn't have the heart to tell her she didn't give two shits, all she thought about was her best friend, and how hot she looked in that sexy black dress, wondering what pleasures lay beneath…. "Emily…..Earth to Emily." Ameira clicked her fingers, snapping Emily out of her trance.
"Oh yeah, sorry, Just thinking…." She threw Ameira off the scent as she watched her pumping strippers full of bullets on Grand theft Auto.
Muhammad
Muhammad flicked his cigarette away as he rang the bell of the Hofstadter's house, "What up, girl!" Mo said jokingly as him and Celine did their secret little handshake.
"Geez, did you get married in India? Buy a house?" She joked as they sat on the couch,
"You have no idea how close to the truth you are, my grandmother's a…pretty persistent woman." He stuck a mint in his mouth, god he missed the long ass conversations with Celine while he was in India, "Anyway, anything go down in the States while I've been gone, Emily aside, oh, and how's Kathy? Still single?" Celine whacked him on the arm as Muhammad wiggled his eyebrows,
"She's my sister!" She squealed.
"I know." Muhammad inked again, lucky his reflexes were so quick, otherwise he would have been doctoring another bruised shoulder.
Penny
Muhammad had long since left, Penny waited for the kettle to ping, signalling her wait over, "Here ya go, sweetie." She handed Celine a cup of coco, but something was bothering her little girl, and that bothered her, "Hey, what's up?" some sitcom was on the tv, Penny put her arms around Celine, like she did when she was a toddler. She missed the times when her girls depended on her for everything, Katherine would be in college soon, living her own life, Celine, well..she'd always been Penny's little girl, and she always will be, but she was leading her own life.
"Nothing mom, just worried about Emily." Of course Penny worried about her God-daughter too, remembering the dark place she was in, and how she hated herself for missing the signs,
"Hey, come on, she has you, and that's pretty good."
Celine
I need to tell her, I can't look at her knowing what Katherine did. "Mom, about that night that Emily…" She hated going back there, dragging it up, it was eating her up lying for that damnable sister of hers….but she was her sister, "Emily was given those drugs….." At this point, Penny still didn't know exactly what Celine was getting at, "It….she-"
"Oh my God, Leon just said the stupidest line ever, I-" Katherine strolled in with more bags of shopping than she needed, "I've just bought the cutest dress for the train party- Is something up?"
"Celine just had something to tell me." Penny said, "Something about Emily." Katherine's glare could bore holes through sheet steel when she looked at Celine, who squirmed under her glare,
"Oh yeah?" she said through gritted teeth, but smiled none the less, she sat down next to Penny on their three-seat couch, "Tell us everything." Katherine gave her a look again, as if she was daring her to say something, but Celine was holding her own, giving Katherine an equally deadly look.
"You know what it doesn't matter, you wanna know what happened that night, mom? Ask Katherine." That was something Katherine hadn't expected Celine to say…and she knew it, time you stopped underestimating me, sweet sister. Her comment knocked Katherine for six, Celine knew she'd knocked the wind right out of her sails. Over her mother's head, Celine threw a dirty smirk at the now pale Katherine as she was leaving, 'Good luck getting yourself out of this one, Katherine.' It said as Penny awaited an answer from her.
