A/N: Hey guys! Thank you for everyone who answered the questions specifically to 9rayofsunshine7, lucywatson ,BelieverInLove ,Chelsea75 , ronxhermioneftw and LilyLunaCho! It helped me a lot. I'm sorry for not updating for two days. I had a really bad case of stomach flu :(. Anyways, here is the conclusion of the Blizzard arc, I hope I won't let you down. Read and Review. :)
Sophia and Marissa started to set up the bed sheets in the guest room.
"So is that boy your boyfriend?" Sophia asked Marissa.
Marissa gulped. "Um...no, he's not." Marissa replied, avoiding eye contact with Sophia.
"Good then. That means you can still be my future daughter in law." Sophia said.
Marissa stared at Sophia with her eyebrows raised. She wasn't sure if Bryce's mother was joking or if she's serious.
"I'm kidding." Sophia said.
Marissa laughed uncomfortably.
"But it's always a possibility." Sophia continued.
Marissa just forced a smile.
"Bryce really likes you, Marissa. I hope you consider that." Sophia said with her eyes fixed at Marissa. "Oh, speaking of Bryce, I need to replace his bed sheets. He ate ice cream and let his dog sleep on his bed again."
Sophia smiled at Marissa and exited the room.
Marissa gave off a sigh of relief and plopped down on the bed.
"This family is definitely weird." She thought. She stared at the window. Snow was still falling down.
A lot of things were going through her head.
Maybe Cameron was right.
Maybe both of them should just move on.
She hasn't made up her mind yet. She still loves Cameron and deep inside of her, she was hoping that Cameron still loves her too.
She sighed and put a hand to her forehead. Now she feels like she's in an arranged marriage with Bryce or something.
Not to mention she would be sharing a room with Cameron for the night. She wasn't sure how she's gonna react to him.
Sure, she could just always ignore him but she doesn't want to. She's either gonna beg him to try to patch things up between them or she could be on an all "bitch mode" who's gonna be bitter about Cameron's decision.
She heard footsteps coming up the stairs and got out from the bed and stood up.
Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." Marissa said.
Bryce's father opened the door and smiled warmly at Marissa.
"Hi. Can we talk?" Roger said.
"Sure." Marissa said. She had no idea what Bryce's father wanted to talk about with her.
-Breadstix-
-Suzy's Table-
Lindsay sat at Suzy's table.
"Hello again." Lindsay said, smiling at Suzy.
"What do you want?" Suzy asked her. She looked furious.
Suzy was still holding the jar with the pepper inside.
"I just want to apologize for going all crazy on you, you didn't deserve that." Lindsay said.
"Though you take going crazy to a whole different level" Lindsay thought.
Lindsay kept her smile fixed at Suzy.
"The fact is, I want to make it up to you." Lindsay said.
Suzy raised her eyebrows. "You're finally gonna give me Damian?" she asked, her eyes getting crazy again.
Lindsay wanted to shake her head in frustration.
Instead, she smiled at Suzy and said: "Look, I know what you're going through."
Suzy looked at Lindsay straight in the eye. "I'm not going through anything." she hissed.
"I know someone who is just like you." Lindsay said.
Suzy pretended not to hear anything.
"My cousin Kathy Beth acts, talks and dresses like you." Lindsay continued. She was talking as warmly and friendly as possible.
Suzy started to listen to what Lindsay is saying.
"Kathy Beth started acting like this about a couple of months ago when she started high school; she followed and stalked this boy named Steve." Lindsay said
Suzy still has her poker face on but she was intently listening.
"I know you just fell in love. I mean we all do at some point but you don't have to stoop down to such a low level as a stalker." Lindsay continued.
"You're calling me low now?" Suzy asked, slightly offended.
Lindsay sighed in exasperation. "No, I'm not. I'm just saying that you don't have to lose yourself just to get some boy to reciprocate your feelings."
Suzy's mouth started to curl. Then she threw her head back. Tears were starting to well in her eyes.
"I thought I have learned my lesson in the past but apparently not. I just want someone to love me, you know?" Suzy said. She was breaking down at that point.
Lindsay nodded and placed her hand on Suzy's hand. "I'm sorry for making you feel this way but I'm gonna make you feel better."
"H-how?" Suzy asked after blowing her nose on her pepper patterned handkerchief.
"I'm gonna give you a makeover. A girl has to look good to feel good." Lindsay said.
Lindsay knows that she wasn't the best person to give a makeover to someone. But her personal stylist for special occasions could handle that.
"I'm sorry for breaking down like this. I should be ashamed of myself, I was supposed to learn from having a three day medically induced coma and an esophagus burn." Suzy said.
Lindsay's mouth dropped when she heard about the esophagus burn.
"Don't be ashamed. You'll start fresh once you receive a new look." Lindsay said.
"Thank you. What was your name again?" Suzy asked.
"Lindsay." Lindsay said, offering her arm for a handshake.
"Suzy Pepper." Suzy said, shaking Lindsay's hand.
"Nice to meet you, Suzy." Lindsay said, smiling.
"Same here Lindsay." Suzy said.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have someone waiting for me." Lindsay said then smiled.
-Damian and Lindsay's Table-
Damian looked over at Lindsay and Suzy.
He saw Lindsay and Suzy shake hands.
He couldn't believe that Lindsay managed to befriend his scary psychotic stalker.
"She's really something special." Damian thought and smiled to himself.
He was getting to know the real Lindsay beneath all those cutthroat superstar wannabe layers.
Lindsay got up from the table and walked back towards her and Damian's table.
"How did I manage to do that?" She thought to herself but she's pretty crazy herself so she didn't linger on it for too long.
She sat down on their table.
"How did you do it?" Damian asked her.
"I have my own tactics." Lindsay replied, smiling. "Now, can we continue this date?"
"Sure, madam." Damian replied with a charming look on his face.
They did not mind that they would be spending the night in that restaurant.
-Bryce's House-
Roger sat on the armchair and Marissa sat on the bed.
"I want to talk to you about Bryce." Roger said.
Marissa gulped again.
"He really likes you, Marissa." Roger continued.
That was the second time Marissa heard that statement on that day.
"What do you want me to do then?" Marissa asked. She wasn't really quite sure why Bryce's parents are telling her this.
"Give him a chance, okay? This is his first time to have romantic feelings for someone. Now, I know that he isn't the brightest person in the lot. We just spoiled him so much that he turned out to be ridiculously immature. We just don't want him to get hurt" Roger said, placing his hands on his head.
Marissa didn't know what to say or what to feel at the moment. She felt life has thrown her another complication.
"Just consider it, okay?" Roger said before leaving the room.
Marissa threw her head back. She sarcastically thanked her lucky stars.
Another knock was heard on the door.
Marissa sighed then said: "Come in"
Cameron entered the door.
Marissa regained her composure and put her poker face on.
Cameron was shocked to see a single, double-sized queen bed.
That means they would share a bed for the night.
Cameron awkwardly entered the room. He was unsure of what to say.
"I'll take the couch. You take the bed." Cameron said.
Marissa nodded. Her back was facing Cameron.
Cameron lay down on the couch.
Marissa lay on the bed, her back still facing Cameron.
He decided to start a casual conversation. He still wanted to remain friends with Marissa.
"Bryce is actually a decent musician. We jammed downstairs." Cameron said.
"Maybe he could serenade me then." Marissa replied bitterly.
Cameron felt a hint of jealousy.
"Listen Cameron, I'm gonna swallow my pride right now." Marissa said.
Cameron literally swallowed. He was nervous of what Marissa has to say.
"I don't want us to..." Marissa started to say.
Bryce burst the door open.
"Hey guys!" Bryce said in a cheery tone. He was carrying a small dog.
"This is Issa, my dog. Say hi Issa." Bryce said, he lifted Issa's paw and made it look like the dog was waving.
"She's obviously named after you, Marissa." Bryce said, with a flirty grin.
Marissa just rolled her eyes.
Cameron just looked on with confusion. "Is this really the guy who shoves kids into lockers?" Cameron thought.
"We have decided to sleepover here." Bryce said putting Issa next to Cameron on the couch.
Bryce lay down next to Marissa.
Marissa stood up at that point.
She went over to Cameron and gestured for him to stand up.
She looked really furious.
Cameron stood up and Marissa laid down the couch.
"I'd rather sleep next to the dog. You go take the bed with him." Marissa told Cameron.
Cameron grumpily obliged. The last thing he wanted was to upset Marissa even more.
Cameron laid down on the bed.
Bryce didn't seem to be bothered though.
"At least I can watch you sleep." He told Marissa.
Marissa let out a sound of disgust and turned to make her back face Bryce.
She didn't have a chance to tell Cameron what she wanted to say.
She doesn't know if she can swallow her pride again.
-Breadstix-
Lindsay and Damian spent an hour just chatting happily.
A booming female voice yelled an announcement.
"Everyone please listen. Now, I trust that you all know no one would be able to go home due to the vicious snowstorm outside. So we decided to let everyone sleep here." the woman announced.
She then gestured for the waiters to come in.
The waiters were carrying a bunch of quilts and blankets.
"The girls would be seperated from the boys. We'll have 4 people in each quilt." the woman said.
The other customers stood up and started to fill the quilts.
Damian and Lindsay stood up, their hands joined.
"See you tomorrow?" Lindsay asked Damian, smiling.
"Sure."Damian said then kissed her on the cheek.
Suzy then grabbed Lindsay's arm. "Let's go, my new BFF." Suzy said.
Lindsay smiled at Damian once more and mouthed goodbye.
Damian winked at her.
Damian made his way to a quilt with an available space.
He laid down on it.
He knew things were going fast for him and Lindsay.
But when love hits, who cares if things were going slow or fast?
He closed his eyes and let himself slip away to dreamland.
-Miki's House-
-8:15 am-
McKynleigh got up from her bed. She stretched her arms while she yawned. SHe rubbed her eyes and saw Ellis sucking her thumb, still sound asleep.
Matheus was still snoring on the other bed.
She went over to the bathroom groggily. She washed her face and brushed her teeth.
She looked out the window. Sunlight was streaming through it.
She smiled. The snowstorm was finally over.
She woke up Ellis and Matheus and showed them the window.
Both of them smiled sleepily.
Miki suddenly remembered something, Warren and Molly.
She literally dragged the two downstairs and asked them to put on boots and jackets.
The snow wasn't that high anymore. Some of the snow has melted.
They made their way to the outhouse and kicked the snow away from the door.
MiKi opened the door of the outhouse.
She smiled at what she saw.
Warren's head was resting on Molly's shoulder and Molly's head was leaning on Warren's head. They were both sleeping.
They were joined by one jacket and Molly was holding Warren's hands.
"They are so adorable, let me get my camera." Miki said then went back to the house.
Ellis started to enter the outhouse to wke the two up but Matheus grabbed a hold of Ellis's arm and shook his head.
Matheus didn't want to ruin the moment either.
MiKi came back with her bright pink digital camera in hand.
"Wow, you were quick." Ellis said. She was not pleased.
"Of course, I'm like lightning fast when I need to be." MiKi said then winked.
She then entered the outhouse slowly and snapped a picture of Warren and Molly.
Ellis was getting furious by the moment and stomped her feet when she entered the outhouse.
Molly immediately woke up from the noise and looked at Miki with squinting eyes. She thought she was dreaming or that they were all in heaven because all of them died in the snowstorm.
"Good morning lovebirds." MiKi teased Molly.
Molly rubbed her eyes and saw Warren's head still resting on her shoulder.
MiKi thought Molly was gonna stand up and let Warren fall but she was wrong.
Molly gestured for everyone to be quiet.
Miki smiled menacingly and waved a teasing goodbye to Molly.
Molly just shook her head.
MiKi exited the outhouse, smiling.
Matheus gave a thumbs up to Molly and chuckled.
Molly gave him a death stare.
Ellis was obviously upset and she stayed at the outhouse, sitting across Warren and Molly.
"Alright, what do you want?" Molly asked her.
"Are you his girlfriend or something?" Ellis asked Molly.
Molly blushed at the question. "No, I'm not."
"Okay, just checking." Ellis said.
Warren raised his head and rubbed his eyes.
"Are we dead?" He asked.
"No, dummy." Molly said. She touched Warren's forehead, it was still hot.
Ellis grumbled.
"Can you walk?" Molly asked Warren.
"Of course, I just have a fever. I did not break any bones." Warren replied then coughed.
Warren stood up and Molly assisted him in walking.
Ellis went over and assisted Warren too.
Warren smiled at Ellis and thanked her.
Molly saw the sunlight.
They survived the snowstorm.
-Emily's House-
Emily got up and went to the bathroom immediately.
She washed her face and brushed her teeth and hair.
It was her morning routine.
She exited the bathroom and caught a glimpse of the sunlight shining through her bedroom window.
She smiled.
She saw Samuel still sleeping on her bed.
The snowstorm might be over but the New Directions still has a storm waiting for them.
The storm's name?
Emily.
-Breadstix-
Lindsay opened her eyes and rubbed them.
She looked over her shoulder and saw Suzy still snoring with a bit of saliva running out of her mouth.
Lindsay stood up and was extremely delighted to discover that the snowstorm was over.
Only two other people were awake.
She searched for Damian through the quilts. They all looked like evacuees.
Finally, she saw Damian still sleeping, with a big smile on his face.
"He better be dreaming about me" Lindsay thought.
Damian was indeed dreaming about her but not just about her.
He was also dreaming about his parents whom he terribly miss.
Lindsay stretched her arms then smiled.
They survived the snowstorm.
-Bryce's House-
Marissa sat up from the couch and yawned.
She almost laughed when he saw Bryce hugging Cameron on the bed before she realized things between him and Cameron were over.
Or are they?
She walked over to the window and drew the curtains.
She was very relieved when she saw sunlight.
But her heart was still freezing.
"Oh well, at least we survived the snowstorm" she thought.
