Chapter 8
Night.
Colleseum Inn.
DJ stood alone outside on the balcony that connected to all the rooms. He just stared at the stars and remembered one night in his childhood. One night after baseball, DJ, Missy, Miller and Daisy were lying on the ground staring at the stars.
"You know, I've always loved the shine of the stars." said DJ.
"Imagine if the four of us shined like them." said Miller. "There'd be no reason for pain and discomfort."
"The world can throw what it wants at me." said DJ. "All that matters is you, bubbs."
"I love you, bubbs." said Miller.
"I love you too, bubbs." said DJ.
Bessy and Rose then began to yell.
"Lane, Miller!" shouted Bessy. "Get your asses in the barn and get to bed!"
"Missy, Daisy, you too, or I'll take away your dolls!" shouted Rose.
Present.
"Ya know, when I see stars like these, I'm reminded of that one night after baseball when we were kids." said Miller, who was now standing beside DJ.
"I'm such an asshole." said DJ. "I wish I'd been nicer, but more importantly, I wish I'd never taken Daisy."
"You aren't an asshole to me." said Miller. "You didn't remember. But even if it wasn't quite the love as what you are with Missy, there's some nice children that wouldn't be, had you always been with Missy."
"They're not all perfect." said DJ. "Valerie is the only one that is. She's the only one I haven't accidentally tought to hate. And I believe she's the only one that's never hated you. I've done wrong, they've done wrong-"
"Okay, I've heard enough." said Missy, from the bed. "Will you please just stop talking about them?"
"I will." said DJ and turned to Miller. "Will you tell Daisy something? It's about Missy."
"I can tell her when she gets out of the shower." said Miller. "What is it?"
"We just got back from the hospital." said DJ. "We're having a boy."
Miller's eyes got big.
"And the answer to your question is no, I never use a condom." said DJ.
"Please stay out of my mind." said Miller.
"Your wish is granted." said DJ.
