Crazy Love

Chapter Twenty-Eight

"Okay girl. It's time to spill those beans. What the heck happened yesterday???" Katie asked. Well. More like demanded.

"He got hit by an eighteen wheeler. And....he almost...." I trailed off as I felt a lump in my throat. "Ohhh. say no more. I got you. I got you." Katie said wrapping her arms around me.

"At least he's alright." She said. "Yeah. Thank god. I don't know what the girls and I would do without him." I said.

-----------------

After Katie and I finished our coffee we went to the mall and I of course went to hot topic. I got a dress with a lace skull showing the back and she got a dress with a lace backbone showing the back. :3

"Well, that was fun." Katie said smiling. I nodded in agreement. "I have to go pick up ShīRee soon. I promised her lunch." I said.

"Yeah. I gotta go too. I promised the kids a trip to the park." Katie said.

After Katie left I drove to ShiRee's. as soon as I pulled into the drive Derek called.

"Hello?" I said. "Hey, Baby. Where are you?" Derek asked.

"I'm getting ShīRee so we can go to lunch." I told him. "But...I was supposed to take YOU to lunch today." He complained putting the emphasis on 'you'. "Shit. I'm sorry babe I totally forgot.... I promised Shi..." I trailed off.

"Yeah. So? I promised you." Derek stated firmly. "I guess she'll have to tag along." I fired back.

He sounded like he was getting frustrated. Derek has held a grudge against her since the eighth grade because she called him a bully without even knowing him. I agree with him that she shouldn't have judged him just because he was a typical heartbreaking teenage boy. -_-

He gave a sigh of giving in. "Fine. Bring her to the house and we'll go." He said frustrated.

ShīRee got in the car and I told her the news. "I forgot Derek told me he was taking me to lunch and then I promised you I'd take you so there's a change of plans and it's going to be you, me, and Derek and I do not want you guys to argue and blehhhhhh." I said so fast I ran out of breath.

"Woah. Slow down before you blow a gasket." ShīRee said.

"We won't argue. I promise. I just won't talk to him." She said smiling. "That's.... not okay. I want you guys to talk but I don't want you to be jumping down each other's throats." I stated holding the steering wheel.

"I can't make a promise to that boo boo." She said.

I sighed as I pulled in front of my house and Derek was propped against the car.

Here we go. Fingers crossed that we'll have fun.
