Falling For Trouble {Under Construction}

Chapter 14

"Its been 46 days since we last left off and guess what? We won the state finals, 1st place. It was hell but it was worth it to see the look on Lyrics face, and how proud she was of us all. It was very hard afterwards when everyone had to say their goodbyes to her as our coach, and when we had to say goodbye to volleyball and to us being a team. This was our last volleyball season before we all graduated, and we hardly had any classes together. But we had a great christmas. Neither of us had family to spend the holidays with, well none in the area, so all that we had was each other and the kids. But I did find out that she had one family member around, a little sister that lived in town, Taylor Havlen, she was 13 or so. I got to meet her when her dad dropped her off to join us for lunch, she was a sweet kid, very well mannered, with Lyrics sense of humor. The kids woke us each up at 7 am that morning, excited as hell and forced us to open presents. Ella got an easy bake oven, a Barbie dream house that she cried over and a hello kitty themed Barbie she had been dying to get, from me. That she also cried over. Gabriel got a hot wheels race track, a buzz light year action figure, and then a hot wheels car set from Lyric. We had an amazing lunch that we all worked together on cooking, and then we played board games for the rest of the night and listened to music. Later that night I surprised Lyric with her present, a marujiana hitter set she had been dying for from the gas station in the next town over, but I was confused when she began to laugh, then she pulled the same set out from her bag with a bow slapped on it. We sat there and laughed for a solid 20 seconds before switching our presents and saying thank you. It was the best christmas I've had in a while, and I could tell it was for Gabe too, I don't know if I had ever heard him laugh that much..I just really wish mom had been here to enjoy it too. PS. I whooped Lyrics ass in twister..twice."

Chapter 14 (December 31st, New years eve, 7:13 pm) Lyric strolled down an aisle of the whole foods, pushing a shopping cart full of frozen foods, snacks, drinks and meals to be made in-front of her. She came to a stop when she came across the cereals she had been looking for, turning herself towards the selections of them, her eyes scanned over the different brands and flavors. She pulled in and sucked on her bottom lip while she thought about it, indecisive ass. After about 10 seconds of carefully considering she finally decided on a family sized box of fruity pebbles, grabbing a box of it and going to place it in the cart when Troy sneakily came up behind her, snaking his fingertips onto her waist. "I want Alfredo for dinner." Troy spoke softly into her ear. Lyrics body stiffened at his touch, her head snapped in his direction and all that came out of her mouth was a loud gasp. A smug smile spread across his face and she relaxed at the sight of him but scoffed in disbelief, a smile trying to claw its way out of her. "You ass." She stated, smacking him upside the head with the box of fruity pebbles before placing them in the cart. "Ow.." He scowled quietly and placed a hand over his head where she hit him, she fixed her posture, letting out a hum of disapproval, "And if you decided on what you want for dinner then why didn't you grab the ingredients?" Lyric pressed, casually sauntering down the aisle like she hadn't just assaulted him with a box of cereal. "I need your help carrying the things" Troy grumbled playfully and tossed the bag of chips into the cart that he had gone to find.. Lyric came to a quick stop, rolling her eyes. "Okay you man baby, let's go to the pasta aisle then..I want to get home and make dinner, I'm hungry." She said simply and swung the cart back around, Troy smiled big, walking at her side as they strolled down the aisle. They came to the end of it and went to turn right when they almost rammed their cart into Louis DuPont, Wyatt Black and Archie Evans. Everyone came to a quick halt and Lyrics eyes went wide at the sight of them all, Louis's pissy expression faded and a big smile spread across his face when he realized it was them. "Watch where you're going, imbéciles" Louis's French accent playfully broke through the tension, and a nervous smile spread across Lyrics face. "Hey Louis, Sorry." Lyric murmured and he waved her off, chuckling smoothly, "You know I'm just messing around..come here, darling, I haven't seen you in forever!" Louis professed and shoved his case of Busch Light into Wyatt's already full arms which made him stumble, quickly correcting himself though. Lyric smiled again but wider and made her way around the cart to him, Louis took a step to her and opened his arms, Lyric wrapping her arms around his neck as he pulled her into an affectionate hug.
