What Were The Odds?

Chapter 4-How far can we go?

 Chapter 4-

          TOYS R US. They have brought me to TOYS R US! “I LOVE YOU GUYS FOREVER AND EVER! I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU KNEW THIS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD BUT I LOVE YOU FOR THIS!!!” I shouted while jumping up in down in excitement like a five year old. “We know a lot more about than you know…” Alyssa mumbled. “What??” I asked because I heard Alyssa mumble something I’m just not sure what she said at all. “Huh? Oh nothing I was just thinking a little bit out loud to myself…” As Cade nudged her in the side while giving her a weird look. “Okay. Well while you two are arguing I’m going shopping in there and you two are paying!!!” I yelled in a sing-song voice and ran inside quickly grabbing a cart and speeding up and down the aisles over and over again grabbing anything I please. The cart was almost completely full when Alyssa and Cade finally caught up to me. I was grabbing the last thing that I had spotted that I decided that I wanted. I had just gotten it in the cart and started pushing it towards the cash registers when Alyssa and Cade jumped in front of the cart to momentarily slow me down saying I had too much but I didn’t listen. I just kept going until I got to the check-out lady. I got everything on top of the counter for her to finish scanning when I finally started listening to Alyssa and Cade’s pleads. But it was too late. “789.74 cents” the check-out lady named Kim announced. Alyssa and Cade’s eyes went wide when I reminded them that it was my birthday and they didn’t get me a present yet so they finally gave in and paid. I ran out of there and hopped into the car with them dragging all of my purchases behind. It took them about 10 minutes to get everything properly packed into the car so we could head to our last destination. They once again placed the blindfold over my eyes and we drove about an hour and a half before we arrived. Like usual, they led me to the front of the building and pulled my blindfold off again. I looked up to see a bright white and blue sign that read IHOP. My favorite restaurant. Now I am kind of creeped out. How do they know so much about me…? Oh well. Who cares? We are at my favorite restaurant! We were in IHOP for about an hour before we left and finally went home. It was only 4 in the afternoon so Cade came over to my place because we were having a sleepover tonight (Not like what you think dirty minded people…) Alyssa went straight up to her apartment for the rest of the day because she was tired. So Cade and I dragged all of my toys in and helped me put them away. By the time we were all done with that it was 5. It had taken us an hour. That is how much stuff I got. Too much. “What do you want to do now?” I asked Cade. We were sprawled out across my living room floor next to each other completely bored to death. “Got a piano?” Cade asked “Yup!” I said excitedly. I have always played piano and written songs. “Want to write a song with me? It doesn’t have to be good or correct but we could still do it.” Cade said. “You play?” I asked. He nodded. “Piano and guitar.” He said “Oh. Cool.” I said. We walked over to my Grand piano. I was on the right side of the seat (High part-right hand) and he was on the left (Low part- left hand) we started playing random warm ups until we started to randomly play a new rhythm in sync. Words started to pop into my mind so I started to sing-

                                             I wish we’d only known,

What someday we’d become,

This life were trying to live

Somedays it can get tough

And that I truly know.

That someday all we’d have to do,

Is find just one more way

One more way to have some fun

One day to find someone

Someone who can get us through the day

And one more way to be happy

One way to prepare,

For all of these silly things,

That we call life.

Now,

Life can be a silly thing,

Life can be great,

But some days we need a way,

Just one more way!

Now we need to find a way,

We all need one day,

To recover,

From the ways of life

Just, one way to have some fun,

One day to find someone.

Someone to help us through the day

One more way to be happy

One way to prepare,

For all of these silly things,

That we call life.

And this is all we need

So we can proceed

To ride on this crazy train

And try harder each and every day,

So all we have to do,

Is hope for one more way.

Just one more way

Just. One. Last. Way.

          We finished the song sort of soft yet strong at the same time and it came out beautifully. “Wow did you make that just as we were playing? That quick? You’re really good!” Cade exclaimed. “Uhh t-thanks but I-I’m really not good...” I stuttered and trailed off as I said it. Then everything was silent. He took my hands, stared directly at me, leaned in closer towards me and whispered “You’re stunning, Darling.” He started to lean in closer and I just stared at him like he was crazy and once again slid out of his grasp stood up and said “We should probably get ready for bed!” I started to walk into my bedroom but before I closed the door, I turned around and said “I’ll meet you back out here in a few minutes, okay?” He blinked and seemed surprised that I was calm and he said “Okay.” *5 minutes later* I finished changing into my shorts and tank top that I usually sleep in for comfort and walked back out there to find Cade wearing an outfit matching mine exactly. Those WERE my clothes! He turned around to strike a girly pose and said “How do I look?” in a valley girl accent. At first I just stared at my tight fitting pink and purple clothes on my neighbor then I bursted out laughing literally rolling around on the floor. Soon after he started to do the same as me and we laughed for about 15 minutes before our stomachs hurt so bad that we looked and sounded like retarted seals clapping and gasping for air. After that we finally managed to calm down and we both got serious faces and he said “Seriously these are my pajamas for tonight.” I was a bit surprised about this but I decided there was no harm in it so I decided to go with it. “Okay but you can keep them. They’re probably too big for me now anyways…” This just made him laugh a bit before he just simply answered “Okay.” For the next couple of hours we just talked and learned more about each other and our families. I told him absolutely everything and he told me absolutely everything. We had a very strong connection now. We checked the clock. 12:39. Uh-Oh. I have to get up early for my first day of work tomorrow. “We better get to sleep now or else my first day tomorrow will suck. It’s already going to suck.” I said. “Why is it going to suck?” He questioned me. “Because you won’t be there to tell me when I’m doing something stupid or just plainly incorrectly!” I said “Oh well it won’t be that bad. I promise. That’s what Harry and Bela for. If they aren’t too busy making out you may be able to slip a few questions in here and there when they come back up for air…” He joked. I laughed dryly. “Alright well good night Cade!” I half-yelled “Good night Kat!” He half yelled back as I walked into my room and he walked into my spare with just a bed and a light. Not too interesting. I really hope my first day of work will really go as well as Cade said. If Bela and Harry will listen I might be okay. MIGHT.
