Extraordinarily Ordinary

The Truth Must Be Told

If you didn't already know, the song above is All of me by John Legend. Sorry, if the videos haven't been playing on the devices you've been reading on. I think it only works if you're reading on a laptop. Again, sorry about that. But in spite of that, I hope you like this chapter.

"The lady on the phone explained to be what happened but do you want to tell me why exactly you were visiting Isaac's sister?" Noah asked, his arms folded.

I had walked out of my room, my hair in a messy bun, still tired from last night.

"I made friends with her when I was in the hospital for my yearly check up." I replied, groggily. He began to rub his temples.

"Beth, I don't know what I would have done if Isaac hadn't had stopped that son of a-"

"Noah, nothing happened. I'm fine," I assured him.

"I'm sorry that I got mad at Isaac, that night. I know that's the last thing you needed-"

"Seriously, Noah, everything is fine."

"You sure you're fine?" I laughed a little at his concern. Was I really okay? Physically? Yeah, I was fine except for my throbbing headache. But emotionally? Not even close. Yep, I was a mess.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Guess what? Guess what? Guess what? I've got good news!" Kat exclaimed excitedly.

I rolled my eyes at her enthusiasm. It was way too early be this happy.

"Ooh, I know! You're happy that we've only got a couple more months of school!" Eve suggested as we began walking down the school hallways.

"Eve, you're not actually supposed to guess." In response, Eve folded her arms and pouted.

"So then don't tell us to guess."

"Pssht, whatever. What I was going to say was that Isaac broke up with Olivia!"

"Oh wow, that fast huh? I assumed he would least be with her for more then a week, but I guess I just gave him too much credit."

"Yeah, Kat, after what he did, I'm back to being on Beth's side. That guy's a jerk. Always was and always will be."

"Yes!" I exclaimed as I gave her a high five.

"But he saved you from the crazy psychopath in the hospital."

"Kat, he wasn't saving me, he was saving his sister. The whole thing doesn't even matter anymore."

"Your tone says otherwise," She observed, with a hand on her hip.

"Uh, Okay, Dr.Phil. I'll go home and think about it."

"Ugh, you are impossible."

"And your crazy."

" That's pure opinion." She said defiantly.

"No, I'm pretty sure that's pure fact."

"Also, I have more good news!"

"Oh joy. What? Did you find out that some orphan died today without a family? I swear, you guys have no idea what the phrase 'good news' means."

"No, although, that sounds really depressing. No depressing thoughts. Only happy. The god news is that I've come up with a ship name for Kat and Shaun!"

I looked to Kat worriedly."Oh no."

"No, no no! It's good this time. I decided to use last names like for Heroes of Olympus series. You know? #Solangelo?"
