🤭Rivertown🤭Can I Ask You A Question

Hospital

Tyler, Maddie and London were off to the hospital
"We need gas" Tyler sighed pulling into the gas station
"I have to pee" London said
"I'll take her" Maddie said getting out of the car along with London
Walking into the store, there was a cranky old man at the register. Ignoring him they went to the bathroom.
Leaving the bathroom.
"Look at the chips floating" London said pointing to them "and the doors opened"
"Hey! why is your kid making a mess in my store" the man shouted
"Excuse me" Maddie questioned
"There's chips all over the floor, and all the fridge doors are open" the man said
"Ok, so how would my child be able to do all that in a few minutes? You can't just assume it was my daughter, there's many other people in this store" Maddie said
"At least shut the doors" the man rolled his eyes walking back to the counter
"Come on London let's go" Maddie said taking London's hand and they left the store.
Abby was up to something.

Car
"You guys ok" Tyler asked when Maddie and London got in the car
"Yeah, we're ok, I think Abby's up to something though" Maddie said
"Like what" Tyler asked
"All the chips were floating around, and the doors of the fridges opened and closed" Maddie said
"It was crazy" London said
"Sounds crazy" Tyler agreed
"At least no harm" Maddie said
"Yeah, thank god for that" Tyler said
"Let's get out of here" Maddie said
"Alright" Tyler laughed

Hotel
The clan was hanging out by the pool
"How was the arcade" Mason asked Caleb, Joesph and Sarah who had returned.
"It was good" Caleb said
"Yeah we got some stuff, we ended up combining our points, we got everyone a mini squishy, I got a cat stuff animal for myself" Sarah said
"I got a new headset for myself" Caleb said
"How did you afford all this" Elle asked
"We might have refilled our cards a couple times" Caleb said
"Caleb we told you guys once was enough" Emily said
"Emily, I paid for it, you're fine" Catherine said
"I don't need your money Catherine" Emily snapped
"I know, I was just being nice" Catherine said
"Since when" Emily asked
"Why are you picking a fight" Mason asked
"I'm not" Emily said
"You are" the adults say in unison causing a subtle laugh from Caleb and Sarah.
"Pizza tonight" Josh asked
"Pizza" the kids cheered
"Good distraction" Catherine whispered
"Pizza is always the answer, also your mother told me to tell you to call her" Josh said
"Ok" Catherine replied knowing she won't
"Can we get breadsticks too" Sarah asked
"Yeah we can" Catherine said
"Sounds like once Tyler's dad is on his feet we'll be headed back" Elle said
"That makes sense, I'm glad Maddie was there to support him" Mason said
"Me too" Shawn agreed
"Mom I'm hungry" Hope whined walking over to Elle
"Catherine is about to order pizza and breadsticks" Elle said
"Cheese pizza" Hope asked
"And pepperoni pizza" Catherine said
"Gross" Hope said
"Some people like pepperoni" Shawn said
"You do" Hope said
"I do" Shawn agreed
"Am I picking this up or should I do delivery" Catherine asked
"Delivery would probably be easiest" Max said
"Delivery it is" Catherine said "anything else"
"Are you gonna get a salad" Emily asked "there's a lot of carbs in pizza"
"I can get you a salad" Catherine said rolling her eyes
"Thank you" Emily smiled

Playground
"Can we play a different game" Susan asked the group, Sarah, Joesph, and Caleb were swinging on the swings near them, as Hope, Avery, London, Sunny and Susan played tag.
"What game" Sunny asked
"Hide and seek" London asked
"We always play that" Hope said
"Yeah" Sunny agreed
"We can play hide our toys, we can hide our squishes and someone has to find it" London said
"That's just hide and seek with toys" Sunny said
"We can play guess the Taylor Swift song" Hope said
"On what" Avery asked
"On a phone, me and my dad play all the time" Hope said
"Or we can play pirates and sea monster" Susan asked
"Yes" Sunny said in agreement
"London will be the sea monster" Hope said
"Yeah" Avery agreed
"I'm always the sea monster" London said rolling her eyes as they all ran to the play set

An hour later
Catherine's room
"How are you feeling today" June asked Catherine was sitting on the bed with her laptop in her lap.
"I'm ok, just overwhelmed" Catherine said
"With what" June asked
"Life as usual, do you think it was wrong of me to marry Josh" Catherine asked
"Why did you marry him" June asked
"Cause of my parents, I don't love him if that's what you're asking, I do as a friend, I loved our friendship and our friend group, but now it feels my life is consumed by him" Catherine said
"Is it cause of your kids" June asked
"Maybe, I don't know, I love my kids I truly do, Sarah's just like Josh, she's got his looks and everything, she had my sass when she was young, Sunny is just like me, her hair is lighter though, Bailey looks adopted" Catherine laughed
"If it's not your kids, then your parents you mentioned them" June said
"Oh well you know them, they are narcissistic homophobic assholes, but, they are so sweet with my kids, and they were fine at first when we reconnected, I think they only are cause I married Josh not Elle or any woman for that matter" Catherine said
"Do you think that's why you cheat? To rebel against your parents and husband" June asked
"Nope, it's just how I cope, sex is my coping mechanism, plus Josh doesn't know what to do with his dick other than get me pregnant" Catherine laughed "at first he did, in the early stages, now he's too lazy for my pleasure"
"Oh Catherine" June shook her head
"What" Catherine questioned
"There is better ways to cope with stress and life Catherine" June said
"I know that" Catherine said
"I'm not judging you, I'm just trying to help" June stated
"I know you are, and our talks help, thank you for that" Catherine said
"Just doing my job" June smiled "well that's all for today"
"Alright, bye" Catherine said shutting her laptop
