Finding A Home part 2

Chapter 22

Today I got up before anyone else. I slept peacefully for the first night in ages. Still feeling butterflies from lastnight. I was inspired to share my happiness around.

I fried bacon perfectly. Just the way they like it. Made eggs as fluffy as clouds. Biscuits cooked so golden brown you could find them in a mine. Made a bowl of fruit salad for their sweet tooth.

The smell carried them out of bed straight to the kitchen where I had their plates set.

"What's this for?"
Stevie asked looking down at the food with heart eyes.

"Just spreading a little love."

"Thanks kid,this taste great. How was Torey's?" Ally spoke as she was sitting down.

"It was fine. We had a simple night in. We don't need to go out."

"That's nice." She said shortly.

I set my plate down to eat the breakfast I had made for myself. I gazed over to see Stevie reaching to hold Ally's hand. Ally ripped her hand away and sat it in her lap. You could see Stevie's facial expression change in a milisecond. She looked so hopeless. She was trying so hard to hold back her sadness. They are still trying to act like nothing is going on. This is the first time there's been an actual sign.

It killed my high,but I wasn't going to let it ruin my day. I was just wondering why they were trying so hard to hide it. When I've already been told.

"I'm suppose to go out woth Danny,I'll call you later guys. Love you Allie." She said this as she pulled on her jacket and grabbed her keys. The door flew open then shut.

"I guess she's off in a hurry!" She said stuffing her mouth with what little was left of my food.

"She just hasn't seen Danny sense you were in the hospital. I'm sure she just really wants to see him."

"I guess so."

You could tell she was stressed and feeling alone.

"Don't be so worried Nicole. I'm fine."

I guess she could read me just as well as I could read her.

"Get dressed Ms.Thang. I'm taking you out."

"I just want to stay home."

"Stevie,no. You're getting out of this house. We're going to have a blast just dress comfortably. Dress in something that isn't too important,okay?"

"Allie Nicole what are you up to?"

"Trust me,okay?"

"Okay. Let me get dressed."

I started to text Shannon and Cammie to spread the word to everyone other than Ally and Danny. Stevie needed her friends and a little distraction. They understood and went with the plan.

Stevie and I got ready and headed out.

"Please tell me what you're doing?"

"I'm taking you with me places."

"If you're gonna drag me out can we at least get starbucks?"

"Of course."

I got her her precious starbucks and started the day. I stopped at Lowe's to get paint buckets. Multi colors.

"Why are you getting paint? What are you painting?"

"It's a suprise. Get like a whole bunch of safety goggles please?"

"What are you up to??"

"Just go with the flow."

She rolled her eyes and got a couple of safety goggles. I told her we'd need more than that. I grabbed a bucket and counted as I threw them in. She looked at me like I was insane. As did the the woman at the counter as I told her how many I had and all the paint I had botton.
